Cmon.... A couple of seconds are a bit too much???

yeah the couple of seconds isn't really my complaint. it's those that camp out places with their music blaring. it's ridiculous. suppose my personal preference is to stand outside and play flamingo lips on my cornet at 11pm. don't get me wrong i don't know too many who don't think that's a catchy little tune but to be out in public at night or even in the day wailing on a musical instrument is absurdly rude. and that's essentially what you are doing when you turn your stereo up too obscene levels and chill or kick it with your homies or vaqueros or whatever. it's rude. there is no getting around it.

If the high music pours outside the pubs, no one minds... but outside a car... "ooo... i hate that"

if a ferrari roars by i'd probably still be a little annoyed. but then again i'm not really complaining about exhausts or engine noise. sometimes these things can't be helped. like harleys and such. it's just how some things are made. there's no volume button really. so i deal with it. but stereo noise isn't as unavoidable.

and a pub where people go specifically to hear music and hang out is way different than forcing everyone in the area to listen to your new nickelback cd. not even close to the same. no one minds because it's what pubs are supposed to do. just like no one minds when an emergency vehicle goes flying by sirens blaring. then again if i stuck a siren on my car and drove around town blasting it i suspect people would be annoyed.

Sometimes I just like it loud !! I'm sorry if it offends you. I work in a studio, I check my work in my car. My clients listen loud and they listen soft. I have to make sure what I do translates at all levels: 30db - 110db. Sometimes the music just "Cries" to be played loud and sometimes it's just wants to "whisper". If you don't like my level, close your windows or I'll be past you or the light will turn green in a few minutes. What a trivial thing to concern yourself with. I think you probably have better things you could be worrying about.

Have fun now It won't be long before you need hearing devices for anything below 85 db.(like me)

Did you know that if all of nickelback died that all wars in the world would end, and all of mankind would live in peace forever and all of eternity?

lol. i think pop music as a whole would probably have to disappear for this to happen. but getting rid of nickelback would be a good start.
