Completely agree. I now have tinnitus, which sucks but am very careful to wear a pair to prevent any further damage. If you're reading this thinking you don't need/want to wear a pair, please do. Tinnitus really isn't fun.
This is the pair I use. Very cheap and very good. You can barely notice them when they're in your ears, they're actually pretty hard to spot - this was the only thing stopping me wearing them before I invested in a pair. I thought they would make me look 'uncool'.
I don't use earplugs when practising (I admittedly use a digital so it's probably a bit of a moot point). However, I do use earplugs if I am gigging with other musicians or going to a gig that I know is going to be loud.
The earplugs that I use are designed have a relatively flat frequency response so it's like turning the volume down on the world (most others, e.g. the foam ones, massively affect the sound of music by attenuating some frequencies more than others).
For reference, the ones I use are Alpine MusicSafe Pros but I would do your own research on which are best - the market could have changed since I bought my set.
As an aside, I actually prefer going to gigs with them in now. You can still feel the bass through your body (advantage of it being loud) but everything that you hear is at a much more comfortable volume to listen to. Coupled with the fact that your ears don't ring afterwards, it's win-win!
YES EAR PROTECTION!!!!@!#@#!@#!

They don't distort the sound, they just lower the volume.
Das 2. trichtere ich jedem ein, seit ich meinen Tinnitus habe. Einen solchen wirst du von ein mal zu laute Musik hören wohl nicht direkt bekommen, aber aller-aller-spätestens wenn du regelmäßig auf Partys gehen wirst, nutze einen Gehörschutz! Bei mir war es übrigens tatsächlich eine Abiparty nach der ich einen chronischen Tinnitus bekommen habe. Wiederverwendbare In-Ear-Lösungen kosten ca. 10 bis 20€, sind in der Regel kaum sichtbar, machen dass die Musik in überlauten Discos besser klingt und schützen deine Ohren zuverlässig.
Edit: Ein Beispiel für Gehörschutz
I recommend these in the strongest possible terms. The light protection is enough for most live band nights and still lets you have a normal conversation. (I play brass and I can play with the light cores installed.) I have two sets because I lost one.

I've used these ones from Amazon for multiple events and they are good, no ringing in ears the morning after

Definitely, for years I had the Etymotic pair I put below and had zero complaints about them. Recently I switched to the pair of Alpines I put below based off of a lot of positive recommendations and while the sound quality is definitely superior they are a bit hard to get in your ear. Your other option is to just buy the cheap one time use ones you can get in multipacks from CVS or any other drug store which might be a good place to start if you've never used them before. Hope this helps!

Lastly, leave the beer at home. It's fucking heavy to bring, it will get warm and it will just fucking suck. Buy the beers at the festival places, they even lowered the prices this year.
Every time I go for a night out.
Hurray!
Make sure to take a proper set of ear plugs, or the cheaper Etymotic ones. They're life savers at concerts and clubs when you're up front.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000VO8PR0 I use these, adjustable depending on what you are doing and key chain for easy access.
I use earplugs both for playing at home and when attending concerts/movies/loud events.
The plugs I got are from Alpine, the MusicSafe Pro. There are others like Etymotic, Eargasm, and others, but what I liked about the MusicSafe is that it comes with three different filters, so three noise reduction levels.
At home I when practicing either the electric guitar or the violin I use the white filter. When playing with a band at home I use the silver filter. When I go to a concert or loud event, I go for the gold one.
They are very soft and get molded to your ears after a few minutes, as they get more malleable as they heat. So it gets more comfortable after a while.
The sound fidelity is very good, and I can easily keep my intonation right (which was impossible with regular, flat filtering plugs). My wife also has her set, and we can chat easily wearing the earplugs because of the way the attenuation works.
I've had mine for almost 10 years now, same set, so I can attest they are durable. Relatively cheap investment for your health and peace of mind.

I'm so gutted to hear that. I'm pretty sure Army ID is a perfectly valid form of proof of age. Done some bar work at a number of festivals and I've always been told to accept any form of military identification. Bouncers there are absolute cunts, a friend of a friend wasn't let in because he smelled of weed... he didn't have any on him, he just had a spliff before entering the club.
That's a shame about the earplugs, I'm pretty sure one of the RC1 guys was handing them out over by the front right stack at some point in the night.
Also I highly recommend investing in a pair of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000VO8PR0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478532871&sr=8-1&pi=SL75&keywords=alpine+musicsafe+pro
They will change your life... They're far better than the cheap foam ones you get.
Another option would be these which I keep in my gig bag for events, they aren't a perfectly flat response but they get the job done for me (I do lighting so don't need 100% accurate hearing).
I use these while playing bass in my band & at gigs, they've served me well.
Thanks for all the recommendations guys... I just bought a set of the Alpine MusicSafe Pros... I've going to 2 breakcore gigs in 2 days soon :D
Well, i have always wanted to try these ones, they have interchangeable filters if need be anyway (I'm a musician myself). I can't try them tho, cause it's hard to reach amazon stuff from my country.
Alpine Hearing Protection MusicSafe PRO Earplugs
They are 29.99 btw.

If you're literally just going to a concert getting a moulded pair is probably a bit of a pricey way to do it.
What you need really is attenuating earplugs, you can pick a reasonable pair up for about £20. I run sound systems at raves, which often means getting a bit more up close and personal with a sound system blasting sound than most, and I use the alpine music safe ones, I don't have moulded ones due to the cost, and the fact I know I'll lose them.

My friend has the elacin moulded attenuating ear plugs, which he says are great, but I think they were nearly £200.
Fun fact: Places with live music are supposed to provide foam ear plugs behind the bar on request (I think its even a legal requirement), very few actually do.
The problem with foam/wax ones is that they're really designed to muffle sound so you can't hear it at all, this will make a concert sound rubbish, particularly if its a band....... its not so bad for rave events, because a lot of what people feel there is from the sound, but also the bass pressure from subs, but this doesn't really apply to band music so much. An attenuating earplug will reduce sound, but won't cut anywhere near as much of the sound frequencies out as a foam or wax earplug will.
I use both of these together for indoor shooting and am happy for the price point.

Together they give me the right amount of reduction but allowing clear hearing as the electronic system in the Leights amplifies the sound and the somewhat flat response of the Alpine plugs keeps everything still sounding right.

It's simple. Do you want to be able to enjoy their music a bit longer? Get earplugs!
If you don't want to spend too much, get what are normally called 'Christmas Tree' earplugs. They will hold down the sound level without filtering frequencies too much. You'll get them in most music stores. Just be prepared to lose them alone. I usually go with these:

They work great for me and I'm at a show (sometimes two) most nights of the week at work. No complaints from me.
Do you know anything about Alpine Music Safe Pro
I'm considerin to try them
I've got ER20s - They are the shit
I take mine with me everywhere. - I'm a drummer and wear them during practice and to any concerts.
The only thing they are no good for is motorcycling, you still get a bit of wind-roar. I use foam ones for biking.
The only other downside to these earplugs are that if you're trying to have a conversation in a loud bar or club with someone not wearing any... you will get frustrated and end up buying them some.
BUY SEVERAL PAIRS - GIVE THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS!
I also have a pair of Alpine Musicsafe earplugs which are good but not as convenient as the Etymotic ones)
