Imagine a gang of young men fracturing a bone just to call an ambulance, then months later inviting you to a party where the xray film of your break plays to make up for the trauma... Would make a surreal movie to watch
There was no ban on rock music at all. Bringing vinyl records from abroad wasn't prohibited either. It's just the fact that the Soviet government didn't want to spend money on buying licenses. Everyone who wanted to have a collection of rock music could do that relatively easy: buy a magnetic tape recorder and a turntable, and become a member of an informal "exchange club" where you borrow a vinyl record for a day/night and make a copy for yourself on magnetic tape.
There were though. There’s a reason why in a lot of the former Eastern bloc more than 50% miss communist times. And you are also forgetting the inspiration that the USSR provided to third world nations, post colonial movements, and developing socialist countries. We in the developed West have trouble truly understanding how ground breaking the USSR is.
Great video, great story but you could use footage from USSR not from Yugoslavia, you got Yugoslavian flag in every shot that supposed to be from Russia.
Unfun fact: When the Soviet government caught wind of these bootleg records, they try to flood the market with their own X-Ray records, with their message cutting off near the end of the song with a dissing message, kinda like "Oh, you wanna listen to Western music?! Well, f&&k you!!"
@@РусланЗаурбеков-з6е Okay, the fake bone records didn't say ""Oh, you wanna listen to Western music?! Well, f&&k you!!"... They would actually post this message near the abrupt start of the song: "You want rock and roll? F*** you, you anti-Soviet slime!". In 1958, the government set up "music patrols" to keep an eye out for illegal distributors and had sentenced 10 of the ringleaders behind those bone records to prison work camps as punishment.
@Empire Entertainment I wouldn't call "many great things" unbiased, that sounds a bit too positive. Also, fuck off with your "you Yanks wouldn't understand" bullshit, you live in a country that's politically in shambles, way worse than what we have here.
It’s all a matter of preference for people. There are people who hated the union with everything they had and would do anything to escape it, and there are also people who miss the days of the Soviet Union. All depends on what the person values most in life
Fun fact: for a while music recorded on those XRay sheets was called 'bone boogie' regardless of the actual genre :D
Imagine going to the black market saying, “I want some bone boogie”
@@luiluilui9638 ya want me to boogie you're what?
There's a great book called "X-Ray Audio: The Strange Story of Soviet Music on the Bone" that I highly recommend if you want to learn more.
Can you share a pdf here dawg!!
Imagine bogeying down to grandmas broken hip
My grandpa actually has one of those! He really liked radio and tech
I'm amazed i'm so late to finding this channel, it is absolute solid gold.

I think that was very dangerous to listen to in the Soviet Union without a headphone.
So this is the hardbass before hardbass
It was in almost every soviet family. People listened the Beatles and other forbidden music like rock.
It was such a great time!
b_dope very interesting, but at the end you said "it was such a great time!" Made me laugh very hard, yes indeed it was a great time

Necessity is mother of a invention.
some people just think of the weirdest, most ingenious stuff man
That soviet music got me into our bones.
"many great things about the Soviet Union"
And many more worse parts of it

BatJJ 9088 it was a large-scale prison.
BatJJ 9088 lol. Nice satire.
I like the Soviet Union because I’m suicidal and in Soviet Russia communism kills you

As a medical student, this is so damn cool.
Imagine listening to Boney M.'s 'Rasputin' recorded in this format.
As someone who's learning Russian, Я надеюсь, что я могу переехать в Россию сам, так что я могу изучать о его истории. Отличное видео.
Ох, не надо, мужик, мы сейчас в огромной заднице.
How many of those exist?
Great video, great story but you could use footage from USSR not from Yugoslavia, you got Yugoslavian flag in every shot that supposed to be from Russia.
Was this the inspiration for pretty hate machines cover?
I bet they listened to Elvis on a pelvis! 😂
Didnt know this existed. Woah.
Ribs? Playing music? HAH! I find that quite humerus.

Evidence?
Or it didn't happen.
More like unfun fantasy.

Metal AF

A guy goes "Psst, want some of the good stuff?" pulls out a godamn Xray record. Kinda funny tho.
Sentimental value :)
When he moves the arm by hand instead of using the lift lever
> There were many great things about the Soviet Union
Uhhh... sure... sure thing...
@Empire Entertainment I think the negatives of millions of deaths out weigh the positives, the few they had.

Anyone doing an illegal deal isn't going to take 10 coins lol... Unless they're a good plug and know that money is Money!
Not been to Russia then eh?
Records like in music)
Yup, the "records on the bones"
Опа, пластинки на костях
You can fold this one, and it still plays... perfect for small mailboxes!
"WAS"
Breaking the record….
Illegal music? Why didn't you just tell the more common story of copying your favorite songs... That's the main reason for using this technique
No body chants and dances on miseries like the Soviet do~ i love them.
Bootlegging music is a universal activity of the youth. Techmoan has some videos that has this fun fact ...
*Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnvkh*
Zeytrixx jeez just use cyrillic
*The soviet state censored foreign entertainment* Laughs in Russian while watching Louis de Funès

Neat
"Many great thing about soviet union"
Ya and also the 10 million people that died too
Russian ppl r creative in many ways
@@el.k9776 yes russians are. but dont say its from soviet russia. soviet union to nothing for their people
Nevir202 israel is like the start of the nazi state rn with zionist policy
99 percent invisible did it first
Seems legit
Underground Soviet bootleg records must cost an arm and a leg, or at the very least an x-ray of an arm and a leg
Wonder if this is what sans recorded on. It is BONE music
This doesnt explain anything
Well people dont realize the impact music can have on human BRAIN.
:o-
Whoa
It would be nice if you let us listen to it aswell next time.. i kept on waiting for jack shit.
Many great things about the Soviet Union... hum.
I’m finding it hard to find people who fled to eastern Germany or fled to Russia during the Cold War.
