I wish I had a record store near me owned by someone like Anthony.
I love all the videos with Anthony.
Maybe because I agree with him in 99% of cases 😀
The record companies just don’t care about us😢.
Tell me that's not true! 😭
@@VincentBautista365 ……lol 🤭
is there a Santa Claus??@@VincentBautista365
Money that’s all.
*WOW: A SIREN Shirt in 2023!!! You're killing me, Dave! That anybody outside of Germany could remember this great band from Florida surprises me very much!!*
I doubt, that even Brendon Snyder knows them... as the two records back in the 80ies were only released here on smaller labels...
But "A Mercenary's Fate" is a killer record after such a looooong time!!!
Very cool!! I’m glad I’m not the only one that caught that. I saw a great documentary on Siren on You Tube. Highly recommend.🤘
Awesome Cinderella t-shirt! Great video guys.
Dude!! The guy in the middle has a Siren shirt on!! Great documentary on those guys on TH-cam!! Very cool!! 😎 🤘
i hate when albums are only in vinyl…i’ve never owned a record player
A long time ago, Bob Dylan said, "Money doesn't talk, it swears", and we see it in the price of vinyl, especially.
Amazing SIREN shirt. Increible, never seen one. Underrated band.
Record store owners need to get together across the country and boycott selling records that charge too much (wholesale) for their records. Start with a letter to them. If you stood together, wholesalers would have to reduce their prices, because the USA market is huge.
Touring bands charge you way less for the same merchandise overseas. In Mexico city, Depeche Mode was charging $35 for the same freakin t shirt I wanted on their show here in Texas. They do that because outside the venue in Mexico, the streets were flooded with counterfit merch with same or better quality than the originals for half price. We need that here in the U.S.
I always bought ts outside the show. Better for sure!
remember when metallica called their EP $5.98?, cuz it was the label looking to gouge the fans. oh how the turn tables have turned.
Agree with most all of what y'all are saying here.
Thanks Brendon, Dave, and Anthony.
The concert merch is partially due to Live Nation and the venue taking a huge cut. I watched a video of a tour manager breaking down the cuts that are taken for each show and its absurd. The band makes a tiny fraction of all the money thats made off their merch
Love the Anthony/Brandon dynamic. The roundtable discussions are always my favourite videos.
I'm ticked off of how much metal shirts costs on a band's website. Sometimes 40 to 50 bucks for a shirt?? come on!! I go to Amazon for my metal shirts, but they don't carry a lot of bands i love. uggg!!😠
I agree! Merch prices are insane nowadays and it drives me nuts.
I do hate when bands put something out on only 1 format.
that was me calling the store, didn't make it up that day, but I'll be there soon.
You guys really nailed all the things that get under my skin about the record biz. Great video as always. More of the dynamic duo of music!!!!
great comments.. so true about the high price points in new records.
I have little idea about disposable incomes for people in the states or anywhere else but buying/collecting physical media from my pov is a luxury. Perfectly possible to be a fan and listen to every release by streaming.
You’re 100% correct with how prices are going. It is quickly become a luxury owning physical music. I live in Canada, CDs are now costing 20,30,40+ dollars for a brand new single CD. Vinyls are even more, close to $100. It’s ridiculous.
As much as I love buying CDs, I stream most of my stuff now because I just can’t justify paying those prices anymore. Especially not in this economy with inflation and prices for life essentials (food, bills, gas for the car, etc).
🤘😎🤘 I enjoy your ranting on these topics. 🤘😎🤘
Gary Holt is awesome. Just saw Exodus kill it Saturday night
sadly i don’t know of any record stores within 90 miles of me
Never knew Mandy Patinkin was so into music.
These are your best videos. Awesome!!!!
Really enjoy this videos great topics
merch prices have been obscene for decades.
Love this content guys. Loved the dude in the green jacket very funny. Cheers 🍻
Good to see that Mellencamp's band are still playing...in here tube..many good records... not just painting 👍🎄🎄🎄
This is a great video. I love the insight on pricing and distribution.
I enjoyed the video. I agree with everything you guys said and all these things piss me off too. The prices of New CDs is what really grinds my gears.
They’re getting greedy again with CD prices. This is what turned people toward Napster/getting music for free/low price streaming in the first place.
@@jimmycampbell78
Yep! And that’s what I plan on doing from here on out (streaming all my music off Spotify). I’m not paying these ridiculous prices anymore.
Awesome SIREN shirt! Saw them at Keep It True 2018. \m/
The other part of concert & touring is the meet n greet, status/fan club packages for shows….remember when we could have the artist sign stuff for free w/ free meet n greets…..pre-Internet. Now do tue E-Bay & the Internet, autograph seekers get autographs and then sell them online for X-hundreds of dollars the artists don’t see any any $$$.
Brilliant video !!
I will give Anthony a bit of time to calm down before contacting him about a Sound Exchange sticker!!! He seemed quite angry today !!! (Understandably so !!)
!!!😂
Every single Lp $19.98 double LP $23.98 , that would catch my attention now days. Guess we need to time travel . Wake me up when we get there. I have some LP’s for the late 70’s with price stickers of 4.98, as a matter of Fact I believe one was Gold Earring To the Hilt. I remember when cds first came out and they where so expensive I could only afford a very small collection. I’ll pay $2 all day long for used cd’s now.
This Brendan is so much better than the squeaky clean version
I agree with Brendon - the new Skid Row album is awesome... it sounds 10 times better than anything Bach has released lately
I actually like it when a band continues with a member of their family (cousin, younger brother, son, daughter,...), because how closer to the root can you get? They might not have the experience but they were actually born and raised (probably) by the band. So yes, it feels right to me.
Tribute bands are not my thing but if this is the only way people are gonna be able to enjoy Live music when all of our heroes are dead, then so be it. I think it doesn't make sense now because original musicians are still there but in a 100 years they won't, so maybe Rock music will be like Classical music played by new generations of people.
Cheers.
However, whether my other comment about the mindset of industry suits is wrong or right (and I sincerely hope it’s wrong), I’m really enjoying your channel and I love your chats at the record store. I have similar chats at mine but it’s fun to hear other perspectives
I love seeing other stores too
Though I’m a vinyl person, and I do sometimes wish you showed more rare metal vinyl. However, there’s other channels who *just* do that, and I enjoy those too
the cure showed the way to do concerts. lower the prices and had the best tour ever and best tour of the year! even the merch at the concert was cheap, shirts were 25.00 a piece.
Whoever is telling our favorite bands/artists to raise the prices of their CDs/vinyl does not care about the fans! All they care about is taking away our money, but their greed is hurting the music industry even more. New fans and music collectors want to purchase albums by their favorite bands, but they can't afford the insane prices, so they turn to streaming services instead. Because less people are buying physical media, artists get most of their income from touring and merchandise, which is why I had to pay $50 for a Queen + Adam Lambert shirt when I saw them live last month.
I'm a traditionalist. Once a band no longer uses their original singer, i'm done with them. They're just a cover band now. Here me ?...Journey, Alice In Chains, Van Halen, Skid Row, etc..
What about AC/DC and Dio Sabbath then🤔
Anthony seeing quicksand next month. How was the merch???
I just wish Laurie money will release Eddie's brand new day on LP & CD. It's a great record and it's not seeing the light of day because of Mrs money. If Eddie was still around he would definitely release it
Wish digipaks would go and everything go back to jewel cases.Not a fan of Digipaks at all they dont hold up and look cheap and sacrifice alot of material being left out like the sleeve,linear notes.I try not to get anything in Digipak but sometimes you have no choice.
I’m super grateful for the fact that my local has a couch, because I have a heart condition and can’t stand that long, and the guy often chats to me about music and records and recommends me stuff. Then again, I’m a regular and spend all my disposable income in his store 😅
As for the record industry- greedy, rich fucks can’t get their heads around the fact t that people can’t find $40. They just can’t grasp it. To them it’s nothing. They figure if you love you band then you can find the money. They are really that out of touch.
Plus tbh a lot of them want physical media to die. They want the stores to go under. They want collectors like me to go away.
They want to run everything through an algorithm that mixes it automatically, stick some zero effort artwork on the front, bung it on Spotify, do literally nothing else, pay the artists nothing, and continuously and permanently remove older and less popular stuff from streaming services and just funnel everyone into whatever the latest artist, rapper or band is
I honestly think that’s what they want
And shops and collectors, to them, are just getting in the way
Maybe I’m wrong. I truly hope I am
What store does Dave own? And what was his record label?
Vinyl Addiction Records. My label was Rocket Science Records back in the 90’s
I’m upset I wasn’t able to get the Olivia Rodrigo Black Friday RSD. Had no way to get to a store. On that day I checked eBay and I was even more crossed by the prices. People are selling a 4 track $21.99 vinyl over $100!
Can you or Anthony figure this out. On dec 17 I saw a wu tang clan 26 chambers it was 20.16 it was of course at walmart ( maine)
Why are record labels still making exclusive deals with Target? Last time I looked, Target stocked about 8 titles. There's no way Target deserves any kind of exclusive release with additional tracks. Instead, labels should be looking to reward independent stores and providing them with titles with bonus tracks. If you haul your butt into a store that actually knows something about music, you should get rewarded with something extra. I'm sure that was the original intention behind RSD, but it seems like it's morphed into something else.
yet record stores charge more for vinyl pressings example what is he selling that hellacopters paying the dues vinyl in the background is it worth more because its third pressing compared to a new pressing cost of the pressing in vid would have been around 20
Record companies want more and more money from us
It would make sense 😂
Same goes for CDs (see below) A single CD in a Jewel case shouldn't cost me more than $10, and a CD/DVD or CD/CD digipak no more than $16, and CD/CD/DVD no than $20. I don't give a sh-t what's on there. And EP's half price, if the artist is lazy to create 12 good tracks of music. Artists like Neil Young who slap 12 tracks on a disk and sell it when there is one or two good tracks on it is bullshit. Or these European bands who sell there music for 26 bucks and then we get screwed even more due to the currency rate exchange like Moon Safari Vol 2, or fail to produce enough stock like Cats in Space, then, can't deliver it in two weeks or less. Am I pissed off enough?
Here's an example. In 1994 i remember buying REM's "Monster" CD for $12.99 & Alice In Chains' "Jar Of Flies" ep CD for $6.99. I miss the 90's !
As for the KISS avatar, I wish they’d take this opportunity to make some new music and include everyone from all eras in this experiment. You could have the non-makeup era avatars as well as the makeup era avatars. KISS could make some new music that fits both eras without people being creeped out by old guys singing songs they shouldn’t be singing as older men, because the age appropriate avatars are the ones singing. Honestly, if done right, Paul and Gene could even work out deals with Ace and Peter for licensing their avatar images and contracting for new music from those guys as well as Vinnie Vincent or Bruce. I could see people picking a show from the KISS era they loved with a few new songs included in the avatar set list. Hell, I would go see that at a movie theater or small arena with other KISS fans.
The world does NOT need more music from those frauds !!!!!!
Lars Ulrich is renowned for his love of making money and being rich. Of course, Metalicca are going to milk the market while they can. A real fan unfortunately, will succumb to the price. Another example is Dark Side Of The Moon! How many remastered, remastered versions is enough. The Doors, how many remastered anniversary editions are supposed to replace the previous version?
Cassettes should be sold between $4-$8.
🤣😂🤣
I'm with Anthony on Skid Row. There's definitely bands who changed singers and carried on, in some cases better than before (AC/DC, Helloween, Savatage, Amorphis come to mind) but imo the Skids aren't one of them. Vocalists are probably the toughest, changeable component of the band equation to get right.
You’re right but AC/DC is not a great example. A top 5 listing of any AC/DC albums will almost always have 4 of those with Bon Scott. Every album after BIB pales in comparison to any from the Scott era.
I really want the Nirvana - Nevermind Mobile Fidelity CD in the background.
I listen to 22 minutes - almost the only topic was price gouging.
its worth discussing.
@@brucybabyy7355 yes but prices are way too high everywhere grocery etc it’s terrible- but the whole video?
Yelling and being disrespectful to the fans it's just a job
