Dinosaur Jr. Will Destroy Your Hearing

He speaks the truth. I saw them at your FYF and they blew my eardrums out. Couldn't hear for 2 days, but totally worth it!

Bring earplugs!

I have to admit I was kind of disappointed at FYF, I didn't feel the sound system was really doing them justice. (I was also near the mid-back of the crowd.) Really looking forward to hearing them a bit better at coachella.

[wooha]

Can't wait for this set. Without A Sound is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Dinosaur Jr.'s been my favorite band for years. Seen them live several times and I'm psyched to finally see them at Coachella. Earplugs recommended. They are loud. Not MBV loud but still loud enough to justify earplugs.

So odd to see J playing a Les Paul.

So odd to see J playing a Les Paul.

most of the tones on nearly all the records are a les paul and a tele. i heard he only uses offsets live.

This set will be no place for a grandma.

Saw them at FYF over last summer, sunset...it was magical. J killed it!

yep, same thought. what a piece of shit.

They were fucking loud at FYF. I will make sure not to be so close this time.

[heart cooks brain]

how close were you?

i don't remember having any issues with my hearing after their abbey pub show in chicago.

[menikmati]

About 15 feet from the left stack.

No shit.... I have never that heard before. I've seen tons of live shows throughout the years including a couple shows for "Where you Been" and he always rocked the jmaster.

[shoegazer76]

I have definitely experienced hearing loss the day after a Dinosaur Jr. show and I think I was 16-17 years old. Freaked me out the day after when ebrything sounded muffled. Went and got a good set of headphones after that and use them depending on where I'm located at a show.
The influence Shields and Mascis have on one another in regards to the levels is undeniable.

I was 200 feet back in the beer garden at FYF and my ears are still ringing

[FEELS]

bump! so fucking excited for this..







P.S. i also just asked Lee Ranaldo on Instagram that if he goes to Coachella this year, to please join them for Little Fury Things. Haa

[TomAz]

so I'm picturing a sort of 8pm mainstage LCD Soundsystem set.. except that doesn't jibe at all with being 4th line on the poster. so are we thinking like a 5pm mainstage Breeders/Yo La Tengo/Wilco kind of set time? or an evening Outdoor slot? what do you think? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Sushov23]

My guess is Mojave or Outdoor. Either way, I'll be there.

[heart cooks brain]

i was thinking mojarve.

dinosaur jr. -> the Faint to close against RHCP would be pretty excellent.

[Sushov23]

I'm thinking early than that. I want to say 4pm Outdoor, or 6pm Mojave. I don't think they'll go too late into the night.

[heart cooks brain]

yeah, i'm sure they'll end up earlier, just a thought.

[Tikiman]

Yeah, saw them years ago at Lollapalooza. Saw people leaving in droves because the volume AND the feedback was way too overwhelming. I thought they were loud, but then later Ministry came out and i swear I saw trees wilting from the onslaught.
