Is $19.99 expensive for a CD there? That's pretty standard here, and not unusual to see CDs for more.

Now that I look back, I did that exact same thing when I first discovered 'Priest: illegaly downloaded their songs, bought the CD format when I had the money and erased the other ones. Once I downloaded all of JP's songs (and found out that it was illegal to do so), that was it.
Hmmm...

because of greedy record companies. You may not remember but when CD's first came out
it was hard to find one under $19.99. I bought many of those. Then I think about how many times
I overpaid for concerts and concert tee's and now it doesn't bother me to take music. For me it's
like revenge.
Sometimes downloads help bands.
(Ex.)I downloaded the MRH catalog and now
I love those guys. I've bought all their CD's except the first one and I've seen them 9 times. The
downloads led to me spending money on them. So without downloads alot of bands wouldn't be
heard at all. Except for the rich no one can afford everything out there so downloads lead to
discovery and that sometimes leads to money in the form of concerts, tee's, or other band merchandise.
I haven't downloaded anything Priest except one video that I don't think is for sale anyway. If you
want it and it's out there take it. Eventually they will figure out a way to stop it so take it while you can.

I don't really look hard for bands/artists, so there's also that. 11,000 songs just sounds like a sh*tload to me. If I had that many I would probably feel bad for leaving some songs/albums to gather cyber-dust.

If I'm correct you must be in your early twenties. With the internet you can get there in no time.
It took me twenty five years. I've only had the aid of a computer for a little more than two years.
What sucks for me is trying to find stuff I don't have. I wish Jimmy's "Check This Out" thread would
have taken off. That was such an awesome idea and could turn all of us on to new stuff if more
would have contributed. Take care!

That is still alot of music!! I don't think I'll even reach half of that in my lifetime! I have about 670 songs in my library...my entire CD collection, as well.

(Not purposely) but I exaggerated that a little. I thought I had around 11,800 and rounded up.
I saw your post so I checked and I have 11, 200. Pretty much my entire cd collection is on it.

You make a good point, I didn't even consider that.
I couldn't tell you how many in Cleveland watched Thin Lizzy. I made it a point not to.
I said before that I hated them but I use that term loosely sometimes. I never have cared
for them though and I don't have a single song of theirs on my iPod out of nearly 12,000.
I never thought they were heavy and I didn't like Phil Lynott's voice at all. (I probably spelled
his name wrong). Anyway, take care man.

perhaps the sheer number of priest vids on youtube slows them down?
3000 at your show? did anyone see thin lizzy? here they went on at 6 to less than 100 people est watching. by sets end there were less than a thousand from a crowd of almost 9000 total.
I watched their whole set.... never again.

I was checking out my page on youtube and noticed something interesting about my video views.
Before I post anything let me stress that I do not consider Mushroomhead to be better than Judas Priest.
I was checking total views. I'm not going to list song titles just numbers. These videos were put up two
weeks apart.
Total counts for Priest- Total counts for Mushroomhead-
90 491
131 775
96 450
232 699
164 1212
1425
1095
Does this mean anything? (No) but it is pretty interesting. Mushroomhead isn't even big outside of Cleveland
yet their numbers crush Priest. Actually, I find this a little disturbing. Outside of this site Priest is losing their fanbase.
People aren't interested in them anymore it seems. Gund Arena holds 25,000 people yet Priest only had about 3000
people there. Even though I got ripped for saying it maybe they are picking the right time to do a final tour. This tour
had to lose money, at least for the promoters, so I don't think anyone would be all that eager to promote them in the future.
I'm so glad (and grateful) for their longevity but I'm not noticing a future for them. I hope the new album kicks ass, my
guess is that it may be the final one. Just an opinion, only matters to me. |
