my friends are always like earplugs are for pussies but that's so stupid because they're not thinking about 20 years from now, when I'll be going to shows, and they'll be home crying about how their deaf hahaha.

Yeah man, I've been considering it, I love the raw live sound some bands deliver, but man, I can't take shitty bands anymore. I found that when I would stick my finger in my ear I could hear better, so I guess earplugs are the way to go! And fuck earplugs not being metal, It's metal if I say it's metal!

Marduk are still nowhere to be found! Apparently, there's been some problems with getting their Visas. Someone screwed up some paperwork, and Marduk hasn't played a single show on this tour. Kind of disappointing, but Mayhem plays longer because of it. So I guess its okay

Funeral Fog!!

was wondering if anyone knew what exact time Mayhem played, either this show or any other one

I've been wearing them to ever show since 2006. I was doing five gigs in six days and I remember being front-row for Skid Row one night, and my ears still ringing the next night at Opeth, with Cathedral up the day after so figured I had to do something about it.

What I found, if you get semi-decent ones (I use Doc's Proplugs), is they don't just block out sound (like those really basic bright yellow ones used in factories etc.). They make everything much clearer. The ones I have only cut out the damaging frequencies, as well as a large chunk of the raw volume, making everything clearer, but still allowing you to have a conversation with someone during the band. It makes shows better. Every time.

Mine cost about £15. Looks like for you guys they're even cheaper:

Get the vented ones.

How are they in terms of fitting? Do they come off? Because I wouldn't wanna spend $12.95 on a single pair and then lose them at the first show I wear them to. I have this problem at every show. I head bang a lot so the foam earplugs (yea those bright yellow ones) keep coming out of my ears and I have to scramble for them.
And I'm in the same boat as you .. I'm doing 6(may be 7) shows from June 9th to June 14th.
