B sides to be released in the USA

[mikegiuliana]

Blabbermouth reports that Duff spoke to Launch Radio Networks about releasing a new version of 'Contraband' later this month, with an added bonus cd featuring the cover songs 'No More, No More' (Aerosmith), 'Surrender' (Cheap Trick) and 'Negative Creep' (Nirvana). The band has also recorded a cover of Queen's 'Tie Your Mother Down', but it's not sure if that one will be included. In addition to the re-issue of 'Contraband', the band are also looking to release a DVD.

Sounds good, hope the dvd happens..

[Ignatius]

I knew it!!!!

I posted this a while back. You guys should know that I'm the new PR 

[Mikkamakka]

Good idea. But I won't buy a second and import Contraband. 

[Eazy E]

Blah... Usher tactics.... I'll buy the import singles to get the B-Sides.

[kupirock]

Are these songs really that great to put on that re-issue cd... ??

AEROSMITH's - No More No More,
CHEAP TRICK's? - Surrender,
NIRVANA's - Negative Creep,
QUEEN's - Tie Your Mother Down*

that possible concert DVD sounds more interesting...

Why don't they put those b-sides on a bonus disc with the DVD?

I wish they would have put it on another disk, but it's available only overseas and it costs a ton to buy singles like that, so to buy the album again with the listed covers to me is no big deal.. If you had to buy the four covers without the album you would still be paying 12 or more dollars american with the shipping..

Anways I could give the disk to a friend who works at my gym, person really likes the album..

Absolutely! , If they really care about fans that should be the way to release those songs...Isn't that little bit sad that people needs to buy contraband two times to get those B-sides...

I agree, I wonder how much four songs would be buy themselves??I mentioned a few things above why I wouldn't mind paying for the album.. The b sides might cost the same as an album without contraband..It might be they have nothing else to offer with it besides their current album,... Maybe they just want you to buy more records?? Very possible ,b ut if it's like 12-15 bucks I don't mind because four songs on a disk would cost the same.. Also to buy these songs individually overseas to go with fall to pieces n slitehr would cost me more then 20 dollars..

Total bullshit ... I'm so glad I paid $10 for imports to get a couple of those ... God forbid they just include the songs on the album in the first place.

I hope no one buys the damn thing, but I'm sure those who bought one of each color will run right out and buy this, too.  I hope they put it out in sixteen different colors this time, so that they can get people to buy sixteen different copeis.

I don't get the big deal, lets say they didn't release it with contraband, how much would it cost to get a disk with four singles? As for why didn't they include it in the start, well who knows, maybe they hadn't covered all the songs or wanted to put 4 covers on a debut album.. Imagine how everyone would have complained if vr had one album with 4 covers?

Maybe they should have released something like lies, new songs with half covers..

I'm not disagreeing, I just figure since they were all imports for me and shipping is a fortune then what's the big deal to buy this together? 4 songs or contraband included it might cost about the same..

[Jizzo]

I'll buy it, I've already destroyed one copy by overplaying it and I'm onto the second one now,ive got a 3rd in reserve so a fourth wouldn't be that bad.

[Acquiesce]

I would have preferred for them to release an EP or something along those lines instead of a new version of the album, but I'll probably get it. It will be cheaper to buy it than to import the singles considering it will be about $10 the first week its released.

[jrs2001_99]

Have "No More No More" or "Tie Your Mother Down" appeared as B-Sides on singles yet? They are the only ones I really would like to hear, but if I have to buy an import copy of Contraband to do so, I'll give 'em a miss (I live in Ireland).

I think the Fall to Pieces single over here has Surrender as the B-side, while Slither had Negative Creep (I think). My version of Contraband has Bodies tacked on at the end.

[Dave_Rose]

I dont think I'd buy contraband again but I would like those b-sides

/jarmo

Exactly, thats what I DEMAND!

[Wheres Izzy]

I wish "Bodies" was on there too since we didn't get it on the original contraband here in the states. Anyone who got the version with bodies, is it live or studio?

[AdZ]

Why not just record a few more and make a b-sides album?

[metallex78]

Bodies is live, but I think with re-recorded studio vocals. Sounds great too!

[Eazy E]

They should put Money on the disc too.


Edit - A little something about re-packaged disks:

No Love For Twista
One go-round of Twista is apparently good enough for most fans. Despite getting heat from his track with R. Kelly, "So Sexy Chapter II (Never Like This)," Twista couldn't do any better than #96 with a reissued version of his latest album, Kamikaze, which includes the track. Where most artists who reissue their most recent album with bonus tracks ? most recently Usher ? usually come close to the original's first-week position, Twista's 쟪ick-up Kamikaze came up 95 spots short.

Do you think 3 B-sides is enough to push Velvet Revolver back into the Top Ten on Billboard?
