Dinosaur Jr

[BlackHole2006]

Basically me and my mate are big fans of J Mascis guitar playing, Lou Barlows pumpin' bassline and Murphs pounding drums. My mate isn't going to Glasto unfortunately, but we are seeing a Dinosaur Jr show in may some time (got alot of gigs planned then) and we are expecting our ears to be smashed to smitherines!

I was just wandering seeing as they are touring the U.K in may (again I'm seeing them) would they stick around for the delights of Glasto? Would suit the John Peel tent immensley.

Who couldn't resist this mind blowing peice of guitar work?

I really want see Dinosaur Jr live. Love for them to play Glasto

[timespeedsup]

When if ever did they last play Glasto?

[biscant]

One of my favourites but not sure if they'll play this year? The festival slots rarely suits them sadly they could easily headline the Peely but I don't want to miss them haha.

Good band, Really enjoyed them last time they played Leeds.

They seem to only really play ATP events these days.

Then again the last time they played Reading/Leeds they were put underneath The Twang so who can blame them.

Oh, and if you do go see them, bring earplugs

Wasn't so bad at Reading, the crowd was awesome:

The last album is a cracker, right up there with their best. I'd love to see them at Glasto but I'd be surprised if it happened. They'd need a golf buggy to get Mascis around the site too, the lazy eejit.

I hope they do what MBV do and give earplugs at the start of their gigs.

Me and my mates ears are gonna be wrecked by the end of the gig if not.

[BlackHole2006]

It's not quite at MBV levels (That was like standing next to a jet engine - the plaster in the walls was shaking) so no earplugs - but it was pretty f**king loud.

At the Explosions ATP, for Backed Out on the Cocks, Explosions in the Sky, The Constantines and J Mascis joined Broken Social Scene on stage. About 20 people playing.....

And all you could hear was J Mascis soloing over the top of them all

[robith]

Haha that sounds awesome! What a legend!

He can write proper melodic tunes aswell. Vast range of styles

[st00ka]

Can we have Sebadoh as well please?

[fowls]

Definitely wear ear plugs. I went to the Forum show 3 years back and it was by far the loudest gig I've ever heard (not seen MBV though, so can't compare levels). Was pretty much white noise until I put my earplugs in, and even then it was REALLY loud. They didn't hand out earplugs though, so go prepared.

Wouldn't mind them playing, never seen them. A couple of mates went to see them a year or 2 ago. It took a week for their ears to recover.

So what are people verdicts then? Earplugs or no earplugs?

I'd take ear plugs, you can get ones like this http://www.sensorcom.com/product.asp?P_ID=1341&PT_ID=321 for decent prices and they are reusable. I've got a pair similar to those and they are great and much better than ones that just block the sound. Often they can make things clearer at gigs if it is really loud. I've found that if someone says something to me during a gig I can hear it much better with them in.

However, their set at Reading was just about the best thing on all weekend (is it only me that thinks Reading has gone right downhill with it's line up ever since Leeds got going?) even though they seem very reluctant to play much of the great material J developed without Lou around (No "Start Choppin'" or "Get Me" ). Amazing live band - would definitely see them (as long as they didn't clash with Stevie, Faithless,......etc,etc.!!).
