[heavycelli]

Its good news for people who havent got those cd's yet..But tell me is it Doug scarret that plays on that whole re-issue of Dogs of war?? Oh I see just the 2 live tracks..Would make it interesting for me.. Pitty it is a limited edition... I think I go for the To hell and back DVD next year and another live album (I hope with the songs red line and to hell and back again..and lots more)

It is becoming a very annoying practice among bands to re-issue albums with bonus stuff, re-mastered sound... just a year or so after their official release.

I mean, if the album has been out of print for some time, I guess it is ok, but come on, just after their release... Kreator has done it, Exodus has done it... it is gonna be better to download and then wait to buy the stuff. They are sending the wrong message to the fans.
