I bet I wasn't even a phantasy in my parents heads when they made me <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>...of course I don't know the real truth, but I've kinda suspected it since my dad refused to tell me by briefly saying; "none of your god damn business!!"...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I became a fan only in 1999 but i knew the big hits for years.... i grew up with these songs <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I remember one day, a few years ago, i was walking in the street and i just couldn stop singing SLAM..... I had no idea where i knew the song from but i couldnt stop singing it...
So actually i knew AV for years but i didnt know that it was THEM - my sweet Marian and Bernie..... <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>

"the Child of the new Season"

I first heard Alphaville when I got a single in a bunch of other singles (can't name one of any of the others) around mid december of 1984. I was in the habit of buying a couple of new release singles of people I never heard (I was doing DJ work while I was in the Navy) and I picked up Big in Japan....( i had spent 6 months previously in Japan, and having been born there (My parents were from Kentucky and Illinois) I thought I'd waste a buck and a half. It wasn't a waste.
I'd say I've spent most of my music purchasing life listening to AV. and i have worn out several copies of several albums. Not to mention going to CD's etc.
I've bought
Forever Young at least 4 times
Afternoons in Utopia 3 times
The breathtaking Blue twice
Prostitute twice
United once
Dreamscapes once
Salvation once
Stark Naked and absolutely (GODDAMN!) Live once
several singles once
and 2 shows worth of tickets
and the DVD.

I don't have a couple of the cd's, but I would love to find so long celeste available conveniently.

I heard Alphaville about 3 months after I heard another favorite, Stevie Ray Vaughan. I got to see him perform a month after first hearing him. Alphaville... well that took 15 Years!!!!!!!

S.M.I2.L.E! It makes people wonder what you're up to.

Well, I've been a fan since '84... the story goes something like this: One evenin my friend and i where doing something ( don't remember what ) and the radio was on... And i recorded some songs. Later in the evening i listened the tape and discovered BIJ...

I´ve been a fan since 94-95 I think... when I heard Forever Young for the first time. I guess I had heard it many times before, but without thinking about what I heard.

Hardin, yes that´s really fun! :) and I agree with you.... "to Hudik with love" <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I first heard AV in 87 - Forever Young onthe radio of course.... and I really liked them, but it took another 10 years for me to develop into a HUGE fan!!!!
