And the fact that his "brother" was a fat jobber they stuck a mask on and went "you be tall demon guy" who they then rando'ed mask on, mask off and created story line after story line about the two.
and maybe this will kindle their love for music as it did mine.
As a kid that played like one wrestling game back in like 2003. Him and triple H I think? Are like the only two guys I remember. Amazed he’s still going!
We had a record player that used to be what our TV sat on back in the 80's, only had like maybe 50 LP's, the fam got me Michael Jacksons Thriller then promptly updated the stand so we didn't have a player any more in the 90's. Only within the last maybe 2 years, the old man got a vinyl player again and we managed to hook up a soundbar to it.Hipster blather alert!
I recently renovated my living room which gave me the occasion to install the portable record player I picked up in Tokyo years ago, it had been sitting in a cupboard for 10 years being unused.
There's something about listening to music on vinyl, not just the sound, but the process. It's like a Japanese tea ceremony. Looking at the various covers - not 5cm² thumbnails on a screen but a big 30cm x 30cm perfect square of colour printed cardboard - like art in a gallery and selecting one, taking the shiny black disc out and putting it on the platter. Putting the needle carefully on the record. Standing or sitting in front of the speakers with that foot square cardboard cover in your hand, looking at the pictures or reading the lyrics. Takes me back to when I first fell in love with music.
Seriously, why do people make records and NOT include lyrics on the cover? For CDs I can kind of understand, but LPs - it's just mean. Weren't these people ever music lovers? A lot of modern records are made in much higher quality than they used to be, for a smaller but more discerning audience. They make the records heavier, they usually have double gatefold style covers and yet they STILL don't have have lyrics included! Bizarre and frustrating.
I'm definitely no audio snob: I listen to MP3s all through the day, have a + 300gb collection of music that I've downloaded and up till recently used to listen to on Google Music (until they stopped the service) in the car or at work or at home or wherever, but the convenience of listening to MP3s doesn't include the magic of discovering music like I did as a young boy. Looking at the various freaky pictures in my mum and dad's record collection and wondering what each record sounded like.
I'm a record collector, have been since I was a kid.
Back then I was just buying music, CDs didn't exist. When CDs came out, I didn't have enough money to buy a player. Eventually I had a few LPs and no CDs so I never bothered buying a CD player, and because I didn't have a player, I didn't buy any CDs. So I just kept on buying records.
By the time I left Australia in 2003 I had over 1000 records, probably over half worthless to others but meaningful to me. I shoved them in storage because I thought I'd only be gone a few years and honestly I didn't have anywhere else to put them. They're still there 17 years later, and it's costing me shitloads to keep them there.
If I had the time and money, I'd go back to Australia for a couple of weeks to sort out, get rid of the useless ones and ship the others back to France with all the other stuff in that storage space. Don't really know what the best shipping options out there are, they all look really expensive.
And now I'm building up a little collection in France again, not wasting nearly as much time as I used to in record shops but if I see something along the way, I pick it up. I get a little buzz if my kids show interest in my records like I used to all those years ago, try to be patient as they drag the needle across the vinyland maybe this will Kindle their love for music as it did mine.
So much this
im amazed as well.... hell i remember him when i was a kid and i loved that stuff back in the early 90's
I was being serious the other random thread was doing my head in

Have every AC-DC album in vinyl twice (Bon Scott)
Irregardless is not actually a word.
It was awesome 20+ years ago, I'm not ashamed to say I still love The Undertakers gimmick and his entrance to the ring has always been one that I enjoy. When I was a kid I thought it was sooo awesome that he came from a place called "Death Valley"
There is no AC/DC after Bon
I just don't get how the current acdc singer Brian thingo can call himself a singer. He's always sounded like an old campaigner trying to sh*t out a watermelon. I like the tunes and I guess I'm used to his voice now but he's no Bon.
Here's one for you:
Looks older than he actually is ie younger than you’d expect
Has The Undertaker done something recently? I saw this post earlier and I had a look on Youtube and saw he was in the latest Hot Ones episode:
