My luck at used CD stores on my route continues. From Half Price Books:

Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... - Limited Edition Digipak, Remastered with 10 bonus tracks

Accept - Russian Roulette (CD w/ bonus tracks)

Stryper - God Damn Evil

Believe it or not, I had no Slade music at all (unless you count covers of Slade songs by other bands).  Well today when I was grocery shopping, a song was playing over the store PA and I really liked it.  I kept hearing the lyric "See the chameleon lying there in the sun, all things to everyone run, run away."

So when I got home I looked it up and it's yet another Slade song.  So I just ordered this Greatest Hits comp:

Running Wild - Masquerade

Anthrax - Attack of the Killer B's (cassette)

Freedom Call - Dimensions (CD)
Freedom Call - Circle of Life (CD)

Le Mans - On the Streets (vinyl)
Krokus - The Blitz (vinyl)
Krokus - Metal Rendezvous (vinyl)


I hit up an awesome independent shop on the way back from my niece's softball game. less than $30 for everything. The Freedom Call discs were $2 each!

I couldn't help myself. Today I stopped back at Half Price Books. I started out rummaging through their clearance section which I realized I hadn't done at this particular location. I had mined the clearance section of just about every HPB in my area and never found anything after doing so. Here I found quite a bit:




When I saw the back of the CD, I knew this was right up my alley!




I got this merely for the novelty (all the clearance CDs were just $2 bucks). Just check out some of the song titles:

Save The Whales (Eat A Dolphin)
Fingering Aminor
Fingering Amajor
Your God Is Dead (So Worship Me Instead)
Feline Asphyxiation
Satan Killed My Dog

Obviously a joke band mocking death metal stereotypes.

After that, I went ahead and looked through the main section again and found they had added a lot of new stuff. Some of which I already have (like Symphony X-Twilight In Olympus) but found some good folk metal (all under $6):

went to the flea market, found a bunch of CD's, the guy was asking 50 cents each, so I bought a mess load. I like Billy Joel, Carly Simon, and Peter Frampton, but its not something I would have picked it up, if it was not so cheap, anyhow here it is:

Bon Jovi- The Crush Tour ( DVD)
Bon Jovi-Lost Highway
Journey- Greatest Hits Live
Frank Zappa- You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Volume 6
Frank Zappa- Broadway the Hardway
Captain Beefheart- Trout Fish Replica
Foo Fighters- Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace
Billy Joel- The Nylon Curtain
Billy Joel-River of Dreams
Billy Joel- The Essential Billy Joel
Dave Matthews Band-Best of What's Around Volume 1
Crowded House- Recurring Dreams: The Very Best of Crowded House
Grand Funk Railroad- Caught in the Act
Sarah McLachlan- Solace
Linda Ronstadt- Greatest Hits Volume II
Neil Diamond- 12 Songs
Elton John- Hotel Chateau
Peter Frampton-Frampton Comes Alive
Lena Horne- Being Myself
Carly Simon- No Secrets

Mississippi Bones - Radio Free Conspiracy Theory
Mississippi Bones - Tracks
Nixons, The - Song Of The Year (EP)
Pharaoh - After The Fire
Pharaoh - Ten Years (EP)

That track interested me.  First of all I was immediately intrigued by the name "Mississippi Bones".  I wasn't sure what to expect but I figured there would be some kind of southern influence and the vocals on that song sort of have that.  But then there's also a kind of "stoner vibe" like Monster Magnet or Queens Of The Stone Age. 

I checked out a few tracks from the 2600AD album on YouTube and it seems like my latter impression dominates their sound.  Am I wrong?

Motley Crue- Red, White and Crue
Motley Crue-Saints of Los Angeles
Black Label Society- Kings of Damnation
Killswitch Engage- The End of the Heartache
Deep Purple- Knocking at Your Back Door: Best of Deep Purple in the 80's

I love 80s Deep Purple!

"Now she eases gently from her Austin to her Bentley, suddenly she feels so young..."

Kind of like a stoner geek version of Clutch, I guess.

I don't want to use the headbanger guy because Quireboys aren't even remotely "metal" but nice pickup

EDIT:  Hey I just read the rest of the list!  Johnny Crash and Lord Tracy ("She's a bitch!!!!").  Nice haul!

Jorn - Heavy Rock Radio

I had the Quireboys debut, A Bit of What You Fancy, on tape some 20+ years ago. I was gonna get it again, but decided on the "best of" instead. If I enjoy it, I might invest in some more of their back catalog. I like their brand of Faces/Stones boozy pub rock.

The Lord Tracy and Johnny Crash cds were pure luck on ebay. I got them both pretty cheap, compared to what they usually go for.

A Sound Of Thunder - It Was Metal

 Then check out early Diamond Dogs and Dog d'Amour if you haven't already.  Same style.

Vinyl:

Megadeth - Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good - The Final Kill - gatefold, black vinyl with 10 bonus tracks
