Sodom stuff is hard to find period! You did great, M-16 is a modern thrashterpiece. Kreator & Destruction also put out awesome albums in 2001, which the latter you guys covered on a great stream with Jürgen.
My copy of Poets and Madmen has the polaroid referred to in the story underneath the disc tray. I thought that was pretty cool. I loved it when it came out but it hasn't aged very well. I think I was just so excited to have Jon back. Nothing screams "METAL" like a pastel pink cover with a mom sitting in her car, haha. Cheers Alan!
That's cool, I'll have to see if this copy has that photo. Jon sounds great on here but the album is missing 'something' that keeps it from being great
Solid haul man, congrats! An essential part of any metal collection, I just got a super clean original CD copy of Agent Orange today myself. Now I can split with my unplayable vinyl copy that I’ve not touched since my university years. I enjoy almost anything Candlemass has released, some more and some less. That particular EP has Mat Levens on vocals and I like all 4 songs on it, hope you do too🤘🏻Sleeping Giant is awesome.
Sleeping Giant is good! I didn't realize this came out in-between the Lowe and Langquist albums, so it's cool to hear what they worked on during that time.
Been on a Sodom kick lately too. Picked up a recent compilation covering their whole career and been jamming Agent Orange and M-16. Really like the more recent Accept, although they do sound the same and I couldn’t tell you what song is on what album.
I was not expecting Alan to show a Rise Against album. They are my 2nd favorite band of all time and that album, Revolutions Per Minute, is one of their best. RPM10 is the 10th anniversary reissue and it's kinda cool to hear the demos as bonus material but if you already have the album I don't think the demos are worth it to pick up this release. Edit: Also, for anyone not familiar with Rise Against they are a blend of melodic hardcore, hardcore punk, and pop punk ffo Bad Religion, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Ramones, Nirvana, and AFI.
Bad Religion is a good comparison (there's a band I need to revisit). They also remind me a little bit of ANTI-FLAG circa FOR BLOOD AND EMPIRE. I got copies of a few RISE AGAINST albums from a friend years ago and liked this one and SIREN SONGS OF THE COUNTER CULTURE.
Nice Pick Ups Alan, never can go wrong with any Nasty Savage ( ST is my favorite) pick up a lot more CDs myself just due to the price of vinyl anymore, Enjoy Alan, Take Care
The Motörhead Live in Hamburg is my go-to live album by the band, great, energetic show with a fantastic setlist. M-16 is one of the best in their whole catalogue except for the "Surfin´ Bird" cover. I think I have never seen a complete intact copy of the Nasty Savage EP, it always has a cutout, a holepunch or a sawmark. Mine had a cutout when I bought it back in the early 90s... and it was sealed, hahaha... They must have produced them like that! A question: I´m not a native speaker as you know... does the word "sealed" have anything to do with the band Riot??? Hahahaha...
Tior the Mighty seals all metal vinyl at the pressing plant :) Agreed on the live Hamberg show- great sound, great set list, great crowd noise/interaction. Much better than the other one I got (the 30th aniv show), though it's not bad.
Seems CDs are very high in demand again due to well, vinyl being unreasonably costly these days… which in turn will also drive up the cost of those digital coasters. Interesting pickups, never thought I'd see the day I see Alan hold up a Rise Against CD, yet here we are haha. Death Thy Lover is okay, but wouldn't be my #1 go to listen by the band and Mats Levin is probably third place for me as choice for vocalists, but for the price you got it for worth the pickup.
That's a Great Album. From the Megavault. Check out Imperious Rex. Red Diamonds. What a voice. Couldn't find anything else out on them afterwards. Enjoy....
Nice, Alan. By the way, in my opinion Sodom are the only German and perhaps even worldwide Thrash pioneer band that have always remained true to themselves and their sound over the years and also have by far the most consistent and strongest catalog overall. And that despite various personnel changes. Your latest purchase from 2013 is no exception, even though it's not necessarily one of the highlights.
I don't know much at all about their stuff from the past 15-20 years. Been ages since I looked into Sodom so I'm looking forward to hearing these again
@@letstalkmetal Yeah, of course all their 80s albums are legendary killer, but they also did some ferocious stuff in the 90s and beyond. Especially "Tapping the Vein" and "M-16" are absolute wrecking balls.
Good finds with those sodom cds Alan I'm after their stuff myself but as you say it doesn't show up used very often and people selling on ebay and discogs want stupid money for them I probably have about as many cds you showed currently sitting in my reservation box at the record shop brainstorm grave digger eloy paradox ufo amongst others!
Don't RUSH into any hasty decisions TJ :) I don't mind some RUSH songs here and there, but they've never been the band for me. I revisit them from time to time and maybe I'll get 'it' someday
Somehow, I always mentally group the Badlands album with The Cult 'Electric' and the D.A.D. debut. Boney Marony is an OLD blues song. The Who covered it in their very early days.
I can see putting Badlands and 'Electric' together in that 80s hard rock category. Thanks for the info on the BOC song. I never understood the decision to put a cover song on a compilation.
Helloween,take a drink! Better off dead has a few cool deep tracks but some that are pretty bad. The two covers on the same album was definitely an odd choice. Tapping the vane is actually my favorite Sodom record so give that one a chance.
I would've picked up TtV if the guy had it; it was weird he had all the early SODOM CDs and then that one from 2013; I went through his boxes a 2nd time expecting to find Tapping. Maybe someone else beat me to it
That better motorhead than dead sounds very good i have that one. Its very similar to the dvd they done in Germany about the same time called stage fright which is also very good.
I played it this weekend and it does have good sound. Wish the track list wasn't quite so 'standard'- a lot of these songs are on a ton of live Motor-offerings. But it was their 30th anniversary show so it makes sense they'd play a lot of the live classics.
@@letstalkmetal yes that's true but I like the sound better than those the world is ours albums anyway they don't sound the best. I haven't heard that one u got I must look it up.
Yeah, there seems to be a bit of a stigma around that band. Not 100% sure why. May have to do with Anne's labels; some bands on NRR weren't happy there, and some pressings on the Hellion label lack a bit in terms of quality.
Good haul. Cheap metal CDs around here are very few and far between and certainly nothing on the level of Sodom. FWIW, I have that Helloween CD. So far it plays fine but I did note some pinholes in the foil. Perhaps that was the issue with your older one.
Not been to a record fair in a few years. IThe last one had an OG press of Danzig 2 for £50 and I scoffed at the price. That's how long it's been 😂. With you on Sodom. The early stuff is my go to stuff. It's just right that you'll be able to provide some band with Slippers in the name somewhere down the livestream road 😂
I have a few of their "jams". Being so far removed from society, literally out in the middle of nowhere, the standards for what constitutes " Rock music" is real blurry. If it has an electric, distorted guitar in it, I'll give it a go. Many teenage nights around an impromptu fire sitting on the back of tailgates playing Motley Crue, Cannibal Corpse, Nirvana and CCR. Hillbilly. No connection with what is happening in the developing scene's of music genre's, so why pretend?
@@martymartin2894 jeez Martin why don’t you tell us just exactly about your feels. 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pure crap, yeah that’s hilarious, the good news is I’m not subbed to you so I don’t have to unsubscribe (and Alan knows I was only goofin’ with him)
'Get Out of Here' is a great THIN LIZZY tune :) Yeah, I just don't get Rush. Lee's voice doesn't work for me especially well, they're not quite heavy enough for me, and I have zero music skill so I can't appreciate all the cool proggy stuff they do- it just goes over my head. Maybe someday they'll click with me.
Nice pick-ups. Last time I went to a record fair I came home with 40 items. Did i need them all? no Do i need to OWN them all? YES!!!!! that's when you know you are a collector scum 🤣
Nice pick ups! I need to check out that live Motorhead.
Thanks! The 'Everything Louder' live album is really good! Great track list.
Sodom stuff is hard to find period! You did great, M-16 is a modern thrashterpiece. Kreator & Destruction also put out awesome albums in 2001, which the latter you guys covered on a great stream with Jürgen.
Thanks Darcy! M-16 may be the last SODOM record I heard. I really lost track of the German thrash scene in the early 00s.
Cool stuff, personally that Badlands album is great and has gotten better with time.
Having replayed, it a couple days ago, it still sounds pretty good! Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood the last time I heard it.
Cool update Alan some awesome.pickups
Thanks!

Who amongst us hasn't carried a leaning tower of CDs, looking at people who pass by snapping, "I don't have a problem!"
Yeah, but unlike those people I REALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM :) (but I just ordered 13 more CDs)
@@letstalkmetal it's the sick little monkey's fault. Not mine!

Wow! You made out great! That Savatage is good not great; that Cult album us very good! And Witchkiller is such a good EP! Awesome finds Alan!
Excellent haul!
Nasty Savage are fantastic, especially that EP and Indulgence
I don't think I'd heard this EP before but it is good. I didn't know they started getting more technical at this time
That's a Great Album. From the Megavault. Check out Imperious Rex. Red Diamonds. What a voice. Couldn't find anything else out on them afterwards. Enjoy....
I don't know either of those bands but am looking forward to checking them out. Always cool to find unknown bands on comps :)
