Heavy metal soundtrack awesome

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

I was so bummed that Steve tapped out. Glad he is keeping in touch with you. Vikes are fun to watch. Darnold is surprising.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Greg! Coming back Jan 1

[@vikingbrace]

@@3dimensionsofmusic3D Yeah he’s still around Greg😊. Darnold has been playing way better than anyone anticipated! Thanks for watching

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

@AisForAliceBisForBob Best news. Subbed in anticipation 😆

[@RandarosMusicworld]

Nice bunch of MSG would love haven all these. Laura Cox have a few others outthere at least. That one is cool.

[@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed]

Cool gifts and finds, brother. Josh and Steve rule. I used to love The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Happy Birthday!

[@vikingbrace]

@@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed Thanks brother! That FT is pretty good. Very nice of these guys too👍

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Anthony rules

[@EmbryonicRobot]

It's like the house of Vikings there. You have some wonderful friends. Funkadelic! That is awesome. I have never seen that Boomtown Rats Greatest Hits record before. Very cool finds 🙂

[@vikingbrace]

@@EmbryonicRobot Thanks Brian! I do have some wonderful friends. That’s true whether they ever send gifts or not. The VC is amazing. I’d never seen that BR Greatest Hits either so I had to scoop it up

[@AnthonyGambler812]

Keep warm Gary! SKOL! You know I love Funkadelic! Maggot Brain is so damn good! Eddie Hazel is pure genius! 🎸

[@vikingbrace]

@@AnthonyGambler812 Thanks again brother! Love the blanket. Gotta have some funk!

[@EightVinylLow]

Hey Gary! So many great gifts!!! Maggot Brain is soooo good. “Weird cover but awesome” that’s what they say about me!!! That Fabulous Thunderbirds is also a great release!!! Love Boomtown Rats. HEAVY METAL SOUNDTRACK! Reach Out is such a gem. 🎉

[@vikingbrace]

@@EightVinylLow Thanks Emma! I was surprised how good the FT album is👍

[@EightVinylLow]

@ Me too. Really solid stuff.

[@vinylmartini3377]

Hey Gary, happy belated birthday my friend. Just remember that the birthday celebrations continue for a whole year for the important milestones. Great gifts from Anthony, Josh and Steve. Some nice finds, great to see a new video. The Vikes and the Seahawks play in a couple of weeks, should be a great one. Cheers.

[@vikingbrace]

@@vinylmartini3377 Hey Jack! I think I should be able to celebrate all year once you get to this age lol. Nice guys these three dudes. Very cool gifts. That Minnesota/Seattle game is going to be tough. I sure wish it was in Minnesota.

[@TheSpiritofVinyl]

Cool Stuff, Nice pickups and some cool birthday gifts. Happy Belated Birthday and Happy Holidays

[@vikingbrace]

Thanks Craig! It was a great weekend. Awesome friends here in the VC for sure

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Great pick ups the laura cox looks bad ass

[@vikingbrace]

@@theflipside-vinylcommunity It’s really good

[@BadEnglishRecs]

I haven't even relised that Gwen Stegani has released new album. I need to listen that! mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@darcyska]

I had never heard of Laura Cox - typed the name in on KZbin and just clicked the first video and WOW! I'm blown away! REALLY going to have to check out more of her stuff and try to find some albums

[@vikingbrace]

@@darcyska She’s definitely on my radar now! Great guitar player and singer. Thanks for watching!

[@thatoldgoatsvinyl]

Heavy Metal is a VC must have soundtrack🍻

[@vikingbrace]

@@thatoldgoatsvinyl It sure is. I remember seeing the original movie at the drive in 😁

[@MelindaMurphy]

Hi Gary! Great gifts. That blanket is so nice. You'll have to let us know if your reissue of Maggot Brain sounds good. I have a reissue from years ago that's just ok. 😄 That Heavy Metal compilation album looks interesting. I have seen it around but I haven't picked it up. I'll have to pick it up eventually when I find a clean copy. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Take care. 🤗🎁🎄

[@vikingbrace]

@@MelindaMurphy Thank you Melinda! Very nice gifts from some great friends. Wasn’t expecting that. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t even made it to listening to the Maggot Brain album yet. It’s next on list. I think you would enjoy the Heavy Metal soundtrack, it’s a nice compilation. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@Americanasam1994]

Great looking throw there!

[@vikingbrace]

Thanks! I was surprised to get that. Vikings are getting ready to break my heart again, I’m sure lol

[@onmyturntable7036]

Great stuff, Gary! Universal and James Whale were the masters of horror movie making in that golden age. Had no idea the Fab TBirds were still making music. I'm with you there on the Boomtown Rats. Heavy Metal Sdtk-nice. 😎🎶

[@vikingbrace]

@@onmyturntable7036 James Whale was definitely a visionary. I didn’t realize Thunderbirds were still putting out albums either, until I saw it. Thanks Ed!

[@onmyturntable7036]

@vikingbrace Welcome! Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday, Gary! 🎄🎶🥂

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Your welcome brother

[@vikingbrace]

@@theflipside-vinylcommunity Thanks again!

[@zeppearl]

Hey Gary , cool gifts !!! I did not know the T-Brids were still recording. Can't go wrong with the Heavy Metal soundtrack...nice one cheers !!!!

[@vikingbrace]

@@zeppearl Thanks Vance. I can’t believe I didn’t have the HM soundtrack before this but just always found bad copies. I love to see old bands release new material.

[@benrankins4446]

I would love that monsters book & very generous of Anthony. I have a box set which has all of those classic black & white monsters films. It's got the Bela Lugosi Dracula films, the Frankenstein films, Wolfman, The Mummy & The Invisible Man. "That wasn't as nice as I thought" 😂 Maggot Brain is incredible. Eddie Hazel...what a geetar player! Boomtown Greatest Hits would be all I need too. I don't know that Heavy Metal record but I am perplexed how the mighty Devo ended up on there with all of those hard rock & metal legends. Nice work Gazza. Cheers...Ben

[@vikingbrace]

@@benrankins4446 I didn’t realize you like those old horror movies Ben. Well the Heavy Metal is a soundtrack to the movie of same name. The movie was inspired by the “Heavy Metal “ magazine, which wasn’t really even about music. Just fantasy, humor, and boobs.

[@benrankins4446]

@ Fantasy, humour & boobs…so it’s an Ingmar Bergman film 😂

[@JeffMcCormack777]

Wow, that Universal Monsters book looks amazing, I appreciate that too. I have had the mega bluray UM complete set in my wishlist forever. Was talking to someone the other day about it actually. Very cool Schenker stuff. I have all of that stuff. I am a much bigger MSG fan than UFO, but love them both. To answer your question, Gwen is dreaming about me. :)

[@vikingbrace]

@@JeffMcCormack777 lol I was going to say she was dreaming about me but backed out. That’s awesome that you’re a fan of the UM too Jeff. There’s a few of us out there evidently 😁. Great gifts from all three of these gentlemen. Hoping to see Michael again next year. Merry Christmas!

[@LowNoiseJasonSkilz]

Sick Funkadelic! I need to find an OG of that some day. Pricey though. Nice VCLTs. Cheers man. Happy Holidays

[@vikingbrace]

@@LowNoiseJasonSkilz Hey there Jason! Yeah the reissue will suffice me on MG loll. Nice to hear from you. Happy Holidays!

[@MickeyMaffei]

Hey Gary! Haven't seen your videos on my recommended for a while but happened to come across this one. Awesome gifts, especially love the monster book. Totally jealous haha!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season ahead.

[@vikingbrace]

@@MickeyMaffei Thanks Mickey! I totally get the videos not coming up. I have that issue with several people too, including you sometimes. Hope all is well!

[@MGKBOSTON]

Hi Gary! I only have one album by Funkadelic, and it’s called Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow. It’s far out. Every time I see Maggot Brain it’s either beat up or overpriced. Maybe I should get a reissue for a reasonable price. I love the Fabulous Thunderbirds, but wasn’t aware they were still putting out music. Never seen that Boomtown Rats hits package until now. Stewart Copeland is a great drummer, just as you said. I have most of the early Genesis releases. I have a CD copy of the Heavy Metal soundtrack. Awesome! 🎸🐈✌️

[@vikingbrace]

@@MGKBOSTON Hey Mike I was going to mention you during that Fabulous Thunderbirds album because I think you would like this new album!

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Gary…, great stuff. The Fabulous Thunderbirds would be an awesome listen. Laura Cox is new to me. Need to check her out. Merry Christmas my friend.

[@vikingbrace]

@@twofromthetrunk9932 I’m pretty sure you would like Laura Cox. Kind of an old blues-rock feel. Some nice gifts from some of my buddies. Thanks Tony and Merry Christmas to you

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Nice stuff Gary! Now I'm in the mood to watch Frankenstein

[@vikingbrace]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob Thanks again! It’s been awhile since I watched that first one🤔

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

@@vikingbrace Quite sure last time I saw it I was in the early 80's when I got cable and no longer confined to 3 or 4 stations.

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Good morning bro

[@vikingbrace]

@@theflipside-vinylcommunity Good morning!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Lol

[@Foul_Quince]

Don't be so harsh on Gwen: here in my part tropical of the world, you chuck poly sleeves out and go paper. Poly Sleeves and constant high humidity aren't supposedly a good long-term mix. GS is just showing some consideration to us jungle dwellers!

[@vikingbrace]

@@Foul_Quince Ah well there you go, learning something new again. Of course here it’s about 25 degrees Fahrenheit currently 😁

[@fizzlebomber674]

why would a pop artist want to make country music? baffling. usually the country artists wanna go pop. Not impressed with anything gwen has done in probably 15 years.

[@vikingbrace]

@@fizzlebomber674 I suppose I wasn’t too impressed with her last solo album. This new one might have a few country elements, but I wouldn’t call it a country album. Thanks for watching!
