Your own personal METAL habitat

So, ya got any pics of the place you go - where the spouse and/or kids can't bug ya? A place where you can put on your fav album and crank it to 11? Show us!

These are some pics of my little piece of utopia. Took a long time and alot of effort, but so worth it!

Everyone needs a "happy place"!!!

Awesome, Sax!

I have no place to go to get away from the women. We have a 1 bedroom apartment.

Wow.

Awesome dude!!! I'm am uber jealous.

Nice. I have no pictures now, as I don't have a Manland currently. =(

I really need customized shelving, though.

And how is your stereo?

No really good pictures but I have a pretty big metal cave as well. I have all of my cd's, a television, my computer, an aquarium and my mountain bike in it. Probably spend half of my time at home in it.

Mine's still developing

My Floyd poster

My KISS drawings

Zakk Wylde and David Ellefson....and a bulldog

Jimi Hendrix, Les Claypool, SRV, and Marty Friedman

My Ted Nugent and King Diamond drawings

The wall of fame

My KISS mirror

my stereo

and my tiny collection

I remember we had a thread like this over a year ago, because I put my photos in and I know Ult did too. I just can't find the link.

Wow!!!! I got to say Saxon that is a cool set up, I don't have any room to get away from everybody, which is too bad because sometimes I need it!!! I have 3000+ cds that are in our living room stored in this homemade selves that hold about 750 or so cds. I am not really happy with thoses and I like the custom selves that you made. Very cool.

What is amazing that I bet there are still CDS that you are searching for, I know that even at 3000 I could probably name you 3000 more I wished I owned.

Where's Waldo? I actually found the Ultimatum Fatal Delay demo on one of your shelves.

good lord, that's cool. I want to come over and just look around, seems like heaven.

How many cds you got sax?

Good enough. I have 10 speakers hidden all through the room, in the ceiling, under my deak, etc. One bass on each side. So, the music sounds like it is coming from everywhere. Inescapable music of my own choice - PARADISE!

Are ya getting into art seriously, at all, Schbopo?

No problem. Didn't even know it was for you. Robert brought it to practice and asked me to sign it.

Saxon, I thought you were about to sell 90% of your collection? So what you will put on those empty shelves then? Or is what we see there already just the remaining 10% of your stuff?

SAXON1500 i love your metal room very very very much

You got as much stuff as a independent record shop.

Easier said than done. Especially when you are a junkie and keep collecting more!

My hope is that I get down to about 2000 originals I need to have, then all the unsellable stuff, demos, cdrs, original cds with printed out covers and such will be enough keep that wall looking attractive. Then i can get rid of the rest of those bookcases and stuff and see what posters and other goodies I have buried behind there!

Auctions start again tonight with some killer THRASH!!

You'll probably go after those you've sold in few years again

Nah, I have a 500 gb external hard drive that holds 250,000 songs. As long as I have the tunes...

I hate to tell you this Sax, but I spotted a couple of CD's that were out of alphabetical order there
Seriously though, that's awesome. My main sitting room upstairs is getting like that, but it's just the classic rock listening room. The other stuff is spread around the rest of the house by theme. The scary thing is that I also have a sports room like that.

Holy crap Saxon!

I thought I had a lot of CDs. I had to buy a house because my CDs were pushing me out of the apartment. I need custom shelving like that; that would be cool in my basement.

Did you do the shelving yourself or hire someone to do it?

Eh Hem.... Do I see United States Postal Services personal property in this picture? Perhaps a couple of plastic tubs? As a proud postal employee I encourage you to return those tubs to your nearest post office immediatly or I will have to take action on this matter and report you to the proper authorities. This article is because of people like you not returning the tubs. http://www.nwanews.com/adg/Business/224090/











im only kidding about all of that. Nice collection though. Someday I will get to that point. I have a decent collection that my gf just seems to get so upset about. Every time she makes me mad though it just keep adding to it haha. All my stuff is in my room since I live at home. I'll try to take some pictures later.

I wish I had a "Metal Habitat" like that Sax... when I still lived at my parent's place my bro and I owned the basement, which was where we kept all of our vinyl/CDs/tapes/videos and other cool stuff (my comic book collection, our skin-mag "library," etc.) ... the walls were papered with metal posters and show flyers, and my old beer can collection ringed the entire room. Unfortunately I don't have the space in my current abode for a "man room" to call my own. Maybe when I win Lotto
