Im sure you will read this a LOT in the comments but we missed you so much! These hunting and pickup videos are the best on YT. You do such an awesome job hitting the high points perfectly and getting right to the point, thank you so much for another amazing pickup video! Glad to see you back!
Metal Jesus! It was AWESOME meeting you in Nashville! And even better - seeing YOU walk around places I frequent all the time! Thank you so much for traveling down here. You picked great places to eat and shop. It was an honor meeting you at the panel at the show. Thanks man and keep being awesome.
Good to see Jimmy! I remember his TH-cam channel with very good tips for collecting! Thanks for teleportation to Nashville. It is always good to see local food, landscape, culture and game shops! Dragon's Lair was something I saw many years ago in the Game Hall that is sadly closed now.
Long time fan of your channel. As a gamer and general dentist, I have experience working with patients that are going through what you are with your dental work. It was cool seeing a new video. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I'm not gonna lie, it's been a challenge! My front four teeth are currently temporary resin as I use Invisalign to widen my jaw over the next two years...then I'll get either implants or a bridge. But yeah, harder than I expected.
Glad you enjoyed Nashville! As a local, glad you went to mckay's! They ALWAYS have something different to look at every time. If you ever come back, try HQ(headquarters beercade), Kung Fu Saloon, and Game Terminal. Amazing barcades to play classic arcades, pinball, unique drinks and of course good food!
Only issues with McKays is you have to watch there prices because sometimes there higher then Ebay is but the play side is with Mckays you can see your games and tell if there real or fake and most of the time they do a good job checking games before they sell them.
@@SirDinielFortesque that's true. It's why I check prices of things I want before I buy it there. Generally though, they're cheaper than other game stores in town
Glad to see you came here. A bit of a clarification: The area you referred to as Music Row is not actually Music Row. The area you went to is Lower Broadway. Music Row is 16th and 17th Avenues South, and is known as Music Row because of the high concentration of recording studios.
Ok... for some reason there was confusion because one map said to was and another didn't. I actually argued with my wife about it! LOL Thanks for the clarification.
@@MetalJesusRocks @Mike Kunkel is absolutely right. The shot @13:18 during your closing of the video features the Music City Center (the place shaped like a giant guitar). You actually filmed that from Demonbreun St. (Not pronounced demon-brewin, Da-muhn-bree-uhn) and if you kept going to your right for about a mile you'd hit a roundabout, and that's where Music Row starts.
Great to see a bit of Nashville, thanks. And just in case no one else mentioned it that is Lower Broadway where all the bars are. Music Row is another street where all of the music publishers were.
Used to live near the Mckays in Knoxville TN, and been to the one in Chattanooga a few times, a good chunk of my collection of games and movies came from the one I lived near.
I'm Australian and when I was in Seattle for a couple of days I thought it was amazing that you can pretty much see Mt Rainier from everywhere in the city. Gorgeous mountain.
I lived in and around Nashville for most of my 20s, so this was extra cool to me. Great video as always man. Jack's BBQ has a place downtown and it is always fall off the bone ribs. Also, not downtown I don't think, but the best Hot chicken place is called Hattie-B's for any future visitors. Music Row is also the name for the strip down the road a bit that just has music business and studios all down it. I interned at a publicity company on music row back in the day. Glad you enjoyed it.
Other creators: So here are the games MetalJesus: So here is the place I am visiting, all the fun things you can do AND games. You got a talent in making awesome videos.
Outstandingly awesome trip bro! I love these travel videos where you go to different places. And this one didn't disappoint. Good showing and cool video MJR!👉😃👈
I have a question for the MJR crew: What are your guilty pleasure games?/Games that are bad but just have a special place in your heart and you come back to them every now and then.
Though many say that it's the worst or not a great zelda, mine is skyward sword. The music and story I love and even though its a zelda game, for me it's a game where a friend sets out to save their friend. Plus when it came out I was lonely and didn't have many friends in school so it felt like I was setting out in my own world to save a friend as corny as that sounds.
Hmmm.... that's a tough one cuz I like a lot of 6 or 7/10 games, ya know? They don't have to be perfect if I get em cheap and they offer a couple hours of stupid fun. I guess the one that comes to mind is Devil's Third on Wii U. I didn't think it was as bad as everybody said! I mean, it's janky as hell... but still a lot of stupid fun too!
The Broadway area that you were in is basically just a giant tourist trap. There's a joke amongst Nashvillians that if you see anyone wearing a cowboy hat or boots, they aren't from Nashville. No one in Nashville wears cowboy boots or cowboy hats, but tourists think that we just walk around listening to country music wearing our boots. Basically anyone in that area that's from Nashville is just working at one of the bars, restaurants, etc. We consider it to be Nashville's Hell. :)
Thanks for coming to our city! McKays has been a mainstay for years. It's alot harder to find affordable gems there today but years ago it was absolutely rife with 2 or 3 dollar gems.
I remember those days. Lol. I’ve been going to the Nashville location for 10 years ever since they moved to the Bellevue location, and they didn’t know what they had at the time. One of my friends found a loose Hagane SNES cart for like $30. 😂 Now that game is worth over $500 loose!
So glad you enjoyed our wonderful city of music! I used to work at the Mckays in Nash and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't tell you how many of those "broken" consoles we sell I've bought and refurbished for my collection. If you ever come back, stock is always changing so make sure to visit again!
Glad to see you back making new videos again and hope you continue to heal up man. Aside from the Pickups videos the travel videos and game conventions are my favorite. I'd love to be able to go to swap meets and gaming conventions but budget and time (as well as poor planning) make it very unlikely; so I live vicariously through the experiences you share. Merry Christmas MJR!
Ok, this is crazy. My wife and I just moved back to Michigan after 8 years living in the Nashville area. In fact, we lived 6 of those years in Lebanon and I've been to literally every place you visited in this video. That expo center was only about 5 miles away form my house and that's also where the Wilson County fair grounds are.
These videos take me back to my childhood, Wouldn't have the time to play or collect them now but fun to live through you're great content. Thanks MJR!
The original real Faces Of Death II clamshell VHS!!! I used to have that shockumentary but sold it together will all my shockumentaries collection for $200 back in the day. Thanks for showing your adventures at the convention for those of us that can't go!👍
@@MetalJesusRocks ouch! Of course it'll freak you out they don't call them shockumentaries for nothing. Lots of years ago I had visiting cousins at home and there was a 4 year old who wouldn't stay sill no matter what I put on the VCR. So had him watch the original Faces Of Death and he was enthralled! Later that night he woke up having nightmares! Poor Julian!🙉
Glad to see you made it to the Game Trader in Rivergate. Incidentally, I didn't know the guy @5:45 still worked there! I wish the end of town its on was as booming as it was in the 80s and 90s, but with the mall circling the drain and everything south of it going...well, south...I worry that all the outbuildings and strips that exploded around the mall (like Game Trader) will eventually wither on the vine. You're right, McKay's is overwhelming, *especially* if you go there on the weekend when it's absolutely packed. I've never been super enthusiastic about the retro collection there.
Ive been going to McKays for years and years and it seems like theyre really moving away from the retro games. It used to be huge sections with shelves full and now its just a couple glass cases. Generally overpriced too
Its nice seeing light on stuff like this in my town. Now I see a new con I have to go to that I didnt know existed . Also Gibson has had a presence here in Nashville for as long as I can remember and im like 23. Thank you for such great content! :)
Hi Metal Jesus, It's so great & exciting to see you & your wife going to Nashville in Tennese, Plus you done quite a bit of game hunting including a huge variety of big huge stores, including Acade Machines & so much more, I've really enjoyed watching all your videos especially this one, Take care dude😄😄👌👍👍🎮🕹🎮
I lived in Nashville for 3 years (from the UK). Nashville has become the epicentre of the US music industry. Lots of labels, studios, publishers and producers have moved there over the last 10 years. Resulting in possibly the best music scene anywhere in the World right now. Really varied, and it's shaking off that country assumption with the music scene too. Looks like you had an incredible time.
Hi Metal Jesus, glad to see you back! Have you ever thought like having a blog or announcement video about upcoming video game expo like this? Currently I live in US and I really want to visit some of the expo. It would be very great if you do that!
Happy to see your back at it! I am going through a lot of dental work(don't neglect your teeth people!) and know the struggle is real. Looking forward to years of videos
so glad you visited my city, this place has a huge culture of food and music, great retro gaming stores here too! mckays and both game trader stores are fantastic
That's Broadway not Music Row. Music Row is a few miles away where all the recording studios and the record labels are headquartered. Cool to see you at Game Trader. Love the place.
It’s TH-camrs like MJR that heightened my passion for retro gaming. His channel introduced me to Radical Reggie and Kelsey Lewis. I live close by Seattle to so I’ve been wanting to game with them sometime.
Welcome back to new videos! Looks like it was an awesome trip! Knowing you also like cars a bit, I gotta recommend that if you ever get out towards the east end of Tennessee/western North Carolina, you gotta hit up US Rt 129, the "Tail of the Dragon," and some of the roads surrounding it. It was such a blast when I got to drive those roads, and I've dreamed about going back again. It was the best part about my road trip to Tennessee several years ago.
Oh really?! Thanks for the tips! I am considering taking my new GTI on a big USA road trip next year actually. Really get it on those open roads and let'er rip! 👍
@MetalJesusRocks yeah, man! Tail of the Dragon is 318 curves in an 11 mile stretch. Super windy, tight curves, switchbacks, and beautiful forest area. It's the most fun I ever had behind the wheel of my own GTI.
We always called the At&t building the Batman Building. So glad you caught a glimpse of it from the plane! Hope you enjoyed your trip to Tennessee! Come back anytime!
3:59 McKay's doesn't disappoint! Only one I've been to is in Greensboro, NC on Battleground Ave. Not as big as Nashville but tons of choices. Its Heaven
Awesome video! We did some Pizza Reviews in Nashville. One of the most fun places we have been. Also, the Bonuts at Biscut Love were worth waiting in the long line for! Happy you were able to experience them.
Thanks, MJR! This is just a great series, to see nice video games and simultaneously the places I want to go , when going to US. Also, I really hope you are all right again, as you mentioned health issues lately. All the best and have a nice Christmas time. Greets from Europe ;-)
I live in the Nashville area and I'm so glad McKays got a spotlight! I love the McKays in Chattanooga even more, but I can spend hours in any of the few locations. Hate that I missed you at the Expo, but hopefully I'll either be able to travel or you might make it back down here. 🤘
Great stuff man! Glad you dug McKay's, it's probably my favorite store here. There is another place you need to check out called The Great Escape the next time you visit. Also, hilariously accurate about the overwhelming drunk crowd on music row.
AHHH! I have been trying to find the Faces of Death collection on VHS for years. Another great B roll video man, I love watching these when you put them out.
Lived in Middle Tennessee my whole life. Game trader is an awesome store as well as McKays. The big Nashville Flea Market at the Fairgrounds is always a great place to find games. Also The Great Escape has some retro goodness. Cool video!
dude, music row is where all the music labels are along Music Square. where you were was at the honkey tonks along Broadway. great to see you came to visit though! (YES, I live there)
Glad you had a great time in Nashville. If you ever visit any other part of the state, you'll find a McKay's in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Clarksville.
Welcome to Nashville. McKays has been my home for YEARS. That scratched section has been a weekly visit for me… Did you check The Great Escape pc games?! Glad you enjoyed your time!
I'm working on getting a video game convention setup here in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I hope I'll be lucky enough to have people like Metal Jesus visit it
So great you are well and back... loved the pickups and the event. That Circus Convoy is amazing 🙂 Also nice to see you are a fan of Time Pilot... I fell in love with that game last time I went to Arcade Club in the UK.
@@MetalJesusRocks yes me as well.. The game Yoshiki Okamoto got fired over at Konami, as he was supposed to be making a driving game LOL ... still I think based on all his work he went on to do at Capcom... he did pretty well for himself :P The Konami Time Pilot on XBLA is pretty good... the art is touched up slightly if set (can switch off) and its a great way to play at home. I am chuffed for me as bought the Arcade 1UP Atari Couchcade in the sale... So great to have my fav arcade games like Centipede, Tempest and Crystal Castle on a trackball and spinner in the home finally. 🙂
I have a lot of free play to do on Time Pilot and more particularly TP84 to get to $1 per hour of enjoyment. I put a lot of paper-route earned quarters into those machines.
I have an internet pal that lives in Snohomish, which is a little bit south of Seattle. He's always going on about that old volcano. I'm sure it's just amazing to see.
If you want to take a risk on buying a scratched disc, local libraries often have a disc polisher and will run your personal disc through it for free. Used CD/DVD shops also have them and charge only a nominal fee to run it for you to see if it will fix any playback issues.
I’ve always wanted to do a road trip of the US, so watching your videos and seeing a combination of travel and games is awesome! Fantastic video as always!
Is amyone else just happy about MJRs passion and child like enjoyment after all of these years
I still get giddy 😍
Deff uh dedicated nigga
Heck yeah! Love all his videos!
no
@@MetalJesusRocks Everyday is Christmas when there's all of those great games to find in the wild.
You're so good at doing these types of videos! Glad to see you back!
I LOVE making them. Really fun to film and create.
@@MetalJesusRocks great video bro. thanks for sharing. big hugs from puerto rico.

Im sure you will read this a LOT in the comments but we missed you so much! These hunting and pickup videos are the best on YT. You do such an awesome job hitting the high points perfectly and getting right to the point, thank you so much for another amazing pickup video! Glad to see you back!
Glad to have you back! I did like the compilation videos, but you were certainly missed.
More to come!
no he was not
love how the gaming community all hangs together
Right? A bunch of fat, low testosterone losers who don't bathe. Amazing. Come at me folks.
i dont
idk about that, no one invited me. hah
Metal Jesus! It was AWESOME meeting you in Nashville! And even better - seeing YOU walk around places I frequent all the time! Thank you so much for traveling down here. You picked great places to eat and shop. It was an honor meeting you at the panel at the show. Thanks man and keep being awesome.

Rock on!
Used to live near the Mckays in Knoxville TN, and been to the one in Chattanooga a few times, a good chunk of my collection of games and movies came from the one I lived near.
Was just making a quick visit to MJRs channel before bed after a long day hoping there was a new video, how good. Hi from Australia!
I need to go to Australia... looks amazing! One of these days. 👍
Yo I'm actually going there next week. Any recommendations?
@@antoinevilleneuve7680 Nice! Where abouts are you going when you’re visiting?
@@infoo_ Around melbourne area and Surfer's paradise
I'm Australian and when I was in Seattle for a couple of days I thought it was amazing that you can pretty much see Mt Rainier from everywhere in the city. Gorgeous mountain.
Kicking myself I didn't go to McKays but it'll give me a reason to return. Always fun to do cons with you.
We're glad you came out, man. Always good to see the MJR crew from the PAC NW. Such a long way, but I hope you had fun.
I lived in and around Nashville for most of my 20s, so this was extra cool to me. Great video as always man. Jack's BBQ has a place downtown and it is always fall off the bone ribs. Also, not downtown I don't think, but the best Hot chicken place is called Hattie-B's for any future visitors.
Music Row is also the name for the strip down the road a bit that just has music business and studios all down it. I interned at a publicity company on music row back in the day. Glad you enjoyed it.
I’m a simple man, I see a new Metal Jesus video, I click and watch it. 🤘🏻
I definitely appreciate that!
Same 😎
I'm on the same boat, brother!
Always great vids bro =)
haha same, love it
As a Tennessean, I'm so glad you got to McKay's! There are several locations around the state.
seriously impressive store!

I have a question for the MJR crew: What are your guilty pleasure games?/Games that are bad but just have a special place in your heart and you come back to them every now and then.
Though many say that it's the worst or not a great zelda, mine is skyward sword.

There is something warm and satisfying about a new metal Jesus video.
The original real Faces Of Death II clamshell VHS!!! I used to have that shockumentary but sold it together will all my shockumentaries collection for $200 back in the day. Thanks for showing your adventures at the convention for those of us that can't go!👍

Thanks so much! 👍

Happy to see your back at it! I am going through a lot of dental work(don't neglect your teeth people!) and know the struggle is real. Looking forward to years of videos
4:17 that's actually pretty neat. Would be nice if game stores in my area did that
so glad you visited my city, this place has a huge culture of food and music, great retro gaming stores here too! mckays and both game trader stores are fantastic
I know what I’m watching when I get home from work later. Can’t wait for another great MJR video!
Excellent, MJR. Would be exciting to see MJR on the top of any arcade high score!
That's Broadway not Music Row. Music Row is a few miles away where all the recording studios and the record labels are headquartered. Cool to see you at Game Trader. Love the place.
Weird, I got confused cuz on maps on the phone one would show it and then another would be totally different! LOL
It’s TH-camrs like MJR that heightened my passion for retro gaming. His channel introduced me to Radical Reggie and Kelsey Lewis. I live close by Seattle to so I’ve been wanting to game with them sometime.

100%
The legend is back! Rock on! 😎🤟
Mckay's also has stores in Chattanooga and Knoxville. They're pretty overwhelming at times, but it's a nice place to get some media.
Great stuff man! Glad you dug McKay's, it's probably my favorite store here. There is another place you need to check out called The Great Escape the next time you visit. Also, hilariously accurate about the overwhelming drunk crowd on music row.
Awesome video! I’ve lived outside Nashville ever since I was born. I haven’t been in a while, so It’s kinda of cool to see such familiar places!
I DREAM of returning to McKay’s. My GOODNESS that place is AMAZING.
Shout-out to the goats who remember it as Edward mckays
AHHH! I have been trying to find the Faces of Death collection on VHS for years. Another great B roll video man, I love watching these when you put them out.
I would never expect to see a Faces of Death box just out in the open like that. 9:23
Always love these hunting videos! Great pickups man
Welcome back. Very excited for new MJR content. Hope your surgery went “as good as can be expected”.
Lived in Middle Tennessee my whole life. Game trader is an awesome store as well as McKays. The big Nashville Flea Market at the Fairgrounds is always a great place to find games. Also The Great Escape has some retro goodness. Cool video!
Nashville is a beautiful city! The culture and the people in Nashville are great!
MJR is back!!!! 🍻
Back for the Attack 🤘
I’m so happy you are back brother. Your videos give me so much joy. Love ya bro!
dude, music row is where all the music labels are along Music Square. where you were was at the honkey tonks along Broadway. great to see you came to visit though! (YES, I live there)
This trip seemed awesome!!! I'd love tour places like this in 🇺🇸 BUT I'm from 🇬🇧 so maybe in my future years lol
Glad you had a great time in Nashville. If you ever visit any other part of the state, you'll find a McKay's in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Clarksville.
Welcome to Nashville. McKays has been my home for YEARS. That scratched section has been a weekly visit for me…
Did you check The Great Escape pc games?!
Glad you enjoyed your time!
Glad to have you in Lebanon! My hometown. Glad you enjoyed Nashville!
I'm working on getting a video game convention setup here in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I hope I'll be lucky enough to have people like Metal Jesus visit it
Welcome back!!! and a travel vlog of all videos what a treat
Ola’ from a Riu resort in Cancun!! Welcome back, Jason!! Great video, brother! Good to see you all again!
So great you are well and back... loved the pickups and the event. That Circus Convoy is amazing 🙂 Also nice to see you are a fan of Time Pilot... I fell in love with that game last time I went to Arcade Club in the UK.
Time Pilot is my jam 🤘
@@MetalJesusRocks yes me as well.. The game Yoshiki Okamoto got fired over at Konami, as he was supposed to be making a driving game LOL ... still I think based on all his work he went on to do at Capcom... he did pretty well for himself :P
The Konami Time Pilot on XBLA is pretty good... the art is touched up slightly if set (can switch off) and its a great way to play at home.
I am chuffed for me as bought the Arcade 1UP Atari Couchcade in the sale... So great to have my fav arcade games like Centipede, Tempest and Crystal Castle on a trackball and spinner in the home finally. 🙂
I have a lot of free play to do on Time Pilot and more particularly TP84 to get to $1 per hour of enjoyment. I put a lot of paper-route earned quarters into those machines.
Mount Rainer is such a site to see from the plane I always love seeing it when I fly to Washington.
I have an internet pal that lives in Snohomish, which is a little bit south of Seattle. He's always going on about that old volcano. I'm sure it's just amazing to see.
If you want to take a risk on buying a scratched disc, local libraries often have a disc polisher and will run your personal disc through it for free. Used CD/DVD shops also have them and charge only a nominal fee to run it for you to see if it will fix any playback issues.
I’ve always wanted to do a road trip of the US, so watching your videos and seeing a combination of travel and games is awesome! Fantastic video as always!
it's always a treat to be a stowaway on your travels mj. those were some great finds in nashville too!
Wow , I have to take a trip up there soon and check out all the gaming stores out ! Great video as always . Glad your back !
Nashvillian here. Makes me so so happy to see this episode. I have always wondered if you've been to McKays. Awesome video.
