Japan Bonus Track

[Ritchie]

Has anyone thought about it that this could be a heartfeld symbolic gesture towards the Japanese fans who maybe some of them are in a bad situation because of what happened there...remember..eartquakes..nuclear meltdown...some people there are in deep shit!
Just my two cents.

[Saint John]

Has anyone thought about it that this could be a heartfeld symbolic gesture towards the Japanese fans

Yeah, I sure did. Then I realized it was still a stupid idea.

[NoMoreTails]

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

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.

I'm really pissed that one of the best tracks wasn't left off the US version....again....shouldn't they get more songs than us?

The real reason I'm writing is to ask when the new Riverdogs will be released?!!

Rob Lamothe didn't impress me much at MRF2.....I know Viv is in the band. Maybe the saving grace?

His great DIO days long gone, counting on Vivian Campbell to be an album's "saving grace" is about as smart as counting on Stephen Hawking to win a triathlon.

I guess you didn't see his ventriloquist act last summer....His robot dummy was awesome, and I swear to god his lips didn't move......

I thought his playing on the Riverdogs debut was his best ever.

I'll readily admit ignorance on this one, as I've never heard it. That good, huh?

I haven't heard it in a while as I had it on cassette....but I was really impressed with his playing on it.

Just my two cents.

Then write a song specifically for them, donating proceeds to the Japanese Red Cross. That would be a lot more heartfelt instead of rolling out yet another release of a 30 year old song that's been used more ways than an Olongapo whore at a sailors convention.

I agree,why use this regurgitated song again but that was the only reason I could think of.

[JourneyHard]

Anything is better than the "Bonus" Track on Journey's Greatest Hits Live! There is an extra untitled track. I thought it was going to be Chain Reaction or something cool, but it ended up being fireworks!

I agree but the last part of your statement is not necessary.

We are equal opportunity offenders here. If you haven't figured that out by now, you may need to go and resharpen the tools in your shed.

I'm not understanding what was offensive

I don't know either. We have whores on the east side of town here too and I'm sure the sailors use them too.

[diezynueve69]

Lol...not so much offensive as it was funny...

[Andrew]

The real reason I'm writing is to ask when the new Riverdogs will be released?!!

News coming right up

[Andrew]

Rob Lamothe didn't impress me much at MRF2.....

Rob was only perfoming his solo material ACOUSTICALLY. That's not the Riverdogs.

Yep. Great album. Subtle, intelligent, emotion, but rock based.

[RSParker]

That song would be my choice of a bonus track..im sick of DSB

"]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.[/quote]

Saw Andrew's tweet.....Don't Stop Believing - Live in Manilla

Not a fan of it not being a new track.

Why? You're a fan of being ripped off by regional label politics? Those kind of bonus tracks were the reason I stopped buying CD's altogether. It's stupid.

This is great news.

I like as many new J tunes as possible. Someday there will be no more of them, and I want as many when they are active as possible.

Well, at least we know you subscribe to the quantity over quality philosophy of things....good to know.

One of their better songs of their past 28 years was the bonus on Generations.."Never too late"

AND

"I can see it in your eyes" is the best rock track on TBF.

[Saint John]

"I can see it in your eyes" is the best rock track on TBF.

And that's about as impressive as winning a Gold Medal at The Special Olympics. Vocally horrid song, showcasing a trashed, hollow voice with no depth left on rocking songs. Excellent musically, though. Just like MOL.

[Journey/Survivor]

Have any of you ever heard the remake of "The Place In Your Heart?"

Any of you know how I might be able to download it?
