That store always seems to have a great vibe.👍🏼
The worst thing for me as a music fan is that the CD sections in the stores are getting smaller and smaller. It was so much fun to browse the shelves for cheap CDs and new releases. Buying albums online is not the same. I also hate it when bonus tracks are included on re-releases. For me, it destroys the integrity and the artistic statement of an album. There's a reason why the bonus tracks didn't end up on the original album. You can usually hear that. I prefer the bonus tracks to be on a separate CD.
1. Yes, its almost scary that everything is digitilised now. It almost put musicians out of business and makes us all far too dependent on the net, even for ordering CDS. Remember the phrase: "you'll be happy & own nothing"!
2. I HATE BONUS TRACKS on esp. (classical) albums. Even more so, if they are interspersed and not the last song(s).
Even worse are demo tracks posing as bonus tracks, I mean hello, demo tracks were never supposed to be released in the 1st place; its a cheap way for Labels to make extra bucks by enticing fans with so-called bonus tracks that are Demos or rehearsal tracks!
Definitely Metal Brother, I hate demo bonus tracks in general. Who needs a half or quarter finished song that's in its raw form. However, there are exceptions to the rule; I wouldn't mind legendary Demos (entire Demos) like "Power in Black" by Overkill, or "Death by Metal" by Death , or "No Life till Leather" by Metallica, as bonus tracks! But what's really annoying are bonus tracks thrown into esp. Classical Albums, for example, a version of the Iron Maiden classic album "Killers" has a song titled "Twilight Zone" as number 10 on it, while the last song is Drifter, on the original album "Twilight Zone" doesn't exist on the original CD. If the makers of the Remastered CD had at least put Twilight Zone on it as the last song it wouldn't have been as bad, but putting it as the 2nd last song really Ruins the atmosphere of the whole classic album.
The same happened to The Number of the Beast, where "Total Eclipse" appears as song number 8, while it doesn't at all apear on the original album, worst of all is that it thus appears before the classic Song Hallowed be Thy Name"; this totally ruins the atmosphere of this classical album. The makers of these Iron Maiden classics should have simple followed the style of the 1st Remastered Judas Priest albums released in 2001, where none of the bonus tracks where put into the albums, instead they were all added after the last song of thost classic Priest CDs.
For me is I'm a completist. If I like a band, I have to have everything they've ever put out. If not, it eats at me.
I know that feeling all too well!
Boots as well as official?
The worst thing is all the mainstream followers! They don’t love music, they just want to hear what’s “in” so they can stay socially relevant with “friends”!
The second worst thing is the people who want to trash music without ever giving it a chance! You know how many love to trash metal & they never actually listened to it! We have a record store owner who does that & it actually hurts his business! When you limit to a certain demographic, you keep your business at its minimal performance! I told him there is good metal & bad metal, just like their is good 60’s rock & garbage 60’s music! He refuses to be open minded!
Great vid. The worst part for me is that I don't know that many people that are i to the same music I'm into. I mostly listen to metal and hard rock, while everyone I know likes pop music.
Same here but why bother: just go to some Metal/Hard, Rock Concerts, or Gig, there you'll find like minded Metal brothers!
And remember there've been Studies for years now that assert that Metalheads are the happiest music lovers, so Bang you head while finding Metal bros that you can talk to at any Metal event, as there's nothing like finding like minded Metalheads since Metal music lovers don't discriminate about ones socio-economic status.
I've found great friends at Metal concerts, and we know that they're honest down to earth people.
NOW HEAR THIS in St. Louis Missouri used to have the greatest IMPORT CD and CD single wall in the 1990s.
Brendon - I fully expect to see that copy of ‘Too Fast For Love’ in this Wednesday’s video about all the music you bought. Don’t let us down!
Right?!
Haha…check back today at 12 noon EST for an update 🤘
@@BrendonSnyder Dom Dom Dom.... Music News! Brandon Did or Didn't Buy that ALBUM! News Live at Noon!
Haha…it’s coming!
I have accepted the face that I will never own everything I want. What gets me is not having enough money and the ones that gets away. A few years ago a buddy had a Greg X Volz LP The River is Rising (One of the lead singers of the Christian Rock/Hard Rock Band Petra back in the late 70s and 80s). I was going to get it and found out that he gave it to someone else.
Man f*** what other people think. When I was 10 years old my cousin was watching some videos he recorded on an old VHS and God damn if the breaking All the rules video didn't come on and I instantly became an Ozzy/Zakk Wylde fan from that moment on and that was probably 93-94 and have been an 80s music fan ever since and nothing will ever come close to that decade of music.
I agree that music is personal preference and no one should tell the others what to listen to. I love the Stone Fury album on the counter. Great talk, this is how we talk about music in my local music stores
Being in a big rush to purchase something before it’s gone/out of print (which goes back to my first comment below). Frontiers Records is a perfect example of this. Say a band like Stryper releases a new album, you better order it fairly quickly because in 6 months to a year, they will stop pressing any new copies and now later, if you want a new, mint copy you might end up paying considerably more on eBay for it.
I regret selling my CD collection, but I copied all of it and now I’m buying the special edition remasters of my favorites. I know I have 80,000-100,000 songs on a hard drive and a back up with only 350 CDs and growing
Oh no! I have a huge comic book collection too! Plus cds and vinyl. I'm married though so i guess im ok. I'm also a big nerd. Love your content! Keep collecting, never change!
Thanks Ray! Music nerds forever! 👊
I'm a completist.....kinda. I need a bands entire CD catalogue of studio albums, live albums, greatest hits & DVD's. However not CD singles because most now are hard to find (out of print) or too expensive. The only band who's entire CD singles i collected was Pearl Jam b/c their B-sides were as good as the A-sides. Also great art work.
I hate the overbearing audio file who tells you your system is crap.
Audiophile, lol😅, a file can't tell you anything!
@@mansurkhan2764 lol. Exactly
being a metalhead is awesome but a lot of people think metal is nothing more than screaming/Growling which is not true at all. My parents are into 50/60's Rock & Roll. They don't understand why I love metal so much. I keep telling them that I love guitar solos and the music makes me feel I can do anything. They care about the lyrics in their music then the music itself. so, they can do sing a longs lol. P.s I do love Screaming/Growling in my metal lol.
You don’t get it! Ring a metalhead is a way of life! That growling & so called screaming are done by those who can’t sing! Solos are a huge part of the song itself but not the main focus! I have heard many flat solos, especially over the last 20 plus years!
To me the two worst things are:
The hate and disrespect you get for having difference of opinions
And
Not having enough spending money to get everything i want lol
I'll also add the lack of access to buying physical cds, around me there are alot of great places to look for used cds but no guarantee you'll find what you're looking for. 20 years ago places like walmart, target, or the mall all had at least descent music selections
Hey Mitchell!!!!!!
Hopefully Mitchell will jump on here to reply to some of these comments for him. Thanks for watching!
@@BrendonSnyder and three person convos are the best the triangle is strongest!
what i like about collecting is that when i was a kid all i knew was hit songs from a few bands and that was it, but now i am buying all the albums that come with the song i used to love and be blasted away by all those other songs that are equal if not better and it happens every single time, and that's why my collection mostly has like 4 main genres, instrumental, opera, indie and rock from the early 2000 when i first discovered i was a rock kid thanks to my first PSP that came with a demo umd with a few rock songs and that one time my dad came home with a spindle of CD-R with 3 cd filled to the brim with mp3 music that made me who i am today.
I love you guys bantering back in forth. It makes my day. You and Anthony are so funny. So, Brendon, do you regret at all buying that album for what you paid for it? lol. I think I already know the answer.
One thing that you guys touched on regarding visiting record stores in the past and them being full of all kinds of imports made me think of another thing that sucks.
Maybe this is just me, but when I'm in a store that has some history, I know almost for a fact that if there's something I'm really looking for, chances are that a copy of it has been through those doors at some point, then I start wondering if it landed in the right hands, was it looked after and appreciated, where is it now?
Great conversation once again. 🤘😎🤘
Great one!!
ROFLMAO, My mom back in the day bought the too fast for love thinking the same as Anthony! Damn You Vince! Stop Teasing Me! She got the the centerfold of Vince in his spandex outfit from Theater of pain and put that on the wall from a Circus Magazine. LOL Vince is such a tease. LOL
True is worst to have a videogame collection than music... But worst is have both jajjajajaj great videos keep on rocking
Excellent video. Enjoyed this one a lot. Very amusing 😄 😆
Videos like this make me wish I had a local record store
Ugh…. Dealing with Ticketmaster has to be the worst
Great discussion! Minor point, but according to Discogs, Too Fast For Love was released on cassette by Leathür Records in 1981.
Ok, but it was on LP too.
Love the Tiffany in the background 😄
My first two collections were destroyed by a hurricane in 1992 and stolen in 1997. So I stopped collecting. Both collections had a little over a thousand CDs. Last summer I had 5 CDs when I decided I was finally going to start back. A year later I am at 1,235 CD's and 97% of those are $1 finds from Goodwill and the local record store. I've averaged about a 100 CDs a month. One reason is I just can't afford to go out and buy new or higher priced used ones. The other is the thrill of the hunt. This year I'm hitting Garage Sales also. Last week was my biggest haul to date with 70 CDs and they were all artists from the late 70's and through the 80's rock. My worst thing about being a music fan is that my tastes in music crosses so many "genres" it's hard not to be able buy everything that I like that I come across.
Amazing that you got them so cheap, and happy hunting: it's good to know that you can replace a CD collection for relatively little cash if necessary with plenty of used CDs.
I've also started buying far more used CDS in the last 1 or so.
And remember you can't do that with Vinyl, one of the main reason I don't buy vinyl anymore at all: it's way to expensive and loses sound quality every time you play it.😂
@@mansurkhan2764 I don't think the $1 price will last though at the Goodwill closet to me just in the last week. They've been pricing the good ones at $2 and $3. Hopefully the other locations don't follow and start upping the prices.
@@JIF882 Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. The good thing now is I rip everything I get now to a hard drive. So I'll atleast have a lossless digital file if I lose any again.
You're still getting them very cheap; in Germany finding good used CDs at that price is very difficult unless your going for pop stuff. Surprisingly, I found an Online store that sells brand new Metal CDs for as low as €1,49 €2,49, & €3,49 and so on, lately they've even priced down these. I got great CDs from them for those type of prices, the irony being if I went to a 2nd hand shop I used to go to the cheapest Metal CD are usually €4.99😂@@LarryMarsh
@@LarryMarsh I think the reason for that is that the USA has a bigger market for CDs in general, but I could be wrong about that.
Yeah you definitely might want to look into the insuring your stuff. Back in 2009 I was living in a 3 family house in Brooklyn and the family on the middle floor sparked a fire with a space heater than caused tons of damage of course to my apartment because if anyone has had or been involved in a fire, the firefighters smash everything, if they think fire is spreading through the walls, they smash walls and demolish everything and they did so I had tons of cds and rare stuff imports cd singles tons and tons were lost or water damaged, and I was not insured and some kind of a check would have been nice to rebuild or get new copies of things.
Man, I am glad to hear that I am not the only kid who never got a pair of Converse because $10 was too expensive! 😂 I always had to wear a knockoff from Fred’s dollar store that were 2 pairs for $5!! 😂😂
For me, it's that my eyes are bigger than my ears! In other words, there's so many albums that I want that I never have enough time to enjoy the albums I already have.
Totally, for me there's so much Metal out there almost impossible to listen to let alone buy😂
What about the 'newish' fad of taking a single album disc and re-releasing it on 2 discs, with perhaps only 2 or 3 tracks per side. I am trying to avoid these (even though they are newer and mint), just because of having to get up and flip the disc every 12-15 mins rather than every 25 mins.
If you're writing about CDs then this is total B.S. (Bad Science); I mean then its like having Vinyl, where you've to flip the darn thing after 1 side is done playing. The whole idea of CDs is that you can have up to 80 minutes of uninterrupted music on them without any turning over the CD (Disc)!
But I guess you're talking about vinyl, the type of the Remastered (direct Metal Mastering), which is done for better sound quality.
Buen día los saludo desde argentina, soy un gran coleccionista de musica entre otras cosas, y lamentablemente hoy en día por los problemas de inflación impuestos al dólar etc no llegan muchos cds que salen a la venta y los pocos que llegan su precio es excesivo es una pena desde que salió el nuevo CD de Sebastián Bach solo vi publicados 2 en venta en las plataformas de Argentina a un valor de 60 dólares, aclarando que un suedo mínimo de un jubilado acá es de 170 dólares !!! Saludos
Buying a CD because I like a song. To find out the rest is shit. But 1 out of 10 ain't all bad. lol
Yeah I’ve taking to streaming in advance to confirm before buying now for that reason.
@@BrendonSnyder UA-cam is my place to go listen before spend money on a Real Deal CD. After listening to the group MUD (Power pop band from late 60's to late 70's) I went back to get the 2 CD set The Singles '67 - '78 & I'm glad I did.
😮if I be there I will get that motley Crue and don't let you touch it anymore.😂😂😂. you guys look great people.I love music stores.if I live close I be there every weekend.
A lot of hits playing in the record store.
That you are told that you spend too much money on something that depreciates too much on value
You guys have some great discussions! Too bad New Jersey is too far away Id be there at least once a week. No one should be ridiculed for the music they like....if we all liked the same stuff how boring would that be.
Im always debating, scaling down my collection. Thats a tough one😂
your three guys seem to be good guys for women wish you good love you guys
Haha! Thank you so much! 💋
LA Gear were really cool.
Getting reamed by the always merciless gluttonous corporations.
I've thought about getting rid of mine just because I'm a lot older than a lot of the collectors I see and have actually almost died twice in the last four years. What's going to happen to it? I AM married (44 years) but my wife doesn't have my addiction although she never complains about it.
First!
Keep up the record store vids coming ps are u paying royaltys to anthony lol lol 😂\m/
The ending 🤌🏼😂
Not a fan of taking about things I hate, but I'll bite.
Worst thing for me has got to be the obnoxious, privileged fans I've had the displeasure of meeting at concerts. The ones that boast about how many times they've seen the band and shamelessly admit to flipping merch. Also, I dislike the guilt that comes with the spending 💸 esp. since my daughter came along.
nothing wrong being single commun thing today
Every time I buy a new cd, I have to move stuff around.
Brendon, I’m not married & I don’t have kids either…I am in your group.
General public
Background song?
not having money to buy cds or a rock concert ticket organizing cds for sure
I don't like went people tell me this is the best band in the world you have to listen to them or a singer I listen to what I like sound off if they don't like my music they can go and
I don’t get why people think we want to hear shitty opinions that we didn’t ask for. Makes no sense to me and isn’t respectful. If we were to tell them their favorite bands “suck” they’d get mad too, yet they still do it anyway.
”Single, lonely, creepy guys who like to play with records alone at home.” 😂
Are you part of the club?
@@BrendonSnyder Well, maybe the creepy part. 😃 I own about 1500 CDs and a 6 ft row of vinyl. Love watching your videos. Hmm. I’ve been watching them for as long as three years and only now noticed that I haven’t subscribed! Gotta fix that immediately. Cheers from Finland!
moving of appartement cds packing
i kinda wanted to hear from this new guy but he kept getting cut off :(
No, it’s called a conversation and you’ve just got to jump in to be heard. Mitchell is just finding his footing.
@@BrendonSnyder Yeah, but he was ASKED a question, started to explain his answer and then was CUT OFF. that's not a conversation. lol
Dude how about focusing on the parts where I turned to Mitchell and included him specifically so he felt a part of the conversation. Trust me, we all had fun and no one fells they didn’t get to talk. It’s just how we are, try and enjoy it for what it is instead of only seeing the negative.
@@BrendonSnyder Not only seeing the negative. I like your channel/vids/convos. Watch every vid. Just offering a suggestion. I comment on a lot of your vids but only ever get replies when I offer constructive criticism. Don't take it so personally, BS.
Ya'll need wives!
so they can eventually lose HALF of their music collections? lol. no thanks!
Be careful with that comment: I'm a die hard Metalhead and while I love my wife she absolutely hates Metal, she calls it satanic and noise pollution (of course without having any real knowledge about it)!
I've to actually say honey I'm going to listen to music, which means I roll my 2 JBL PARTYBOX'S 1000s into the living room, as they've got wheels, so that I can enjoy my Heavy Metal Mayhem, lol then roll 'em back into my study, cause obviously they can't be in the living room!
The irony is that I bought our 3 bedroom Apartment. Purchased a 3 story house recently and she's already planned where all the furniture will go while my study is now way smaller than the one in the Apartment 😂 I'm almost 20 years older than she is, but learned that if you've got hypertension it's best not too have constant conflicts over music, lol. Maybe what I'm trying to insinuate is make sure your life partner/spouse likes the same or similar music or at least tolerates your musical taste😊
And if you're single enjoy your music as much as you want and can because once your in a serious relationship things can change for the worse music wise.
Now, I listen to music, mostly, when driving to work and back blasting it, lol. People probably think I'm mad, but I don't care cause living without Metal is a drag, but the good news is that numerous studies over the years have corroborated and asserted that Metalheads are the happiest music lovers & listeners!!!
So hat's off to the 3 bachelors in the video clip and play it loud (esp. Brandon cause you love Metal as well) 😃 🎸🎸🎸🎤🥁🎹🎛🎚📻🙋♂️
