Holy crap dude! I want those! Awesome grab

I got all 3 of those box sets they are awesome!

I've been hesitant to get these because:
1. I already have these albums
2. I heard that they rerecorded some of the vocal tracks(Phil's)

I would have no idea what was rerecorded if anything. I don't have the originals. But even so who cares because these are really great. I didn't even really like Genesis when I bought these. I found them cheap on amazon and just bought them because bands I listen to seem to have liked them at some poinit or another. I couldn't pass it up. I've liked it ever since

Phil Collins I think but even that starts to die out towards the end. I really haven't given the Gabriel era a good listen though. Some stuff was just a little too wierd for me but I did like it I just need to listen to it. I got all of those boxes around the same time so it was hard to listen to all of it at once. Theres just so much in those boxes between the dvds and the extra cd and the books. They are really great box sets.

Went to Movie Trading Company to sell some CDs (I'm trying to sell various stuff to make up for some of my irresponsible spending this year) and while waiting for the results, I discovered the had new copies of the an album I've been anticipating so I used some of the proceeds to buy it:

VH's F.U.C.K. is a great album! Pity it came a bit too late in the piece (with grunge and what not superseding hard rock and metal) but personally I've always considered it the best of the Van Hagar releases. It is the most consistent sounding album and unlike 5150 and OU812 it has much heavier songs, almost harking back to their early days pre-1984.

I lost all interest in Van Halen after this album though. I haven't even looked into the newer songs with DLR and Sammy Hagar (the ones that appeared on the best ofs ... I heard they were decent though but I am not going to fork out cash for just 2 new songs).

It was my first VH album. I knew the hits before then, but I'd never owned an album. I bought them after, but I sold all their stuff while in the military, so I'm starting to buy them again. Not sure I've heard Balance before. Either way, F.U.C.K. brought back some memories when I rocked it last night.

I much prefer the DLR era of Van Halen but I think the Sammy Hagar was also very good I think F.U.C.K. and Balance where the best albums that line up ever did.

Excellent haul and 21 Guns was Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy fame very short lived band but I never heard their music.

I like 21 GUNS. They were a melodic hard rock band, and not much to do with THIN LIZZY´s HEAVY ROCK type of music. They had some great songs. I have DEMOLITION with demos songs and it just kick ass. If SALUTE would have come out 3 years before (back in 89) i think today it would be a classic for many people. Now its only for a few.

Today:

Accept - Blood Of The Nations (w/Bonus Track)
Sick Of It All - Death To Tyrants
Soilwork - The Panic Broadcast (CD/DVD w/Bonus Track)
Whitesnake - Snakebite **
