US Customers Being Cheated

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Is it just me or are we being punished for living in the US? I remember when GnR Live Era came out and I heard the oversee's versions had a LIVE COMA version on them. I really like coma and wanted a live version.


Now VR releases its new album. They want us to COLLECT all three of the little cheap cardboard sleeves. But how come the other versions come with a live version of Bodies and the Australian/UK version also has a different version of the single Slither with Negative Bodies? How come we never get anything extra. Give us a different song only available here. Give us something special or atleast don't cheat us.

has to do with exchange rate or economy of the other countries or something like that.

Japan gets bonus tracks to make the Japanese people buy domestic cds instead of imported ones.

I once read that Japan pays a high import tax on CDs, so in order to make it worthwhile, they put bonus tracks on CDs that were first released in other countries.

I wouldn't complain. You guys get to see em live over there, and on a damn sight more TV programmes and in more magazines than we do.

I live 'overseas and i don't have 'Coma' on Live era - is there actually a version that does?

Just RCA and VR attempting to rip off more of your dollars by hoping you'll buy several copies of their CD. IT'S ALL GREED. That's why it's copy protected and that's why you should BOYCOTT THIS CD !

[Cowboy Buddha]

We, US, are always screwed on the extra shit.  And No don't ban the copy protected CDs, they are only doing it because of the people who download rediculously.  So, blame the downloaders not the record companies/bands.
