Fuckin' Maiden geek...

Backed...bad Maiden (though from the 2 songs I've heard I wouldn't consider this a bad album) kicks the shit out of 99% of other band's good stuff anyway. Up The Irons!!!

Problem resolved! I'm back to my 100%... The buyer and I worked out a small erfund for his having to remove any tape residue that was left. Aparently, the box was in the sun or heat or something so the tape got a little stickier than expected. I'm not sure how considering the monitor was Signature In Person, so it wouldn't have been left on his doorstep. Either way, he revised the feedback and it's done. All I've ever asked is that buyers contact me FIRST prior to flying off the handle and leaving a neg for something that's easily fixable

So how much was the refund...seems a little ridiculous to me to ask for a partial refund for some tape residue that could be easily removed. This sounds like feedback extortion to me.

Thanks guys...turns out turning the big 4-0 was relatively painless.

Kick ass video...& I like this song a lot more than El Dorado.

If you are printing your USPS labels through PayPal, which you SHOULD be doing, delivery confirmation only costs $0.19 for 1st Class packages, and is FREE for Priority Mail packages. It's been that way for years. Beats the piss out of USPS counter rates.

I'd love to be able to print my labels through paypal but I don't have access to a printer, so I gotta pay the counter rate. I just pass the fee along to the buyer.

I rarely ship on ebay, but when I do, I charge $4.00 for shipping. I know that ebay caps the shipping at $3.00 (which is bullshit, because you CANNOT ship a cd for $3.00...postage, cost of envelope, & tracking is about $3.75 for me all day long), so I put in my auction descriptions in big, bold, red type that shipping will cost $4.00 & that the extra buck is for delivery confirmation, which is required & non-negotiable. I've only had one buyer who griped about it.

Seller is obviously a dumb ass if he thinks he can get this much.

Shocked that nobody has mentioned this one:

Dokken - Live From The Sun

Great show...great set list...& Reb Beach! His solo during Tooth & Nail is almost worth the price alone.

And no collection is complete without these 2:

Mr. Big - Farewell Live In Japan (this can be picked up for next to nothing. Featuring Richie Kotzen...'nuff said)

Mr. Big - Back To Budokan

$1.15 million? In this real estate market?

Ronnie was one of the best singers in heavy metal...I always preferred his work with Sabbath over Ozzy's. Metal lost one of it's true icons today. RIP Ronnie. You will be missed.

I'm sorry I respectfully disagree ELI is better! Its the best indie out there!

Don't think too many people would agree with you. I've heard Eli & it's good, but not this good. Just my opinion, of course. Maybe we should start a poll.

Rock Boulevard...it more than lives up to the hype. As far as I'm concerned it's the best indie out there.

THE RUMORS ARE TRUE:

JOEY BELLADONNA REJOINS ANTHRAX

"Big Four" Dates with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth Set; New Album Due in 2011

 

 

 

LOS ANGELES, CA - MONDAY, May 10, 2010 --

With rumors swirling since Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and bassist Frank Bello were seen together with former Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna late last month in New York, the band - Benante, Bello, and guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano - is elated to announce that Belladonna has officially rejoined the band. In his once and current capacity, Belladonna will make his first appearance with Anthrax this summer when the band joins Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth - The Big Four founding bands of the thrash genre - to co-headline a series of Sonisphere Festivals in ten European cities, as well as playing a handful of Anthrax-headlined shows (itinerary is below).

 

"I am super excited about this," said Scott Ian. "Joey and the rest of the band came to see me play at a club in New York, I hadn't seen Joey for years, since the end of the reunion tour. Joey taps me on the shoulder, instant big hug, it felt like no time had gone by. The band dynamic is an interesting one - in Anthrax, Joey and I spent so many years of our lives together, we grew up together, we know each other so well, so it was like no time was lost."

 

Belladonna, an essential part of Anthrax's lineup from 1985 to 1992, sang on some of the band's most popular albums including Spreading the Disease, Among the Living and Persistence of Time. He had reunited with original members of Anthrax for the 2005 - 2007 "Among the Living Tour," but this situation is different. Explained Belladonna, "I had been in touch with Charlie and Frank, then I got a call from their manager who said that everyone wanted me back in the band. I thought, 'are you guys for real? You want me up there, fronting the band like it was before?' I was thrilled. We've already started to reconnect with the old ways of having conversations. Everything is easy going and feels really good."

"We're going to do these summer shows and gel as a band," explained Charlie Benante, "get comfortable playing with each other again, and the energy from that should go right into making new music."

Immediately following the final Sonisphere festival in early August, the band will fly back to the U.S. and begin writing and rehearsing for a new album that's expected to be out in early 2011.

"We've got an unusual luxury of hindsight," added Ian. "We finished an album a year ago, we've lived with those 12 songs since then, and we can look back on them and see what we really love and what we can make even better, especially with Joey back in the fold."

Added Benante, "There are five or six songs from a year ago that we don't want to change, we love them the way they are, other than having Joey making them his own with his vocals. Then there's another five or six that we may want to rework, and then there are a bunch of other tunes that are still in the early stages, that we want to finish.

 

"The band has been on an emotional roller coaster since last summer," Benante continued, "but I think everything that we've had to deal with during that time was pushing us toward this, to Joey being back in Anthrax, and the timing couldn't be more perfect or appropriate. To have Joey with us playing these shows with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth is the way it should be - as Anthrax's vocalist from '85 to '92, he was part of 'The Big Four.'"

 

"John was a real stand up guy about the situation," said Ian, about John Bush, Anthrax's vocalist from '92 - '05. "He knew we wanted to move forward at full speed, that we needed a total commitment to Anthrax, and he knew that wasn't what he wanted. We certainly wish John well. We've had so many great times with him, and we appreciate his stepping in last summer at the last minute, and performing with us since then. He will always be an integral part of the Anthrax family."

 

With worldwide sales in excess of 10-million, Anthrax is about to celebrate its 29th year as a band. Over its career, Anthrax has received multiple Gold and Platinum albums, multiple Grammy nominations, and a host of other accolades from the press, industry and fans.

He's in, he's out, he's back in, he's out again, & now he's back...sheesh!

Wouldn't you rather have the music and support the bands no matter what "format" the music is pressed on or just not listen to it at all? I guess I just don't understand that way of thinking... "it has to be silver-pressed or I don't wanna hear it at all". Who cares? The Diamond cd-r's are sold by many different outlets and by bands themselves. Why would you not to want to support the bands? To each his own , but it doesn't make any sense to me.

 

In the 80s , I didn't go out and buy manufactured cassettes that ONLY said CHROMIUM BIAS on them. I didn't buy vinyl that ONLY said Super Audiophile on them. It's crazy that people would rather not enjoy good music because it's a diamond-bottom cd-r rather than a 'silver replicated' disc. The music sounds EXACTLY the same. The inserts are EXACTLY the same. Do you buy a cd for the color of a disc or for the music thats on the disc?

 

Very silly.

I think this subject has been covered ad naseum, hasn't it? Do we really have to get into it again?

But the dvd won't play on a US dvd/blu-ray player, correct? That sucks...& I don't like watching stuff on the computer.

If its region 0 it will play on any DVD player as long as your tv/dvd player supports PAL.

US players only support NTSC as far as I know...

But the dvd won't play on a US dvd/blu-ray player, correct? That sucks...& I don't like watching stuff on the computer.

So when will they release their debut album? C'mon guys, get your shit together and put out an album. Please. Now.

I was just thinking the same thing a couple days ago.

i doubt it will ever happen

Why do you say that? Have you contacted the band?

the only song on the album that sounded like Def Lep Pyro era but man is this song good.

Great song, but it's from "Get It", not "Peace Treaty".

Good for Pink Floyd...they should've won this. Fucking record companies...

Watched the clip...wow, somebody needs to lay off the tubs o' butter!

Lifted from Blabbermouth earlier today - Classic Dokken line-up set to return:

Sunday, February 21, guitarist George Lynch (Lynch Mob, Souls Of We, Dokken) was interviewed by host Jim Alvino on the "Turn It Up" show on the WSCA 106.1 FM radio station. Topics of discussion included new albums by Souls Of We and Lynch Mob; songwriting; recording with other artists; and Lynch Mob's November 2009 West Coast shows as the support act for Dokken. During the chat, Lynch also revealed that he has been writing songs for a new Dokken album with the band's classic 1980s lineup.

An excerpt from the interview follows below.

Turn It Up: The shows that you did at the end of last year, with Lynch Mob opening for Dokken, and at the end the classic lineup of Dokken playing together again, has that now blown up into that lineup working together again?

George Lynch: "Yes, actually it has. And that's something that isn't gonna happen for a little while. We all have our respective commitments, meaning Jeff, Mick, Don and myself are all real busy this year doing other things. But we've all made a commitment to each other to dedicate ourselves to getting back together. We've already got three songs on the table and we're gonna continue to write throughout the year and put the whole business together and probably go in the studio late fall or early winter of this year and then have a record out toward late spring of next year, and then hit the road."

The entire 27-minute interview in which Lynch discusses the new Dokken material offers an update on Souls Of We will be re-aired during "Turn It Up" on Saturday, February 27 at 6:00 p.m. EST.

Guess he missed Dan's post...

My question is when are the fuckers going to release this in the US?
