Brendon. I felt you on your last question. Of course you did not have to address that issue being of a personal nature. Appreciate your honesty and your channel. Looking forward to more shows.
Brendon - Caught you on SOT about Box Sets. I thought you and Pete really connected with other. Pete rarely does a show for an hour and a half, but he was having such a good time. The content was impressive. I hope Pete has you on SOT as a regular, because I believe you will bring important content to his channel. I have commented to Pete to bring you on his channel before. Whow!!! Pete finally did it. Great show!! Congratulations on reaching 17k - I'm hoping that SOT viewers like myself subscribe to your channel. Your content and SOT's content are quite different and would enhance each others channel. Please send a big shout out to Anthony at Sound Exchange for me.
Brendon, thank you for your insight into your life and your passions! By no means did you have any obligation to open up about your personal life but you did and that is to be commended. Your response to the person who asked about finding love, etc was really admirable. I found it helped further connect me, a listener to your channel, with you as the presenter. Good stuff, best of luck and thanks for the awesome, informative videos!
Thanks for including my question Brendon. A great detailed answer with some interesting observations you have made, some of which I have noticed in the UK as well. Here's to the CD revival soon! Also great selection of other Q&A's.
Thanks for sharing your first concert experience story, enjoyed listening, also like when you visit the record stores. It reminds me of some of the great concerts I attended before the artists started to leave this planet , such as Van Halen, Etta James, Eddie Money, Tom Petty. rock on Brendon🔊🎼🎵🎶🎧
Hello Brendan… I’ve followed this channel for just under a year. The two things that amaze me is 1.) how you find the time to do all you do on top of holding a full time job. 2.) how you continue to follow and enjoy music from bands that are “past their prime”. For example: The Rolling Stones. I love the Stones, but I don’t believe I’ve ever looked forward to a new record from the band. Thank you for the videos!
Yeah check it out and see if it’s right for you. I think it has fantastic sound quality. Some systems have too much bass or treble for me and this one balances just right. When I first got it I felt like I was hearing my music new for the first time.
Brendon, love your channel. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions about your life, music, etc. There is nothing wrong with not having a relationship because you are afraid to settle. I believe more people should think relationships out before commitment because nine times out of ten they fall apart. If you are happy and fulfilled then more power to you. Last, I think Robin Zander is one of the greatest vocalist of all time.
I was surprised and taken aback by it when I first read it. But then I decided to answer it anyway. It did seem to be a genuine question out of curiosity. Sometimes questions like that are good because it makes you really think in order to formulate an honest and real response instead of just brushing it off.
Hey Brendon! Just want to say that I always enjoy your videos. Your knowledge and passion for music always makes for great watching. Keep doing what you do my friend! I hope your channel thrives for a long time to come! 🤘🏼
Thanks for answering my question about how you keep track of what you got- IMPRESSIVE that you got it down by memory! Wow! Totally understand the time it takes to load in on Discogs, I still am only halfway done - put that project on hold while I moved from NJ to FL. I gotta get back on that, hah… Pretty cool Q&A sesh.
Brendon, this was a great program . Thank you for being so open and honest. Music as you said is always there. It will never break your heart, but it can surely soothe one. Thank you again.
Thanks for answering those questions Brendon, it is always more engaging for us, your audience when we have input & you give us insight about your life, love, passions & how you approach all aforementioned. Whilst my question wasn't chosen i have had posed some when you were based in your old apartment in New York which were so that was cool, many people i subscribe to don't engage with their viewers, you do, which is nice & makes commenting more inviting. Thanks again for sharing, is was most enlightening.
Hey Brendon, just saw the video that you did with Pete over at Sea of tranquility... Awesome discussion, so cool to see you there. Great job as always. You should join him more often, and join the segment "The Curse of the collector".
Love your channel and really enjoyed this video. I have only been a subscriber for a few weeks and wish I had foud your channel sooner. You always make the content very interesting and I applaud you for your honesty in answering these questions. Keep up the good work.
Hey man, I've been watching your channel for about 3 months now. You seem like a great guy and i hope the right match is out there for you brother. BTW I'm also from NJ (Englishtown). I'm also an avid music collector and very much in the same boat as you. Keep up the great work on this channel!!!🎉
@@BrendonSnyder Kudos to you, Brendon, but this vacuous obsession….with the personal lives of those actively involved in national and social media circles….leaves me dumbfounded.
Late to the party, but your answer to the last question gave me a music related question. When going through a break up, what kind of music do you gravitate to? Is it the same kinds of things everytime or situation dependent? (IE.. your called off engagement, when you are broken up with, or when you break up with someone else?) Anyway, great video. Been subbed for nearl 2 years I believe. RUclips hasn't recommended you in a moment, now you are all over my feed again. (It's a good thing!) When I started watching my collection was Maybe 30 cds, I've gotta be nearing 1000 by now. Also as a completionist, I've knocked out bands like Kiss, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Sabbath for example. And now I'm rambling, have a great day!
Brent, I really enjoyed this episode!!! And thanks for sharing some personal information. I’m sure that is tough, but you did it very professionally!!! Love the show, I try to watch all of your episodes!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was cool! Thanks so much for answering my question, Brendon! That's awesome you saw Tom Keifer live. I love his stuff with Cinderella and his solo album, 'Rise,' from 2019.
Throughly enjoy your channel and have so since during the pandemic. Being a cd guy with almost 11,000 myself, I get your love of music. I was a little disappointed that my question was not answered in your video (and I don’t even think you responded in the comments in the other video either). I’m pretty sure I had it in early enough based on when you filmed this. Not rooting my own horn but I felt mine was a pretty interesting based on your collecting methods and love of physical media and the question was unfortunately overlooked. My question was regarding my noticing that more and more bands are selling their CDs but they are actually CD-Rs and not silver factory pressed cds. I was wondering as a fellow avid cd collector if you would still buy a cd-r just to have the music in a physical format or if you would shy away from it. Thanks again.
I apologize, as I did not see your question. But keep in mind that I get hundreds of comments daily. I don’t have time to respond to each one even though I wish I could. In regards to your question, if the CD is official from the band I don’t mind if it’s burned. But if it’s like the print on demand that Amazon does I hate it and return it.
@@BrendonSnyder Thanks Brendon. And I have a ton of respect for you in the way you answered the personal questions. It's definitely a hard hobby to keep if you're "attached" unless you are lucky and your significant other likes music. but you handled that last question with class and sincerity and i'm sure your viewers (including myself) really appreciated it. also loved the video with Anthony a few weeks ago. I talked to him on the phone once. super nice guy too.
Loved the questions, just one note you do have a child, Noodles, that’s a fur baby lol We have 2 in our house besides are son but those 2 pal around it’s like having 2 children. So you do have a person your responsible for. Great Video!
I always watch your shows. Found them really exciting as I am a cd-collector myself (but not in such a huge numbers). It's entertaining to listen to you and you also deliver a helpful guide line. Big thank you for the great job you made. You fill a lot of my evenings here in Sweden. My biggest music hero is Kai Hansen. I saw him in Helloween the first time when they supported Iron Maiden on The Seventh Son of The Seventh Son tour. Then I have had the opportunity to see him in Helloween and Gamma Ray several times after that. My next concert visit will be in Gothenburg in October when Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica makes forces the same night and with Induction as a support act - the band of Kai's son Tim Hansen! All the best, Brendon!
Love this! Thankyou for sharing. Still want to know about your cat. And much respect for your profession. Art Vandelay would be jealous. Keep on rocking, from this 9/11 responder here, you made my day a bit better
Oh you didn’t hear? I work for Vandelay Industries! 😂 Surprisingly no one asked a question about Noodle. But he’s camera shy anyway so I don’t know that I could have had him on to answer.
Streaming is cool if you need to... as a retired teacher I can listen to music at home on my stereo.. on a walk I have my MP3 player... I'm not much of tech guy... I just love the way you expand on the music! @@BrendonSnyder
if you go to concerts from fresh new bands in the underground i think you'd find that the concert intensity you mention is still alive and well; it didn't stop existing, but if you continue seeing the same bands as they got older and fans become more nostalgia/brand-based, the shows and crowds are more likely to become less passionate and genuine
Thank you for answering my question in detail (about those Lynch Mob and L.A. Guns records) - my way was a combination of dislike to the music and shortage on space: I just wish I had equally enough rooms to keep them all! My problem really was and still is: not enough space to storage them all anymore; so I got rid of some stuff I even kinda liked. I do understand your answer.
Tenth Q&A session, Brendon, you are the man 👍🏻🙂 “Architecture is Frozen Music”🙂 Re vinyl, you need more investments with it: time, money, efforts, equipment (turntables, cartridges, phonostages, cleaning machines etc. etc.) to have the sound comparable with CD esp. with this kind of music ("rock", "heavy") and system / settings. I personally like and try to obtain both, records and CDs. The formats have their obvious advantages. Just with the time going on it is sometimes easier to have a metal album, for example, to listen to with due and good quality on a CD than to do it (find/buy/clean/spin) on vinyl. But the vinyl it has its magic, of course 🙂 My opinion 🙂 Take care. P.S. Anorexic Skeletons did you say? 🙂 That was a great band name 👍🏻😀
Love the mention of the AC/DC/King’s X concert. I was fortunate to catch that in Knoxville and had 5th row seats. Loved AC/DC but King’s X stole the show. Question for next vid you do of this type. What type of architecture do you practice. I’ve been involved in commercial architecture for 25 years.
Great show Brendon..Love this q & a show that you do.Very interesting to how you listen and why.Because I have a huge collection also it is fun just picking out something you haven't heard in quite awhile and fun knowing you have it to be able to do it.
A Norwegian Kiwixplaining New Zealand music? Ha ha. Perhaps you have some music by my favorites Split Enz? Or the band started by their former member Neil Finn, Crowded House? Big Brother Tim Finn? Garage Rockers The D4 were a good but short lived band. Then there’s the Datsuns or perhaps «one hit wonders» The Chills (Heavenly Pop Hit). Lovely video. 3 years plus I’ve followed your CD adventures. Staying roughly halfway behind you (my collection is in the 6000’s) and inspiring me to start my own channel and stepping in front of the camera as well 😊
Hi Brendon . I'm late to the party but what's the most you've ever paid for a cd and what's the maximum you would pay for something you really wanted? Good video by the way👍.
Darn! I missed this one. How do I get my question to you on time? Can you provide a deadline for this? I really enjoy these kinds of videos, and you have answered quite a few of the ones I have asked. Much appreciated.
And on a side note Brendon i waited until 44 to get married and 45 to have my first and only child so happiness in that said of life will happen for you
Brandon, Love your videos!!! Are you gonna make it to Palm Springs next month for the Power Trip Festival? If so ... I hope to bump into you. Rock On Brother 🤘
While I love and collect both CD and vinyl records, I cannot foresee a CD revival similar to the recent vinyl revival. The reason is simple: the return to the CD's physical state does not provide much advantage or novelty. With the ability to "download" digital media in a lossless format, one can simply store it on any media (pc, phone, flash drive or original optical disc) and retain the sound quality and library. The sound quality argument aside, there's so much more that comes along with vinyl records, including the owning of a true analog "artifact". I'm personally going to continue with both formats, but I don't see CDs ever returning to their former glory.
It’s the same argument for vinyl though. To me the only advantage of vinyl is the full, larger sleeve artwork which people can also frame and display if they want. CDs are a physical artefact that are easier to store, less easy to damage, require less maintenance and cleaning, and at the moment less expensive. If people want physical product then CDs ultimately are the most useful and long lasting. They haven’t quite got that connoisseur of music/retro flavour yet as you say when you refer to the ‘analogue’ experience- but they will. All physical media becomes a novelty with time.
I’ve actually gone into detail on this topic in other videos and I have a series called What’s That You’re Listening To? I go through all of the albums I’ve been listening to over the previous week and explain how and why I chose to listen to them. Bottom line there are many factors but it’s usually based on current events in music news or listening to things related to a new album that is about to drop. See link for the playlist for What’s That You’re Listening To? if you want to check out some episodes ruclips.net/p/PLXugCGslmwql9eIVBWKQdkz96iuGMW4nP&si=H_W0mT3D0-UCVzV-
I noticed you like Phillip Phillips music, and in one LGTTRS video, I think that's where you picked up his CD. Kind of surprising to see a die hard rock and metal fan like you get into modern soft adult alt-pop like that. I'm not really a fan of his, however I am kind of interested in hearing the story of how you got to like his songs? As for some of the artists you either dislike or have tried a few times but couldn't get into their music (examples: Dan Fogelberg and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, both who have excellent guitar-driven classic rock songs) do you think you'll ever give them another chance or have a change of opinion about their music at some point in the future? I get that you like what you like, and some artists you may never take a liking to their music. I can appreciate that. But still, I was just curious. You did say that your tastes change, and you said how you used to hate Richard Marx during his heyday, but now actually like his music. Loads of respect for your channel and passion for music, Brendon.
I miss Neil Peart but i need a rush fix hope the can put out sumthing new some day neil would love it to hear it and Heaven plays rush all the time i think its on a loop
I wish the band would dig into the archives and issue outtakes, alternate versions, demos, or remix some of the albums. That and so a tribute tour for Neil and have some killer drummers join at different stops like Dave Grohl, Mike Portnoy, etc.
Interesting you don't like your music loud, which is contrary to the majority of the music you pick up that is generally known to need to be played LOUD!...I chuckled a bit, but we all have to listen to music the way we enjoy it. As far as CDS go I see a combo of both CDs being priced high and some stores getting too many CDs where they don't have the space and dump them in the $1 bin. Thanks
No every holy grail that I’ve wanted I found. There are more out there but not at a price I’m will to spend and not necessarily one I need to have. For example I’d love to own a copy of GNR’s Live Like A Suicide E.P. But since I already own the music it’s not a necessity to own the LP even though I’d love to have it.
As bad as nu metal and even some post-grunge was during the Y2K era, it still sounded like rock. Now you've got this pesky synth-laden Gen-Z electropop genre passing off as rock in the modern day. Most of it does not sound remotely like rock, and guitars and their solos are obsolete. And when it comes to the pop charts, it's the dominant rock subgenre. There seems to be no real rock music you see on the pop charts. My question is how did this happen? Why is it happening? And what can we do to stop it from spreading? People forget that rock was very much still on the pop charts when disco and new wave were the dominant music genres. If you ask me, electropop is killing all of today's real rock music. Your opinion?
Brendon. I felt you on your last question. Of course you did not have to address that issue being of a personal nature. Appreciate your honesty and your channel. Looking forward to more shows.
Really appreciate your channel, Brendan. Thank you for sharing your love of music with us and for your honesty. Have a good day.

Thanks for answering my question, Brendon! I wrote down your Denon RCD-M41 system. I have a small office and it seems perfect for it.
Yeah check it out and see if it’s right for you. I think it has fantastic sound quality. Some systems have too much bass or treble for me and this one balances just right. When I first got it I felt like I was hearing my music new for the first time.

Yes indeed, Robin is pretty great! Cheap Trick should be a much bigger band than they are.
Great video, man! Gives us a great glimpse into who you are as a person. Really appreciate everything you do with your RUclips channel.

Great episode very interesting keep doing what you do
if you go to concerts from fresh new bands in the underground i think you'd find that the concert intensity you mention is still alive and well; it didn't stop existing, but if you continue seeing the same bands as they got older and fans become more nostalgia/brand-based, the shows and crowds are more likely to become less passionate and genuine
That’s easy for me. I’d rather go see my musical heroes than see young bands I’m not into.
Loved the question and answer video. Really cool. Your “love” is out there, don’t worry

Tenth Q&A session, Brendon, you are the man 👍🏻🙂
“Architecture is Frozen Music”🙂
Re vinyl, you need more investments with it: time, money, efforts, equipment (turntables, cartridges, phonostages, cleaning machines etc. etc.) to have the sound comparable with CD esp. with this kind of music ("rock", "heavy") and system / settings. I personally like and try to obtain both, records and CDs. The formats have their obvious advantages. Just with the time going on it is sometimes easier to have a metal album, for example, to listen to with due and good quality on a CD than to do it (find/buy/clean/spin) on vinyl. But the vinyl it has its magic, of course 🙂 My opinion 🙂
Take care.
P.S. Anorexic Skeletons did you say? 🙂 That was a great band name 👍🏻😀
Love the mention of the AC/DC/King’s X concert. I was fortunate to catch that in Knoxville and had 5th row seats. Loved AC/DC but King’s X stole the show.

Wasn't aware of the 2nd Robin Zander. Think he is one of the older rockers who can still bring it. His son is releasing a solo cd this week.
A Norwegian Kiwixplaining New Zealand music? Ha ha. Perhaps you have some music by my favorites Split Enz? Or the band started by their former member Neil Finn, Crowded House? Big Brother Tim Finn? Garage Rockers The D4 were a good but short lived band. Then there’s the Datsuns or perhaps «one hit wonders» The Chills (Heavenly Pop Hit).
Lovely video. 3 years plus I’ve followed your CD adventures. Staying roughly halfway behind you (my collection is in the 6000’s) and inspiring me to start my own channel and stepping in front of the camera as well 😊
You are the man Brendon Love your videos
Thanks James!
Thanks Brendon. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Hi Brendon .
I'm late to the party but what's the most you've ever paid for a cd and what's the maximum you would pay for something you really wanted? Good video by the way👍.
Darn! I missed this one. How do I get my question to you on time? Can you provide a deadline for this? I really enjoy these kinds of videos, and you have answered quite a few of the ones I have asked. Much appreciated.
If you notice a cd that’s starting to rot do you make a copy just in case it becomes unplayable later?
I’ve been with u at the 9000 cd mark. My how we’ve grown lol
Yes we sure have!
Totally agree with you about Steel Panther 👎🏻
I agree too. Not a fan
Their music is parody, much like Spinal Tap was and still is. But their music is WAY more perverted than Tap's.
Thanks for the show 🎉❤
The only Love you need is the forever changes album!
Haha 😂👍
And on a side note Brendon i waited until 44 to get married and 45 to have my first and only child so happiness in that said of life will happen for you
Brandon, Love your videos!!!
Are you gonna make it to Palm Springs next month for the Power Trip Festival? If so ... I hope to bump into you.
Rock On Brother 🤘
Great video brother
While I love and collect both CD and vinyl records, I cannot foresee a CD revival similar to the recent vinyl revival. The reason is simple: the return to the CD's physical state does not provide much advantage or novelty. With the ability to "download" digital media in a lossless format, one can simply store it on any media (pc, phone, flash drive or original optical disc) and retain the sound quality and library. The sound quality argument aside, there's so much more that comes along with vinyl records, including the owning of a true analog "artifact". I'm personally going to continue with both formats, but I don't see CDs ever returning to their former glory.
It’s the same argument for vinyl though. To me the only advantage of vinyl is the full, larger sleeve artwork which people can also frame and display if they want. CDs are a physical artefact that are easier to store, less easy to damage, require less maintenance and cleaning, and at the moment less expensive. If people want physical product then CDs ultimately are the most useful and long lasting. They haven’t quite got that connoisseur of music/retro flavour yet as you say when you refer to the ‘analogue’ experience- but they will. All physical media becomes a novelty with time.
I have a question. How do you choose what CD to listen to from 12,000 plus CD's? I only have around 400 CD's and I never know what to listen to.
I’ve actually gone into detail on this topic in other videos and I have a series called What’s That You’re Listening To? I go through all of the albums I’ve been listening to over the previous week and explain how and why I chose to listen to them. Bottom line there are many factors but it’s usually based on current events in music news or listening to things related to a new album that is about to drop. See link for the playlist for What’s That You’re Listening To? if you want to check out some episodes ruclips.net/p/PLXugCGslmwql9eIVBWKQdkz96iuGMW4nP&si=H_W0mT3D0-UCVzV-
Enjoyed the video and enjoy your channel and all your content.
Hey Brendon. Thanks for answering my question 👍
I noticed you like Phillip Phillips music, and in one LGTTRS video, I think that's where you picked up his CD. Kind of surprising to see a die hard rock and metal fan like you get into modern soft adult alt-pop like that. I'm not really a fan of his, however I am kind of interested in hearing the story of how you got to like his songs? As for some of the artists you either dislike or have tried a few times but couldn't get into their music (examples: Dan Fogelberg and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, both who have excellent guitar-driven classic rock songs) do you think you'll ever give them another chance or have a change of opinion about their music at some point in the future? I get that you like what you like, and some artists you may never take a liking to their music. I can appreciate that. But still, I was just curious. You did say that your tastes change, and you said how you used to hate Richard Marx during his heyday, but now actually like his music.
Loads of respect for your channel and passion for music, Brendon.
I miss Neil Peart but i need a rush fix hope the can put out sumthing new some day neil would love it to hear it and Heaven plays rush all the time i think its on a loop
I wish the band would dig into the archives and issue outtakes, alternate versions, demos, or remix some of the albums. That and so a tribute tour for Neil and have some killer drummers join at different stops like Dave Grohl, Mike Portnoy, etc.
Wow tough question at the end well handled. Is there anything you miss about the apartment compared to your house
thank u sir
Wikipedia isn’t always accurate, other than hearing that I enjoyed your knowledge.
Thank you for your presentation.
No said it was the be all end all. But yes I do use it for information and most cases it’s accurate. But it’s not my only source.
I have found a Band from New Zealand Called Redeye the album is Called Redeye. It's from 1977
Cool 👍
My second concert deep purple in 1974
Do you like the harder style of rockabilly like the reverend Horton Heat or Brian Setzer (new album out on Friday from Brian)
I love The Reverend! Seen the band 5 times back in the mid 90’s. 👍
Interesting you don't like your music loud, which is contrary to the majority of the music you pick up that is generally known to need to be played LOUD!...I chuckled a bit, but we all have to listen to music the way we enjoy it. As far as CDS go I see a combo of both CDs being priced high and some stores getting too many CDs where they don't have the space and dump them in the $1 bin. Thanks
You deserve a free coffee for getting my name right 😂. Not everyone can properly pronounce Genovese
I have the Hollywood Rose cd before GNR started. Do you have it?
Yes I’ve got that too. Wish those demos would be released officially by GNR.
@@BrendonSnyder I know I’m a huge GNR fan. They need to do more.
Do you realize that you’re living George Costanza’s dream of being an architect? Haha
Didn’t you hear…I work for Vandelay Industries 😂
Do you have a Holy Grail you haven’t found yet???😉
No every holy grail that I’ve wanted I found. There are more out there but not at a price I’m will to spend and not necessarily one I need to have. For example I’d love to own a copy of GNR’s Live Like A Suicide E.P. But since I already own the music it’s not a necessity to own the LP even though I’d love to have it.
As bad as nu metal and even some post-grunge was during the Y2K era, it still sounded like rock. Now you've got this pesky synth-laden Gen-Z electropop genre passing off as rock in the modern day. Most of it does not sound remotely like rock, and guitars and their solos are obsolete. And when it comes to the pop charts, it's the dominant rock subgenre. There seems to be no real rock music you see on the pop charts. My question is how did this happen? Why is it happening? And what can we do to stop it from spreading? People forget that rock was very much still on the pop charts when disco and new wave were the dominant music genres. If you ask me, electropop is killing all of today's real rock music. Your opinion?
