sad news this update:
PAUL BALOFF (April 25th, 1960 - February 2nd, 2002)
Original EXODUS frontman Paul Baloff
passed away just before noon on February 2nd, 2002 at the age of 41. He will
be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Paul. You will live in our hearts forever.
RIP.
-Small
upgrade on the Sardonyx page with
a couple new photos, including a picture of myself on stage with the band.
-Added some photos to the KISS CD page and added the KISS
bootleg section. Also, finally added some KISS
ALIVE facts. Will eventually get to the rest of their albums.
-Plenty of new cds added. As usual, all new discs marked with *NEW*
For a more detailed update list and a list of past updates, click here.
Welcome to my cd gallery, where I have listed and commented on every cd I own. None of these, unless noted in a very few instances, are CDR copies. All are originals. I am quite anal about my collection, so unless you see it on my trade page, chances are I won't part with it. This is MY collection, and is not necessarily meant to be an all exclusive discography on every band, although in some cases it may be.
OK,
I know, there are some non-metal discs in this list. So-what!!!
Sometimes I dig the Blues, somtimes I enjoy some old progressive rock like
Yes & Genesis and...gasp!..sometimes even some Gospel music like Keith
Green. Many metal bands were inspired by these artists. Variety is the spice
of life, right!? Also I realize that by today's standards bands like Thin
Lizzy and Aersomith are considered hard rock rather than heavy metal, but
in the 70's these bands were heavy metal and were also the inspiration for
many more modern metal bands.
Also, I don't really care if you don't like so-called "poser" bands like Slaughter and Cinderella or not. If you don't like them, and you only like the heavier stuff, then so be it, this is not your page, it's mine. So, please do not waste your time sending me insipid emails about how this band "sucks" or that band is for "posers," as I really don't care.
So, I hope you enjoy checking out my collection. Feel free to comment. I'm always interested in new bands, so if you know of a disc or band that I might like, let me know about it.
Also below, find a list of my favorite bands, discs, etc. Enjoy!

Current
Playlist:
(OK, this is a new section I will try to
change monthly, but I have to say that I listen to music all day every day,
so this list is actually cds that get played several times in that month.
I actually bring 15 different discs to work with me every day; and that does
not include what I listen to in my car and at home. For a day by day playlist,
click here. Man, talk about anal!)
