Horrific crimes of record collecting
Horrific crimes of record collecting
Sometimes I get so caught up in obscure forgotten metal that I forget about some really classic stuff. For example, I only just realized that I don't own Sad Wings Of Destiny in any format.
I'm pretty sure I have every track on various compilations, but still that's no excuse. Going to turn in my license to headbang now...

Same here. I always put off the common stuff thinking "this will always be available next week/month/year but there's this other record I might not see again for x amount of time"... the rarer items almost always take precedence. This has bitten me in the ass as stuff I used to see for $5 all the time has now gotten a lot more expensive.

It seems to be common for record collectors, not owning the classics who SHAPED the genre(s).
It's always nice to find some "new" obscure bands, but how can you really beat MOTÖRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN for example? You cannot top them, ever.

Headbanger, Earthdog, Rivet Head, Hell Rat & Metal Maniac!
Don't have this problem really, it was important to me to get "basic" stuff first, and it was also the only choice with no internet, limited money, and poor selection of places to find records. There's a huge amount of records many would consider common and essential, so of course I'm missing some things in that sense, and not to sound too pretentious because of course there's so many records I still need, but sometimes a few "classics" are records I can't be bothered to buy, if just for the sake of having them on the shelf when I wouldn't want to listen to them anyway.
Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?

One of my big omissions: I don't own Mercyful Fate 'Melissa' currently
Only recently got a new copy of 'Holy Diver'

Same here! And although I already owned most Manilla Road/Cirith Ungol/insert other 'semi-obscure' band's original vinyls back in the late nineties, I'd wish I had discovered 'really' obscure metal a few years earlier.mordred wrote:Thankfully I had obtained most essential "basic" stuff before I knew there was such a thing as "obscure" metal.
