Over 55 years ago, I was in rock (heavy metal) bands that played at big events. I sat right in front of 6ft tall Marshal amps playing the drums as loud as I could and I couldn't hear myself play. Since then, I have been to hundreds of concerts and when in the front row watching the Who or Aerosmith for example, my pant legs were flapping from the loud sound.
To me, it's not the loudness but the quality of the sound that wants me to leave. A lot of music these days over emphasizes the bass and it sounds like s*&t.
