    My problem with vinyl records is the prices

      @KillbotAndGorGorAttack  7 років тому +47

      Way I see it, you get what you pay for if it's priced fair. Prices can be high, but it can be fun for that reason!

      Killbot&GorGorAttack!! See I have a job and I only paid $10 an hour that's just not enough to get records because things like iron maiden or slayer or Megadeth to get that on vinyl it's like 30 to 40 bucks

    • @KillbotAndGorGorAttack
      @KillbotAndGorGorAttack  7 років тому +29

      Usually it's a thing about cutting spending in one area for a higher music budget, for instance you wouldn't buy clothes that were as pricy and in turn would be able to get albums. Mike C-Town did a video about this at one point.

    Vinyl is a very fun hobby and medium, but don't be suckered into the "it's 100% problem-free" mentality that some collectors boast. Like CDs, it has its ups and downs, but it's totally worth it in the end!

    I was shopping at Amoeba San Francisco and I found an original copy of Projects in the Jungle by Pantera and the strange thing about that was I chose to wear my Pantera shirt and was joking about how Dimebag would help me find ON of their early albums. Coincidence or not that's still my favorite record story.

      In fact I most enjoyed listening to Dark Side of the Moon on my 30th anniversary edition HYBRID SACD. Never bothered with SA either. Playing it just on my old trusty cd player, sounded better than any old DSOTM record to my ears.

      Gabriele Bobbio my first vinyl was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon which my grandfather had before me. That was a Christmas present too, probanly the best one that year unless I got Vektor's Terminal Redux the same year but I think it was the year before.

      I'm a HUGE metal-head. I remember a friend of mine being surprised I enjoyed other forms of music. He mentioned I wouldn't like a certain song because it was old. It was from the 50s. So, I used the good ol' youtube and played him a vast selection of oldies I knew. He was blown away by my knowledge.
      Then another friend from about 5 years ago couldn't believe I loved oldies. I told her I try to memorize songs I really enjoy, telling I sung Oh, Donna by Ritchie Valens for an hour straight alone a few times trying to get the nuances right. She said she couldn't picture me doing that.
      I'm not much into Christianity, as she is a huge Christian, and I told her I've been known to keep The River by Garth Brooks on repeat for a long time. It's a song regarding such.
      A lot of people lie about liking songs they wouldn't seem to. Hypocrites and all. Funny enough, the Christian lady I mentioned enjoyed Rob Zombie, and a few other metal bands and she said she only ever told me...talk about a hypocrite. Of course, many Christians are.

      Is just having the the shrink wrap removed enough? Or is it important to have them to have them actually taken out as well? It seems like a weird thing, I would've thought that they would be designed and packaged in a way that prevents damage. But I'm taking your word for it, as you have a large collection and seem to know what you're talking about!

    Lot of good and informative information on here. Just started building my record collection shortly before Christmas. I still like collecting CDs and now I like buying vinyls as well. The are pricier than CDs but worth owning even if I own most of the same copies on CD. I'm so picky about taking care of my albums so much if it's not a gatefold copy I will put the album in a plastic cover with the cellophane wrap still on the brand new record. Thanks for your cool videos.

      If you don't take care of it, like leaving it out of its sleeve, storing it in hot climates, not dusting it off before playing.. it's actually kind of hard to scratch/damage a record.

    Buying LPs on the Internet is a pain in the ass when the seller doesnt know how to pack it properly, specially if you buy old editions that are a bit distressed already for all his years.
    I usually buy "rare" hair metal records, so, usually they are first editions and need care, but sometimes sellers really dont put too much effort on it. I had too many bad experiences with that stuff.
    Talking about good stories, I got some records from Leather Angel and D'Molls, and the seller just give me for free a bunch of old sunset strip flyers that he got from back in the day... That was great.

    When you're 16 and have about 8-9 vinyls in your collection while most people your age probably wouldn't even know what the hell it is.
    I also have a business card from a guy who runs a small business in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin on old and/or rare vinyls. It was great. He even had bands play for him for what I'll assume is advertisement purposes, but at least one of them comes from Los Angeles, this band being know as Edge of Paradise.

    That’s why I like vinyl because it funner to hunt for a original/remastered copy or just any good sounding record. And when I but records I usually go on EBay or bands websites are friends give me vinyls, or recordshop.com (I think that shop got shutdown not sure) or record stores. But all you do never ever get a record from Walmart because they edit it and not a good way

    I'm just starting a record collection and I remember going into a small antique shop close to my school and looking at all the records they had. There were some from Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, etc. The one that really caught my eye was Judas Priest "Redeemer of Souls." I thought I would never get it, but on my birthday I got an amazing record player and the Judas Priest album. I now treat it as if it was my child.

    Every Metallica record I own the sounds equility is goes from awesome to piss poor. Had a cool local record store in town(closed because of the pandemic), they used there Instagram to promote the news arrivals like first run pressing, rare vinyls, unopened records or new albums they just put on the shelf. It was a race across town to get that one record I wanted, for instance they posted 2 MBV records and they were gone in 5 mins. Got a ZZ Top and The Cure record and 4 people came into the store asking for them as I was paying for them. Found PIG Praise the Lard in a milk crate hidden with Christmas music, became a fan of PIG as soon as the needle dropped.

  • @ms.felonystrutter2472
    @ms.felonystrutter2472 6 років тому +2

    Here is a major problem, many albums are being manufactured now as 180 gram. Sadly what I have come to learn is that some of these albums are defected, they have a built in scratch before you even play it. Example, I bought my 4th copy of KISS Love Gun on LP (I have purchased this album a total of 11 times, different formats and remasters. I got my first copy of Love Gun when my Mom bought it for me on album in July1977I was 4 years old. Well the new album I just opened yesterday, from the 2014 180 gram remsaster, it skips twice during the song Love Gun and once during I Stole Your Love. Problem is it was made this way so it will be harder for me to get my money back. Last time this happened I emailed Eric Singer and he really hooked me up but I feel bad about bothering him again. The same thing happened to me with the 180 gram remaster of Ozzy "Blizzard of Oz." Oh yeah, from Metal Blade I bought King Diamond "Them" and the record inside it was Abigail. Metal Blade STILL has not helped me with this problem. Also, I buy a of KISS bootleg albums and one issue I see there is the circle in the middle of the record is not round enough to easily slide onto the record table. So I need a knife or something to make it more round.

    • @FadirDungeon
      @FadirDungeon 6 років тому

      They don't make records with scratches on purpouse. But I understand what you mean. The problem is probably that a bit of dirt has been caught in the tracks from the factory. You'll have to clean the record. Another problem might be your antiskating. I have turntable with automatic bias (which doesn't really work so the antiskating on that turntable is bad) and a tiny amount of dirt in the tracks causes the record to skip. However I also have a turntable with perfect antiskating and records never skip on that turntable.

    one i dont believe you mentioned - brand new reccords coming without a decent or even semi decent inner sleeve.. like seriously how much could that add to the cost of making them lol even if its one of the cheaper poly lined paper backed sleeves thats still better than the ones that house the record in the liner notes.. on a side note i have also had picture discs with a damaged outer seam like yours brand new aswell not sure what causes that but if they had a regular album cover inner and outer sleeves pre packaged i dont think this would be a thing

    The resurgence of vinyl in the last few years seems strange to me. My vinyl buying days were from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s, and prices ranged from 3.99 to about 8.99 per disc back then. As far as "problems with records" go, you forgot to mention things like weight, space, scratches, and mildew. Weight, space, and mildew may not be a concern for a few dozen LPs, but when you get into several hundred LPs, how and where to safely put them might become an issue.

    Tony, that's not the only problem with vinyl records. Try having to lift a box of records while you're getting ready to move .. It's fucking heavy ! I ran in to that problem with moving my father's old 78's from the attic to the front closet a long time ago !

    I used to love records. I still love them in a way. I have been collecting records since the early seventies and took such good care of them, that even 40 year old records in my collection, look just like new and play great. Problems with records ? Oh yes, nearly all the time in fact. The vinyl record IS a highly problematic means of storing and listening to music. One of them for instance, is watching THE PUSSYCAT and making sure she won't decide to jump on the turntable while a record is playing. Just a small example among the many. When the compact disc appeared on the market, I started buying cds, eventually phasing out records. I am much happier with cds, no matter what many people say. They are anxiety-free*, and much easier to take good care of, compared with records and the music sounds great to me too. Not the slightest pussycat problem either.
    *No frantical searching with the cotton pad in hand, for the offending speck of dust which has just caused the stylus to jump on your record.. or suffering the ANNOYING TIK ! TIK ! TIK ! for several revolutions ! No more of that S%#*T ! Just the music !

      As of right now, avoid Undertow (thin and tinny, packaging sucks), and 10,000 Days never had an official vinyl press but lots of bootlegs. Aenima is rare and expensive, Lateralus sounds good but it's colored/transparent, and Opiate I'm not sure about. Even though the vinyl sounds better for Aenima, I'd probably only get the vinyl for Lateralus right now.

  • @ms.felonystrutter2472
    @ms.felonystrutter2472 6 років тому +1

    That is how record companies in the 80's got fans to stop buying albums, put more songs on the cd or cassette. However that is also where some bands got into trouble because a song or two that maybe constituted as filler can take away from the "mood" of the album. That is how the metal world was saved for YEARS from hearing the Judas Priest HORRIBLE song, "Red White and Blue." It did not surface until the 2001 (around that time) remaster cd's with bonus tracks. Now bands are selling special TOUR edition cd's you can only get at the show and it may have a bonus track. Look at the Sabbath Farewell tour cd. That is the most boot legged cd going around right now on ebay, I got mine from there. Or take Cannibal Corpse, I will not buy the new album until I find the copy with the bonus German disc. American fans really got screwed with this one.

    Hey Killbot
    I want to start collecting physical media for my metal but I dont know whether to go with vinyl or CD
    I want Vinyl for the collecting, huge artwork, posters, and amazing sound quality
    I want to collect CDs for the better storaging, cheaper pricing, holds more songs, and not having to worry about it being prone to being ruined.
    Vinyl is the better product overall, but CDs i could collect more than vinyl and faster without having to make more space and also get original releases of albums without having to sell a kidney to get it (like Symbolic or Aenima on vinyl). Maybe I could do a bit of both but I wanted to get some advice from you since you are an experienced collector on both and knows what he's talking about.

    • @KillbotAndGorGorAttack
      @KillbotAndGorGorAttack  6 років тому

      Its pretty much a question of how much you're willing to pay for an album and how much you're going to listen to it on that format. A CD or download can go anywhere, vinyl has to stay in one place. There are downsides to vinyl and CDs, sound quality and mastering can be an issue for both. When done right, they can sound amazing. My thing is with new albums I don't worry about vinyl too much because if it was recorded digitally it's not going to fare much better on an analog format.

    Not necessarily a record problem, but something definitely went wrong here. I just bought the Master of Puppets album for twelve dollars.

      @@KillbotAndGorGorAttack I turned to my friend when I first put it on and said to him “isn’t there manufacturing limitations to records that they’re only supposed to hold about 25 minutes per side? I know this album is nearly 60 minutes long so the math isn’t adding up.” Even with those suspicions I seen that version of the album at the store and patience be damned!
      I just discovered this channel last night after commenting on another channel about Ministry’s Bush Trilogy which led me down the rabbit hole and finding your video on it. Definitely a great watch! Houses of the Mole’ is my favorite Ministry album and I’m still sporting the hearing loss of standing in the front row of The Trocadero seeing them on that subsequent tour. Loudest concert I ever been too (my left ear rang for three days) but Al was on top of his game and he even came over toward us while we banging our heads and screaming every word off that album and he acknowledged us by sticking out his tongue while shaking his head wildly. It was really cool having that connection that he appreciated our appreciation of the new material. And since we had a band of our own at the time we were really interested in how the band was going to handle playing “WTV” live. All those samples and having to hit the notes on the guitar to simulate changing the channel at just right time was just funny to watch. It was like every band member was in a closed circle looking at each other for their timing cue and probably thinking in the back of their heads “why did Al put this on the fucking set list?!” They nailed it though and it was awesome having the video queued to each sample to go along with it.
      And speaking of nailing things…that Type O Negative video of your’s is phenomenal! Without question they are my favorite band of all time and your video is the perfect summary of the band’s career and captures the band’s brand of humor quite well. A perfect video for someone who is curious about the band to go check out. So many of things you said in that video I explained to various people at one time or another when getting them into the band especially because some of their material needs context. Like how “Der Untermensch” led to the allegations of racism which led to the responses “Kill All The White People” and “We Hate Everyone.” Which with further context you can see the band’s humor on the DVDs and start to understand that any allegation like that is far from the truth and that they’re just good natured edgelords. Let alone Josh being Jewish and all. It’s much easier to gather that fact just watching your video and understanding the band’s sense of humor like how you bring up Pete’s cat and “Bloody Kisses” or Playgirl and “I Like Goils.” Come to think of it, Type O Negative has tons of songs if taken too serious or literal they would make perfect “cancel culture” fodder. Makes me happy to know the fanbase is in on the joke.
      Nevertheless I’ll be continuing to binge your content and getting caught up!
