Usd to but stopped circa 2001 due to postage cost, selection and poor quality (reckon heaps were using cd master). Have circa 400 or so.
Dissection - 'Storm of the Light's Bane'. As brilliant today as it was in 1995.

Was just playing through Thorns of Crimson Death on the newest axe.
Inclusive of acoustic intro? It's a pretty cool riff. Jon N was not short of a riff....

Nice. I have circa 4k but have now run out of room in shelving so they go on the floor. Need to resolve it.
You need a bigger floor??
Can't quite fathom so many cds you guys must have. Staggering.
5k cds...approx 2500 vinyl..plus the rest..space and storage issues - welcome to my world. ...yep.you get it!

Yeah. Bad habit but could be worse. Pretty sure one of the guys who used to work at Missing Link when it was in Flinders Lane had a ridiculous vinyl collection (talking in the thousands) which he stored in his garage. This was late 90s. Wonder how it is now? I had a friend who used to spend every dollar he earned on music (unfortunately died from cancer in his 30s). His collection was huge too.

Probably seen you at record stores over the years. I started going to Pipe Imports around 89 and it snowballed from there.
Leaping Larry? Was talking to friends about the burden of a large collection when one dies...where does it go...would the person u leave it to.want it?? Do they offload it for next to nothing...not aware of the rarities..i recently offloaded one cd for 550 US to a serious collector...cash convertors would have paid 20 cents?...morbid topic but interesting for collectors...one mans trash hey lol

The Stay Hungry tour yeah? Did you go? Got the album the xmas it was released but was in grade two that year so a bit young for the concert. Did they come in 84 or 85? Remember buying Under The Blade in 85 at my local record store in Diamond Creek. Got a bit excited with the f-bomb in Shoot 'Em Down and my old man made me take it back for exchange for some 'Best Hits of 85' shit. Just bought the vinyl the next year at CC Records in Greensborough. Haha.

Was Nigel at Missing Link. My friend who died I assume has left it with his parents or girlfriend. Huge collection. If they contacted me to ask for advice on what to do with it would assist - obviously need specialist knowledge. What was the cd you sold? Sounds like a limited/private pressing of something from the 80s.
We probably know each other...i know Daniel ..." whom have you been up to!? " was going to pipe from tge 80s when he was selling more electronic industrial. ..and when heavy metal like early Scorps / Loudness imports etc

I like the classical interludes on The Somberlain. At once both opposite and complementary to the songs proper; the album wouldn't be what it is without them.

Inclusive of the Caribbean intro. For some reason the part that has always given me the most grief is the little runs in the intro riff (after the clean one). It's just a standard minor run but it's something that I have to nail first time otherwise the more I play it the more I balls it up and no matter how much shred I learn that one simple run can get me unstuck.
Speaking of playing though, one of the best bands to learn stuff from to practice is Opeth MAYH through to Blackwater Park. The songs are long with a lot of riffs but they're actually really well written and require a lot of different techniques to learn. I have been playing The Moor for the past month because hybrid pick + finger playing with constantly moving chord shapes was never a strength of mine (not something that's common in black and death metal!), but now it is
The same for me.
