Do the math

"What is this, scare stories? On stage, we pushed bass levels of approximately 130dB."

The sound intensity experienced was 24,000 times the acceptable maximum long term exposure OSHA established a long time ago to prevent hearing damage and loss in industrial environments. Do you think with every corporation in America having an army of lawyers ready, willing, and able to fight the government to escape the cost of compliance, OSHA just pulled its number out of thin air? You can dismiss the damage you assisted in inflicting on yourself and others decades ago but no matter how you feel about it, it won't bring anyone's hearing back to what it otherwise would have been. Anyone exposed unprotected to such sound intensity should be grateful just to be able to still hear anything at all.
