Old_school_gnr_fan Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I don't know if this has already been discussed in the official merchandise thread, but there is now a t-shirt commemorating the release of the Greatest Hits on vinyl. It looks decent. Can be bought seperately, or with the picture disc or 2 LP as a bundle package. https://gnrmerch.com/products/greatest-hits-t-shirt-picture-disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuld Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Does anyone else find it ironic that the band is doing a cash grab vinyl release of an album they sued to prevent the release of in 2004?

Yep and was about to mention that in another post. You would think they would do some sort of booklet, and add with the vinyl and redo the greatest hits with a real different track listing but nope.....

GNR_RNR Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 So tinfoil hat stuff here. What if Hardschool was/is intended to be on this release? As far as I've seen there's no mock-up with the track list on the back of the LP. Could point to a tracklist still in flux or one that was hastily "updated"? Don't know if there's any more room on the LP's? Also I know that this is intended as a vinyl release but will we get a CD release with SOYL on it?

albowhead Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Why would an unreleased song be anticipated to be on a Greatest Hits album? Is it typical to have an unreleased track as a bonus track or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd see it more like 50/50, or maybe slightly leaning towards your opinion, but definitely not 9/10. And even if that was the case, GNR would be that 1/10.

albowhead Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I see that now. Stones, Springsteen, The Cure etc. But you have to admit its kinda funny (outside of obvious marketing and fan fare) to release a new song on a greatest hits.

I think the impression is by virtue of it being on a GH, it would be likely a single and getting a bit of airplay anyway....so people would see it as a hit that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stress Fracture Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2020 Even Nirvana included a new song on their greatest hits in 2002. Kurt Cobain managed to do what Axl couldn’t while he was dead. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it typical to have an unreleased track as a bonus track or something? Sometimes it is to entice people who had enough of the band's albums to not need a Greatest Hits, to buy the album. The one that comes to mind immediately is when Courtney Love put Nirvana's "You Know You're Right" on their Greatest Hits compilation to try and hype of the album for more sales 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Electric Storm and Hands that Build America were on U2s 90s compilation (along with a full disk of b-sides if I recall correctly).
