TNA............TNA..............TNA........... Looking forward to hearing this one BIG TIME! Everything's better with a little TNA!

Hey Charvel, you ought to look into getting the Shortino/Northrup disc "Back on Track". It's been recently re-issued with 4 bonus tracks by Shire Records. I haven't had a chance to get through the entire CD yet, but everything I've heard so far ROCKS! Shortino is one of my favorite vocalists! Shire Records

Like Sands Through the Hourglass...SO Are the Days of Our Lives.......

Well, if you paid by check, do a "Stop Payment" on it. If you paid via Pay Pal, go file a complaint with them. If you used a money order, there's probably a way to do a stop payment on it. If you paid with cash, just kiss it goodbye,and write it off as a lesson learned. Not much else to do....

Well, if you paid via Pay Pal, you can go file a complaint at: Pay Pal Buyer Complaints I've actually heard of fraudulent sellers bank accounts being frozen through this process!

"Three of the CDs I won were later confirmed multiple collectors as never issued to CD format. " OK,so you were bidding on titles that were never actually issued as CDs..... sounds like you were exactly what this seller was looking for... I'm not trying to be an ass here,but seems like you kinda got yourself into this predicament.

OK hardrockingcollector, in your first post, you said your "suspicions had been confirmed" ...how about elaborating on that? How are you SURE this person purposely set out to screw everyone? If you've got hard evidence, I'd think you'd want to share it with everyone.Let's hear it....

Just playing devil's advocate for a moment here... If you pull up Sspert.hotmail.com's eBay info, you can see that until recently this person had always been a buyer, NEVER a seller(may not have been clear on selling guidelines).It appears as if he simply decided that he was going to sell his entire collection at once, and listed everything he had.This may simply be a case of the seller not thinking he was doing anything wrong,and literally listing EVERYTHING he had. Either way, whether on purpose or by accident, it sucks for anyone involved in a transaction with this person; I'd probably hold onto my cash, and take my chances on the feedback if I truly thought I was paying top dollar for a CD-R.

Quick MJ...go throw in Finger on the Trigger by TNA and think to yourself "Branded is coming,...Branded is coming!"

Gotta add Dirty Deeds - Real World & Danger of Infection to the list of good cheap CDs! Got both CDs offa eBay for less than $7,and these boys ROCK! Melodic metal with influences ranging from Iron Maiden(who from what I gather kind of "mentored" the band)to Saxon; a real NWOBHM sound. I love this stuff! "Kill the Pain" is probably my favorite song so far, but they're all good. These guys are now known as just "Deeds",and have a new website at: Deeds Homepage *Got Outlaw Blood for 99 cents + s/h ,and am awaiting its delivery! whiplash1972

Well, maybe I can put some folks minds at ease here. I won the CD "Wanted:Kenny James - Hollywood CA" from broadwaysmusic,and since he/she had a high feedback rating with no negatives, I sent CASH to pay for my purchase. Within a week or so, I received positive feedback,and I received the CD in the mail today;as described! The only shame is that since the seller's account has been suspended, I couldn't leave he/she any feedback. As far as I'm concerned, broadwaysmusic is A-OK! whiplash1972

Man o man, the mailbox yielded a lot of new listenin'! Currently spinning here: Kinki Stunt - S/T (Only 7 songs, but good stuff!) Dirty Deeds - Danger of Infection - Real World Wanted - Hollywood CA Paul Shortino/JK Northrup - Back on Track (Shortino's one of my faves!) Mennen - Circle of Live whiplash1972

Let's see, been listening to: Wanted - Over the Top (Norwegian band doing glam...not bad!) Nine 24 - 6-Pack (Think Bulletboys x American Dog) Shag - S/T (Still listenin' to this one Captain Howdy! The band name does seem funny,especially when ya think of Austin Powers...."Shall we shag now, or shag later?" Funny shit! ) whiplash1972

I must be psycho, I knew you'd been listening to that! whiplash1972

You sure its the same band? I wasnt aware of a second album being released (although I am aware or an earlier band from Seattle called just Scream). Any info on this album would be appreciated! Yep, same band, with vocalist Billy Fogarty replacing Corabi who'd left to join the Crue. The CD was never released due to Hollywood Records going bankrupt in late '93/early '94. The track listing is(in no particular order, since it was never officially released): 1. Ain't Got Nothin' 2. Another Rock 3. Comin' Down 4. Get it Together 5. Good Lookin' Out 6. It's a Long Way Down 7. Kick Back 8. Kool world 9. Love Can Conquer Anything 10. Miss Thang 11. One Foot in the Grave 12. What You See You can usually download the entire CD at : www.racerxband.com/scream but the Racer X website is being re-done right now...hopefully when they get back up and running, the sound files will return. whiplash1972

I think you'll enjoy the Poorboys MJ! As Charvel pointed out, they are HIGHLY underrated;I'd never even heard of 'em 'til I saw them here on HH! Solid CD from start to finish! whiplash1972

Been listening to : Shag - S/T (I've seen 'em called a cross between early Van Halen & Aerosmith...I'll make it simpler...think of the Bulletboys singing Aerosmith songs....this is a REALLY good indie CD,glad I picked it up) Mennen - Back to the Real World (Heavier than their S/T debut,but still melodic...can't go wrong with Joss Mennen) Dokken - Rares,B-Sides, Acoustics This is a homemade "mix" cd that I did...track listing: Back For the Attack Deep Waters How Many Lives If the Good Die Young Upon Your Lips Sign of the Times Only Heaven Knows (GREAT Song from the Japanese version of LWH) Dancin' {the Irish Song} Let it Be True I'm Eighteen Tell Me True I'll Say Goodbye (Herman ze German) Destiny(Herman ze German) Slippin' Away (Grand Piano Arrangement) Dream Warriors (Acoustic) Walk Away (Acoustic) The George Lynch Blues (Live w/Tesla) whiplash1972

"Rock On" and "Heat it Up! Burn It Out!" are 2 of my favorite "hair band" songs of all time....they freakin' ROCK! "What goes up,ain't never comin' down....hey-ey-ay-ayyy...rock on...ROCK ON!" whiplash1972

Let's see... been listening to: The Poorboys - Pardon Me Dokken - Erase the Slate Mennen - Back to the Real World Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Trouble Is... whiplash1972

Would definitely include The Poorboys - Pardon Me as a favorite "cheap" disc now. Great bluesy hard rock in the vein of the Black Crowes,with a touch of twang! Picked it up for $1.99 offa eBay,and am VERY glad I did. Shame the Poorboys got lost amidst the grunge onslaught....good band. whiplash1972

I know for a lot of folks here at HH, hunting down rare/obscure CDs is a passion(one that I'm getting into slowly as the wallet permits ),but what about the other end of the spectrum? What are your absolute favorite CDs that you've picked up at eBay, Half.com,Amazon, etc... for around $5 or less. Those little gems that were overlooked for whatever reason, but provide some serious bang for the buck music wise? Here are some of my favorite "El Cheap-os" Radio Active Cats - S/T Katmandu - S/T Disturbance - We Come Out At Night Rockhead - S/T Little Caesar - S/T Jet Red - S/T Victory - Culture Killed the Native The Screaming Jets - All For One Jesse Strange - S/T What are some of everyone else's favorite cheap finds? whiplash1972

Been listening to : Talon - S/T GREAT! Voxen - Sacrifice (Same band as Talon except for the vocalist;their first CD was good stuff too!) Mennen - S/T (Can't get enough of this one!) whiplash1972

Been on a tear here the last 24 hours! Been listening to: Majesty - Open Your Eyes (Indie band kinda similar to Dokken;good stuff) Vice - Second Excess (From what I've been told, the first Vice release is actually BETTER! If that's the case, I gotta get it, cause Second Excess ROCKS!) Mennen - Mennen (Joss Mennen's group he formed after Zinatra...GREAT melodic metal!) Dr. Sin - Shadows of Light (Gotta check out more from these guys!) XYZ - Letter To God (Up there with Damn Cheetah & Pyn Siren as one of the best of 2003!) Vicious Mary - Vicious Mary (Melodic metal at its best! Check these guys out if you haven't heard them!) Wild Horses - Dead Ahead (Quite different from Bareback...this one is very bluesy in the Cinderella vein..I like it!) Dokkken - Live From the Sun (Rokken with Dokken! ) Harem Scarem - Higher (The only CD I've gotten recently that I've been disappointed with. People are GUSHING over this one,and I just can't get excited over it...to each his own! ) whiplash1972

Let's see, what's been spinning recently: Damn Cheetah - Primal (AWESOME!) Pyn Siren - Slave to Your Master Silent Force - Infatuator & Empire of the Future The Fear - As Far As the I can C Y&T - Musically Incorrect whiplash1972

Let's see,been listening to these this week: LA Blues Authority - This CD features hard rockers such as George Lynch,Fred Coury,Billy Sheehan,etc. doing blues songs. Im surprised at how much I'm enjoying this! Rough Cutt - Live Damn, this is one rockin' live CD! Funny Money - Skin to Skin Pretty good from start to finish *Been listening to a lot of Silent Force & Dr. Sin MP3s this week as well. whiplash1972
