I didnt think that it was ilegal to download here. but I doubt I would be fined or prosecuted. was thinking more about right and wrong than the law though.

Out of print works the same as books. The fact that it isn't in print doesn't mean it isn't under copyright. Just ask Amazon. Copyright does expire but they are also moving to change that number of years IMO for monitary gain.

Brian, I ignore everything you say to me because I don't want any more back and forths with people here
and I still feel like I did you wrong in the beginning. If you wouldn't see "Pumpkinhead" even if they paid you that's your right.

You want them downloaded out of existence because I would rather pay for their stuff than Van Halen's.
I don't even understand half of what you're pissed about. Fair play if I can jump in a car and drive to Detroit to
see bands I've seen? What???
MRH isn't big and you and others walked out on them, man my feelings are hurt now. I'm purposely keeping
this civil. I've already deleted a couple of comments. (Trying to keep the peace even though I have no clue why.)
Maybe you could explain what your problem with me is.
I don't do anything to you.

Shouldn't be too hard considering the numbers I saw at both concerts I happened to attend only because they were on the bill. Right before I joined the masses and walked out, that is.

Nope. Don't like the comment, Bud. You proclaim to like the new VH but stole it while you obviously had the $ to actually buy it. Simply decided to spend it elsewhere such as other CDs, concerts and the gas to get you there.
We aren't kids anymore so that "copying a tape" excuse doesn't fly. Use a gun next time you decide to steal. At least you'll show some real cojones.

@ Guido...didn't buy that album but I did steal it. I like it. I think it ranks up there with some of the early stuff.
A few shit songs but that's the norm for them. Overall a good album.
My last purchase was Saturday night at MRH's Halloween show. I bought
TENAFLY VIPER "the queen, the night and the liars"
It's a solo disc from one of the MRH vocalists. It's completely different than MRH. It's more straightforward hard rock and metal.
I think some here may enjoy it. I'm listening to a song right now called "Man On The Corner". A slower melodic song. Really good stuff.
I may post a video if I can find something on Youtube.

I agree on lochness. I cant get my head around any of the Nost stuff.

Bought exactly the way it should be done. Like most of the music we collectively like, the only song I heard with VERY limited airtime on only one radio station (achBONEYARDoo) didn't exactly float my boat "Tattoo" - first thought: meh. Then, with all the crew on "That Metal Show" saying that it was the worst song on the album, I downloaded it. Damned if they weren't right! While I already had the album, I dig the artwork and also like to PAY for what I like. Bought a legal copy at Wallyworld yesterday.
Any David Lee Roth + Van Halen fan needs this recording. I think it is damn good. Shame Michael Anthony isn't on it but Wolfie does hold his own.
