Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I went to Metallica and the mosh pit was too much for me. The nearby marine corps base cranked it up to 11. 🤣
Marines tend to do that. 😂😂😂
Sounds like an experience you won’t forget! Standing in front of the speakers can really get to you, depending on the artist. At Eric Church concert my entire body was vibrating. He has the most speakers of anyone I’ve seen. When Chris Stapleton was just getting started playing the bigger venues they hadn’t quite figured out the speakers. When he started singing it was such a crazy thing. Huge vibrations and a little hard on the ears. Once they were halfway through the first song it was normal. After half the tour they figured it out. Standing at the stage and a lifetime of loud music is probably why my ears ring constantly.
