I for one, hope not.

I'm asking because for the most part, GN'R have never included bonus tracks on import copies of albums, except for Japan getting "Coma" on Live Era- which we did get in the States, only on vinyl.

Anyone else afraid that Japan will get 2-3 extra tracks on their version of Democracy, and we'll have to pay some ridiculous amount just to get the tracks?

i've always thought it was a stupid idea for bands to do that.

is it something to do with the cost of cd's in Japan etc? The extra tracks give an extra incentive to buy

The way I always understood it was that the Japanese folks pay $40-$50 for regular CDs anyway - so it'd be MUCH cheaper for them to import copies from other countries. They get extra stuff to encourage them to buy their domestic versions.

But yes, it sucks that they get exclusive tracks regardless.

You'd be able to get the bonus song online anyway.

Yes - downloading them is an option, although I'd like to have a hard copy of them.

Maybe they'd turn up on European singles, but there always seems to be that ONE extra track that Japan gets that no-one else does.

The worst case scenario I've ever seen of Japan getting TOO much extra stuff is the Bon Jovi boxset - they got an entire freaking CD full of stuff that wasn't available anywhere else. Now THAT is bullshit. An extra track on each disc I could understand, but a whole CD?

I seriously hope GN'R doesn't give Japan a whole extra CD of material..

What happened?
« Reply #9 on: June 01, 2006, 05:09:34 PM »
That's why I was pissed at what happened with Velvet Revolver releasing so many different versions of their album. I thought it was fucking the fans and it would be ok to download the songs i needed, rather than buy 5 copies.

At least put the songs on iTunes here in the states, so we can pay for them, but not the whole album three or four times.

Well I think it was moreso the record company than VR behind all of those re-re-re-releases of Contraband. All I have is the original pressing, and yes, I also just downloaded the tracks that I was screwed out of.

I hope GNR plays it fairly with the extra tracks...maybe a US only EP for the fans

The WORST case scenario is what Def Leppard did with their cover cd that just came out - every freaking store got an exclusive version with totally different tracks on each - Best Buy did, Target did, Wal-Mart did, etc. Hell, that's even worse than what VR did.

Yes, and that's fine for those who don't care - but I'd rather have the real deal on CD than a compressed sounds-like-shit MP3.
