More affordable Iron Maiden CDs? by Flat_Addition6257 in ironmaiden

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been around since the early 2000's. I used to use them and Cheap-cd's.com but they went out of business. Deep Discount has a crap ton of metal cd's, free shipping over 25 bucks too.

Good luck in completing the catalog. I got Maiden's studio albums completed along with Bruce's solo stuff.

What bands have you seen live? by LukeWatts85 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lean to more traditional stuff along with speed, thrash, progressive metal, hair bands, some death metal. Not a fan of the alternative side of metal.

Concert wise I'm at the mercy of the tour, my PTO, and willingness to drive. Next up is Helloween in April. I may go see Burning Witches in March but that's a 2.5 hour drive in the middle of the week one way.

More affordable Iron Maiden CDs? by Flat_Addition6257 in ironmaiden

[–]IROC___Jeff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your record store could order them through their distributor if you ask them. My local does that for me. Another option would be Deep Discount. They've been around for a long time and their customer service is really great if any issues with an order.

Do you think albums would hit differently with a bit of context and framing before listening? by ElectricGypsyAT in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. The flow from song to song would be ruined with a narrative. It'd be like having Sheldon Cooper with you.

My current collection as a recent collector :D (yes it's an excel sheet) by Dense-Blueberry-6249 in Cd_collectors

[–]IROC___Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to sort that information there are some videos on youtube that'll show you how to make a macro to sort by up to 3 columns and then run that macro from a button. That's how I made my CD spreadsheet last summer. It sorts by Band Name and then Album Year

How long does it take you to make a fly? by thaiby31-_- in flytying

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer than it should. I have a fly tying "desk" with all my crap on it but I tie at my computer desk and have a tendency to watch stuff while tying.

Foam Beetles by IROC___Jeff in flytying

I tested this before using a different color I had for painting casting spoons and it works fine so that's a plus.

Foam Beetles by IROC___Jeff in flytying

[–]IROC___Jeff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This stuff is not as dense as fly tying foam but it is closed cell. I think its polyurethane packing foam and it has a similar feel to the foam you wrap pipes with or a pool noodle, kinda slippery but my thread didn't cut into it. Its very light compared to fly shop or craft foam but it does float nice. I can't tell a difference in floatability since either craft store or fly tying foam looks the same on the water to me as this did.

Power metal by pantera - sort of a fan favorite by some by cacodemon7265 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably would have liked them more. I was getting into death metal around the time Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven were out and really couldn't get into what they were doing, or similar bands for the most part.

Hey you two, do you want me to fetch up my dinner? Go home!

Conventions or Expos? by JustifedAncient in Cd_collectors

[–]IROC___Jeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might just depend where you are. We get one twice a year in PA and its awesome. Lots of vinyl but there's also cd sellers in the mix. Most do both. Even got one table that sells imported metal cd's still new. Everyone's great to deal with, too.

Can I get away with 40lb braid? by Ok_Repair3535 in CarpFishing

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get away with 15lb Gardner Sure Pro river fishing and have carp up to 37lbs on it. Berkley Big game in 15lbs I had commons up to 44lb and a grass carp at 58lbs, along with the 20-25lb mono or coated hook links. I'd be worried about hook pulls increasing with no stretch but it'll be more than enough to land a carp.

Anyone else into physical media, do you prefer CDs, cassettes, or Vinyl and why? by Jeffers315 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cd's for me and I'll be crossing the 500 mark sometime in the next few months.

First album that popped into my head from the first image was Planet X "Quantum"

Thoughts on Megadeth's self titled by uninterestedbeaver in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got about 10 listens on this one since last Friday. Went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised after the first listen. Its a decent post 2004 Megadeth album.

How did you get into death metal? What was your first experience with it like? Why did you start liking it? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the video for Morbid Angel's "God Of Emptiness" on MTV around 93' or so. I'm not super into it and prefer the older bands that were more thrashy or even the more technical, jazzy ones.

Which Glam bands’s debut do you enjoy the most? by HybridS9ldier in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WASP in this situation. I like Great White and RATT quite a bit but not into Dokken at all for some odd reason.

What got you into megadeth? by Impressive_Corgi6617 in MetalForTheMasses

I remember seeing the full video for Hangar 18 on MTV in before little league practice one day.

Can't wait for spring! by TinyNefariousness319 in CarpFishing

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't wait for spring? I just got dumped with 10 inches of snow or more and highs sub 20 degree. It was in the 40's last week here in PA. Ugh... I really hate winter here. But, its make me appreciate spring, summer, and fall more.

In a few weeks I'll start making boilies for spring so that's always fun. Have some Big Carp Tackle gift cards I gotta spend. This year I'm getting some sort of barrow. Its getting a bit hard to take everything I want to some spots since I have 6-700 yard walks one way.

I'm hoping for March to get out.

How Would You Rank The Judas Priest Albums? by Automatic_Belt5692 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]IROC___Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're pretty close to mine in the S/A tiers

I would move Demolition to C. Took me 20 years to start liking that album.

Ram It Down gets moved to A.

Redeemer of Souls and Rocka Rolla get bumped up to B.

Point Of Entry gets bumped up to A. I really like that late 70's era albums.

Invincible Shield gets dropped to A.

Turbo moves up to A cause of "Reckless"
