One time I bought a Black Sabbath CD and when I opened it inside was an LL CoolJ CD, dark times.......

As a collector of music, this video is golden. Spot on 100%

If somebody cheated me out of a Misfits CD I will personally send the Elven blood ghosts from Aqua Teen Hunger Force after them.

One time I saw the mail lady trying to fold my whole ass Vinyl to fit in the mailbox

We got it made these days with the internet. It sucked being a metal head living in a small town growing up in the 80s and 90s.

Always pay for signature required and hold on to the receipt. This saved me from getting screwed quite a few times

You sir...are the best youtuber....🤘 i only open youtube to check whether u have dropped a vid or not anyways...ur awesome...stay metal...and keep up the good work.. edit: woa...thnx fr that heart....only if youtube had a horns up instead of a heart😂

The biggest kick in the balls is when there isn't a record store in town, and then the ones out of town have all of the good stuff picked over already.

Just bought my first album, I'm 14 years old and I'm proud to join the Metal head community! (Again thank you Tony for getting me into black metal and helping me understand more about instruments, pressing, remastering and what i should look out for when buying my 2nd and future albums.)

One thing I like about these kind of videos is when you show off a bunch of your albums. I find my self pausing the video to look up a band that caught my attention

8:49 I bought a copy of Obzen by Meshuggah and the guy was like "If you buy the insurance then you won't have to pay for a new cd in case something goes wrong." but I treat my CDs well enough to not think I need it. Then when I opened up the case to listen to it on my way back, the center holders were broken. And it was a brand new CD!

1:49 I saw KMFDM and had a heart attack, I love them

0:37 I spy Kyuss! Excellent taste my man!

Thanks for the vids Killbot. It educates me more as a growing music buyer and consumer

Watching this during class ahaha

Another great video of THE METAL by uncle Tony

These types of videos always help with my life and ideas thank you KillBot

I've always wanted to start a collection, but man in aware of the ridiculous amounts of research someone has to do to get the right stuff, mad respects

Coincidentally, I got 3 cds with cracks on the cases in the mail the same day this video came out! Thankfully I have someone to relate to. Great video!

You are by far the best metal KZfaqr I have ever watched! Keep up the amazing content dude 🤘🏻🔥🔥

Its so satisfying bringing a new CD or record home

Thanks for the all the tips.

Nailed it ,!Grind on ! That cc Pic disc is mighty looking!

Awesome mate 🤘

I know I'm late to the party but great stuff man, you hit it right on the nail here! I've experienced stuff like this many times but my best story is when I was hunting down the Running Wild discography. It was at a time when the newer digipack remasters wasn't available and you had to hunt down either originals or the extremely rare older remasters. I found Black Hand Inn (which was one I obsessed with) for a pretty high price but after I bought it I got an email saying that he already sold his copy.. The very next day I went to work and told my co-worker about it and he told me that he thought he saw some Running Wild at a local CD store. The store he was talking about was a bit weird so I didn't like to go there, but I decided to go there after work anyway and yep.. there I found the original Black Hand Inn in mint condition for about 7 dollars. It was a new owner for the store at the time and he also pulled out some of his stock from the back and found more Running Wild for me. So that night I came home with the original Black Hand Inn and the remaster of Masquerade, and I remember texting my mom that now I could die a happy man :)

Nice video dude. I think you should do a video on ghoul, like the one you did with type O-negative, explaining the story or the band, or even the story of whats happening on the albums. Keep up the good work

Fantastic video

Very informative thanks Killbot

Wow, this was very informative even though watching this video just gave me anxiety😂 I can’t wait to start my music collection!🤘🏾🤘🏾

found a used japanese edition of Sin After Sin at a local cd store, one of my happiest purchases

Ah yes, yet another great Killbot video.

Very informative, thank you. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Great vid

SUPER INFO. THANKS, BRO. KEEP IT UP.

Man, I sure love these types of video's! I know that most of the people who comment say this but, I can relate to this. It sure does feel satisfying when I'm opening the package with the CD inside. That is until I find out that the jewel case is either cracked or damaged, it really bugs me. Keep up the good work, Tony.

I used to work as a temp at a USPS, of most people saw, at least how this one shipped stuff, they'd be shocked that their packages ever come good at all!

Great video....

The very mention of Countdown to Extinction (2004 Remastered) triggered my fight or flight.

Awesome

Great video

Last week I ordered Motley Crue Shout Out the Devil on CD to have the original run but I got the vinyl instead which was original print I'm happy with that fuck up I told the seller then you sent me the CD for no extra charge

As a Swiss-Guy, I like that you are using a Swiss Army Knife ^^ And I can relate to that video, especially the double-lp part. I once bought a double-lp with 2x the same record (side A and B). At least the label sent me a free copy of side C and D, so now I have a complete album ^^

Ha! OMG! Wow!!! This is pretty right on. I just recently bought about 20+ cd's over the past 3+ months, easily. Mostly death metal. I've bought mostly from eBay, but also from Amazon and even Walmart. Going through all the sellers, ratings and versions made me sweat and just about have a nervous breakdown. All said and done though I've had a good experience buying online. I got everything I wanted and almost no issues except for a minor few. Great video though.🤘👍

I was able to track down the older cds for most of Judas Priest’s albums, except for point of entry so I got the remaster. The difference in quality is so noticeable in playlists when most of the songs have dynamic range, and then a point of entry song comes up

NEW VIDEO!!!! FUCK YEAH!!

Damn I fucking love ur videos ❤️❤️

On the album flippers, when Primus remastered Tales From the Punchbowl on magenta vinyl, a week after it fully released I saw an eBay listing for $125! It was $40 from the Primus store!

I've definitely had that issue searching for Nausea (the nyhc one, not the L.A. growly one). I like how they were on the screen when you mentioned it. Just found your channel the other day. I like your videos alot. Very cool.

I had a rare mayhem compilation fractured to bits upon opening

I saw Jane's Addiction in your collection! Cool stuff!

A couple days ago my CD copies of rings of Saturn’s first album and anaal nathrakh’s domine non es dignus came in and the thing holding the CD in place were shattered, good thing the discs were fine

If i had a dollar for everytime i recived a cd with a busted center holder, id have enough to buy my entire collection again

🤘 That Dangerous Toys album. Got it on vinyl 😁

Great video but I've got to agree on the statement about pops, skips and clicks on brand new picture discs. It has happened to me a couple of times, but never on an ordinary black or coloured vinyl. Don't know why though. I guess some of the paint (or whatever the proper name is in this case) gets in the grooves when they press picture discs.

I would just get cannibal corpse vinyls at a record store. If they don’t have something they’re usually willing to order it for you. That’s what I always did when I wanted something specific. Have the record store order it. They call you when it arrives a month later and you go buy it. Always in good condition that way.

Master Of Reality and Heartwork on vinyl nice!

And hey two of the three CDs I got for Christmas have arrived in the mail. 🤘🎸

Damn bro - you’re def a nightmare buyer!

Watched this while waiting for my Primus suck on this cassette.

A good example of the Trax Box one is 38. Also nice to see that We Shall Cleanse The World gets some notoriety.

this has nothing to do with online shopping but i was at a record shop this one day many years ago and i bought a metal compilation cassette in there discount bin with a few others bought that day i got home opened up the compilation cassette and the insert looked good and the cassette looked good on till i popped it into my player and pushed play expecting to hear some metal \m/ but instead it was the Beatles

So real, the worst part is when you buy the worse version (2004 RiP) and you sorta wanna get rid of it but can't afford the better one and you just have to sit with it

I think the album I got in the worst condition was the deluxe edition of Becks “Guero” when the CD looked like they stepped on it in the span of an hour, luckily it played fine but I was still disappointed that the seller said it was “near mint”

The otherday i got Bad Brains self titled on vinyl finally

Cool Deathwish shirt. First I seen anyone wear that one. I have original vinyl pressings of Edge of Damnation and Demon Preacher.

I ordered a Sonic Youth The Eternal LP and it came with two LP1's. Thankfully the seller made it right.

Actually the seller talking about the picture disc I agree with the reason for it is the sleeve of paper that is smashed in between vinyl, it can and does effect the sound and quality of the record itself it's why I never purchase picture discs. At least for myself personally. I agree with taking the record out very important indeed!

this was a few years back and i do not remember off hand what album it was but what i do remember is that it was a album that i had bought off of ebay it was a album with 3 cds in it and when i opened it i know something was not right for it was in a single case plus the cd did not even match the tracks on the back it was one of the 3 cds but like i said it was in a single case it was supposed to me in one of them large double cases but the only good thing out of this is that the seller did apologize and give me back a full refund

I’ve had two releases where I just got the version I want out of a whim: one was an online purchase where I didn’t have any info on what pressing it is, and another was an in store purchase that I knew about beforehand because of their catalogue. So basically if you aren’t getting it on discogs or the seller told you which pressing you get, it’s basically a game of luck lmao

That’s why I go to HMV and other CD stores one you can get any metel album Under 10 pound

Never have any of these problems with my cds being shipped. They are always in great condition, and everything that is supposed to be included is and nothing that isn’t is.

But... the 2004 remaster of countdown to extinction does sound awesome

OMG U HAVE BRUTAL PLANET AND DRAGONTOWN YESSSSSSS FIANLLY SOMEONE THAT DOES LIKE ALICE COOPERS METAL ERA

this guy gets me...

One frustrating thing. Buying a pre-order and waiting months for it. Something rewarding though: getting an extra for your patient.

I know this is unrelated but thank you for introducing me to Terrorizor

Killbot when I get my CDs I get em at my local record store so that way I avoid the obstacles mentioned in the video

I’ve been trying to find a pressing of Witchavens “Terror Storm” and it’s been the biggest pain in the ass, they are my favorite band and I just can’t find anywhere to buy a new pressing, or a used one where I can see pictures of it

I've actually had a cracked CD cade when buying straight from the band's store, even weirder that same disc, when ripping it, showed up as a different album on my PC, weird!

Amazon should watch this

Love the shirt

I had a fucking PERFECT copy of Deicide's Serpents of the Light on tape, put it in the first time and it plays for 3 seconds and the tape snaps and is completely fucked...didnt even get to hear slave to the cross..

I bought some tool albums, one was an original, another was a newer pressing made in germany, and another one was a brand new copy from Walmart. I know it's not the best as the originals but I couldn't afford them.

i had a cd that looked like the disc was damaged on the top i was like wtf as it was the first time that happened but it is part of the cds design after a google

does anyone have any advice on finding vinyls online, is there a vinyl store? or some kind of way of getting to good copies

I hate the 2004 remasters of Megadeth albums...especially Rust in Peace. The original is way better.

Fun fact, even streaming is becoming a hassle if you're an avid album listener, especially for classic bands, for example, lets say you want to hear Rainbow's Long Live Rock and Roll or Motorhead's Overkill, and you go to whatever streaming service you prefer, boom, the only available version is the deluxe edition with 39 tracks, and you only wanted to listen to the regular album.

I can relate to having cds broken in the mail I got seasons in the abyss by slayer and reign supreme by dying fetus come in with the cases completely shattered

There was one time I had a cd sent through the mail. It got sent to the wrong apartment. I asked around if anyone got it by mistake. Then one day I see it in the trash. It was still sealed. Was annoying no one bothered to return it to me.

i share your pain man i use apple music for my listening needs now, but every now and there i'm like oh awesome a barthory cd or hey a album that i've been looking for that is't a arm and a leg and a couple toes on top of that. i used inport cd for a few years till they filled the box with cds no packing or anything and i'd say for every 10 i'd buy 3 will have the holders broken and it's infuriating to say it lightly. worse case was a got a copy of nightwish's oceanborn and the whole face cover was cracked and i was pissed as hell man. i feel like that what you said needed to be said thanks man, have a good one

this could also go for comic books

i needs recommendations

I think I’ll bye in stores

Love misfits. Favorite punk band....Do you have any AxCx records or cds or something?

One time, I opened a CD, and all the little tab things that keep the CD in place ALL fell out, the next week I got another CD from the same exact artist and once again, the whole case broke apart and the tabs all fell out, disappointing lol

I’ll start collecting physical music again eventually but right now I’m fine with my ipod classic and band patches

Hey, man, I was just wondering, what exactly changes in the 2004 remaster of Countdown to Extincion and the original release?

I always just go to a use music store or something to find music cds since i do get pretty lucky finding stacks of death metal cds for only 2$ each. Whenever i buy cd online i mostly go to sites where i know they sell what i wanted ebay sellers always gives me worrys etc..

I couldn't find info on your talk about Anthrax changing lyrics. I know Metal Church did that to my favorite song of theirs. BADLANDS.

back in march i bought the first two Nocturnus albums... they still haven’t come
