Title: VR Greatest Hits
Post by: seely on December 06, 2007, 07:44:48 AM
I've just been wondering, since VR is going through a dark patch (again!) at the moment, they might not be around for much longer, and so it's likely that RCA will do a greatest hits record. What would you guys like to see on there?

My list is:

-Do It for the kids
-illegal i song
-get out the door
-big machine
-fall to pieces
-the last fight
-pills, demons and e.t.c
-Set me free
-let it roll
-slither
-american man
-grave dancer (without the horrible hidden track)



or something like that anyway!

VR Greatests Hits?
I'd have it as a 2 disk set- disk 1 Contraband; disk 2 Libertad.

Seriously, you can't make a greatest hits out of only 2 albums and a few covers.

Depends on how many songs you wanna include, they could include some b-sides as well, like 'Messages' and 'Psych Killer' to spread it out

They'd have to do a "best of" as VR doesn't have many hits.  :rofl:

The whole Greatest hits idea for VR is a really bad idea right now, they are more likely to rerelease Libertad with Messages on it.

I'd say a b-sides is more likely if RCA decides to put something out that isn't a brand new album.  They have enough for it.

Probably would be a decent idea, something to fill the gap between now and the next record

I suspect it would be something like this:

Set Me Free
Slither
Fall To Pieces
Dirty Little Thing
Come On Come In
You Got No Right
She Builds Quick Machines
The Last Fight
Fall To Pieces (acoustic)

plus a couple of non-singles and tracks that weren't on the CDs (like Japanese/iTunes bonus tracks).

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if thats how it went down. Especially if the band ends up not staying together. Either the band or the record company will probably try to squeeze every penny out of the name while they can.

It still really pisses me off that they left a gem like "Messages" off the album.

Yeah I will still never get that. When I met Slash last month at a book signing here in jersey I told him it was my favorite song from libertad and asked him why it was left off. He said that they thought the album had too many ballads and they knew they needed a song to give to itunes so they chose messages.

If they were dumb enough to try something like this, I'd assume it'd be something like the following:


  1. Set Me Free ("Hulk" soundtrack version - the mix was better)
  2. Slither
  3. Fall To Pieces
  4. Dirty Little Thing
  5. Sucker Train Blues (It WAS going to be the third single, but they went with DLT instead.)
  6. Come On, Come In
  7. She Builds Quick Machines
  8. The Last Fight
  9. Get Out The Door
10. Let It Roll
11. Messages
12. Gas And A Dollar Laugh
13. Psycho Killer
14. No More No More
15. Surrender
16. Money
17. Negative Creep
18. Bodies (Live)

A "hits" and b-sides package would be the best way - since they'd be able to fill the disc up and pimp out the "rare" tracks.
