Does anyone here ever actually buy those compilation cds like Kerrang The Album, Dad Rocks, The History Of Thrash Metal, Ultamite Electric Guitar 6, The Defnitive Heavy Metal Collection etc ? Things that are various artists, sold in shops yet just like what magazines give away free, but aren't like covers/tribute albums or film soundtracks or anything. ? -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

I used to when I was younger. I have a Speed Kills and an At Death�s Door compilation in my collection. Also a couple of compilation CDs that came free with a metal mag. I would never purchase such an album today. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I used to enjoy grabbing issues of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles and Terrorizer for their sampler discs. I still have a handful of them that I spin every once in a while to see if there's a good band I've forgotten about or didn't like at the time. I also went through them once to find relevant bands that were missing from this site. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

| Before the internet-era, I sometimes bought cheap compilations to discover new bands. Today I don't buy compilations anymore. |

I wouldn't ever buy one of those. I'd love to get one for free, but back in the day I heard many of them and thought most of the groups weren't that good. When Megadeth released Risk, it came with one for a short period of time. That one was pretty cool. And the only other one I liked was the tribute to Maiden from Kerrang, I listen to that quite often actually--the good tracks are GREAt, but the bad ones are really bad. Of course, you weren't asking about tribute cds, were you...sorry! |

Its just I was in HMV and saw about 45 Various Artists metal albums, and thought 'I wonder if anyone buys these? Surely someone does or else they wouldn't stock them here.'

I get enough VA albums free with Metal Hammer, no need to ever buy any. The free ones are mostly kinda bad though, occasionally you get a good one though. I do find most of them are filled up with too much metalcore for my taste though. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

When I bought mags, Metalcore wasn't popular yet, and all the comps were filled up with Nu Metal ------------- My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |
