Keeping your Keys is Important on Steemit and on any other Crypto / Blockchain community
I was just planning to start my Dance Weekend but given the still existing criminals that try to scam good users here and the fact not everyone is aware how important it is to store your keys in a safe place (feel free to check my earlier post today on the topic) I am now first talking about Keys in an entertainment way as I see fit to my Rock Classics series. In 1987 a German Heavy Metal Band called "Helloween" - not a typo - has published an album which could be part of the Steemit education - how to use your account and to handle your private / public keys - as it is also the title song it could be another of these official Steemit Anthems - agreed!? Alright I know this a bit too much for some linking a discussion on private keys in the blockchain world with Rock Music - but if only one Steemian gets reminded on how important it is to protect their Keys while listening to the music here it was already worth the post. This is also a submission for the rocking MetalWeekend by - so we can rock and dance over the weekend.
About the Band Helloween
Helloween was founded 1984 in Hamburg (This is in the North of Germany) and still exists, officially called a power metal band I consider them as Hard Rock simply. I have to admit I only followed them closely from the start until the endow the 1980ies - shame on me! In total they have releases 15 studio albums, three live albums and sold around 8 million records worldwide.
Back to the story about the album(s) - also a mystery
So, how to start - the album "Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I" was the second studio album by the band and is considered to be responsible for the start of a genre called"European-style power metal". The title song is an epic piece of Rock and the first single compilation called "Future World" is a fantastic track I still like to listen. You may ask what happened to part two of the album? Long story - but to keep it short. The original plans was to issue "Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I and Part II" as a double album, but the record label refused it and wanted to release them separately - did not happen fast so it took 23 year(!) until both albums were released together with bonus tracks - what a story.
I hope you liked the music, the story behind and the idea of the Steemit Anthem - Are you the Keeper of Your Steemit Keys?
Let me know your thoughts on all points above or if you want to be out and check some of the additional songs of the band.
