The 90s please!!!

[@101jir]

Gotta be honest, culturally I definitely see the 90s as a cultural golden age, but as a gamer videogames just keep getting more and more exciting. Even something like War Thunder, for its many flaws, is something I could only fantasize about as a child. And that's before we even account for upcoming games like Ultimate Admiral, Dreadnoughts, or other available games that are already pretty fun and have so much exciting stuff coming down the pike, like like Uboat. The 90s have plenty of games that have stood the test of time, but there just wasn't the processing power for some of the incredible stuff out now, nor was a fast enough internet connection widely available for online multiplayer (although I missed out on the LAN scene, that must have been fun)

It was called CD+G and you could access it on certain PCs, game systems, and Laserdisc players. I watched it on my TurboGraphx CD... before Sega released theirs!

I swear to God this generation missed out big back when music videos were an essential part of the music. It truly was a magical time back in the 80s and early 90s. Not only did you have great music but you also had great expression by the very artist that made the music. I'm really thankful that KZbin exist because these music videos will never be lost somebody has them on digital and will upload them even if they're taken down by copyrights someone will re-upload them somewhere the music videos will never die it's 2020 and I'm still watching this video that I saw back in the late 80s there's something to that music is alive and it is truly immortal.

[@seanfaustina8107]

So lucky I got to see them perform at the ROXY in Hollywood! Drove from Riverside and had the best time. Their sound was tight. Best thing was that it was a very intimate venue. They really engaged with us. I love that Leonard Nimoy said the "Pure Energy" part.

[@bicyclist2]

I'm old enough to remember when this song was new. I had this album on cassette tape, and listened to it on my Sony walkman and Boom box. I used to lip sync to this.

This totally brings back memories of growing up in South Florida, cruising A1A boulevard and hanging out booming our car audio systems. This first time I heard this song was 1989 in a Iroc Z28 on tape with 2 Rockford Fosgate 15's and a massive Earthquake amp. The whole car was shaking and I loved it. From that moment on it hooked me on Techno and Bass. To this day its had a huge influence on me and my career. This by far is my favorite song in the world. Thanks for making this music and having this as an uploaded music video!

[@cherrycherub3]

aw love that. I'm from south fl and even though I was born in the mid 90's I have an appreciation for this kind of sound. your comment painted a nice picture in my head of a place I know well but didn't know during the 80's. best to you!

My cousin had his pickup truck loaded with four 15" Cerwin Vegas in a custom-built enclosure. It would rattle my teeth. He also had a roof-mounted cassette player that would slide out a tray for the cassette to go in, then slide it back in, with an additional equalizer mounted on the roof. My car, by contrast, got the super duper dual 6x9 Jensens... haha... Good times. Thanks for your story!

Just an absolutely genius subtle touch to throw in. -- or get Lower Decks to pay homage to this song.
