Early 80s Garage Band Essentials

Описание: *Top 10 things a Gen X garage band needed to get off the ground (1980–1985)* — amps, guitars, pedals, drums, PA, demo tapes, vans, and the one thing that mattered more than school.

This video is a *focused cut from the first half* of a full *Free Will Burning* podcast episode. Here, brothers *Steve Patterson and Troy* run straight through the *Top 10 essentials* every early-80s garage band needed to become a real heavy metal band — fast, visual, and to the point.

No nostalgia gloss. No theory. Just the real infrastructure:
space nobody cared about, loud indestructible gear, abused drum kits, Frankenstein PA systems, cassette demos, and the belief that the band mattered more than school.
