Who would have thought that the bearded guy who looks like a serial killer would be the expert?

Anyways, I was fine until the Leviathan one. Then, forget it.

That was GREAT!

I ran the Metal sections in three independent stores over the course of a decade before the retail music business began to collapse. The last store I was in was a total Mom n’ Pop operation that only dealt in 60s/70s Rock, along with Metal and all of it’s sub-genres. Myself and the boss were the only two workers and we did not have a computer-based inventory. Every title sold was written down on a notepad.

My boss was in his late 50s and was into Poco, Pure Prairie League etc, and always struggled with the logos. When I would come in for my shift, my friends and the Metal customers would always laugh our asses off when we would look at the notepad and read what my boss would write down for the band name.

Our favorite, hands down, was when he listed Velvet Cacoon as “Velvet Racoon”.
And their logo was not even really that hard to read. Sometimes he would just put down a question mark along with the album title.

Sorry for the long post, but that brought back some hilarious memories!

PS: I’m willing to bet that 99% of the people in that video worship Wilco. Uncle Tupelo and The Flaming Lips.

Couldn’t get the last two.

I love just how ready-to-get-the-fuck-outta-there that older bald dude was.

the last one was Slipknot

(Emperor) Eream…pookal-ra…yuck? – Yes!

Also, the older balding dude was fun, it’s like they put a gun to his head, nervously chewing on his gum and just blurting out everything that came to his mind.
