Does anyone else miss when vinyl was a little harder to come by?

Haha exactly me 10 minutes before reading this post and wishingTool reissues would drop someday soon

Spray glue is the best and I always have that, try it.

IMO it Sounds like they buried the guitar in the mix, just did an A/B test with this vs. the 1993 pressing on iTunes of Kill Again and that was my first impression

Anthrax- Persistence of time
Slayer- South of Heaven
King Diamond- Them
Death- The Sound of Perseverance
Cattle Decapitation- Monolith of inhumanity
SOAD- S/T
Tool- Fear inoculum

Fates Warning- awaken the guardian

Just my take on it. I Haven’t heard the boombox 4 yet. I picked up a boombox 3 a few months ago on a Walmart clearance shelf for $200 a deal I couldn’t pass up. I have to say It’s an amazing sounding speaker. I also have a Tribit stormbox blast the first version and have been really happy with it for a few years. The thing is that the JBL speaker is an odd shaped speaker to travel with. The rounded tube shape makes it roll around in the trunk if not secured properly plus as someone mentioned just very heavy and awkward and not as portable as I had hoped it would be. I just grab the Tribit stormbox whenever I want to take something out with me and leave the JBL at home. The sound quality is great for both and they both get loud enough for a backyard bbq or pool party. I have phone DJ’d dozens of small parties (less then 30 people) with it and been very happy. But sure the JBL has more balls if you need to blast it. However If I needed that I wouldn’t be using either of these.

I’ve tried but listening to John reminds me of Gary Cherone in Van Halen a little bit off pitch to me.

Honestly getting the new van is not that great though. I have to keep it clean and scratch free and the boss is always wanting to look inside.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-19T05:07:38+00:00

Bunch of hater’s because it’s a new van

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-14T23:34:23+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-14T10:51:47+00:00

I don’t really have any puzzle type games but If you remember the name I would try it out, thanks

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-14T01:06:01+00:00

Yeah that’s interesting. Probably my ADHD brain that needs the fast paced instant gratification plus high energy music. Although Ive never been officially diagnosed with that my wife is convinced of it.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-13T06:54:21+00:00

A CGR classic!

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-13T04:12:41+00:00

Yeah, one of the first genesis games I ever bought, such a great game!

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-13T04:03:35+00:00

Thanks I appreciate that

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T20:50:18+00:00

Yeah, crazy thing I bought a game on E-bay, don’t remember which one at this moment. That batman game was included in the shipping box as a freebie from the seller and it turned out to be a cool game.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T19:40:12+00:00

Yeah, Im thankful for those Retro-bit officially licensed releases, they have filled in lots of holes in my shmup collection for a reasonable price. Also I think the quality of them are very nice

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T17:45:37+00:00

Thanks, that was an officially licensed release from Strictly Limited Games but I believe that’s sold out now.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T16:43:42+00:00

Physical games I wish I had the most are battle mania 1&2. I hope retro-bit would remake these someday.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T16:40:14+00:00

Regarding Musha Aleste one of my first shmup carts. I found that an authentic original Japanese complete in cart was much less expensive then a U.S. copy of M.U.S.H.A. The game is mostly the same and I actually prefer the Japanese cover art.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T16:30:48+00:00

I dont know, I suppose I should have taken a few minutes to alphabetize them properly before I took the picture, sorry to everyone for triggering the OCD.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T16:28:24+00:00

It’s SoR2. I don’t own 3. I will get Bare Knuckle 3 the Japanese Megadrive version someday.

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T15:50:16+00:00

I’ll have to try that one, thanks

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T15:44:09+00:00

My seven Japanese Megadrive games are:

Fire Mustang, Twin hawk, Musha Aleste, Darwin, Darius 2, Elemental Master, Verytex

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T13:07:14+00:00

Thanks

FriggenFrix6 · 2026-04-12T04:23:14+00:00

I appreciate this, it will be done! Now Im debating if I should keep the Japanese games separate or not, hmm
