If anybody gets this I will be HIGHLY impressed.....

Although, they have played 2 songs in concert early in their career that were originals that never appeared on any release....

Since I don't think I own a single import CD, I am just going to take a couple wild guesses. 1 Led Zeppelin 2 Black Crowes

Nope...and...............Nope.

Keep guessing.....

If I'm right, YES!! If not, I was just joking ...I couldn't tell you
the first thing about this group... :wink:

I'll give you a hint: It's not Mr. Big. So we will be forever subjected to their sub-standard music, unfortunately..... :lol:

would you prefer the Japanese fans getting a new song, and then everyone else complaining that it wasn't on the regular release? At least you don't have to worry about shelling out the currency to get the import now. Sounds like everyone wins. The Japanese record label gets their extra song, and the rest of the Journey nation doesn't have to worry about getting short-changed.

whatever happens, there'll be complaints about it...

The point is this; if you're a fan of the new lineup, and I'm sure there are some in Japan, you probably *already* have this "bonus" track. Seriously, though, how is a track of a re-record, off of a previously released DVD, a bonus???

Well, being a Harem Scarem fan - I'm used to getting the same bonus track on THREE different albums. How ya like me now?!

A lot of folks raved about the extended version of What I Needed. If Management's dead set against using a new song as a bonus track, I agree with SJ. I think using a live version of an original song from Revelation would be the only other way to go.

Why not a brand new unreleased track from another album? I'm sure there are unreleased tracks in the vaults. This isn't RUSH we are talking about here.....

If the band is gonna canibalize their "legacy sound" there are worse ways to do it. I remember alot of fans wanting a cd version of the 2001 Vegas dvd. So a track from Manilla Live isn't so bad. Would be preferable if it was from a different concert altogether tho.

I love What I Needed, but I think Change for the Better is great live, also.

I'm only a dissenting douchebag in odd numbered months....We were bound to agree at some point this month. :lol:

by **Glenn** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:09 am

Who cares...It's for the Japeanese release...Maybe they the Journey fans over there will enjoy Arnel's/Current Journey's version of it.

The ONLY reason I wouldn't want it on the 'm getting is that DSB doesn't seem to go along with the other songs (going by what Andrew said) Eclipses "theme".

just my opinion.

I've learned to expect that.

Remember Me, when I first heard it, got me really excited about the future...Then 3 years came Arrival, and I became "less excited".

Backstreet Boys?

by **S2M** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:20 am

Boston.....Nope.

Back End Boys.....Nope....

I already gave you a hint somewhere in this thread.....in fact, I gave you the answer..... :shock:

by **lordreo** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:29 am

Uh wait, I know this one...!

Is it maybe... I don't know... Rush? :wink:

Correct....

The 2 songs were

Garden Road
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-4vsLucYzM

Fancy Dancer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBGyXIZZUDc&feature=related

And 1 of the 2 Demos they used to get signed....the other one was a cover of 'Not Fade Away'

You Can't Fight It
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGITvLq51o0&feature=related

Not Fade Away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO-7CV1IUl8&feature=related

If you can grab a copy of the bootleg, The Fifth Order of Angels, you should. It is the FIRST show that Neil played out with the boys. It is a Pre-FM Broadcast Soundboard.....meaning - it could be an official release.....from August 26, 1974.....in Cleveland.

by **lordreo** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:35 am

Yay, worked very hard on finding the answer :roll:

by **Saint John** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 9:21 am

The fact remains that the *bonus* on this album is a 30 year old song that's a re-record. Moreover, the song has been downloaded 5 million times and is on about 30 million albums that have been sold. Chop sticks would have been less insulting.

by **lordreo** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 9:24 am

Who cares? Nobody has to buy the japanese version...

Pink Floyd? Rush?

Edit: oops nevermind, just read the rest :lol:

by **SYNCH** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 1:02 pm

What's up with this idea?

I could care less bitching on a new song, no flow, accent, non-Journey, spiritual concept whatever, etc. but a re-tread again? Not very good, Journey.

EDIT: Is there an official announcement?

Exactly....who cares!

Now the die-hards don't have to fork out extra cash for one extra track. Glad it's not a new studio track. We are talking japan only release folks.
