I consider that way too much money to pay for a CD. I wouldn't mind downloading these tracks just because it's so hard to come across the actual CD. I agree with you in every other respect though.

Most of the time I download stuff that I can't find because I live in a pretty damn middle of fucking know where town and it's hard to come across stuff. Also I think $10-$15 is way to much for a damn CD. And I download rare stuff and bootlegs. Like the Trivium Live In Stuttgart Germany i'm listening to right now.

It is alot of money and to be honest i probably wouldnt pay £200 for a cd.. i just used that figure as an example.. I mean if a authentic copy of the demo came up on ebay it would most likely go for less than £100..
The most i have ever spent on a cd/vinyl is a signed vinyl of scream bloody gore, which i paid £120 for.. I dont really think ide pay much more than that for anything

I agree with you there. I live it Middlesbrough (you probably wont have heard of it coming from the US) but its hard to come across much here either as its only a relativly small town with two music shops.. so i know what your going through! I end up traveling to a city near by called Newcastle to pick up alot of my cds, also end up searching the internet for hours..

I myself buy a lot of albums, I've slowed down recently but if I hear or find something I like, I buy it. I've ordered several hundred dollars worth of cds off amazon. My problem with paying $200 for an album off ebay is that it doesn't go to the artist, if it did, sure I'd do it. But I don't see the point in contributing a large amount of money towards music when it doesn't go to the band. I have heard from a couple people that their copy of the demo was given to them for free at school by matt or at a show.

Which is really cool. They are lucky people.. Now that the demo is so rare is a bastard for some fans to get hold of.. (I for one will end up having to pay an over the top price for a copy if i want one, and what serious fan doesnt?) I know what your saying about paying a large amount of money for a cd on ebay and nothing going towards the artist and i tottaly agree but it may end up being the only option..

I wonder if they sign alot of thier demos...

Matt said that this was only like the third or fourth demo he ever signed...

Wow...thats not very many at all.

Did Trivium release a CD called Maximum or something? is that one of their demos or something?

I think that is Maxiumum Trivium its like an un offical biography or somthing.
