Scores From The Record Store - 20 CDs!!

[@darrenbradly2702]

So fun!

[@Isacjacobmaleh]

Brendon I just woke UP and saw your vídeo... IT gave me a lot of energy... Thaaaaaaaanks bro!!!

[@TaipanOfficial-i4h]

Hi Brendon, always enjoy seeing what music you pick up from the record shops, your collection just keeps growing, was looking forward to you checking out some very good 80's HM bands from Australia you might not have previously discovered. some you know like Mortal Sin have solid albums but there's lots more bands that are worth finding out about. keep up the good work..

[@JJ-ez3tr]

Love “finds” videos. Appears that many used CDs now are sealed by the store. I don’t like that because I cannot inspect it. Where do you stand on that in general?

[@HåkonOdinsson]

Personally, if it was sealed, I would be expecting it to be scratch free on the disc, in other words, no damage at all

[@Rock-Music-Discoveries]

Great video Brendon and some nice CDs that you have picked up there. Sargent Fury have a 3CD box set on Divebomb Records with the albums Still Want More, Little Fish and Turn The Page. Cool band. Also glad you’re getting into Axxis - I have most of their albums. The older ones in jewel cases but many of the newer ones I have are in the DigiPak packaging.

[@darrenbradly2702]

I love music first. Collecting music has become a fantastic hobby.

[@gr8tnowwhat]

Great store, I visit family near there and I always hit that place. I dont think I ever walked away with less than a dozen cd's. Always good finds. Some good food nearby too!

[@NormanDoll-rr6lh]

I've noticed that Frontiers Records is putting out a lot more metal now than they used to. I'm all for it as long as they keep pumping out that classic AOR sound

[@bigdave9269]

Jack’s is a fantastic place!!!!! One of the few things I miss about NJ!

[@vincentst.george9035]

When you were describing Axxis I thought of Edguy and that's what you pulled out next. 😊 Just recently got into Edguy, definitely a cool band.

[@vincentst.george9035]

Axel Rudi Pell is a favorite of mine, I have 34 of their CDs. The Gioeli work is probably my favorite but there are really some great tracks from the early releases too.

[@Sarge_72]

Digging the power metal…. Love me some Sabaton, Tyr, Powerwolf, Civil War, etc Possible to list the CDs and the genres when you do these ? Helps me build a ‘buy list’ Found Anthony’s store because of you & now I need to try out Music Connection! I’m in Northern NJ (Morris county) so lot of these stores are close! Cheers!

[@gideonlapidus8996]

Brendan I think you have more cd,s then the record store already 😂

[@BrendonSnyder]

I wish….no, I really do wish that I had as many as the record store! 😂😂😂😂

[@bradmetz2206]

If you haven't check out a band called Big Wreck. Such an amazing band. If you have heard of them what do you think???? Love you're music episodes keep them coming

[@theglavine]

I never listened much but 'The Oaf' was a killer song no one would forget !

[@carolinemathieson6325]

Hi Brandon I really enjoyed watching your videos. I love Alice Cooper. My name is Caroline Mathieson from Australia

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hi Caroline, did you see my recent Best & Worst albums episode that focused on Alice Cooper, see link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXq3fqh_a6mZgbssi=_RH_Fdd4wz0GDqU4

[@stevedaughertyjr1184]

Cool shirt Brendon! State of euphoria is my favorite album with the first singer.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Joey Belladonna was the band’s second singer. The first album had Neil Turbin. 👍

[@IraSiegel]

Cool Anthrax shirt too. 🤘🏻

[@lowdz68]

I was a fan of Axel Rudi Pell but after a few albums I realised that every album is identical in style and pacing. The first one is still my favourite. I lost track of Gotthard after the singer, Steve Lee, died. Will have to revisit them. I love Edguy. Tobias just gets it. On the Avantasia albums he writes songs that suit the singers. He revitalised Geoff Tate. I loved HEAT with Erik Gronwall, just can't get into the other singer. I got the Thunderhead best of on your recommendation and really enjoyed it. Tony Mitchell lives locally to me. I actually saw them shooting the photo for the album sleeve for Kiss Of The Gypsy as I just happened to be in the place they were shooting. Didn't know who they were at the time but could see they were a band. Saw them live several times as they supported everyone back in the day. Chris Laney - that album is reallly good. He is an excellent producer too - he produced the excellent Crazy Lixx New Religion album. He was also involved in the Lockdown At The Movies songs and albums where they covered 80s and 90s film soundtrack songs.

[@mikem.7921]

I'm a huge ARP fan and the warrel Dane material is excellent as well.

[@darrenferme1407]

Brendon you really need to check out Nevermore...was into them from the beginning back in the day...amazing progressive metal band with exceptional musicianship...King Diamond and Merciful Fate too sooo good ❤from Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺

[@bigdave9269]

Backyard Babies are fantastic!!! Love those guys. I have their catalog and haven’t had an issue with any of them. The Hazzerd release that just dropped is incredible. Axel Rudi Pell another…… he has the never ending catalog!!! If you’re digging Axxis…. Check out the Barnhard Weiss solo record!!! Gotthard and Edguy!!!! Exciting to hear someone talk about these bands. The bands from Sweden, Finland. Switzerland, Denmark have been on fire… love that area of the world for rock and metal. Zan Clan!!!!!!! The dude from Shotgun Messiah!! Love those records. Good stuff!!!!

[@Kydchannel23]

I wish i had a store like that out here, at most when i visit my brothers i go to half price books and find a few good CD'S.

[@Kydchannel23]

I agree with King Diamond, they clicked for me about a few weeks ago.

[@xgriff_ins_klo9877]

Try to check out some old stuff from Stormwitch and Gravestone from Germany! Not easy to get, even here in Germany. Absolutely worth a try! Thx for your Videos from the south of Germany!

[@irishflink7324]

Hi Brendon music change in time the older you be your music taste changes that's just natruell

[@vincentst.george9035]

Gotthard is a great band (from Switzerland), Lipservice is fantastic. Their last release was in 2020 but are slated to release Stereo Crush this spring. 🤘

[@quolizzy1554]

Brendon such a fantastic holiday find. I have which I hope isn't too offensive for you, a question non the less, and no malice intended. But I have noticed on recent videos, that you are storing your cds on top of other cds flat, mainly I assume because you are running out of shelf space. My question is where will you store all the cds you purchase once the shelves can no longer harbour anymore? Its currently looking like your going to be in that situation very soon. I ask this question because I too have a habit of buying cds even though my house is full of them, and I constantly get lectured from my girlfriend, that what will I do when our house is full of cds and vinyls. But mostly cds. Can you please explain this as I need to know as we both seem in the same situation. Will you perhaps hire a lock up which might mean a walk or drive away from your property? When do we stop buying cds and need a cull on this? Oh and one final question, if you were stranded on an island with only 10 albums to play, what would they be?

[@BrendonSnyder]

Only 4,500 of my more than 13,000 CD collection is displayed on the shelves. The rest are stored as I always have which is in modified boxes that each hold 90 CDs and stack. I have walk-in closets with the boxes. As for Desert Island picks I made a video on this topic, see link kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWjMo6J5o7Snr6csi=hEYIDauTt8iLCQM7

[@quolizzy1554]

​@@BrendonSnyder wow thats an impressive collection. Ok thanks I will check out the desert island link. 👍

[@JaredLitherland]

Brendon - When you find a jewel case edition of a CD, do you sell the digi-pack? I’m guessing no, because it sounds like you keep everything.

[@jimmycampbell78]

That's a good question, I'm intrigued to find out too.

[@BrendonSnyder]

No, I tend to give them away or keep them for the car. Places just don’t pay enough for used CDs to make it worth my while selling them.

[@MetalAsylumNJ]

Axxis, nice

[@robbean284]

That Warrel Dane album is great. Also get his album Praises to the war machine,its awesome. Also if you like Sanctuary, the latest one called The year the sun died is a GREAT album, especially the songs The Dying age and Arise and purify.

[@TheDravensixx]

As someone who hits up different music stores maybe you can answer a question. Do any of the stores you've visited still carry patches or buttons? There are barely any stores close by me and they don't have anything, miss being able to get stuff like that. I work with a seventeen year old metalhead and is bummed that everything seems to be online only these days. He is also a cassette junkie and recently bought an original walkman, the kid is such a rarity lol Thanks for the great content!!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Anthony’s record store Sound Exchange in Wayne NJ carries patches, buttons, and stickers. You can email Anthony at [e-mail]

[@TheDravensixx]

Thanks!! Will definitely hit him up

[@MetalAsylumNJ]

H.E.A.T II is one of the best hard rock albums from the last five-ten years. Always in the playlist

[@ivostoyanov4850]

Gotthard is very very popular band in Europe plus Edgay i saw them in Germany middle late 90s .You have great recrod store day

[@Raven69686]

Ty for. Mercyful Fate. Check out into the unknown. 9.. RIPS.

[@glennjulien-fg2eu]

Conspiracy and the eye are must own king diamond albums!

[@Kydchannel23]

Sargant Fury has released 3 CD'S, all very rare. The singer fronted Threshold for over 10 years.

[@MKtheC]

Hey Brandon are you ever gonna leave some of that music and media for us to buy?? Slow down buddy and let the rest of us find some good stuff. 😅

[@BrendonSnyder]

You snooze you lose! 😂😂😂

[@darrenbradly2702]

Brendon, Curious, do you collect blues music?

[@robertbeadle769]

Check out, merciful fate in the shadows.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I have it. And it’s very good!

[@FELME1965]

Its the same with me,I become obsessed when I regret not having purchase a particullar CD

[@adkleiner]

There are some albums that I really don’t like but if I see one used on cd I’ll still buy it. Who knows it might grow on you

[@BrendonSnyder]

Right, I’m the same way. I love to flesh out a catalogue with inexpensively priced used copies…as long as they’re in good shape mind you.

[@LeahparRebreg-h5d]

Gotthard is a Swiss (hard) rock band that named itself after the Gotthard Pass (mountain) which connects the german and the italian parts in Switzerland. The mountain anc actually the band is pronounced like "Got hard".

We discover a lot of things !

[@Unabomber2]

Backyard Babies. Great band, I have all theirCD’s. Way better than the Hellacopters. Total 13 was the first CcD I bought, back in 1998 when it was released. I know them for over 25 years.

[@jasonstatham3703]

🤘🎧🤘🎸🔥

[@captainbeyond7469]

Sergeant Fury must be Sensational AlexHarvey Band fans. Their name comes from a stellar track off the spectacular Impossible Dream album by Alex and the boys. Cheers from The Captain. 🍺

[@BrendonSnyder]

I suspect they’re Marvel fans of the comic Sergeant Fury and the Howling Commandos published for 1963-1981. Part of the Captain America story line.

[@captainbeyond7469]

@ Thanks don’t follow comics you’re probably right. Great SHAB song nevertheless. Really enjoying all your content and your appearances on SOT wonderful to see how much your channel has grown since I first subscribed some time ago. Well done. 👍

[@BrendonSnyder]

Thanks Captain! It’s always good to see you when your ship is docked!

[@captainbeyond7469]

@ 👍

[@darrenbradly2702]

I've lost sleep over cracked jewel cases. Is that a sickness?

[@SundayMorningRunner]

Mitch Ryder performance at Rockpalast 79 is legendary. Check it out.

[@tapanim6576]

😎👍

8:00 I have Diesel and Power from Backyard Babies

[@Isacjacobmaleh]

Brendon I just bought the album Axxis - Utopia... Man this is killer Power Metal stuff!!! Many Thanksssssssssssss!!!

[@BrendonSnyder]

My pleasure! Glad you’re enjoying the band as well!

[@MartyDeMichele-j6e]

Sargant fury has another album more glam metal but really good

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’ll try and hunt it down because I’m enjoying this one.

[@Eric-v6w5u]

IScores from the records topic, please more stuff styles like this!/ Europe & frontiers recods has the finest Metal❤❤❤❤/ inside out records has finest progressive power metal music, check out massacre recods, cool metal label, metal blade label is good too, nuclear blast label has some cool metal.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Every week on Wednesdays I post New Music Finds episodes that run through my weekly music scores. Tune in for more of the same!

[@mikem.7921]

Don't break the oath from mercyful fate is just perfect and Abigail from king

[@fredrikjohnsson5203]

Chris L, are in Pretty maids, and own a studio,

9:50 the power of Alice Cooper

[@tarkus7561]

You collect but do you play?

[@BrendonSnyder]

What would be the point to collect and not play?! 🤦‍♂️

[@SatanStoleMyDevilHorns]

I have tried so many times, but I just cannot get into King Diamond's goofy-sounding falsetto.

[@vikknyc741]

Kind of shock that you don't know about Backyard Babies 😮way better then The Helicopters also check out their cover of the Faster Pussycat song Babylon 😉

[@BrendonSnyder]

Why? The Hellacopters are a way bigger band. I’ve been aware of the Backyard Babies but they’re more on the punk side of things so until I had a reason to really check them out like through Dregan I just didn’t. That said, I already have the album Tinnitus in my collection.

[@vikknyc741]

@BrendonSnyder The Album Total 13 blows away anything by The Helicopters 😁🤘🤘

[@Lazerrus]

LoL 😂

[@MarcDurain]

Axxis = Scorpions + AOR.

[@jpcastrianni]

I don’t get the digipak hate.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Because when they get beat up or damaged like if the plastic tray breaks, you have to replace the whole album. But with a jewel cases edition, if the case gets damaged or the tray breaks, I can just replace the jewel case and don’t have to buy the album again. Plus there is nostalgia for jewel cases. It’s how they were originally released. Digipaks popped up in the early 90’s. At first they were unique and kind of collectible, but now everyone does it and it’s lost its charm.

[@jpcastrianni]

@@BrendonSnyderYou don’t have to buy a new album. You can just place the CD in with the broken teeth. It’s not as secure, but that’s not really a big deal. You can always just put it in a jewel case. The digipak is closer to the LP package.

[@BrendonSnyder]

No I can’t. I’m a collector and like for everything to be perfect and pristine. Think of whatever it is that you’re super passionate about and image it scratched, damaged and broken….wouldn’t that make you mad and upset? You’d want to fix it right? Ok, that’s how a music collector feels about their albums.

[@benedictdonald4338]

Nevermore was 1000x better than Sanctuary and 50000x better than Arch Enemy. Start with their last album “The Obsidian Conspiracy” as it’s their most accessible.

[@BrendonSnyder]

It’s all in what you like I guess. Because I’ve listened to all 3 and feel Sanctuary was the best 👍

[@benedictdonald4338]

@ indeed. It’s all subjective. Dane’s voice was sublime…he’s missed.

[@Fritiofsson]

Nevermore might be harder to get into, but totally worth it! Warrel Dane is my favorite lyricist, and his best lyrics are the Nevermore ones.

[@DavidMadeira29]

Someone still cares, ain't it?!
