Whether you're drunk, high, pissed off (or maybe all three, like tonight), let's hear your songs (whether you're in the car, or have headphones on, or I guess lucky enough to live in a house where your neighbors don't give a shit) that you just cannot crank loud enough.  Songs you just say, fuck it, I don't care if I go deaf tomorrow, I need this shit as loud as possible right now...  Mine are all live versions, because I think the live versions blow the studio versions away... YMMV...

Any live version from 1979-1980...

 

ITAOT version...

 

 

Maybe not an ear bleeder, but I tend to turn this the fuck up.

Tracks 1 and 2 off Killer Be Killed. You can’t miss the transition between them.

If it's rock and roll... it's all ear bleeder worthy.  I started making a mental list of songs best heard at 11, and it ran off the page.

Pos rep to OP, I typically don't crank the music up anymore in my middle age, but I've got a dozen versions of "Run Like Hell"...and whenever they come on...I turn it up as loud as it gets. 

Something about Gilmour riff seems to need to get to the ether with my help

I'll submit this one also.  It's obviously a fun song to chant along with, but cranking up the noise brings out a strong horn line and a great rockabilly Bb major  that teeters on the line of bending into a blues minor, but the roller coaster ride is a damn good song up loud.

Thanks to every body who posted, I'm also middle-aged and pretty set in my ways, lots of "new" stuff here I've never heard but will be delving into further.  Everything posted so far is fucking awesome.

And of course a nod to EVH, my favorite VH song of all time...

<not sure if serious gif> But IDGAF, I have blasted We've Only Just Begun and "Close to You", especially after the pause at the end where it explodes into about 6-part harmony.  

Most of The Clash makes for pretty good crankers.

I love to kick out the jams with the opening chords of 

But I usually turn it down after Topper kicks in.

This, however, stays up.

But the bass line and deep synth/drum machine are liable to break shit.

You and I would get along really well - love JMC, Psychocandy is an all time great album.  And in concert, really loud.

 

would add Austin's own: 

 

I gotta add for my own sanity so I can call back on it in 2021.  But anytime from 2012-2019 and I was traveling at a business conference.  I would take a break between the plenary reception and the myriad evening events.  Would go up to my room and blare the shit out of this song.  As loud as it would get between the in-room stereo, my laptop, whatever it was...this was the only way I could psyche myself up into dealing with white people for another few hours: 

this song got me through more awkward elevator "Hey, you heading down to the oyster bar mixer?" conversations that I could possibly count.  Don't know what the 2021 soundtrack looks like when it all goes back online.  Look forward to swapping war stories with y'all.  

Ministry - Stigmata

that monster riff, the unrelenting beat, the distorted vocals.... at 52 years old, not much makes me want to fuck shit up, but this comes pretty close.

 

 

don't laugh (too much).  this one is more about historical context, for me.  besides it getting a lot of play at The Back Room, back in the day, where we'd kill off a several pitchers of beer after softball games, it stands out for me because of paintball.  

there was an indoor paintball place out off Burleson, near Lockheed.  they had badass guns (gravity feed, rapid-fire, etc.---light years ahead of our old Splatmasters).  it was dark, with a maze in the middle lit up with strobes.  very intense.  

anyway, one of ME### profs had pulled me aside a couple days before and told me I needed a B on the final to pass his class and graduate.  took the test in the afternoon, then we went to the paintball place.  during one of the rounds, this song was played particularly loud.  again, very intense.

prof called me that evening, shortly after we got home to tell me I totally blew it on the first question.  my heart was seriously taxed , at this point.  fortunately, I was one of the few who got the other three questions right, so he passed me.  woohoo!  done with school forever.

this one is better than the original:

fun thread, i listened to almost all of the songs shared!

I'm middle aged, so I will start with my first "crank it up" song I remember when I was really young

in the 80's I heard about this new group called Metallica. I played this song over and over in my car equipped with Jensen Triaxials

Last, an example of the type of music I crank up now. I cranked this up after we lost to ou. I love this fucking song

Good shit in here, keep it comin'...

Gonna throw some curve balls at ya, but trust me, they work at full blast...  (these definitely fall into the being drunk category... for me anyway)

A few of my brother’s favorite bands, would double rep if I could

Put the crack pipe down. You can get your ass kicking at 3:30 today at the flag pole.





Tbone wins.  I champion that performance of War Pigs to everyone.  It is one of the heaviest things ever.

That was bad ass and I’m here to dine on some delectable crow.

I was comparing the Zakk Wyler concert version of Mr. Crowley against them Randy Rhodes studio version.

I love the song, but it’s original recording didn’t do anything for me. 

24-7 mutha fukkin Spyz

 

 

Weird, when I click that mr Crowley link I posted it goes to a no more tears video now. Wtf?

Was listening to some Pumpkins the other day and thought of this thread. Basically every song they ever made I have to crank up. Especially Siamese Dream. 

He's such a fucking genius.

I see neither Crowley nor War Pigs. When I click on it I get Crazy Train with Jake on guitar.

IMO it's Randy>Jake (close second)>Zakk

Wait...so you weren’t posting War Pigs from Paris, 1970?  Well shit, then I’m posting it...

Bill Ward goes off like an atom bomb. 

 

 

There isn’t a stereo in the known universe that can get appropriately loud enough for this song

and you have to jam this one loud and sing along...

Interestingly, this song also wins the "best song with bagpipes in it" category.

I would argue that most of the AC/DC catalog needs to be listened to at ear bleeding volume. I was pumping A Whole Lotta Rosie in the truck yesterday at such a volume.
