Slipped Disc Records

[yt4500]

I got my first Alice Cooper record from that store. Sucks thats it is gone.

[mitchellrose]

wow, i heard the other night that it closed...very upsetting!! many memories, will be missed

[sitro74]

2 words...... Debbie, MMMMMMMM

[JohnXL]

I remember l was living in Boston at the time and whenever I'd go to visit my brother out in NYC we would make the trek out to Slipped. When I was a late teen/early 20's I worked at Discomat records at Grand Central Station (before CD's !!!) so I was always a music/metal head...but I loved getting imports at Slipped !!!

[joeylodes]

Not to mention how cool Mike and Co. were to all us local metal bands ... my band Maelstrom, Cold Steel, and Kronin to name a few. They would always let us sell our demos through there and hang up posters for upcoming shows. That place was simply the best. Never anything like it then ... probably never will be again

[pizzapussypresents]

I really miss this store. Since selling CDs in stores is practically impossible now, It would be great if Mike made Slipped Disc an online music store.

[XSidRapedMyCatX]

RIP. My favorite place in the world.

[0Mike0Banks0]

DUDE HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! i knew randy and mike and jesse for the longest time!!!!! like since the dawn of '90s!!!!!!!! it sucks that it closed!!! you figured the landlord would want to make some money instead of no money!! and dee snider and vinny vincent used to be there sometimes!!!! it was just a great little place!!! even if it just sold head shop stuff and did away with all the cds, it would have survived just as good today!! it just sucks that it's gone, it was valley stream's cbgb's!!!

[JCFXSI]

sad to see Slip Disc is gone. I always thought it would be there... and to its credit, it lasted a long time...

Slip Disc should have been made a landmark. It was that important to Long Island's music scene.

I went there many times for music in my highschool days growing up in VS.

[HunterofJustice]

I miss this store..but the internet changed everything...Looney tunes is the last good cd store in LI..

[vittoriostoraro]

I used to hang out there for HOURS on end in the 83-84 era (Much to the chagrin of Mike, though he was always good natured about it) Slipped disc was an original and both a bright spot and refuge during a rather dark period in my life.

Thanks for the great memories Mike !

[seanelder]

I'm not even that big of a metal fan anymore, but this was inspiring.

[WoWandMetalFTW]

lol anyone remember wicked maraya from valley stream, they were great, you may know them as mystic

[BFPNick]

yes we do, "In the night, Johnny's a killing machine..."

[WoWandMetalFTW]

lol yup yup

[kliphy10]

Way back in 1982 I bought some boot leg records , Aerosmith. the label said slopped disc records , in the middel of the LP .... there good stuff ... was that you guys ? if so thank's .. for the good tunes....... boise ID

[AnimeZimBroadway178]

Ah man, this really kind of tugs at the heart strings. Slipped Disk was one of the few places I could go to to find the music I was really interested in and it's closing was one of the worse things ever. The whole street seems to be closing down now.

R.I.P. Slipped Disk.

[pfeltovich]

I purchased the classic VHS Alcatrazz "Metallic Live" w/Y. Malmsteen for $100.00! Too bad Slipped Disc is no more..

[rockmadness62]

l0l the guy in 4:00 is my guitar teacher he w0rks like 3 blocks d0wn from wheres slipped disk used 2 be R.I.P slipped disk

[destructopoo]

your guitar teacher sounds like a fucking chick...

[rectumwart]

slipped disc was my life.. i live in valley stream and i remember growing up around slipped disc. its such a shame they closed cause i now have nowhere to get any of my cds... i also never got that death hoodie hangin behind mike's head

[Y2J61399]

I used to work at Laurel Pharmacy on the corner. Used to go there every Saturday. Prices were higher than other stores but the selection was incredible. Can't belive it closed. Man Valley Stream has changed since I moved to Florida in 2004.

[WilliamBauset07]

That store look really awsome. That sux because in Toronto we dont have a store like that:(. If anyone here is from Toronto can someone tell a good store like that. Because i might go downtown this weekend.

[irnmnky10]

WOW Slipped Disk ... RIP..

I remember taking the train from Long Beach every Sat. w/ my good friend Charlie and others friends to buy the best collection of metal and punk on Long Island... Got to see Metallica on their first tour @ the Rio Theater across the street and at the in store appereance @ Slipped Disk in 83.... also met Slayer, Motorhead, Wasp, etc there... Great times.... And walking back to the LIRR and stopping by @ Ancona for a couple of Slices. Slipped Disk will be missed

[Guhzozz]

Mike Shutzman kicked ass.. =( end of an era..

[FlickBooger]

of course they're closed now, niggers don't buy music, they steal it. soon all of valley stream will be closed storefronts, and the only thing left will be a bunch of dotheads with lotto machines. f' VS

[AndreaOrlen]

I would save my lunch money all week long, and then EVERY FRIDAY like clockwork, walk the 30-45 minute trek , or have a parent drive us over to Slipped Disc while we made our purchases and proudly added to our growing Record collections ..

One of my most vivid young memories is when my sister and I cut school on my 13th birthday in order to walk over to Slipped Disc where she bought me Depeche Mode's Construction Time Again and a slice of pizza at Ancona to celebrate my big teenage debut:-)

[voltronsky]

lol Depeche Mode?? gtfo ---------->

[xbtksuperbadx]

didnt slipped disc close down?

im kinda dissappointed.

[magiin]

jesus, havent been to slipped disc in a couple months and was lookin for their phone number on google, saw this vid link show up. cant believe they're closing/closed, such a fuckin shame

[midnitetasixxman]

This is awful. I grew up about a mile away and would spend majority of my paycheck there. I cared less about CB's closing and I care more about this!

R.I.P.

[Hamburglar3991]

theres some dude that works there time to time that looks like tommy lee

[Hamburglar3991]

yeah haha that guy does look like tommy lee

[JOEIRAQ]

they should have had motley crue their

[Dizzy2381]

Empire Records moment, we should save the store!!!

[Iheartgo0gle]

Can't believe it's closing I heard it was the stupid Mass Transit store on the corner that can pay higher rent... so... It was an amazing store, It's been there since the begginning of time itself...

[22figure8]

I'm sorry to hear about Slipped Disc closing. I've been going there since the Rio Theater metal show days in the early 80's.

[joeybeamers]

I grew up in valley stream and slipped disc is a legendary landmark. you have these fucking minorities that are destroying the Valley Stream economy because the have no money to spend. business are trouble on rockaway ave.

[jimmyvf]

Wow. I have to say that I'm VERY impressed with this film - it's one of the better documentaries I've seen in a long time. It was really well done, good interview and, the most important element, SLIPPED DISC! I was lucky enough to grow up 5 blocks away, so I was there almost daily. I still love that store, I will always love that store, and I will forever miss that store. God Bless Rob S., and God Bless SLIPPED DISC!!

[GishEagle]

THE SITE IS DOWN!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE

[assynipplechops]

I used to take walks all the way from the south end of Rosedale just to shop at Slipped Disc and get a slice at Ancona. Slipped Disc is a treasure, when the Rio closed up and they lost those great in-stores I thought SD would eventually fade, but the customers are as loyal as Mike has been to one single genre that defines SD: Metal!

[Gwertdog]

I grew up at that store, Damn, I miss that place. Mike was/is the man!!!

[irockbondage]

i was there yesterday. awesome store and the people are so nice =]

[AJizzle93Productions]

My mom used to live above Slipped Disc back in the 80's.

[CIAdude]

I used to bang a broad that lived there back in the 80's

[mastersapprentice69]

slipped disc is my illest store. ive spent at least $500 from september to january there. mikes the man.

[nycgirl2893]

that was awesome! u know, if u turned the corner, u cud see my church! lolz. i see that store everyday & wondered what the history was behind it. & i also never went in. i need to check it out one day

[RoxSox89]

I wish I had a record store like that around here. I check their site, it has a lot of obscure stuff. 5/5

[mikeybagels10980]

Awesome video...I remember walking to Slipped Disc as a kid myself...met a bunch a bands there as well. Glad to see it's still thriving!

[xcactsjakx]

Great doc. I've been a Slipped Disc junkie for about 12 years. I used to work up the block which pushed my addiction into overdrive. Bring back vinyl Slipped Disc!

[EastCoastHC]

Good news cactsjak, they ARE bringing back vinyl!!!! God, I love Slipped Disc...(even though I'm not a metalhead) ;)

[KOAK2002]

Very good job. i never went to a little recorfd store, it looks like a nice place.

[kingarty101]

[butwhip]

[MegaMAXman]
