Can you believe that the Dave Clark Five was once considered the loudest band in the world. As band #2 of the British Invasion of the sixties....they were considered the "loudest" until the WHO.

What band holds that distinction now?? Any ideas???

There really is no band that's the loudest, it just depends on the person controlling the sound on the sound board. I'm a sound tech, so i know about that.

Critics are critics, there are so many of them, u never know what one's are right, until u judge for yourself.

British punk band Gallows allegedly broke Manowar's previous record for loudest band in the world, claiming to have achieved 132.5 dB; however, this record was claimed in an isolated studio environment as opposed to live.


Other previous record holders include Deep Purple (117 decibels), Iron Maiden (1985 Guinness World Book of Records), The Rolling Stones, Motörhead, AC/DC, My Bloody Valentine (132 decibels), and KISS (120 decibels). Although it has never been made official, some reports suggest that New York noise rock band, Swans reached 140 decibels at some gigs.

Funny things you can find on the internet if you google it... This is what I found.
