October 11, 20205 yr 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...
October 11, 20205 yr Maybe not an ear bleeder, but I tend to turn this the fuck up. Edited October 11, 20205 yr by TwiceHorn
October 11, 20205 yr Tracks 1 and 2 off Killer Be Killed. You can’t miss the transition between them.
October 11, 20205 yr 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.
October 11, 20205 yr 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.

October 11, 20205 yr Author 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.

October 13, 20205 yr 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. Edited October 13, 20205 yr by TwiceHorn

October 14, 20205 yr 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.
October 14, 20205 yr 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.
October 15, 20205 yr 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.
October 16, 20205 yr this one is better than the original: fun thread, i listened to almost all of the songs shared! Edited October 16, 20205 yr by mchookem
October 16, 20205 yr 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
October 23, 20205 yr Author 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)
October 23, 20205 yr at 52 years old, not much makes me want to fuck shit up, but this comes pretty close.

October 27, 20205 yr Put the crack pipe down. You can get your ass kicking at 3:30 today at the flag pole.
October 27, 20205 yr Tbone wins. I champion that performance of War Pigs to everyone. It is one of the heaviest things ever.

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.
October 28, 20205 yr Weird, when I click that mr Crowley link I posted it goes to a no more tears video now. Wtf?

October 28, 20205 yr 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.
October 28, 20205 yr 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...

November 1, 20205 yr 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.
