Hard, soft

There was a time in my youth when Scorpions and Bon Jovi sounded like real rock bands. I mean you could headbang to their music. Years later, they both still rock, but it sounds a lot softer. Bad Medicine, Rock You Like A Hurricane, et al, could only move me to move my feet a bit and roll my head as memories came flooding back. Maybe your ears get attuned to a harder sound over the years – Metallica, G’n’R, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Chilli Peppers – that old rock sound softer. Another sign that I am growing old, I guess.
