COLLECTOR PORN

Oh Dan, so I can't be critical, and I should always be in a 'normal' mood when posting? People gave Blackstele tons of shit for paying lots for items but now it's not ok? I think Scratch is crap and over-hyped so I'll say it.

I'll do my best to make a decent upload soon.

Yes, it's the split. I first heard it at Fils Du Metal's place and i thought it's pretty cool.

Critizism and discussions are encouraged here (heck, it's even a forum rule) but yes please, "normal mood" is always best while in front of the 'puter I think. About collector-mania and its pros & cons, I'm sure there's old threads out there about it and you're welcome to bump them.

I just though sovdat's comment was pretty spot-on and your "wiseguy" reply was, well... ironic.

...and Kiki was at least funny-crazy.

Well, of course I'm not angry.

Just think it's weird if pro-comments are ok and negative ones not so on here... yeah understand the need to keep it from turning into a huge mess though

Sovdat, well, ... I just don't bother listening to exclusive CD collectors much, it's like some joke to me. Which in itself is an elitist statement but here I am admitting it.

The wieguy thing...ok...just didn't think there was too much wit in his rebuttal overall, just generic as I said. I get emotional and post things, didn't issue any death-threats here, so don't think I was out of line.

Fair enough.

More pRoN:

As a "genre" I think Italian Metal compilations has an impressive score record of Amazing Cover Art.

I split a few of the last posts about collector-mania-insanity into a new thread. There might be a few old ones on the same subject, but let's start from scratch and keep it there, OK?/aDmiN

*EYE-GASM*

OK, the "Heavy Rendez-vous" is the only one i own, too, but among the rest there are only 2 comps whose existence i was aware of. The other ones: never seen before...

Sounds like you need to read up then! I'm less than halfway to that pic myself, but I must say that while I am not a huge fan of Italian metal in general, compilation-wise it has a high ratio of awesomeness!

ok here's some compilation thread material:
a norwegian tape compilation i know shit about with unreleased tracks from Loader and Witchhammer,and Wired Shit is full of live,unreleased and demo version tracks from lethal,sa slayer,helstar,omen,heir apparent etc.
Mind you i just found out there is a Metal mercenaries II tape! more details as i get them

Seriously?!? I had read that one was in the works but I asked around and came to the conclusion that it never happened.

Great pic of your Italian conne...collection there Kyr. Inspirational. Only have four of those (and some reissues).

Do you have a better pic of that Norwegian tape? I have a good idea what that is but I haven't seen it around for years.
