Ugggh!!!

Any of you guys had someone either on accident or on purpose throw away any of your music collection?, last november I made a trip to Ohio to visit my mother, while I was gone my son moved back into my apartment, he decided there wasnt enough closet space for his junk, so he threw away boxes of cd's and cd-r's to make room for his stuff, then tells me I didnt need to keep everything anyway .. All my old Demo's that I had recorded to Cd, from the beginning up till last year are all gone.. Im heart broken.. most of it, I can't even replace, esp the vhs bootlegs I transferred, and dumped the tapes.. .. what's your story, advice or opinion?, am I blowing it out of proportion?

Did you spanked the kid?

No, I haven't had that happen like that, but I've loaned some disk to 'friends' that never came back and years later became some of the $$$ digit collectors things one finds on ebay and amazon. Another thing that I've lost was a video recording of my father that was lost when the hard drive died.

I think everyone here knows how I feel about abortion, but in this case, I'll make an exception for you...


Seriously, that's truly is heart breaking. No, you aren't blowing it out of proportion. Then again, nothing lasts forever. Sorry.

Advise. Never keep all your eggs in one basket. Always have 2 or 3 copies of the irreplaceable things. Keep a copy offsite. Since you must have used a computer to do those transfers, you might be able to find a copy hidden in system's hard drive. Look for file restore software and run a scan. You might be able to recover some of it.

Oh wow Bro. I'm sorry. I have a son too and I know how inconsiderate they can be, though you love them with all your heart. They will come around in the big picture. Like that Manowar song, "Father".

Anyway - I'd be heartbroken too, but you can probably replace a small part of it. Ebay sometimes has amazing things!

Just saying.

I've had a CD case stolen out of a car but that's about it.

Oh I had some CD's get damaged in my car accident as well. Gosh, that was a long time ago.

Sorry to hear that bro :/ one of my ex-friend had a similar story with his son, who break his Coroner - Green LP. He became mad for several days for that .
Of course it's only material but a lots of feeling and/or money can be behind it, it sucks for this reasons.

And yes D@v!d is right, it's better to have some copies of the most precious part of your collection.

Personnaly i've sold a big part of my Thrash collection after death of a friend and a huge quarrel around circumstances of his death for the same reason.

Ugggh!!!  That stinks.  No, I don't think you're blowing it out of proportion.  It's not even about not storing up treasures on Earth, to me it's about waste and respect.

I also want to echo [email=D@v!d]D@v!d[/email], I rip every CD I get onto my computer hard drive so that if something were to happen to the CDs I still have the music somewhere.

well, he's 19.. Thinks he knows whats best for me.. Im just disappointed, I had alot of old Christian metal demo's, alot of them from sanctuary bands.. I got rid of the tapes after I transfer'd them with my Harmon Kardon cd burner, back in the day, and in all honesty, most of whats out there for download came from my disc's lol.. but anyway, OOP really stinks.. Im bummed, 200 or so, cd-r's and Bootleg Dvd's from VHS...
