That boxed set looks cool and has some good stuff in it. Ill be getting it. Not sure about the 'best of' CD though.

 

[Tough As Steel]

but i just realised they dont have Live My Way on the best of the B-sides. D'OH!!!

 

[Spiff]

I live my way, living for today, don't care what they saaaaaaay...

 

[Tough As Steel]

I LOVE that song. Why did they leave it off?

 

[phlogiston]

This box-set smacks of extreme coolness. They've needed something like this for a while now. Especially the B-Sides.

 

[spawn]

Damn that thing looks cool, Ill be getting it for SURE (The Donington 88 show looks rather unreal, as does Reading 1982)

THIS is the kind of thing they ought to do more often That casket thing looks cool

Another greatest hits though? Surely they have to be taking the piss! Who do they think they are? Kiss?

 

[Spiff]

Yep, the box set does smack of extreme coolness... but then they go and ruin it all by mentioning their new Best Of CD. ANOTHER one? Sigh.

 

[spawn]

It doesnt matter, we dont have to buy the greatest hits one

 

[phlogiston]

But the greatest hits one is not for the fans! It's for people to get introduced to the band and it will be advertised on telly(*). And the artwork will be available on the website, so there'll be no need. No real fans will buy this, I'm sure of it.

(* except in Australia, where it's poor sales will be another reason why they don't tour)

 

[Spiff]

Yeah, but they announced all this cool stuff, and I thought, "Rereleasing unreleased material (apart from the B-sides) is very unlike them!" and then they go and ruin it a little.

They should release a gig from Somewhere On Tour. That'd rule.

 

[spawn]

I wish ALL bands would release a live album after each tour actually

 

[phlogiston]

Can you re-release unreleased material?

 

[spawn]

As long as you tack on a bonus track

 

[Spiff]

Sorry, I have a bit of a stutter.

 

[Slash Freeman]

Why do they always have to release stuff like this as limited edition? I'm about to be a student and as such i'll NEVER have enough money for it until about 3 years after it's released, by which time it will have sold out unless they make about 5 million copies!!

btw, any idea how many they'll make?

 

[spawn]

Any cost estimates?

 

[Sydo]

Holy Crap!!

Beast Over Hammersmith and Monsters Of Rock Festival Donington 1988!!



Although the 'Best Of B-sides' don't interest me that much.

 

[Sydo]

Oh, and the Edward The Great thing must be a joke.

Are they gonna release a new greatest hits package after every album?

 

[Spiff]

Sell-outs!

 

[Sydo]

That they are.
