Mike. Daniel just told me about this video and i am shocked really to be Jesus with all those other great you tubers around me at the table. Its a real honor. Thanks so much for your kind words. I am just amazed about all this. Thabks so mucb. Later tonight i will play this video on my tv for my wife and daughter too. Thanksssss❤

[@doopum1]

Thank you so much for the shout out... you were the first who did when I started! This is very kind and actually does light a fire to do more videos. I have been meaning to start doing more videos again, and if people start watching and comment, maybe I'll start having a regular schedule. Thank you for the kind words and including me. I have a few new channels I need to check out too! Oh yeah, I work part time at a huge cd/record store now too, and the collection has just gotten bigger. 😂 Btw, this is David (aka Fairly Secret Music)

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

Oh nice one mate. I can't imagine how I would deal with a collection like that. I would definitely be overwhelmed. Look forward to seeing something in future in that (jewel)case 🤘

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Some interesting picks there mate, shows the older you are the more knowledge you possess which exactly as it should be. Agree with most of these as well, amazed Johnny Mac and Graham are on here, seen them both in the flesh a few times at gigs and they've both always been hammered so surprised they have any knowledge haha!

Hi Mike!!! i started to watch VC channels around mid 2019..... before that i thought no one else still cared about this type of music apart from some very knowledge guys down here, you have to undestand it was kind of tough back in the day to get info/music from our favorite bands or discover new ones. However it was so cool to find out i was so wrong. I know most of the guys you showed and yes they do have huge collections and the way they talk about stuff makes it more appealing to watch, learn, discover and to me go back in time to an era that still holds fond memories. Good times!! (btw i'm also a catholic, but trust me not offended at all, i understand the context......). cheers mate

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

Yeah I can imagine it's not easy down your area for discovering things. You do ok though. 2019 I actually thought you'd been around longer. All the best dude 🤘

Rene totally deserves to be mentioned first here. He´s into every genre of harder music and has been into it with his heart and soul! He has his little notes with details and song rankings in every record, I love that. Scott Waters has been there forever, starting with all the 70s rockers, experiencing the birth of Thrash firsthand. He has not a collection, he has a library. I could go on with Alan, Marty and all the others. Great video, sir! My range is limited but I can go deep into what I like...

[@blackstarvinyl6375]

Mikey.... Even if I wasn't a part of this list which I wish I wasn't so this comment meant more this is probably the best original video I've seen in a long time. I thank you for even considering me since I've not been in the loop for yrs. I do watch a handful of videos still and you nailed most of the. I watch genres of stuff I don't even know about cause I can tell it's from their hearts. And you being one of the. If I did this you would be apart of this list cause you go into areas like black and grind I don't generally care for but I have found some I like because of your reviews/descriptions. So I believe no matter what we know we all learn something from similar bases. You've always been one of my top 5 fav channels cause I love your bluntness on things even if I completely disagree. I am still around I just watch my fav channels. I do believe Marc and Darcy should be here. Holspa, David Browne and Scott are my metal Jesus's lolol. Scott made me wanna be apart of the VC and is the reason I started and to this day tells me he misses my vids what a huge compliment in my mind. Anyway Mikey I appreciate you even considering me for this and again this is theost thoughtful video in the VC I've ever watched. Again wish I wasn't a part of it I'd still agree. Thank you for even considering me my man 🍻🤘

Nice video Mike, it's great you can give back to your favourite channels and show how much you enjoy what they do. I have to be honest, I thought Marc or Cloudy might have made your list but that's no disrespect to anyone you did pick. Roger, Jurgen and Johnny are 3 guys I love watching too. Though I couldn't make a top 13, because all of you guys I watch I'm inspired by you all! My collection wouldn't be as big as it is without all the VCLT I've been given, and I wouldn't have the knowledge I've got without everyone's input. Over the last few years I've been a sponge soaking up as many bands and info as I can. I'm still learning and still discovering bands you all grew up with from the 80's and 90's, and it's been a great journey so far! I don't think many people learn anything from my videos, I think for the most part people are interested to get the thoughts of a young Metalhead on the Metal scene today, and from the past 😊🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

@@JoshKeech These are who I think is most knowledgeable not necessarily my favourites although there is some overlap and those two Marc and Cloudy you mentioned are best mates to me so yes they'd make any list of favourites

[@JoshKeech]

@metalmickey Ahh ok that's fair enough, yeah there is a slight difference there. But I have no doubt there would be some overlap. Ahh yeah, that's awesome! Would be interesting to see a list of favourites, to see what overlap there is 😁🤘🏻

[@CorabicrueJ]

Very cool video, I only know and watch Holspa, Scott Walters and Black Star…I miss him making videos, as for the whole knowledge thing my motto is if we can sit at the pub and have a Pint and talk music then it’s knowledge and I respect someone like that more than rehearsed and having notes to seem like they are knowledgeable, once again cool video

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

Cheers Frankie. Yes I wish Rob made videos again. Do you not feel like the last few years the average music being shown is way more extreme than it used to be. The glam metal stuff isn't mentioned as much nowadays unfortunately. Way more black metal and I'm not into all that

[@ClarkOVision]

What a great video Mike. A great idea and very nice tribute to some of the great VC members. I know most of these guys... One or two I will check out though. I enjoyed this. I think for a 14th at the table I may have included Kevin @ Wargod61. But yeah, solid picks and Rene is a fav of mine too.

Well, Mickey, these guys know their stuff. I don't know all of them and I follow a few others too. What I can say is that I often find it hard to believe that they have other occupations in their lives, and I also wonder where they find the time to listen to and assimilate all this. It's just crazy. I'd go so far as to say that it's no longer a passion, it's downright an obsession. 😅 I thought I knew a lot, and forty years later I realise that I barely know the basics.

@malakasquad2214 if I listened to 3 cds a day for 8 years and never listened to an album more than once, I can listen to my whole collection 😄 The key is that there is a huge number of cds that I could skip, because I have already listened to them so many times. So I would say it would take maybe 4-5 years to listen to things I really would need to hear.

@doopum1 It's crazy, I've got about half of what you've got and already regret not listening to some of them enough, some I haven't listened to for half an eternity.
