i find it fascinating that fortress buys 5-15 cd's a week. it's crazy enough with someone buying any music these days...
and the genre of music, metal and death etc makes it even crazier
fortress do you have a picture of your cd-collection?
Musicians who write and record music for public consumption deserve to be monetarily compensated by those who enjoy their efforts. Period.
I began my passion for hard/heavy rock and metal in ‘83. Never wavered. In fact, my appreciation for this music grows with each passing year.
I’m confused why my tastes make my purchasing music “even crazier”. Hard music is as legitimate a style as any other. Some of the very finest musicianship and technical instrumental prowess is found in metallic musics. Indeed it is the genre in which the players are generally most pushing the boundaries. As well, metal is rock’s most resilient and surviving substyle. Also its most varied.
(I do dig select fusion and jazz players and love Tears For Fears.)
I do have some pics for insurance purposes but I’m not interested to post them.
P.S. Just to add to the strength of my ongoing passion, I currently have 19 CDs on order from private sellers on Amazon. This is not unusual. At any given time, I usually have at least several “on the way”.
