[Tom MacDonald: Why Do You Put Your Albums On CD's?]

[@Sawdoff2]

Have you ever thought of vinyl? Alot of people I know are loving that vinyl is making a comeback. I love the hard copies I can hold in my hand. ✌

[@NonpartisanMedia]

I love the fact that they are on CD's.. I get to physically hold them, i get the Autograph on the albums and they sit in my display case with my gaming statues and other collectibles.

[@brantleysalem1237]

So it can't be corrupted and manipulated by the authoritarian "big tech" sphere Edit: Wrote this comment immediately after opening the video, before i heard your answer. - Already bought these two within seconds of the drop & look forward to doing the same on the next album. Much love

[@gregoryhood8112]

I was wondering, if the physical cd/albums are dead, Why are you getting hand cramps and back aches from signing so many. Hehehehe You two are awesome. Stay true to what you are doing and 40 Years from know they will be talking about you like we do today about AC/DC and others.

[@davekeith3205]

This guy is the GOAT

[@amandaw.3994]

I remember as a kid whenever I used to get a new cd I would sit there listening to it with my headphones on reading the lyrics along with each song. I have bought so many cds through the years that I have ran out of places to put them so most albums these days I get digital for that reason but there are still some artists that I buy the physical copies for. Ordered both of your new albums and looking forward to listening to them.

[@evrambles5835]

I love CD's I can't wait to get my package set.

[@63kimmike]

I still love playing my cd’s

[@garybrown7047]

Cds still sale all over Amazon and oz music in Tuscaloosa Alabama and f.y.e in the mall in Huntsville Alabama

[@norm70]

I would happily pay double to buy your entire collection......AGAIN. I love your morals Tom. Respect!

[@rosielowry9279]

Please don't get rid of them I'm old school I love the CDs.

[@ny2979]

Old school!!! I miss buying CDs

[@slyraven1128]

Preach it!! 🖤🔥🖤 I absolutely LOVE that you have physical copies instead of just digital. It's a more intimate experience, not to mention that we can get them autographed!! I've never had a full collection of signed albums before (minus Death threats, I'll have to catch a show for that), and it's something I'm going to be proud to pass on to my kids one day just like my Daddy did with his Beatles collection for me.

[@neverfeartruth6460]

Hopefully you got a chance to grab your Autographed Deathreats for Black Friday? Or just wait for a show? It might be a while with the pandemic getting worse in a lot of places and also not sure if you know about the Nova effect and issue or not?!✌ #HOG4EVER

[@babybird64]

Amen Tom!! I would rather have the music in hand. You keep doing you. I can't wait for my order to come. Music is my therapy. #babybird. Much Love and RESPECT from Minnesota!!🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️💜❤️💜

[@whiteymccracker921]

Thank you Tom! I still want to listen to my music and play my video games and watch movies if the internet is down.

[@valsigman8971]

I actually prefer CD's.

[@seanxxx8999]

Cds have a special place in my heart

[@johnweir2056]

I still like CDs

[@Slaterson83]

CD is good with my 1983 ass. KEEP'EM COMING

[@marianscirrotto5977]

It's okay, even though I'm old and still listen to 8-track, LOL... my two albums have already been confirmed that shipped. I placed my order is 5 minutes after you dropped it and these autographed set were already sold out. Congratulations and much more success to you and Nova

[@williamporteous8421]

You get them tom

[@Helz777]

I am so glad you do. Some of us are living in hell hole regimes, where you cannot get the latest and greatest.

[@nancybishop2764]

💯agree!

[@kaybee8205]

I was that kid who waited outside for the new cd. But I started to feel cheated, one good song overplayed on the radio but the cd so disappointing. I got the 4 cd set and wow. I felt like I'd actually gotten something of value and I thank you for that. Your albums are the work of an artist and that's rare when it all feels like the same thing regurgitated over and over by a machine. I have a lotta respect for you. Getting the 2 new ones soon and excited like I was a kid again

[@rosiereed1469]

Thank you for making your music for us. I am proud I am part of hangover gang. HOG4LIFE

[@joshuakennedy1507]

Bro I love the fact you still do hard copies. I like owning my copy not like the digital copy companies saying they own it and you are just borrowing it.

[@terriquertermous]

I love your cds I live in the country if I don't have internet on my phone I can still jam your music

[@vixxenfox2682]

I must say Tom knows how to make a album. Dude puts more then 15 songs on the things. Now that's how you do it! 👏

[@bradmarsh9771]

Bring on the CD's!!!!! Love you Tom! When I can I'm getting the rest of his albums

[@SynergEbooks]

That's exactly how I feel when I listen to your music - that it's an EXPERIENCE!! And we're SO missing that sort of thing right now. (And as a woman who had her own publishing business for 20 years, who got pushed out by the big guys like Amazon - who decided to publish books instead of just selling them - I think it's incredibly awesome for someone as successful as you are not to give these corporations a piece of your success. They certainly don't deserve it.)

[@YushaRama]

Can't wait to get your wonderful music. I ordered at 9:30 am the day it dropped. I was working but I would of got them the minute it dropped.

[@patrickberkey8873]

Big dog, thank you for being you and making the music you make without the music Industry. You are part of changing things for the better for the people who love music. Person to person. I love introducing people to you and Nova. Physical music has the greatest value. Holding a peice of music history.

[@t2theori143]

I actually just bought a new used car and I do have a cd player in it! I know what you mean I love CDs ! Embarrassingly enough I had to start my cd collection all over. NF clouds cd and tomorrow I will have yours to add. Im so excited!!!! Feels like Christmas! Come on 9 o clock!

[@CanadaBossBabe]

This made me cry, ur so humble. Pure heart. So much love for you

[@momof3333]

Your Awesome!!!!!

[@ap1067]

Thanks Tom, and Nova for your music!

[@elizabethboggess854]

Thank you thank you so much for all your hard work may you and Nova always be blessed 💞

[@winst0n888]

HOG treats these autographed CD's like treasure. To be able to touch something tangible that Tom has personally touched is what makes the albums special. Remember technically all of this music is unreleased according to todays standards. If digital services wants to promote these songs without censorship, then I see no problem with them releasing them in a digital form. But HOG will always want their autographed physical copies.

[@brittanykissner3721]

I always buy two autographed CD’s when he releases a new album. One that I listened to and one to tuck safely away.

[@seanbeechey]

Bought x2 signed double albums.. from UK love everything you stand for 🤙🏻

[@ummno9504]

I just ordered your CD I am so excited. Thank you Tom and Nova

[@terrywalker3290]

👏👏👏👏 tell them Tom, HOG for life brother 🤘

[@bradleyflottemesch9928]

Still waiting on mine! Can't wait to get them in my car! I love 💿

[@Citi7en]

I so agree with your idea of putting your music on physical CDs. I ordered my copies when they dropped. It’s an honor to have autographed CDs to hang onto. It’s something tangeble and real. I’m tired of the download services. I’m an indie artist too and agree that these streaming services have abandoned their original idea of supporting independent artists. They have become their own label and pick and chose who they want now. You worked hard to bulid your music and I think it’s cool you did this. I can respect the hours you guys have spent on the songs, videos, social etc You’re amazing and all your hard work has helped you build an amazing HOG family! I’m proud to support you guys!

[@jenjensage7242]

I prefer physical cds more than digital music. If shtf I know that I still have my cds and batteries. 😁✌🏻

[@truckerenoch8824]

I like having my music on cd, because it's really easy for them to block or delete digital files that they might consider "dangerous". Also, in a shtf scenario, data will either be really expensive, or unavailable. It will be important for us to have good music and movies to hand down.

[@shock3955]

Hell yeah Tom. We already get music and videos on the platforms. If people are to selfish to buy your cd’s then I feel their not true HOG!! True HOG’s push and push because we feel we are part of something huge. Ya’ll have worked to damn hard to give in now. We got you bro. HOG4EVER.

[@gachaluna2708]

I 100% love how real you keep everything. The way you treat your lovely girl Nova. The way you approach real situations that other people are afraid to even talk about. The way you control your situation no matter how hard it is. Keep doing it man.

[@jeremeysmelltoast7829]

Fuck yeah !

[@jaysonmcdanielakathalif3r17]

Tom Your A Genius Sir … Fuggin GOAT 🐐 Thank You 🙏🏼 For All Your Aura Brings The 🌎 #LIF3R

[@neverfeartruth6460]

I've been a fan and a part of HOG since 2014 Album LeeAnn's Son while Tom was still in Canada, I have argued with people on all platforms from the time Tom popped and dropped Deathreats how easy it was to get a USB CD Drive from Amazon, or they know someone who probably has a CD player in their computer, car, Xbox or wherever! Hell even with this release I told people who were bitching about it saying how no one has CD players anymore that my wife and I just bought our 2022 Chevy SUV and it came with a CD player, so stop with the LAZY EXCUSES! Tom is doing things the HIS WAY, THE RIGHT WAY Business wise and also building HOG! I know Tom thinks it's special as do I, to have Tom autograph my Albums with his own 2 hands and ship them to my 2 hands, no one else has the right to touch these Albums! Tom and HOG made these Albums together! Hell I just saw the KZbin breakdown king Knox Hill release his Album digitally on iTunes for $10 for 10-12 songs and thought to myself after iTunes takes their $5.00 per Album! How much money is Knox going to actually make for all the LONG days & SLEEPLESS nights making his album? NOTHING! I'm glad Tom does things this way! I own EVERY Album of Tom's as well as the collab Albums with: Deathreats, Ghostories, Gravestones, Flowers for the Dead FRAMED! And NOW the start of a new chapter with the newest Albums! #HOG4EVER

[@BrendanTripp]

Hey, I'm glad you put your albums on CD ... except for KZbin, I never listen to digital music (Boomer, OK), but I have a small stereo on my desk.

[@vanishingpoint5561]

Only got turned onto you & Nova a couple of weeks ago by Stefan (Sanity4Sweden), who recommended 'Brainwashed'. He's a '59er, like me, so plenty of musical appreciation for the various genres, but, until now, very little rap turned me on. Totally get owning the physical copy over the soulless digital that can't be touched, cherished or pick up the odd scratch. Bruce Willis was fucked off when he found out that his digital collection wasn't inheritable by his son. Anyhoo, all the best to you & your lady from the English side of the pond.

[@MasterTapes1960]

Tom - You & Nova need to create your own Independent label.

[@heathergoji]

Sweet man, take a break with Nova. Well deserved. Come to Houston and gain 15 pounds from the good food. I'm thankful for the CDs and even the Amazon downloads.

[@eligonzales2330]

I understand completely what your doing. What if somehow you make your own streaming service? Even if it's on the HOG website? Made by you and Nova and no one to get in the way.

[@cfshi62]

Have you ever thought of going to vinal albums with lyrics and graphics included??

[@danielleczinsky1868]

Fuckin' A bro your the best

[@nwafab5335]

And it isn't edited to shit by Kanen's thank you Tom - a majority of us understand

[@davekeith3205]

Yo yo yo

[@DenneyJay]

Any chance on your music on Vinyl?

[@davidphillips5390]

😎👍

[@garyeason8474]

Keep doing it the way you are bro.i don't understand some of these questions they are asking you.dont they realize you have done your homework.and you always have said why should we help someone that could care less helping you.

[@tommacdonaldarchive2561]

Well said

[@winstonmontgomery8211]

Tom does sell singles on ITunes

[@sirtigalotwolfe2962]

I want the CD's not for them so much as to know that YOU get it ALL! F' the music industry... Tom Petty Tried to Fight them many artist did... I support You and all like you... I am only wondering how many albums you have sold. As for me, yeah I rip all my cd's to mp3 so I can keep the cd's in mint condition for oops or whatever. Do I feel bad about copying cd's to mp3 NO, I did pay for them and only do for personal use.

[@danrdgreen]

I need vinyl not cd 😭 😫

[@KevinSmith-bt7dv]

I love your music and will buy the c.ds because I want to support you . But I found your music on a stream service and give your views to helping your songs hit 1 one on a streaming service . So I don't think it's fair to say streaming services have done nothing for you . I listen to the songs that are available on Spotify every day because I love the songs . I hope you make money from it . Either way it's your choice on what you want to do . But out of convince I would love the album's on Spotify . But I'll get them when I can afford them. Best of luck .
