Best excuse for playing loud music?


Have you ever been told to turn the volume down on you hifi system? What is your best excuse for offending someone else?

The best I have heard came from a friend back in high school. His brother used to play music really loud in his upstairs bedroom. When his mother would ask him to turn it down, he would say, "I can't, I'm recording." His mother bought the excuse every time.

Jea48- The opposite is also true of extreme high end, really really good systems can play VERY loud and you have no clue that it is even loud until your talking to a friend in the room and your both yelling and still can't hear each other! It happens to me everytime I have guests over :)
Jea48,

Remind me not to invite you to any parties. B-o-r-i-n-g! :>)

I had a friend in high school who had a hot-rod Plymouth Sebring with a piece of crap stereo. When we would drive around drinking beer he would play it so loud the words would almost be non-identifiable due to the distortion.

Some of the best times I have ever had.

IF YOU WANT TO ROCK, IT'S GOTTA BE LOUD!!!

Regards,
Years ago when I had some mono-blocks, I used to use earplugs when playing the stereo extremely loud & when asked why I would ever want to turn it up that loud I gave the only possible answer-I was pretending I was at the concert & did they want to join me?
