THE WHO WAREN VOR 45 JAHREN DIE LAUTESTE ROCKBAND DER WELT
- May 31, 2021
Am 31. Mai 1976 erspielten sich The Who im Charlton Athletic Stadion in London vor 75.000 Fans den Titel als lauteste Rockband der Welt - und erhielten einen Eintrag im Guinness-Buch der Rekorde: 30 Meter vor der Bühne (manche Quellen sprechen von 32 Metern) war noch ein Wert von 126 Dezibel gemessen worden. 1984 toppte die Heavy-Metal-Band Manowar diesen Wert bei einem Konzert in Hannover, wo sie 129,5 dB erreichten. Motörhead kassierten den Rekord allerdings schon im Dezember desselben Jahres mit 130 dB im Variety Theatre in Cleveland. Im Juli 2009 hätten Kiss mit 136 dB in Ottawa zu den neuen Weltrekordhaltern gekürt werden müssen, da war der Titel aus gesundheitlichen Gründen aber bereits abgeschafft.

Motörhead, however, already cashed in on the record in December of the same year with 130 dB at the Variety Theatre in Cleveland. In July 2009, Kiss should have been crowned the new world record holders with 136 dB in Ottawa, but by then the title had already been abolished for health reasons.
