its been a little over a month since 10'000 days was released, how many copies have you bought already?

me, due to wear and tear from listening to it all day form the walk man to the cd player at work ant the one at home and in cars i am on my third cd. anyone else buy more then one yet?

Well, my copy is still in mint condition considering I just have it on my Ipod. I've heard it about 10 times start to finish on CD just because it's cool to hear the track changes without the pauses.

But I've purchased 3 other copies as gifts.

I've still only bought one. If I start making better commission at my job, I'll buy at least one more.

What the fuck?

I own the following:

1 copy of Opiate
1 copy of Undertow
1 copy of Aenima
1 copy of Salival
1 copy of Lateralus
1 copy of 10,000 Days

I don't understand how you van 'wear out' a cd? I play mine all the time and they are still in good condition etc.

This concept of additional copies boggles my mind...

I'm still on my first copy, and I listen to it all the time.

here's an interesting idea that you people who are buying CDs over and over might want to consider:

burn a copy.

come on folks, this is what the DMCA is all about! you bought it, so burn 12 copies of it, keep one in the car, one at your desk, one in the living room, one in the bedroom, and then scatter the others randomly around the house.

staying on topic...personally, my CD is absolutely mint. i bought it, listened to the CD once in my computer, ripped it to my hard drive, and um, that's about it. i've taken it out a couple times to listen to it on my surround sound system. so i think in total, my disc has been out of the package 3 times.

Im with you mate.

I'll second that.

Mine always get broken/scratched. Sometimes they just vanish. Cd's aren't durable enough. They have a poor, easily ruined design.

same

I just re-bought 10,000 Days. Two copies total.

why?

For two reasons.

1. In case I lose my original copy, which is almost bound to happen, since I lose everything, and lost Lateralus about three or four times.

2. Right now, I have one copy to listen to and one copy to keep in mint condition, just to have, as I've been gathering an actual collection of CD's.

i've got two copies, one still wrapped (same with Aenima, Lateralus, and Undertow) and the one I listen to, which has been scratched b/c its so difficult to get it out of the case without putting prints on it. but i listen to it on my computer and have burned a copy anyway.

A little off topic, but I still have my original copies of Opiate and Undertow. It's not that hard to take care of CDs.

Three copies.

One for the car

One for the CD player at my house

One Alex Grey signed copy


In my opinion, if I'm willing to spend the money, why is it so bad that I would support the band? I figure I steal enough other music that I should make up for it by giving the bands I really like a little extra support. Just my opinion.

3 copies..... 2 signed 1 normal

same here. it's not on vinyl. there isn't something physically playing the music on the cd, so there really shouldn't be any wear. that's like digital cable tv getting worn out.

yeah, take care of your CDs and they will last for a long time. only CD i've bought twice was Lateralus, and only cuz it got scratched and skipped a little.

i'm still on my 1st copy. but i'm sure i'll be buying it again at some stage. I've purchased aenima atleast 5 times, undertow 3 times i think, still got my original lateralus somehow, i've bought opiate 3 times too, never purchased Salival, too expensive when theres beer to be paid for. but yeah, i always lose cds, some get stolen because i have a lot of parties at my house.

Same here, without Salival.

If you have purchased 5 copies of Aenima, 3 copies of Undertow and 3 copies of Opiate then you can afford to buy yourself a copy of Salival...

No Quarter kicks arse, as do the live versions of Third Eye, Part Of Me and Pushit. You Lied and Merkaba aren't bad either... it's worth purchasing!

Good post.
Same here... until yesterday.

For the first time in my life I scratched a cd. A car stereo front dropped on 10kD. So I had to buy my second copy yesterday. The bad thing is that indirectly it was caused by the bad authoring of the cd. 10kD has cd-text issues. I was verifying that in my car.

Oh well, I guess now I have a spare cd-case ;)

I've bought 1 copy and i'm pretty sure that's all i'll need. Unless i lose it like i did Aenima :(

Worst analogy I've ever heard.

Would you believe that in Australia it is ILLEGAL to even burn a copy of a CD you have purchased? True story. You cannot even make a so-called backup copy.

Of course, that doesn't stop anybody from doing it. And rightly so. Because it's a STUPID fucking law.

2 copies
one was a gift


then I made 4 other copies for a safty, home, car, and one for the studio. the original hasn't left the package since.

1 laturalus --1 on vinyl too
1 aenima ---Want it on vinyl but I'm not pay $300 on ebay.
1 undertow -1 on vinyl too
1 opiate-----getting it on vinyl soon

2 copys of Opiate
3 copys of Undertow
5 copys of Aenima
2 copys of Salival
4 copys of Lateralus
1 copy of Lateralus vinyl
1 copy of Schism DVD
1 copy of Parabola DVD
3 copys of 10,000 Days
and 6 shirts and 7 concerts

Damn I have given Tool Somewhere around $850 dollars I am probably missing some things so I would probably say I have spent around $1000 dollars on Tool in my life time. Well I guess it was worth it

What CD's are you buying?? I've had CD's get scratched occasionally....but man they are the most durable and wear-resistant medium that has come out yet....and now that you can just rip another copy.....I always do that as a backup. I actually did have to replace Aenima once....but once you have a burnt copy you can toss it around like a cheap.......______

Sir, you are an idiot.

No, I have money

This is fucking hilarious!! I don't even know who you're directing it at, but I'm laughing my ass off anyway!!

I really can't understand posts like this one. Why own more than one copy in case the disc is scratched. If it does, THEN go buy another one! Save your money, there are a lot of great other bands out there too! Opeth is just one...

thankyou

^

word, i buy a cd, burn it imediately to my hard drive, put it back in the case and put it away. then i burn it to cd as needed.

EDIT:: Forgot Thread Topic, i have 2 copies, one retail, one AG signed

one for me. the whole "car cd," "work cd," "bathroom cd" shit is dumb. can you people not walk from place to place and then safely place the cd in the respective cd player? can you not as well place the cd back in a case after you are finished listening to it? cd players do not destroy cd's in any way, shape or form, unless you do something stupid and toss the shit around like a dumbass, then you have a problem. laziness is a motherfucker, but if you have it that bad, then you need some adjustment in your life.

the whole reason i burn cds is many, many times i been places listening to cds and a friend says "thats cool" and i just give it to them. i can make another when i get home.
