The Holographic Universe Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 41 minutes ago, Coma16 said: Electric Storm and Hands that Build America were on U2s 90s compilation (along with a full disk of b-sides if I recall correctly). No Leaf Clover on Metallicas S&M release. Ahhh, yes, excellent examples. That’s because 90’s U2 really only had two albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I like Vinyl a lot. I love GNR. Will i buy this? Probably not, and i love my GNR collection. All hope is not lost... but it kinda feels that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I take this stance then hopefully I can be proved wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Including new songs in a Greatest Hits compilation is to give the hardcores a reason to buy an album with songs they've already heard many times over; the only thing the original GH had going for it was the first inclusion of Sympathy for the Devil on a GNR release. This is purely just a cash-in, since Record Store Day falls one day after the street date for this release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I can't, offhand, think of one greatest hits I own that doesn't have at least one 'new song' included on it. It's an age old industry trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) They probably think they did their duty by including Shadow of your love here again. In reality, they found a new way to disappoint. Give us fucking Hardschool at least! lol @RussTCB just posted as well.

I'm the one always shouting "VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET!!" when it comes to GN'R, but I'm absolutely going to buy this pressing. I own all 15 Pink Floyd studio albums on vinyl, but I still bought the 3 hits packages they put out. I'm the worst lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this on pre-order from a record shop, with an option to cancel between now and release date. I thought I'd buy myself some time, and see how my mood and attitude is come late-September! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Its only $55 (plus taxes) for us Canadians via Amazon... not sure what independent shops will price it as but can't imagine I would ever pay that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be waaaaayyyy too obvious though for Team Brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking it on the Greatest Hits instead of SOYL would have been the best idea and generated significant sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simultaneously release it to radio and the increased interest in the "2021" tour would be significant enough to make you think this was a band being managed by professionals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The LP set is part of a LP subscription service that is curated by Matt Sorum. He seems to selects the LPs to be sold? Just hit 'home' on the site. Theres a signed copy of his solo album too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this explains it. https://experiencevinyl.com/ He probably thought: "Well, that's cool, I'm gonna sell it with my signed picture" : 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not a big Matt fan, but that's probably a much better move than the others did. Edited August 22, 2020 by EricA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond parody!

soon Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think its weird that Matt curates a vinyl subscription service and none of us knew about it. He seems to be at the centre of the operation, with his Adopt the Arts charitable cause featured on the site as well. Im sure people in the vinyl thread knew. But still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matinator Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I feel like Matt went into the GNR abyss once NITL happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
