That’s like the time that my father drove around for five hours to find a store just to buy a non-flat screen TV, because he did not want to get rid of the TV stand that he had, which only had a space for a square shaped TV. This was like 5 years ago. When I renovated, I gave him my old 37” flat screen. He bought a new stand. I bought a 55”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have a VCR, and I use it.... ...as a booster for my DVD player so that it isn’t so low to the ground and out of remote range. And yeah, I realize DVDs are almost as passé as VHS tapes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me stereotyping people, but I notice that a lot of people who dork over collections also dork over progressive bands like Dream Theater. Do you think John Petrucci collects hockey jerseys? He must. FWIW, I had a coworker play Erotomania the other day while trying to prove to him that "metal" can be just as complex as classical.

We ruined another thread by turning it into a Pink Floyd love fest, might as well ruin this one too. Awake is DT's best album, IMHO. Just a complex, roaring set.

Speaking of Awake, when I'm warming up on guitar and I have a lot of distortion available I have been known to start off with The Mirror.

I most certainly dork over collections, but when you guys get into discussing rock (especially prog rock) it just whooshes over my head.

Petrucci and I have crossed paths several times in my life. I have a ton of stories about all the times I’ve seen him. He lives just a mile away from my parents house, and I’ve even had conversations with him at the gym. Awake is the one album I would choose to listen to if I had to pick just one album to listen to for the rest if my life. Side note: this thread is now the most exposure they’ve gotten in years.

Devilsguy Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I went through a DT phase in college that lasted about 3 weeks. Dark times. Speaking of VCR's my parents (both are in their 70's) called me the other day because their VCR is broken. They have one of those DVD/VCR combo players that they got over a decade ago. I looked online for a new one and was floored by how much these combo players are because frankly very few need them. "Reconditioned" ones started at $250 and brand new ones stated at $700 (!). Ho-ly $&@%! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho-ly $&@%! I sold a 10 year old combo VCR/DVD Recorder on eBay a couple years ago for more than I paid for it. So yeah, they're gonna need to either give up VHS or get separate units. And I am not sure you can buy a regular VCR either, you might have to get that at a yard sale, eBay or my parents' house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to slam one of my favorite bands but if their jersey is like their current music, it'll have a bunch of crazy a$$ drawings that make sense to like two people and Jordan Ruddess' wizard-cap wearing face plastered all over it.
