Yeah I always thought Vinyl sounded better than CDs.
My favorite Vinyl I own is The Rolling Stones- Some Girls, with the original faces.

[Chris Misfit]

I have about 100 albums on vinyl, too many to name.

I also have loads of 12", 7", 10". About 50 Guns N Roses if I remember rightly. About 20 Iron Maiden, and about 10 Metallica and around 20 of other bands. I've only added to my collection once in the last two years, but as soon as I get a vinyl player and remember how great it sounds, I'll start collecting bits and pieces again.

[Megaguns]

anyone who doesnt own appetite for destruction on vinyl doesnt know what theyre missing, I have heaps of gunners and megadeth and maiden and shit, but i have them on cd too. just sounds better on record, maybe just a little faster??? I LOVE IT!!!!!! anyone else??

[-Jack-]

Is it really that noticable? Can someone "describe" the sound without saying "its just cooler"?

[Megaguns]

its more distinct, a little quicker..... just. more real.... youd have to hear it and then come back. youll see ( or hear )

[Jonathan]

Haha, yeah.. It's actually sounds warmer! 

[Axls Locomotive]

Is it really that noticable? Can someone "describe" the sound without saying "its just cooler"?

my ears sense that there is a richness in certain frequencies that transfer poorly to CD...particularly the sounds just below the voice range and also the higher frequencies...80's vinyl is excellent for sound....also old 78rpm records used to have a great bassier sound because of their heavy weight...i have a few 50's r'n'r records and they sounded far superior to the CD versions... if you could transfer sweet child to one of these 78's and play them on a 70's quadrophonic stereo you will probably shit yourself listening to how great the sound is...but that will never happen

maybe you just have to listen closer to hear the differences

Chris Misfit gave me the beauty of Vinyl, i never cared for it before meeting that cunt.
Now i have an LP player and my dad gave me all his old LP's bout 100 or so, including some Maiden and Zeppelin, Motorhead and Motley Crue.

I'm also waiting to get my hands on my uncles old records, he was a Metal/Rocker like me and has loads of great Metal, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Megadeth, Ozzy, Sabbath, Faith No More.

Ooooo, i canny wait, i love how long it takes to take outta the sleeve and play it, theres a whole ritual to throwing on an LP and we all have a different way to do it.

Fucking love Vinyl!

I dont own any Vinyl but certainly it has better sound than the CDs,  thats why artists like Cradle Of Filth still release their albums in that format.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Well yes, but Cradle releases good albums. 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

awwww, the day i start getting vinyl GN'R stuff I hope Axl releases CD on vinyl, you know, just for the hell of it.  It would be nice

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Hope they release the album in vinyl dude...

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

If you go on eBay, it's amazing how expensive GN'R's vinyl records are.  ESPECIALLY the banned AFD sleeve.

patience dude, that's all you need prices rise and drop all the time, i got it off there for a small fee (can't quite remember...) definately under ?5 though....

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

which single was it?

[Hammy]

which single was it?

It wasn't a single that was for the Banned Appetite For Destruction sleeve.

[kaasupoltin]

I have only Gn'R promos and bootlegs + AFD (banned cover), UYI 1 and Spaghetti.. But I really think that vinyl sounds better than CD Just waiting for my dad to die so I can take all his vinyls.. ummm.. just kidding 

Edit. I saw the banned AFD for 6,99? in Music Hunter today.. so just keep looking and you'll find it with a nice price.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Was it just the sleeve?  Or the record included, because if its only 5 euros, u made a steal.  That's a good deal old chap.
