VR To Release 'Melody And The Tyranny' EP

[Neemo]

depends how much it is.

i'm not gonna pay alot for 1 cover song. i already have contraband and I'll be buying libertad. I may watch the documentary once but seems that may be on libertad anyway seems like a cash grab to me, but hell they released contraband a hundred times too so its not beyond the scope of reality.

This is pretty cool...I'll likely pick this up just as a collecters or what have you...Is there only 1 song on here that wont be on Liberated? that being a cover?

I freely admit that I'm no great admirer of VR's music and I promise that I'm not trying to start an argument here, but I am genuinely interested to know whether any of the VR fans feels that the release of this EP is more of a moneyspinner than anything else.?

It appears that way.

I had no problem with the three-cover gimmick they used for the first album; I thought it simply gave buyers the option to choose their favorite.? This is a bit different, as the record company is pawning off a single as an EP.? The "documentary" is nothing more than brief clips that have been available online for months now (worse yet, it appears to be going on the album as well).? This is a very crass product with little value.? Its also a wasted opportunity to release a real EP.

The most disappointing aspect of this news, to me, is the inclusion of a cover on the album, as well as the exclusion of several previously discussed originals.

I don't see the big rip off here. It's a single, but they call it an EP. As I said before, I'd be happier with Libertad left-overs on it, hopefully they'll release those later on another EPs. The only issue is the price... if they wanna sell it for the price of an album, it'll be a cash grab, for sure, and I won't be a part of that.

One thing to add: it'd be more of a rip-off if they didn't put the making of Libertad to the full-length album.

Id rather it wasnt on there.  Its a waste of a track.

Well, I agree. An own song instead of the cover, and a plus song instead of the 'making of' would be much better. It'd be enough to put the 'Making of' to the limited edition stuff. Casual fans don't give a shit how the record was made.

[JDA]

Very cool!

[Smoking Guns]

Come On, Come In should be on the EP.  Not DOFTK.  Come one, Come In was only available on that crappy soundtrack.

I have no problem with Psycho Killer been on there, its the inclusion of Do It For The Kids ahead of a possible leftover that's disappointing. Maybe the rest of the songs were too weak, I don't know. Calling it an EP is clearly an attempt by the record industry to save singles.

As for the documentary, I'm confused why they would put it on both EP and album, surely they'd sell more if they only put it on the EP?

Maybe I'm wrong, but don't EP's normally imply some live tracks? Maybe DIFTK is live?Its 18 seconds longer than the contraband version so its clearly different.

i dont get it..

so its basically 2 songs a month before the album comes out.   Along with a cover tune.   And a live version of a mediocre song from the last album.

I'll give them a dollar for it!

[kaasupoltin]

Can't wait for this shit This is going to be a great year when it comes to music..

[Genesis]

Not going to buy this.

[stolat]

Can't wait for this shit This is going to be a great year when it comes to music..

That won't be out this year. Next year will be better AC/DC are touring!

[Billo]

Hey will this EP be out in Australia at the same time?? I asked for any new info on new VR and they said the new CD will be out on June 30th?

[kaasupoltin]

Your not the familiar with the idea of singles, are you? It's just a way of promoting the album rather than make money, moreso these days. Dunno why they decided to call it an EP - i guess coz there's 2 album tracks, I dunno.

As Do It For The Kids rocks - awesome riff, brilliant live too. Shame Slash didn't have  a longer solo.

It's so people will think, "wow an EP I have to have this". It's a way for them to make more money, same goes for the multiple format albums and the multiple covers. Its all a way for them to make more money and sell more albums.

That song is just filler, IMHO.

It's a single, what the big deal? You don't have to buy it.

[Thorned Rose]

Why add in DIFTK?

THat song was average and why is it on there?
