Would just add that the accessibility for Funderground types only goes as deep as a mention on Metal Sucks or furiously looking bands up on MA after seeing their name on a board.

Yeah, I think that's what is missing in today's generation of metal fans. In the past you had to really put in some work to discover great music. Attend shows, read zines, write to bands, tape trading or even lending albums, and taking a chance on certain albums, not knowing whether or not your money is going to be well spent or a complete bust.

It was exciting to go to Newbury Comics when they catered to underground music. I would basically work just to drop my entire paycheck on albums. I'd order from some cool distros, and that's how I built my entire collection. I can't bring myself to part with any of my CD's, tapes, or records. I spent the money on them for a reason, I didn't purchase them so they could be resold.

This was a time when bands seemed larger than life and the music that was being produced felt like it was meant to be brought into our world; that it wasn't just random.
