K-DST

"If the police can't stop you *sounds of gunshots and police sirens* you must be on «The Dust»"

"This is a plaid shirt free zone. We're rockstars, people. Not lumberjacks" - Smith

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.

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

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
