||
| + | K-DST has the identity of a classic rock station that has been airing its music ''"successfully for 22 years"'' according to one of the radio stingers, suggesting it was first broadcast in 1970. As such, there are somewhat nostalgic comments in the radio stingers, such as ''"music never gets old, just a little *cough* dusty"'' and mentions to ''"buddies from the '70s [who have] gone to rehab"''. The stingers also mock the current music trends of the time, such as grunge and Gangsta rap. |
||
| + | "The Dust", the station's nickname, is a reference to the drug phencyclidine, commonly known as ''"angel dust"''. As such, the station's stingers take a new meaning when taking into account the references to the drug, like the obliviousness to pain (''"if the police can't stop you *sounds of gunshots and police sirens* you must be on «the dust»"''). |

— GTA San Andreas Website
K-DST ("The Dust") is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is hosted by Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith (voiced by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose) and plays classic rock.
Description
K-DST has the identity of a classic rock station that has been airing its music "successfully for 22 years" according to one of the radio stingers, suggesting it was first broadcast in 1970. As such, there are somewhat nostalgic comments in the radio stingers, such as "music never gets old, just a little *cough* dusty" and mentions to "buddies from the '70s [who have] gone to rehab". The stingers also mock the current music trends of the time, such as grunge and Gangsta rap.
"The Dust", the station's nickname, is a reference to the drug phencyclidine, commonly known as "angel dust". As such, the station's stingers take a new meaning when taking into account the references to the drug, like the obliviousness to pain ("if the police can't stop you *sounds of gunshots and police sirens* you must be on «the dust»").
The station appears to have a gonzo sense of humor, as evident in several jingles; When all your buddies from the 70s have gone to rehab, we strongly encourage you to stay on; The Dust, and in some of Smith's lines of dialogue, such as "You can cry about the miscarriage or keep drinking, rock on." and "For those of you coming to consciousness in a strange bed next to an ugly chick with beer cans and underwear across the floor, run the hell out and get to the clinic" or even "It's not every day you hear that record-- wait, yes it is. I love it.", the latter being an apparent reference to the ever-looping songs of the in-game radios.
K-DST's host, Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith, is a washed-up former member of the fictional 1970s progressive rock act Crystal Ship. He holds misogynistic views and thinks highly of himself and his music. He frequently gets lost in random musings when he voices his opinions. Three callers call into the station, and all of them criticise Smith for his DJ skills ("No-one understands what the hell you're saying"), and his seemingly underwhelming music career ("My God you were crap, you really sucked"), causing Smith to angrily insult them.
