At the end of the day for me, its the fact that the band and label has asked the individual not to post the album for upload on a blog or whatever and additionally not for the fan to download it. It's a matter of respect for them to heed their request which they feel strongly about. Will it save yo...

That's a great analogy!

I honestly do not see a problem with downloading an out-of-print album and I actually fail to comprehend why, if someone has a limited budget and WANTS TO support a label (any label) by buying a product, shouldn't check the products first and then make an educated decision as to what they want to sp...

It was the best atmosphere I've experienced at a festival so I'd highly recommend it. Everyone was very friendly and relaxed, even the locals! Examples; A friend and I missed the train stop and got off at Lauda. We had a pint or 3 and then found a supermarket to buy booze for the campsite. So, ther...

I still miss loads of standards and am always delighted to find them, good music is good music. More stories please! Best thread

Some day I will actually make it to this festival. Sounds bloody great. But knowing my track record with missing gigs I wouldn't hold my breath...

HHH Records : $ 200 - 300.- (150 if you are very lucky ! Like me !) Metal Blade : $ 30 - 40.- (beware ! a lo...

I know a place called Record Exchange on Notting Gate Hill. I found some ok stuff there for very cheap. I think the consensus is that London is not that great for Heavy Metal hunting? But I'm sure there must be some place?

Hahahaha brilliant garage door!

Hahahaha brilliant - cheers John!

I liked reading this thread even though the whole argument of whether W.A.S.P. are Metal or not is a bit silly. Thanks for the youtube posts Ion Britton - I'm enjoying them a lot!

Hey Jonathan, did you get my e-mail at all?

edit: sorry, I meant John. I'm a bit dim.

Yeah I guessed as much, I was just being a dick Daniel!

As far as I see it, if someone posts stuff on the internet, spends hours cleaning audio files and posts them up they are running a blog and they are doing it voluntarily. An internet radio station is also a voluntary thing, a hobby. It can be used to generate interest in another (money-making projec...

Not going to mention even one record, this is a topic that will never have any consistency, there will be 5 individuals claiming each of a band's 5 separate albums to be THE ONE that trumps the other 4, so there isn't any point. And frankly I don't care if anyone agrees with me on these issues at t...
