James Bond Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 What are some of your favorite non-album cuts by bands?AC/DC have some really great songs that never made an album. Two of my favorites are "Down on the Borderline" and "Borrowed Time" which are from around the release of Blow Up Your Video. In fact, I'd rank those two songs as better than much of the material that ended up on the final album. For a while I only had decent quality versions but thankfully they released much of those songs on the Backtracks CD/DVD set.For Guns, I always sound "Crash Diet" was a great tune and could have been a killer track if it was reworked and released. There's a great cover of it on YouTube by scorpio1978 which kind of shows what could have been. There's plenty of others I like, but those were the first that popped into my head.

Powerage5 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Definitely agree on those 2 AC/DC tracks, as well as Snake Eye from the Blow Up Your Video sessions. Big Gun too, would have been the best song on Ballbreaker hands down. Are we counting stuff that wasn't released in all countries on an album? If so, add Cold Hearted Man to the AC/DC list. For other bands:Nobody Likes Me - Alice CooperI'm The Man - AnthraxRaise Hell - AnthraxWicked World - Black Sabbath (If we're going on the "not available on all versions" clause too)Shadow Of Your Love - Guns N' RosesOh My God - Guns N' RosesSilkworms - Guns N' RosesBurning Ambition - Iron Maiden (Definitely my favorite song with Paul Di'Anno, and one of my favorite Maiden songs period)Invasion - Iron MaidenWomen In Uniform - Iron MaidenReach Out - Iron MaidenThat Girl - Iron MaidenAdmittedly, I don't know much non-album stuff from too many bands, but these are some of my favorites.

GivenToFly Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 There's a lot of non studio album tracks that I love, released on different compilations.Two that you guys may not know but are pretty good: Velvet Revolver - All Things Considered, Lay Me Down, pre-Scott outtakes. They sound a lot like It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere. The latter is especially good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Above all, AC/DC Big Gun. IT IS AWESOME.1- Motörhead's Overkill (iTunes Exclusive Version) should've been a bonus track in their latest album for sure2- Metallica's No Leaf Clover and Minus Human should've both been in a studio album3- Radiohead's Fog (Again): As much as I hate Radiohead, they don't have many songs up to par with this one, which has never been recorded.4- GnR's Oh My God5- Linkin Park's New Divide6- Kanye West's Christian Dior Denim Flow and Good Friday7- Gorillaz's Doncamatic: Not that good but better than almost anything from The Fall.8- Buckethead's Jordan9- AC/DC's Down on The Borderline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
