Edguy "Tinnitus Sanctus"

After Pride Of Creation (which is really the only song I remember, despite it's silly lyrics), I can't remember a damn thing from this album.

Considering your age, there's probably a lot you can't remember.

The paper isn't as thick a stock, you can see ink lines on the CD from where the rollers went over it, and the ink on the CD and in the booklet isn't as bright and crisp, same with the text. And then you can often check the CD manufacturer info itself, and it'll often point back to well-known bootlegger favorites like Sonopress.

Well, so much for that theory.

The paper used for the booklet in my copy is so thick that the damn thing keeps falling out of the slot. It also came with an insert for other Nuclear Blast releases included inside the shrinkwrap.

Doesn't sound like a bootleg to me.

The guy may sell bootlegs elsewhere but I'm pretty sure my copy of this album is legit.

That said, since I think the album sucks, I don't really care either way.

Not quite a theory when I've bought enough from the guy to know better.

Sad but true.

Yea my edguy or any other cds that I have bought from him dont fit any of those descriptions. Who knows.

And if I can't tell the difference, I don't care.

I did say they were high quality. And maybe the guy sells some originals. Who knows. He definitely deals in boots, though.

I emailed the guy, just for laughs, and asked him if his CDs were bootlegs.

His reply: "What's your definition of a bootleg?"





I think that pretty much confirms what Easy E was telling us.

And pretty sure the UNIVERSAL definition of "bootleg" is "something that doesn't come from the actual record label".

God!

Whether he does or not, his answer should be "No!" no matter which is true. Haha.
