While I am surprised at how quickly this happened, I am in no position to judge Michael or his motives. May God bless him and his new wife.

Some good stuff on this CD, without a doubt.

Definitely on my want list.

'Too Late For Love' I voted for.

 

But prefer the 'High 'N' Dry' album much better than this one.

 

Totally agree. I even play On Through The Night more but I really dig all 3. After that, forget about it.

Yeah, High N Dry for me as well. Thus my screen name.

Comin' Under Fire but I really like the B-sides of this album (A-sides to me). I could deal with never hearing Photograph and Rock of Ages EVER again.

Although those songs and Foolin' are great songs, they sure got overplayed. Thus the rest of the album is what I normally listen to.

I gave up complaining about this seller/bidder. Ebay just does not care. The evidence is right there in plain view. How pathetic.

Just one of the reasons I rarely bid or sell on Ebay any more.

Yes. Bootlegs are getting better but luckily there are usually errors to be found. And now with Diamond Silver Bottom CD-Rs in the mix, BEWARE the music fan/collector with too much money to spend but few brain cells to do research before spending €£$500 on a so-called 'Originals.'

 

Please. Do not encourage Time Warp Records. That fake company has fucked over enough bands and still doing it. There is still the 'endless' supply of the bootlegs being sold on eBay and Gemm. Funny how certain titles always seem to be instock.

 

I agree with you mate.

speaking of bootleg I saw a guy selling ZA ZA both releases on the fine TIME WARP crap label going for $60 , man that is more than what I have been getting for a original release . What a bunch of no minds !!

Where are these ZA ZA releases selling for that much?

To those that are blocked by work firewalls (THOSE BASTARDS!!!) have you tried using an anonymous proxy to get to the board?

Then type in http://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com into the URL bar and see if you can get there.

 

There are other free anonymous proxies you can use (but be careful, some are not safe, so NEVER pass confidential personal information through an anonymous proxy; but it should be safe enough for using this board).

The anonymyzer was blocked.

I can get on the HH forum from work but not the main site. I can get on Amazon, but not Ebay. I can access USA Today Sports, but am blocked from almost all other sports sites. Our filters are STRANGE.

I was going to say he's been alot better, but looking through feedback left for others again, he seems to be settling into his negativity again. 5 NEGS for a guy who's auction clearly stated $3 PER CD and didn't offer combined shipping. Like that or not, it was stated. It's not the sellers problem if this fuckwit doesn't read details

Ebay needs to remove those feedbacks. Otherwise, their already suspect feedback system is shown to be even more worthless.

It seems every few weeks I get another order from him, which I quickly cancel. Probably 8-10 by now.

I lost an entire $7 bucks on my Paypal claim against him. Then, about 2 months later, this is the message I got from him (along with a refund of 1 cent via Paypal, which of course equaled a big goose egg after the 1 cent Paypal fee) I believe he may be slightly retarded

 

"Wow! Alright!, YOU WIN...BTW...I will return you all your money back...today I have return a good money $ 0.01...:-))))) I hope you are HAPPY with it...well...in the next days I will send you more money (be happy)...$ 0.02 or $ 0.03, right ?!!! :-) I hope you are HAPPY...sorry alot for my *melecado* Kavla CD! :-(

Bye guy!

-RR-

 

I'd steer clear of this nut job everyone.

Did he keep sending you a cent or two at a time?

He's been NARUed, yet his neg feedback still remains, to me that's unfair.

 

Dave

 

I'd give E Bay a call and check with them since the case in which he left negative feedback for you was ruled in your favor and now he is no longer a registered user, the neg may be able to be removed.......

 

Doesn't hurt to give it a try?

 

Del

Good luck, Dave! Please let us know how it turns out!

Just giving this a bump to see if anyone else has something to say about Geoff's problem...

Just saw Paul Stanley about 10 days ago. INCREDIBLE!!

Halford's WINTER SONGS has been growing on me with repeated spins... still hate that "Christmas for Everyone" song tho... here's the review I wrote for Detritus e-zine of the CD, if anyone cares...

 

HALFORD – WINTER SONGS (B-) Metal God Entertainment, 2009

10 Tracks, RT: 41:43

 

Okay, let’s be honest. When this project was first announced a few months ago, you all hated the idea, didn’t you? As soon as word hit the streets that the Metal God was doing a Christmas album (!), Internet message boards around the world were immediately lit up like…well, like Christmas trees, with countless fans screaming, “Is he serious? Dude, this is gonna totally suck. Has Rob completely lost his frickin’ mind?” But hold on y’all! WINTER SONGS may not be the waste of plastic that you’re all imagining that it is. In fact, it’s been growing on me with repeated listens, like the fungus on that Christmas fruitcake that’s been passed around my family for what seems like several generations now. (Haha!) Longtime Halford fans will probably recall that this is not Rob’s first foray into Holiday music; back in ’93 he recorded a promo/fan club only Christmas single (“Christmas Ride”) with his then-current band Fight, so right there we’ve got some precedent for this sort of thing. What the hell, I guess ole Rob just really, really digs the Christmas season and since he now runs his own record label to release his solo stuff and therefore he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants with that, he has decided to share a little holiday cheer with the rest of the headbanging world. Is there anything really wrong with that? On WINTER SONGS, Rob and his solo band tackle six traditional Christmas hymns along with four new original songs with a winter/holiday theme. Of the originals, the one that’s most “Halford-like” would be the leadoff track “Get Into the Spirit,” which is a fast paced rocker that could almost pass for a B-Side from CRUCIBLE. “Winter Song” is the heart of the album, a plaintive, moving piano ballad (that still has balls of steel of course) which (call me crazy if you will) hearkens back to Priest’s SIN AFTER SIN era. The other two original songs include one fair-to-middling entry (“I Don’t Care if It’s Christmas Night,” which sounds like a bad attempt at the vibe of those classic 1960s Phil Spector rock-n-roll Christmas singles) and one that’s out and out godawful (“Christmas For Everyone,” a slab of sentimental pap with lyrics that read like a rejected Hallmark card interior). Moving on, I have no complaints about Rob’s takes on holiday staples (including such Church-ified classics as “O Holy Night,” “Oh Come All Ye Faithful,” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”), in fact, I was quite impressed with how classy they sound. Rob made the wise choice of treating these songs with the respect that they deserve and playing them straight, rather than tarting them up in tons of studio polish (as Trans-Siberian Orchestra would’ve done) or overplaying them for the camp value (Hell-ooooo, Twisted Sister!)… he simply sings these winter carols the way they should be sung. Period. OK, so there may be an electric guitar solo added on here and there that the original composers would never have dreamed of, but hey, this IS the Metal God we’re talking about here, after all. Though I expected this to be a “one listen and gone” disc for me, WINTER SONGS has seen repeated spins in my player since I first got it and it will likely continue to be played through the holiday season. It’s not a perfect album by any means, and Lord knows I would’ve preferred a new Halford release to be jam packed with the screaming heavy metal we all love Rob for, but I can’t deny that WINTER SONGS has a unique charm of its very own. No one is more surprised by that than me. Since this is a seasonal release it will obviously have zero replay value after Dec. 25th (until next holiday season, anyway) but despite that, I'll still say that it’s worth investigating. Merry Christmas, Mr. Halford.

As Usual an Incredible Review!!!!!

 

Great review Keef. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't like the songs I heard and don't care much for Christmas music in general then your review might of made me want to buy this.

Wow! This is exactly how I feel. Not impressed at all with the music, but this is one HECK of a thorough review!

Winter Songs: 34/100

Review: 98/100

Talisman, although the choice was tough!

Man - I wish I understood some of the inside jokes around here. These threads would make alot more sense to me then.

You and me, both. I just go along and pretend I know what's goings on.

Me too. My first glance at this and I thought "Oh no, here we go again."

But then I took a closer look and determined that it was, well, just fine fellows enjoying each other.

No idea why it took me so long to pick this one up. Just arrived today.

Wow! I had no idea what I was missing!

GREAT CD!!!

My favorite songs so far are:

1 - Those Were the Days

2 - She's Crazy

3 - Nowhere Fast (although lead vocal seems strained at times. Did anyone else notice this?)

4 - Love Won't Wait

About my only complaint is the mess up with the song order.

No clunkers at all.

Although I like Rockarma a great deal, there is a chance this one may be even better.

Excellent, without a doubt.

If anyone else out there has also foolishly delayed getting this, BUY IT NOW as a personal Christmas present! You will not be disappointed.

and backed again...hitler santa please

Let's go. Let's get this done in a timely manner!

What about USA track star Carl Lewis?

Can anyone come up with a link to him singing the national anthem?

Finally, Jim LaVerde, Steve, Ray and Dean met and, after much prayer, Dean was asked to become the new lead vocalist for Barren Cross.

 

Wow !! What a story... ! Did they sing that prayer ??

How'd I miss that line? That is amazing. HAHA. I love that 'State of Control' CD but man, these guys sound like f*cking loonies!

I have to disagree. Waiting for God's will and relying on His timing can help folks avoid problems. It does not mean a person is crazy.

I am looking forward to this new music. Attakk and Malice both had some great tunes!

I've had to deal with her, too. She's a bit of a cunt...

Trying to figure out this comment.... sounds interesting....

This had better end or i'll be forced to post my Hitler Santa LOL.

 

Who wants to see it?

 

Me, me, me!

 

Me too!!

Aw, hell! Who am I kidding? Post it.

This request is gaining momentum!

This had better end or i'll be forced to post my Hitler Santa LOL.

 

Who wants to see it?

 

Me, me, me!

Me too!!

I reported him for shill bidding back in August. Nothing happened. As I said before, Ebay's Customer Protection is a sham.
