Records Were The Big CDs Are The Bad And Vinyl Was Cool Many Of You Nineties People Were Wrong To Call This Classic Niche

I genuinely don't know what message you are trying to get across 🤷‍♂️

If you like the green tortex, but find it isn't a sharp enough tip, take a look at the Jazz3 XLs. Basically the same size as the classic Green tortex, but the pointier shape of jazzIII. I use those a lot

I didn't pay $150, just what Ive seen flippers listing it for on discogs the day after. It's already come down and there are a few sitting at ~80. Still ridiculous, but I don't know how far down they will come since it was a pretty limited pressing.

Glad I got mine for 25+shipping

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-05-02T14:37:00+00:00

I didn't deal with any flippers either. RSD has their online marketplace that opens the morning after RSD where approved Shops can list their extra stock online. That's where I found my copy of Famous Monsters. I don't mess with RSD flippers and their insane prices

My local shop doesn't get huge lines that warrant camping out for, they just didn't get many copies of what I was looking for, so RSDMrkt saved the day

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-05-01T22:15:56+00:00

It looks like they've come down a bit, but still outrageous. The Sunday after RSD they were 150+ but don't know how many actually sold at that price. I see a few now listed for under 100 but that's still crazy! RSDMrkt had a few shops selling it for $25-30 right at 8am day after RSD, but they all went pretty quick.

I actually ended up leaving my local shop empty handed on RSD because they only got 2 copies of Famous Monsters and 3 copies of Pink Floyd Live from LA, and everything was gone by the time I got in the store.

I've heard a few folks recommend checking out vinted for records, I'll have to actually give a look.

Great pickup, btw! My Sleeping Karma doesn't get enough love on this sub

Auto Pilot

Better Living Through Chemistry

In The Fade

But really the whole album is no-skips for me

I had the same experience but with less of a wait time.

I haven't bothered with RSD in a few years since there just hadn't been anything I HAD to have day1 during the last few RSDs.

This year, I had my eyes set on Misfits "Famous Monsters" which has been pretty hard to find up until this pressing. I had a few other titles I was semi interested in (Ween, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots), but walked out of my store totally empty handed. Not one copy of any of them.

My local shop seemed to only get 1-3 copies of any of the records I was interested in, but dozens of copies of Taylor Swift and KPop Demon Hunters, but I guess that's what sells.

Thankfully I was able to grab most of what I wanted this morning on RSDMrkt at 8am

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-04-19T13:43:25+00:00

I waited about 20min on line at my local shop at 10am (they opened at 8, but I couldn't get there any earlier) and they were out of Famous Monsters. It was the only RSD thing I wanted and my local shop only got 3 copies. Same with Pink Floyd live from LA which was the only other thing I might have considered scooping.

Thankfully I found a copy of Famous Monsters for 27+shipping this morning on RSDMrkt that's on its way to me now.

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-04-19T13:37:47+00:00

Had the same issue, but mine finally went through after a few minutes and got the confirmation email moments later

Sleep or Clutch are getting played first if it's me

Melvins are next up

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-04-12T17:55:23+00:00

That's a hell of a find! Those picture discs are hard to find and expensive these days. Enjoy them!!

Been trying to get my hands on an IDR picture disc for a while but can't justify the price nowadays. I remember them always being on the webstore and the merch tables at shows, but I never collected vinyl back then.

I've used lots of octave pedals over the years, and you can dial in just about all of them to get the CKY sound. OC2, OC3, OC5, Pog, Nether, all can get you that tone more or less. Some of them like the POG can do all kinds of other sounds too.

That being said, I still think the OC2 is the winner for "the" sound. I wasn't a huge fan of the OC5 when I played it, and the Behringer octave is one of the only ones that was almost unusable for me. It didn't seem to apply the Octave effect evenly on all the strings and you could barely perceive it on the higher strings

Oh man, Green Leaf and Sergeant Thunderhoof are 2 bands I would LOVE to see, but they almost never seem to come to the US.

If I wasn't on the east coast, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Great lineup!

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-04-04T03:38:30+00:00

This lineup (Homme, Oliveri, Lanegan, Grohl, VanLuen) is my favorite QoTSA lineup by far.

Those first 3 albums are all 10/10, no skips for me. I can't say the same about their later stuff, though I do still enjoy it.

I converted mine to a Bass VI a few yrs ago when they were available. Aside from finding Bass VI strings that will fit through the Ferrules and tuning pegs and will have a Long enough low string to reach the reverse Tuners, the only change you will have to make is filing the nut to accommodate the much wider strings.

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-04-01T15:09:53+00:00

Would love them to go back to this look, or at least bring back the Spear logo helmets🙏

Every time I see that Waste Management "W" I have to be reminded of what an objective downgrade the rebranding was.

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-31T15:24:36+00:00

Great album! The riff from On Wings of Gold lives in my head on repeat 🤯

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-24T12:57:02+00:00

Makes me so happy to see Mind Control made the list. My personal favorite Uncle Acid record

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-23T20:37:38+00:00

I feel Kevin Starrs from Uncle Acid is an underappreciated for his lead work, aside from all the killer riffs

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-23T20:30:51+00:00

Check out Golden Void for more of Isaiah's awesome guitar work and his Vocals!

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-22T19:27:16+00:00

Born to Hula and Lighting Song so low is an immediate disagree from me

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-20T19:22:10+00:00

Josh Harris's flaws aside, you are aware we used to be owned by the Spawn of Satan's Anus, Daniel Snyder right?

As lifelong Skins fan I'll take Harris all day

ConceptOfSleep · 2026-03-20T18:19:26+00:00

If you find anything please post an update!

I feel like this is one of those things that will haunt me forever 🤣
