A thought - will Japan get bonus tracks on their version of Democracy?

[C0ma]

well then amazon.com the japanese one..
the point im trying to make is even IF japan gets extra stuff i am almost sure of it that we could all get a copy of it without too much trouble.

It wouldn't be hard to get, but I know that when Live Era was released I jumped on Tower Records Japan and ended up paying 5400 yen (which was like 45 dollars at the time) the US CD was like 24 dollars the week it came out.

At this point, I'd be happy with ANY damn version of "Chinese Democracy"...

you couldn't have said it better my friend.

the unofficial reason being it is to support the overseas pressing plants who in turn export a great majority of these to a worldwide (mostly North American) buying public who collect these types of things.

I heard the extra track will be the reggae version of OMG.

Do we know CD is coming out?

on the VR album the UK got a bouns track, not sure what's it called

Live version Sex Pistols 'Bodies', it was also a b-side on CD One of 'Slither' in the UK.

I'm living in Japan and will be here for a few years.  If there is an extra track I'll see what I arrange for everyone.

It's highly unlikely

I'll check next week sometime and get a definitive answer

Mysteron is seriously the best.

People should not fight with the guy. I know I did that whole Boston thing but I had my doubts back then. I was wrong.

Mysteron really does provide us with some great information and has helped us out with the NYC shows which was seriously a great thing for him to do.

He deserves are respect and some individuals should really stop fighting with him. You guys know who you are!

These bonustracks/versions pretty much depends on the sales of the band in various areas. The basic sales areas are; US, UK, Europe, Asia and AU. for example the VR thing. There was different versions of Contraband for UK, Europe and US. US did got the limited edition with bonus dvd. Wich was the last one. Europe got the tour edition with bonus cd and UK got theyre version with 1 bonustrack. So thats basicly how it works. On singles the thing works basicly only in UK since they have the most efficient single chart wich shows the rest of the world how good anything is (yeah, how lame!) and most of the times, there is 2 versions of one track. This is explained by the thing that when there are 2 versions of the same single they get the sales information on both, but since its same track it only makes into the chart as one single and thats how they can "double" the sales, make it look that is would sell more. when theres 2 versions selling but they are counted as one..... The single pt2 is usually a limited edition version, like slither pt2 was.
And this really sucks big time.
