Too Much Music? Grab A Stack of Mike’s CD Collection

How much music constitutes too much music?  This was a question I asked rhetorically during the recording of this 50 minute episode of Grab A Stack of Rock.  It is clear, whatever the number is, I have hit it and then some.

We had an interesting show and tell tonight, including the below:

  • Stir of Echoes, a 2008 band of Ray D’Auria’s (Mystique)
  • A Harem Scarem box set
  • A Max Webster box set
  • A defective Black Sabbath CD
  • An Iron Maiden bootleg with Blaze Bayley
  • Some gifts from Rob Daniels
  • White Snake
  • A Def Leppard bootleg
  • Some Rush and some jazz
  • Japanese import Deep Purple
  • Promo DLR
  • Deluxe Foo Fighters
  • Alice Cooper
  • Greta Van Fleet
  • A gift from Kevin Simister
  • A lot, lot, lot, of sealed Marillion
  • An avalanche!

This pre-recorded episode was an experiment and I think it went very well.  I was able to interact via the comments on YouTube and we had a lively discussion on the side.

While I will always prefer going live, these shorter solo shows will offer an alternative way of making it through the cold snowy winter together.  Thanks for watching and dropping the comments.  This was fun!

Next week will be a re-run, but Mike and the Mad Metal Man will be back on January 26 with John Snow and Tim Durling to show off music DVDs.  Then, on February 2, Marco D’Auria will be back to talk about the new 95 minute version of the Mystique movie that has been getting glowing accolades at festivals.  These will both be live shows and I hope you can join us!

  2. Fun show, Mike. Thanks for joining us in the live comments. Following up on a question I raised about Whitesnake “Live in ‘84”: the last Jon Lord show in Sweden is included in the Super Deluxe edition of “Slide It In,” but the Japanese show isn’t (we get Glasgow instead). Henry.

  3. Cracked a can of pepsi open and grabbed a stack of cd from my desk.
    Your stack:
    harem scarem, I missed the sale of that box set. I recall u making a lot of noise about this one when it came out but I still missed it.
    Just got Geezer’s box set Manipulations of the mind. It was on sale. Think I was missing one of the albums on that set. Just put on Sabbath’s We Sold Our soul for R’n’R since u had it in your stack.

    I’m returning the favor and just randomly grabbed a stack and here’s what I got:
    Neurotica, I like this one but unfortunately only 2 of the tracks play. Faulty cd. Grunge flavored music.
    The reign of Terror: Sacret Ground. Interesting note this one has Michael Vescera on vocals. But It’s Power Metal so maybe not your cup of tea..
    Ashalt Ballet: st.
    Bad Wolwes: Nation
    From Ashes to New: Panic and Day one (both still unopened)
    Andy Black: The shadow side (still unopened)
    Def Leppard:.. and there will be next time
    Seether: Purgatory ep

    1. I would like that Geezer box set. Lots of stuff there I need….

      The only one from your stack that I own is Def Leppard! I never did review it, but I do own it!

      Thank you for watching and enjoying this one!
