Scott Williams? He just escaped I heard. He's looking for the fellas that been touching his vinyl.

[ZackDimondRecords]

I love this channel because it's the only one I know that goes from "this record is killer" to "this record is a killer's."

Richard Ramirez was a Metallica fan: in 2022, guitarist Kirk Hammett said that when they filmed their St. Anger music video at San Quentin State Prison in 2003, Ramirez was reportedly infuriated that he wasn't allowed to attend the performance so he just paced around his cell.

[Tridentwolf]

It’s no surprise.
People in to metal aren’t typically serial killers or criminals to be fair.
The most down to earth, wholesome, kindest and happy people i know are in to the hard metal stuff.

"The weirder the person - the better the collection", best summery I've heard this year I think. :D

[philipmcp]

Gives new meaning to "every record collection has a story." Glad you repurposed the energy of those records into new hands.

[Skyjacker_]

Patrick Bateman, the character in Brett Easton-Ellis's 'American Psycho' listens to stuff like Huey Lewis & The News, Robert Palmer and Phil Collins.

[CarlWheathers-chxs]

A serial killer being a Carpenters fan just makes so much sense.

[garymoen]

The creepiest part of the whole story was just how normal his collection was. Makes you think about serial killers and how they are hard to distinguish from orher people.

[backlogcabin]

Proves that normal people are far scarier than people who aren't

[audioeeze]

With it being close to Halloween, I think it was the perfect time to talk about this collection. Now you peaked my interest in this story so I now have to dig into this a little deeper. Great video, it's a shame that the collection he had wasn't as crazy as he was.

Funny enough this reminded me of a story from a buddy of mine that worked in a music store in Dallas in the 90s. Couple of guys pulled up that didn't look like normal music fans. Turns out they were govt agents. The request was "Help us find the loudest most obnoxious music you can find." Of course they obliged. Turns out they were heading to WACO. My buddy found out later the music they were buying they were going to use on David Koreshs compound during the siege You just never
know who's going to walk into your store and for what reason - Tree

Hey Dillon, I recently bought a large collection of records which all had "Jack The Ripper" as the name of the band / artist, or more commonly one of the tracks on the disc. 100s of them. Some obvious stuff like Link Wray or Screaming Lord Sutch, with every possible variant of each 7" or LP including demos and test pressings on all of the labels. There was also some really obscure records which I'm still trying to get more information about. As you can probably guess there were quite a few rare punk singles amongst the lot. I spent quite quite a while wondering what sort of person got together such a collection? Perhaps another serial killer? Keep up the good work, spreading the love of vinyl, and sharing the information. Peace and respect. TT

Next Video... "I bought a pastor collection, and there was some Slayer there.."

[dimebagdave]

This is quite possibly the best and most interesting VC video EVER.. i said it✌️🤘😁

[mikemtbc]

Maybe "Thriller" Vinyl were his trophies. He might have been The HeeHee Slasher. I will say I think the nicest, most normal seeming people have the craziest collections.

[CrackHouseChronicles]

As a record collector and true crime podcaster...this was a great video!

[richu]

Love the stories, one of the first videos i watched of yours was when you told us about the guy and the basement!! Lol Love the channel

[thomasmandeno]

There were 2 excellent ‘no pun intended’ opportunities there Dylan. You mentioned that it was or wasn’t a “Killer” record collection, and the judge “sealed the record”😂

[John-etwu]

It makes sense to think that a serial killer would have a weird music taste and better records, but to me a serial killer having a very normal mundane music taste makes the most sense. It reminds you of how outwardly normal and non weird most serial killers actually behave.
