a teenage boy's perspective on vintage synthesizers

[Alex E]

lol, look at the original post

at least he's enthusiastic.

"Oberheim OB-8. BIG PHAT Vintage synth. Close to the synth Van Halen Used for Jump, 1984, I'll Wait, and others! ($2,500 )"

Haha, oh man. He must really like the date 1984, it's all over his red keyboard.

This was my favorite:

The ALESIS ION. Virtual Analog Synth, like the good 'ole vintage stuff. AND a Vocoder. $500-$600

I didn't know 2003 was vintage.

I don't care what he says about the synths, I only have a problem with the fact that he thinks Van Halen is still cool

Van halen are amazing okay?

[Hybrid88]

Sure, I guess someone has to like that kind of thing - just I couldn't imagine why...

Nah, I shouldn't really judge other peoples tastes I suppose.

[Harp3]

Not too keen on Halen myself.



Although I get a pretty big kick out of this-----

Silence, wobble-bass boy.

[themilford]

Van Halen rules.... ESPECIALLY the synth stuff.

[Hybrid88]

Looks like we need ourselves a vote

I give the kid some credit.. considering what he could be listening to, old VH is not too bad at all.

And look, the synths he likes actually have keys, which means he PLAYS them vs. just knob-tweaking beat machines that only do make "r2-d2" noises.

Meh could be worse, saw an add a few days ago for an Ensoniq SQ 1+ which -according to the seller- was also used in Van Halen's "Jump"

Those costom paint jobs are pretty decent actually...

[sequentialsoftshock]

I remember when this kid joined the VSE. He used to be kind of involved here too. I'm pretty sure this is old news and he already got some s**t not behind his back.

Van Halen, yes. Van Hagar, no.

[Automatic Gainsay]

I like pre-Hagar Van Halen. I mean... s**t, I should look up the albums. I like 70s Van Halen, I guess. I mean... Dave TV was bullshit. Hot for Teacher? Come on... seriously.
