** Officially, at least, they were the last band to hold an actual Guinness World Record for ''loudest musical performance'' after a show in 1984. By the time they tried to submit their ''129.5dB'' show in Hanover in 1994, Guinness had retired the record, citing a lack of willingness to "promote hearing damage".
** They then ''broke'' their 1994 record at a ''soundcheck'' for the 2008 Magic Circle Fest, which measured a sound-pressure level of 139dB.
** Though, arguably, one could say that Manowar achieved true victory in ''any'' LoudnessWar back in the summer of 2005 when a show in Geiselwind managed to elicit a reading on '''the Richter Scale'''. No wonder they called the DVD ''The Day The Earth Shook''.
