I still have some Vinyl records and even a couple of 45s still.

Hopefully you still have the antique/obsolete equipment to play them.

I like some Classical music too even though the people that wrote it
are dead, I guess that makes it obsolete.

Classical music isn't obsolete. But the technology used to store it
can be obsolete (such as wire spool recording) or modern (such as
computer mp3 files).

So what's with these Heavy Metal bands where they
are still using a Tube guitar amp...

*Tube* guitar amps are supposed to sound better. Hard for me to tell
with all that intentional distortion they introduce into the music.

My old *tube* receivers still work fine even though they're antiques
(and quite obsolete). But in serious QRM/QRN I have to switch to my
modern rig with the receiver digital processing if I want to complete
the QSO.

We who know better - That Morse Code is useless.

CW is *not* useless. It's fun. It's all I ever use these days.
Unfortunately the phone bands are often R rated so I left there years
ago. CW is still a gentlemans band and great place to enjoy the CW
*hobby*...
