[Mike Blakesley]

38 Special's one of those acts that my favorite songs are their hits. I had several of the albums and always felt that they picked the best songs as singles. So, today I have their "A&M Years" CD and that's it.

The band was in concert this year at MontanaFair (Billings) and sounded excellent. Too loud, but excellent.

 

[Rudy]

Rock and roll is never too loud.

(Rock and roll ain't noise pollution. )

 

[Mike Blakesley]

If it's distorted, it is. (Remember Cerwin-Vega's motto...."Loud is beautiful, if it's clean." Truer words were never spoken!)

Actually the concert might have sounded bad to us because of where we were sitting. We were off to the side of the stage.

 

[A&Mguyfromwayback]

No, it can actually sound beautiful and be way too loud. Lose your hearing loud.....
