Possible "B" sides to any single

[Minneapolisnewsman]

My suggestion:  Oh My God Instrumental---brilliant!!!   Are there still "B" sides in the I-Pod age??? 

[Voodoochild]

It's not brilliant when they have a shitload of unknown songs that all fans would love to hear instead of an already released song.

Like Shadow of Your Love?  I think that would be cool!  On the other hand, the new band generates brilliant music on their own, before Axl adds his parts!!!  I have heard, that some of the recently leaked instrumentals were brilliant!!!

I have also heard, that Tool's 10,000 Day's is brilliant!  Amazing!!

I hope Silkworms and Riyadh become B-sides. Im not a huge fan of these songs, but I bet they sound a hell of alot better in the studio then it did live, specifically Riyadh.

[mikegiuliana]

man at this point if we just get an album and a few singles I will be happy.. years ago you bought a cassette or record and they had b sides, nowadays I don't even know ..

[SADIS]

They should do it just like Juliette & the Licks did it. Release some extra tracks over I-tunes which were not on the album and never will be. All the fans will buy them and never complain they aren;t that great since it's just a "bonus"....

I guess there are still exclusive tracks that make buying a single more worth while, but actually calling them "B-sides" is a little too yesterday with cassettes dead and buried.

[Chuzeville]

Sides were primarily a vinyl thing. But it's still used for CD singles with bands that actually put unreleased material there (take Oasis for instance : each single comes with 2 or 3 new songs). I don't think GnR were ever that big on that.

years ago, American record companies thought selling singles was a good business in itself, now they want you to buy entire albums at inflated prices

I made a point of collecting every GN'R CD i could, be it singles, e.p., album or foreign. i put all the tracks on one CD in the end as it's easier to get to each track but so far GN'R haven't been a big B-Side band like say Oasis.
this is what's on the CD..

I'd love to see more B-Sides in the future, hopefully demos of 'Chinese Democracy' tracks (God knows there's loads of them!) or live tracks.

peace.

personally I've never been impressed with GnR's b-sides..i don't see anyreason for Axl to change the way he does things.

Personally, I think it boils down to the fact that they don't finish tracks if they aren't good enough to be on the album...
