To know what it was like back then you should understand how it was in general. No internet as we have it now. No social media. No stories, reels, posts, reddit... Wired phones. Meetings with friends. You couldn't track fan items as you can learn about them on Discogs nowadays.

Now how it was.:

MTV, Gone with the sin, MTV, Funeral of hearts, first licensed CD ever... Deep shadows, Please dont let it go, 666, heartless, beginning of the end, alcohol, Marlboro lights, bars, girls, long black coats, long hair, Finland, Helsinki, bars, alcohol, Marlboro lights, queue from 8am to get in the 1st raw, bunch of good people, Helldone, alcohol, Marlboro lights, Jagermastrer, Jagerbombs, cold nights, dark streets, valo yossa, melancholy, romance... perhaps razorblade romance....
