Cassettes

[Despare]

Does anybody still have and listen to cassettes? I know in film people still love their old VHS and there's always vinyl in the music world but does anybody still love their old cassette tapes?

Cassettes....What are they?....I only use high quality 8-track tapes.

I actually still have a couple of those....somewhere in my basement.

I have a bunch of cassettes but never listen to them.

I started picking up a few here and there again but haven't got a working player at the moment.

Ive still got a few old ones laying around. Cant honeslty say I still listen to them.

i'll make legit mix tapes for people and use cassettes instead of burning a CD or emailing them an itunes playlist haha. they get pissed when they can't put it on their ipod.

[urgeok2]

i have a ton of them still.

pre-recorded and mix tapes i made myself.

since i dont have a tape player in the car anymore - i rarely listen to them ..
but there are some mixed ones i'll play once in a blue moon on the home stereo.

i have some 8-tracks too but i dont have a player hooked up :)

I'm actually trying to find an old cheap tape player at the moment.

Because I'm travelling it's not realistic for me to by cd's and vinyl, not to much anyway as it just ends up being a worry in the post, especially with the vinyl.

but I find plenty of great albums on casset in op shops, so I nead a tape player.

Cassete was the first format I owned music on as a child of the 80's so I have an atachment to it...

I have a huge collection back home, especially of bootlegs I made in the 90's and demos of bands that don't exist anymore... they are classic. casset was a revolutionary era.

I used to have a ton of cassettes back in the day but now I've moved on to cd's and I dont even know where all my old cassettes are or even have a cassette player.

[bloody_ribcut]

I have the original Metallica "Kill 'Em All" album, I keep it put up though.

[Elvis_Christ]

I wore all my Metallica tapes out :D

[Dude Guadalupe]

I've never been a big Metallica fan, but I've been told the copies of Kill 'Em All that have Am I Evil? are pretty rare so I keep mine put away.

[Elvis_Christ]

Yeh? I had the Jump In The Fire/Creeping Death EP on tape that had Am I Evil? Thats pretty rare these days... it sells for retarded ammounts on vinyl.

I'm a huge Metallica fan, went off them for a bit but now I'm right back into them.
Hoping the new album will be killer.

[Dude Guadalupe]

I think after St. Anger they owe it to the fans to something amazing.

[The Mothman]

I still have a bunch of Stones and Van Halen cassettes from when i was really little. think i got a Judas Priest one too.
dont listen to them anymore though.
i used to record onto cassette off the radio a bunch though.

[Elvis_Christ]

^^ Judas Priest are killer!

I think after St. Anger they owe it to the fans to something amazing.

I started listening to that a month or so back I think its got some really good shit on it... a bunch of really dumb lyrics tho.
Its better than the piles of shit that were Load/Reload/S&M/Garage Inc. Apparently their going back to something like their old style and with Rick Rubin producing it'll hopefully be killer as fuck.
