But the below note from wiki gives a good idea ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudest_ban... The heavy metal band Manowar is one claimant of the title of "loudest band in the world", citing a measurement of 129.5 decibels in 1994 in Hanover. The Guinness Book of World Records once listed it as the record holder for the loudest musical performance for an earlier performance in 1984. However, Guinness does not recognize Manowar's later claim, because it no longer includes a category of loudest band, reportedly because it does not want to encourage ear damage.[4][5][6] The Who were the last band listed as the record holder, at 126 decibels, measured at a distance of 32 metres from the speakers at a concert at Charlton Athletic Football Ground on 1976-05-31. Other previous record holders include Deep Purple (117 decibels), The Rolling Stones (which replaced Deep Purple), and KISS.[7][8][9] Metallica has styled itself the "loudest band in the world". However, after one concert on 1997-11-11, which the band dubbed the "Million Decibel March", the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that "neighbours who [had] feared the worst from the self-styled Loudest Band in the World complained more about the sound from the news choppers circling overhead". British post-hardcore band Gallows allegedly broke Manowar's previous record for loudest band in the world, claiming to have achieved 132.5 decibels[10] -HTH Aski i guess Yes they do. |
