The Time Before Bieber

Far back in history real music was made. For your youngsters these music was made with things we called musical instruments. Musicians learned themselves to play these musical instruments and then formed what we called bands. These bands then went to what we called then studios and laid down their tracks on cassette. From this cassettes they would cut a vinyl record that we called a long player or LP not vinyls like you young morons call it. These long players was played on turntables and no we didnt scratch our LPS like some kind of numbnut. No you lifted the arm up and put it down on the track that you wanted to play. At first it would make grrr grrr and throughout the song clip clip . If your LP became too scratched you would take two pieces of glass and put your lp between them and cook it for a few seconds in your oven 😃. I cant remember how successful that was but ok.

Also you got cassettes you needed to rewind of fast forward to the song you liked. I had a Telefunken tape deck that fast forwarded at double the speed when you hold in one of its buttons. Also buying music if you lived in a small town required a lot of planning and screaming at incompetent shop assistants that took ages to send your LP to you. The best at that time was Hillbrow Records that since has become a criminal suburb but please visit it so we can write your Rest in pieces. This was my first LP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_IV not so good but anyway. There was no big time producers that hooked young talentless nobodies upped with good songwriters that wrote popsy schmaltz.

People got drunk on this music and planted the seeds that became little youz. So please listen to the music of your birth.

lol nice. though im more into punk rock, i still dislike how the tradition guitar/bass/drum/vocalist may be extinct in the next few decades

the whole sex pistols story was kinda depressing to me.but the selection is more random than you think and one does not need to stick to one genre. for example london calling - the clash will fit in here as well

Those were times.....when music ment something.....unlike today where it's used to make money on barinwashed morons some people calls fans....

Sweet Drinker Day 2,146, 19:24

That's a lot of pre-unmasked KISS

Sweet Drinker Day 2,146, 19:25

But where's the Dio?

Releasethe Krakken Day 2,147, 12:07

no it was a conceptional movie that never aired the elder read up on it on wikipedia. its not true kiss but i dont really like their other stuff.

Releasethe Krakken Day 2,147, 12:08

dio was eighties this is still part of the hippie movement or 60's music.

Sweet Drinker Day 2,147, 18:22

Oh, I did not know that. KISS did have a movie though. It was terribad!
Gene Simmons also played the villian in another movie, he had acid spitting robot spiders, lol.

Dio isn't 80's...
DIO IS ETERNAL!!!
Dio invented the borg, how badass is that? Always wondered if Star Trek payed him royalties for that $hit

Runaway with Tom Selleck.

Krakken I agree with you 100 %. Even down to the song choices.

You didn't go back to 8 track but that is OK. That would be too much for the young music "fans" to fathom. It is hard to describe what a cassette is to many of them.

Releasethe Krakken Day 2,148, 03:31

yes 8 track was never on my buying list. we had singles which usually was a small disc with the hit and a minor hit and a different version of the hit and then perhaps another song. actually i never understood why cassettes fell out of favor their musical quality was better than cd's and on a long road who wants to skip tracks that being said in my car i have a usb/sd radio with a aux connection for other stuff. i find rock to be better driving music than pop which one get bored with quickly .
