Skydiving.
I have ~4500 jumps and jump planes are very loud. Even with a full face helmet, jump planes are very loud and I didn’t use ear plugs until my last 1000 jumps or so.
I do have a fair amount of time shooting, but always used ear protection.
Oh lord, don’t go and listen to AC/DC then.
Art is subjective, so there really are no wrong opinions, just disagreements. I strongly disagree with you, but that’s OK. Fist bump bro, because it’s different strokes that makes the world go round.
Now, if you say such things about RUSH… cracks knuckles. ;-)
