Yeah...REAL loud. I've seen DD a few times and the first time I was
really unprepared for it. Now this is coming from someone who has
always been accused of playing excruciatingly loud. I've seen plenty
of loud bands, too...but DD's show was the first one that I ever saw
where I was compelled to stick something in my ears. He wasn't just
loud, he was SHRILL. DD really IS louder than Mötörhead.
To be honest, he was a little more toned-down on his last tour. Saw
him at the same venue three times so the room itself isn't a factor.
Interestingly enough, DD doesn't wear any earplugs (the other two
guys do, though). He must be completely deaf by now.

See this post in context.
