Classics Reborn

I nearly bought that back in the day, but here it was still $30 and I didn't think there was enough songs for $30.

 

[redfly]

Yeah $30 would make the purchase tough.

 

[Slammed]

There was so many good VHS (eventually DVD) releases that only had 5 or 6 songs on them that were too overpriced to buy in this country. It really sucked, no one wanted to pay $30 for 5 songs.

 

[redfly]

We of course didn't get gauged as bad as you guys but we had the same issues. It seemed like they didn't care if a video was basically the equivalent of an ep. They still charged a lot.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah it wasn't until the CD/DVD combo that some of these video compilations actually became reasonable. It was obviously difficult to bundle a cassette and a VHS, but the CD/DVD combo meant that 5 or so tracks of video could be included easily with the music. But even that presented an annoyance because so often they'd sell the CD by itself then 12-18 months later they'd sell a 'tour pack" or a "deluxe pack" or some other fancy name but the CD included was still the standard CD which most fans had already had on the shelf.

Those tour edition's used to really piss me off. After a while I just stopped pre ordering or going to the store on release day. They fucked themselves with that shit.

 

[Slammed]

Because Australia was sometimes at the start of tours we did have the occasional win where the tour edition came out early, but most of the time they still came out a long time after the first edition, and often they tried to charge more for it. Even when those bonus live tracks were recorded live in Australia somewhere it still sucked that they expected you to buy two copies of the actual album.

Back when Crabman Rob was cool I'm not sure I always agree with Mike, he seems a bit over the top on some things, but I always like seeing interviews and stuff with him.

I've seen that Megadeth interview. One of our stations must have picked it up and replayed it back in the day.

 

[redfly]

Yeah I agree with you about Mike. Sometimes I'm not sure where he's coming from.

 

[Slammed]

Those are the best conversations he has.

 

[redfly]

True enough!

Nicko Mc Brain must be one of the hardest people in metal to interview. You'd never know which version of him you've be getting

 

[redfly]

I never really noticed that but you're right. Pretty funny

 

[Slammed]

He reminds me of Mad Dog Murdoch from the A Team some times.

 

[Neptune]

He is definitely a entertaining fellow!

I forgot about that guy!

 

[redfly]

He is definitely a entertaining fellow!

He'd make a good gameshow host!

 

[Slammed]

I forgot about that guy!

Every now and again I cop the A Team in the afternoon if the tv is on and I'm not picking up the kids. It's good wholesome family entertainment...well it's entertainment
