I like digital for its compactness for when I'm on the go, but I also like CD/Vinyl because I like to have a physical copy of my music in my hand. If I can physically hold my music, it feels more permanent.

[@813lynch]

Same here.like all my music i own,some are burned cds or amazon mp3 downloads but i prefer the artwork & the official-ness of the real product.so if i burn a cd or download a few songs on my ipod that's to get me into it. I always buy cds or vinyl if it's not available on cd. Once i own the official i give the burned copy to a friend to get em hooked on the band.i went to a bestbuy last week & there were practically NO cds available,and the ones that were were nothing i emwant. They had no Carcass,Devourment,Buzzoven,Weedeater,Six Feet Under,Un Flames,Mnemic,Skeletonwitch,Bleeding Through,Amorphis. I found 2 cds worth buying BTBAM-Coma Ecliptic & Pink Floyd-Momentary Lapse of Reason

[@deadramaster]

exactly! go to listen to a song, the video has been removed. well fuck now i cant. oh wait i have the album!

[@Unhallowed17]

I definitely prefer vinyl when it comes to the format of choice. Such a satisfying medium on every level, the artwork, the multitude of color combinations, the sound quality (assuming it was properly and specifically mastered for vinyl and preferably analog), and extra goodies like full-size booklets, posters, and mp3 download codes. Absolutely nothing beats a vinyl box set, those are by far the most rewarding and well done releases a collector/fan can own. Unfortunately, vinyls are more expensive (unless you're digging out disco LPs from the bargain bin) than CDs and tapes, hence my CDs outnumber my LPs five to one.

[@3star2nr]

Only one thing beats a box set coloured vinyl

[@existential_sad_boi]

I'm a CD guy myself. I don't have the means for vinyl, but if I did, I'd jump right on it.

[@MrThaiwan]

Thanks for your vids, they're as timeless as old-school death metal. I was in my early 20-ties in the 90-ties, grew up with Sepultura, Death, Morbid Angel, Obituary whom I all had a chance to see at Dynamo Open Air. Always kept listening to a lot of heavy stuff, but lost track of what was coming in new. Now I picked that up again and got some real good advise from your vids. Really cool. Keep it coming. Disparaged is really top, you presented those guys on some vid about their label.

[@ParasiticLarvae]

Don't worry Ed. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Love the videos, the longer the better dude!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks! I am glad you like the videos!

[@mrhoffame]

Just found your channel and subbed!!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@JesusChrist-tg9qn]

He just likes Angry Birds....

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I remember you from our talk on that video. Good choice. You don;t have to spent hundreds of $ at the same time, every sale is support for the scene and the music! Keep up the good work!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Wow, thanks man! I really appreciate those kind words my friend!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

No you will have a hard time ever finding that at a store. However if you will settle for a re-press, that one is sold on the Xtreem music website.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Well you will probably be surprised but yes, that's often the case. Cerebral Bore did not get paid at all for playing on bloodstock, and it cost them a lot to get there. The festival just takes the position of "If you don't want to play here, some other band will"...So a lot of beginning and even progressed bands still play for very little or nothing.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks! I am always glad to hear that!

[@AlexPTGreenFlame]

I'm not really into death metal or any old school metal music, but i really love your videos and the way you see things and deal with them! You are truly an inspiration, many "Metalheads" from Portugal could and SHOULD take you as an example!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks, glad you like it!..

[@JunkyardGod89]

I like how casual your videos are and the lengths are actually a bonus. Short videos sometimes feel rushed, which is a bit frustrating to watch when it's something you're interested in. Anyway, hope you manage to get a record player soon - well worth it!

[@Tachot123]

Yeah that's true. I like to purchase self-released albums via for instance bandcamp for the simple fact that i love to know that most of the money actually goes directly to the artists. Btw, it is just absolutely amazing that you always take the time to respond to most of these comments, especially considering how big your channel is.

[@pyjamas4000000]

Hey, during the video I was thinking about how cool it is of you to do these in your second language to allow as many of us to enjoy you as possible, then you go and talk about it at the end! Thanks so much, you're awesome man, keep it up!

[@bronsonaurisch3005]

hey man ive been listening to metal since i was about 5/6 when i found the album "vulgar display of power" in my brothers room and now im 17 and im always keen to find you bands from any genre in metal. just wanted to say that youve introduced me alot of new bands and made me more open minded towards other individuals. your doing an amazing job man keep up the good work

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Hey! Yeah it's since a little while now. And the stuff I have for sale now there is stuff I have double.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

It might not have been your thought behind it, or with that intention but it is exactly what you're doing. Companies run on sales, just as much as the music business does.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Well so far it's still here. And a lot of people also thought that vinyl was gonna be dead by now and it just gets back more and more...people see the value of having something real instead of some file on a pc again.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Yeah they are still working on new stuff, Their EP is now for sale, plus this shirt

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Ik spreek veel verschillende mensen die muziek kopen en zelfs eigenaren van winkels. In de muziek ligt het toch grotendeels aan de downloaders. Mensen vonden het geweldig om naar een winkel te gaan en lekker muziek uit te zoeken en te luisteren daar ter plekke om wat te kopen. Natuurlijk heeft het online gemak van kopen er ook mee te maken, maar voor de muziek industrie gaat die niet op.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

It's so good to have something in your hands instead of watching at a screen

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I do, that's why sometimes it takes a while for a new video to appear

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Haha well it's not so much yet, but I got 7 new ones in after I uploaded this video..:-p

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Haha, thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

One of my points indeed, and sculptures, and ALL other art.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

From the band, go check their facebook! They also have their EP on a real cd now

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Working on it...45 minutes with music is on the way!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks man, glad you like it!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks for that compliment man!

[@zwetz99]

I'm really impressed by all your color albums. I only have a few but me and my brother get really excited by them and get them when we can. The record store near us is REALY limited on metal and when it shows up it goes quickly, so we have to order most of our stuff. I'm stam gettingto watch all your videos and loving it! Thanks so much for sharing

[@AzhidaReminiec9999]

Ed,I'd like to know what you think of these lyrics Angry Avians The warm weather of spring The eggs have been laid Your friends have stopped by to admire them In the distance are five hungry pigs They're tired of eating grass. The eggs are gone ! Those dirty swine stole them Now yellow bird is seeing right He's looking in the direction of the pigs They won't give them back Never will they return them. Chasing them from segment to segment Level to level,world to world From one seasonal change to another With only one hope in mind The Eggs must be returned! Angry Avians If the bad pigs hadn't stolen the eggs We wouldn't be so irate For those pigs-It's too late !

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Nice going man, how is the new Volbeat?

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Then the best thing you can do is see of what they sell is also on Ebay and try to get it from there.

[@FreakyDude1408]

Hey Ed! You're one of many reasons why I'm proud to be a metalhead! keep up the amazing work you're doing! I just love to see your videos.. :)

[@89cruzzey]

Hey Ed, I think you're videos are great and you inspire me to collect albums as well. Got a pretty good collection so far, thanks man!

[@Lau250896]

There is no need to thank me, man. I want to thank you for being so epic and so supportive in general about the problems that metalheads have in general. You're like our voice, our "Ambassador" in a social way if you get my meaning and what I want to say. In other words, I want to thank you for giving us and teaching us all these lesson in this period of time. Since you started to make videos and became so fucking popular around us. I thank you, Ed. Long live the Infidel!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks!, Glad you liked it!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

It's similar but the impact on the music industry is way different. In the old days people made tapes yes, but it took way much work then just a click on a mouse.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Haven't heard it yet, but thanks for the heads up. I do have their first full length

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

But that code only works for that particular cd, not for other cds. Or do you mean the demigod album

[@infamysaviourx7512]

Dear mother of god the detail on that last drawing is beyond amazing

[@Teloitus]

Holy hell... who have I managed to miss this guy!? He is amazing! Dude, I really have to start watch your videos! Cheers from Finland fellow metalhead and keep your fist up in the air for metal!

[@67TrianglesInARow]

It's always awesome to learn about some bands I haven't heard of before from your channel.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Yeah they're really good, I love Vic records for bringing out the old stuff again

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Besides, Japan is also where Vommit remnants comes from, which is a very good death band.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

The problem is that people like bands and authors need a external institute like a publisher / label to get their stuff printed, as it is very expensive. So most of the money goes back to that investment. Band and authors who do this on their own get more money but it's very costly to do so. Many people think to easy about making music and writing

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

No problem, I try to respond as much as possible to people..;-)

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Well I am already working on the new one and I can tell you, it's not gonna be a quick video again..:-p

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I think that art is more bound to opinions then to definitions. Have you ever had a discussion with someone about modern art? ( which in my opinion often is crap ) people will say it's art, I say it looks as if made by a child. I think whether something is art is bound to people's own opinion. Which I respect. I also think it's art but I respect it when people don't see it that way.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

That's good to hear dude, keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@kingfluffy1979]

Holy fucking shit, this is a monster of a vid! I loved every second of it. I subbed and am going back to watch all of your vids (as well as future ones). It got my metal juices flowing and am so happy I found your page!

[@Patrick_Roach]

You can put them on your mobile devices if you can't find a CD, and with the right sound card you can record them at much higher quality. Either 24bit/96khz or 24bit/192khz, as opposed to the 16bit/44.1khz on a CD. A high resolution file also makes a nice backup because vinyls are far more fragile and vulnerable to CD's. Of course, you can never beat the full, not sliced (sampled) analog sound wave of a vinyl, but you can still have the best of both worlds (analog and digital).

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Hahahahaha, dammit, now I need some three piece suit lawyer..:-p And I am glad you like the video so much, I like sharing good stuff with you guys..;-)

[@Devinmsa]

"Music is what you think it is. There is no definition. Don't take your opinion and make it a definition of the subject." You're amazing Ed. Cheers from NY!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Sure do!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Hell yeah, I am still looking for an EP they once brought out.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Yeah it's a good thing to search around on sites

[@Cthulhudud3]

You have turned me onto Nocturnus... and I thank you GREATLY!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

There's not a lot of places anymore where you can buy cd's or vinyl for that matter. I mostly have to buy from the internet

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Check Ebay and sites like that, some cd's are really cheap to get there

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Some of them are not really expensive, especially on Ebay a lot of sellers sell some great albums for like 10 / 12 euros

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

That depends on the mix and personal taste. I really liked the new Spiritual Healing album

[@Ullrvarg]

Agreed the hikes with earphones. That's amazing. But what I was saying is that listening music in the bus, metro, train isn't the same as listening to music at home. Filling your room with the sound, even though someone is around, or you are alone, and you can head bang freely, or walk, or work, while having the album, the specific sequence of songs and the theme of that specific year of the band is amazing. Using the vinyl or the cd to do it is just ritual, beats mp3 by far. I've 110gb (pirate)

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

None of these bands ask go get rich of it, nor to make a living from it. It's simple, when we buy music, labels earn money, when labels earn money they can sign and support a band to create their music and make cd's. Doing gigs does not automatically means that bands get paid for those gigs. Often they don't actually.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

He'll be back!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Music can come from anywhere, I have heard bands from all over the world and from every country there are good and bad bands.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Remember that the 01 / 02 only applied to the cd I was showing you. Every cd has his own matrix code.

[@MsKalachakra]

If you are a big music fan with a limited budget you have to be a fan of the 3 formats, I buy vinyl from time to time from the 80's and some newer ones that aren't that expensive, for 90's and early 2000's music you need the CD's which are cheaper, I think downloading is ok as long as you try to buy what you really like on physical format and you are willing to spend some bucks on music

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I haven't heard the new devourment yet, but from what I heard from people it's different from their previous work, less slam more straight death metal.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

It's on letter ( A,b,c,d etc )

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Well I have the first album of the faceless. I would advice you to check 'Ad Patres', very good band!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I don't think so, I have most of the CC albums already.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Just like you just said in my other video, why would I care what you think?

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

You are awesome..

[@DamianoFranzosi]

I agree with you about "The Key" by Nocturnus. It is a great album or "a masterpiece" as you said. I almost jumped on the chair shouting when you said that Earache has reprinted it! Thank you for the info. Great video! Cheers from Italy.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I will keep that in mind thanks!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

You mean Spectrum of death from Morbid saint? I have that one on cd.

[@TeggerDude]

really jealous of your collection dude! never knew you could get vinyl in different colours, you learn something new every day!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

That's in the description..

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Nuclear blast dot de has the EP of facebreaker still for sale...

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I mostly buy with the labels and the bands themselves it they have some available.,

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Nice one! You're gonna love that album! Enjoy!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Haha well as long as I am online I might as well respond to people, I think ignoring everyone is rude as fuck. And purchasing self releases is awesome, those things become collectors items once a band is with a label.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Everybody assumes that that will happen, years ago we all thought that vinyl was gonna die soon, and it's getting made more and more. I for some reason doubt that ALL music will once go digital.

[@pyjamas4000000]

There are a lot of genres like that though, a lot of rap (not all) is about girls and money and drugs and fame, pop songs are often about being in love and having fun, rock songs are about doing cool stuff with your friends, and a lot of metal is just as you described. Can't really get away from it, so just listen because it's awesome and you love it!

[@TheSH1N1GAM1]

I love long, rambling videos. Keep them coming!

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Yes to both questions..;-)

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I just pre-ordered the new Immolation records on Vinyl

[@gunslinger7878]

Man you have an excellent taste in music, I'm loving every single band you recommend.

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Not yet but I sure would like to get that one

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Thanks man, I like hearing that!

[@stormbringertv363]

Greetings from GREECE, man!Show the whole World what Metal is...

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

Well I am sorry to say that in a lot of cases the merch is provided by the label so that money also goes back to that label.

[@MilesMetal]

Hey Ed, I was wondering how you feel about albums being remastered. You probably know about the Death albums being remastered as well as The Key by Nocturnus among many others. Do you prefer the originals or think that (sometimes) remasters can ruin an album or even improve it - or are they another way for record labels to make some more money? (that's not a bad thing)

[@InfidelAmsterdam]

I don't talk about mainstream music, I talk about metal. Have you any idea how much money is involved in creating a cd? Who pays all that? The bands themselves? Sometimes a band manages to get some cash together, but mostly the label takes care of that. Prices of an album is often not the fault of the label. I buy cd's from labels from 8$ which is say 6 euros, if a store asks 18 euros for the same cd who's fault is that then? If it's so bad to be with a label then why do bands wanna be with one?
