Yeah, I got mine for $40 from Sanity.
Anthrax are good, except their songs just aren't that great.
Megadeth are great, but WAY too much vocal overdubbing going on.
Slayer are fat and cheesy and take themselves way too seriously.
Metallica blow the other 3 away quite convincingly.
The 3 band jam on Am I Evil is fucking awesome. Don't know why Slayer didn't do it, but makes them seem like jerks for not joining in (except Lombardo).

Read something somewhere that asked Lombardo why the rest didn't jam, he said something along the lines that they don't know how to jam in rehearsal let alone on stage with everyone else
Apparently King was asked and interested, but didn't have time to learn the song as he was busy when they rehearsed it.

two blu-ray purchases this week
the 1st is the much waited upon Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind from Studio Ghibli.
This is from the HD upgrade re-release from a couple of years ago, taking out the graininess of the older footage. It also has the more recent Disney paid for English dubbing (with Patrick Stewart as Lord Yupa) but that doesn't matter since I only watch the original subbed version
the 2nd BD is the latest DC Bruce Timm produced animation Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. starting a few weeks after the events of the last Superman/Batman film, it tells of Superman's cousin Kara and her fall to Earth and trying to find her place as a super powered being, as well as the evil Darkseid seeking a new captain for his Fem Furies.
This is probably the best of the new DC animations with good character development (for the short time that it runs) and some amazing fight scenes that show off the extent of a super powered being battling. Plus Batman being Batman -which is always awesome!

Depends what version you get, 2 or 3 disc, of course being a sucker I got 3 disc, it has some unreleased live stuff from the tour cycle in 1990, and all the demos' including one that didn't make the album originally, am looking forward to getting around to giving the demos disc a spin

Here I go, wasting money again.
Can't tell you what or how many gunpla I got recently but today got:
Kalmah - For the Revolution
HOLY FUCKING CHRIST!
WHY DIDN'T I GET THIS TWO YEARS AGO?!
Maybe hard to find in local shops but found it today in the bargain section of JB Civic for $15.
Great album.
Not as pounding as their previous effort The Black Waltz but has that flow which Kalmah has perfected and still delivers that Melody BRUTALITY which you have come to expect.

The Black Waltz is great
