no la many of us still new into metal. I also can be consider new because this is only 5-6 years my journey of metal. Kinozawa recommended several shop because he is old timer and he mention Nebiula, Acoustic and Auntie. And Kedai Auntie seem the most reliable. I didn't know that shop is so near with my study place and rent house. I guess next sem i'm gonna plan my budget wise.

Agreed!


Acoustic? Huh.. They don't mind putting CDs at high prices. We understand their reason, some CDs are imported via internet or by foreign suppliers (mostly Singapore). But it's funny when customers mention about high price, they quickly suggest that they can copy the CD to CDR for RM20. So imagine with rare titles, they got lot of profits by duplicating the originals. I don't know whether they still doing that or not. Oh well.. It just business.

When I was in record store business, "Best Buy" Cds and "Remasters" and "Reissues" CDs were all around RM 38-RM49.. and those were from local suppliers.

As for kedai "Auntie", anybody with Google skills can be so called "Metal Expert" these days. Sometimes I think that she's trying too much to blend in. Again, it just business. If you want to sell something, you have to know your products. Can't really blame her. Actually "Uncle" knows a lot of 80s Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands. But really choosy on customer he wants to talk about it. Some of old metallers named it (Sifu Syndrome).

As for Khannaz boys' shop.. I like the shop because he never bother asking you "Mau cari CD apa?".. They just let you do your browsing. For me, when I enter a CD store, I'm not a fan of people following me and asking me what CD that I'm looking for. I mean, leave me alone, man. I can help myself. I like to browse each rows of the CD section to make sure I don't miss anything. Hehehe.

It's hard to find good CD store nowadays. I miss the old days. You have to be rajin in surveying. Best bet is to be friend with fellow listeners. You might get lucky when old timers decide to sell some of their stuff. Second hand market not bad either.

Oh.. For those who looking for second hand turntables can check at Mudah.my.

Acoustic Music doing a pirate business too?

rm15 for a single cd oni.. never reach rm20

Alamak, rather than paying RM15 for CDR, might as well save up and get the real thing!!
I mean, its the same as downloading, only thing the latter being FREE!
Support the artists first, then the pirates!!

I think that shop really can do well in this industry with their product and why must tarnish their reputation by doing pirating stuff?

yeah.. real metalhead should support band thier like

Yeahhh i agreed with you on uncle, because he so talkative with me in the past... lol.. Auntie knows what's my taste as well.. So long didn't stop by in the shop.. Got really busy days working nowadays... I'll be in the gigs when i'm free, or my friend's band perform on that day too.. I'm so happy that my old friend from Aradia has re-unite back... They'll release something later....

As for Jaie's shop, in the past (1999-2000) i've always hang out there while they're still on the old shop lot, in the corner.. remember? Previously NMS was very big but now turn to be smaller because of slow reaction on metal scene. PPL love to downloading stuff even it's available in the local shop. I can't understand with this people... sorry. It's because in the past, i've felt of how hard i wanna grab some of metal stuff. I appreciated of metal attitude and ethics as well. I will not likely to buy metal pirate CD/cassette/t-shirt while there's the official merchandise are available unless 'bootleg' t-shirt which offering different design from the official merchandise of the band or if the stuff is very rare it will be excused if you're downloading/dubbing them ...

hahaha thanks for your mentioned about turntable... anyway, i just finished hang out with an old friend earlier by today.. a friend from Spermblast had suggest me to go to Amcorp mall. Got a lot of 2nd hand turntable there.. So i can test and pick-up which i like... I think you know him.. He really got a lot of LPs & rare stuff too..

Luckily today i got an original t-shirt of death thrash metal band from canada, Dissection.. yeayyyyyy.... very rare!! hahahahhahaha.... it's not a Swedish black metal band which got the same name... Dissection canada was an old band before the existence of swedish Dissection So when you see someone wearing this t-shirt on the gigs, it's me by the way... I love to collect rare & old band t-shirt... It's reminds me of the past time too

kudos to bands that still uphold their legacy from before
if theyre going to a new direction, they better be good or else u know what

not seeing many doing this though.. any good bands doing good new music, diff from their old stuff?

Ok guys, need some help. Can ya'll recommend me some good ol'skool metal bands that used to rock the 80's/90's? Apart from the obvious bands such as Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden etc..
Need it for my General Studies thesis and later on music even we're gonna hold. I'm in charge of the rock genre, so yeah, bring em on mates!! I know I'm at the right place for sho!

Exodus, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead, Motley Crue

vinesh>> your thesis about metal shit? cool

Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead, Motley Crue..
got ori albums from these bands except anthrax and pantera..
totally forgot about megadeth, exodus and slayer, thanks mate!!!
gonna checkout exodus now, if they're good, i'll hunt down a cd when i go to sg next

haha, yeap, supposed to be about world music over different generations and eras..its a group effort kinda thing,so we divided ourselves into genres, i was first to pick rock, like duh!! hahaha

hope for more help guys, keep it coming!!
how cool that i can use this thread as an official info source for my paper!

You pick rock? But metal isn't rock isn't it?

No no, i mean rock and all/any rock/metal genres related to it..basically anything that makes you wanna SCREEEEAAAAAMMMMMM!!! or at least bob your head up and down and do the air guitar/drums..LOL

The genre itself is very wide i guess, so can hentam loads of stuff into it as long as i do enough reading on each sub genre...even metal branches into many sub genres, gonna have to read and try to differentiate between them now..wish me luck bro!

i'm kind of an old-school rock/metal fan. Motley Crue, Black Sab, Scorpions ... xD ... not really into many modern genres like nu-metal & post-metal.

btw, that fairy tale post on the very first page is just classic. kekeke laughing like an idiot

vinesh - try to find those documentaries on thrash metal - got a few around. - then you surely can get more info on the roots of everything in a jiffy...from that, you can simply summarise that thrash metal is 'invented' by Dave Mustaine...

well, i kinda agree....coz without Mustaine, there's no Kill Em All...and there's no Megadeth vs Megadeth conflict...

the reason i'm more slanting towards thrash is because all so-called extreme metal that we hear nowadays - if you wanna talk about something faster than heavy metal - are all rooted to thrash. And all is kinda linked to Metallica - where the early heavy stuff were all mostly written by Mustaine (Hetfield and Ulrich did some writing too ... but i guess it was Mustaine's work that actually inevitably 'created' thrash)

thrash till death yo!
