Bad English Masterchief Posts: Written by Rekkuza on It really isn't that good No offense but USA food are more shit how japs food. I think I might have an explanation for this. The Japanese, in regards to the industrial and scientific fields, work much harder than lazy Americans, so as a reward, they get more songs on imported albums. Although, this is only a hunch. I think japonese food is great.

At least the kind of food I have eaten. Sushi is good, the rest tastes pretty shitty. I'm not saying it's bad for you, it is just that it tastes bad. I like Japanese food, especially sushi, wasabi is not for amateurs. But anyway, I don't know the reason for this, but yes, the Japs always get extra But it's okay, I'll just pirate them anyway, I don't think it's wrong.

W-Lash Metal Master Posts: Written by Guest on I think that you would buy cd with all extra tracks if you had possibility but you haven't. So downloading songs is the only way sure, you can buy another cd with bonus tracks but it's silly to buy same cd with one or two extra songs. The closest thing to metal we carry in our record stores is Van Halen! So given the circumstances, I have to "steal", it's not my fault that in The Bahamas, choices are lousy!

Written by LeChron James on I was thinking of the same thing and was about to post it, but then you already did.. How come people started to talk about Japanese food here?

Chinese food kicks the crap out of Japanese food imho. I'm Chinese and I love both: Written by Rosaka on Boy was I surprised when Chicken Teriyaki and an Octopus roll came flying out of the player when I got to the bonus tracks. The miso soup that fell out of the case probably should have tipped me off to not play the CD but I like Hypocrisy and I figured "okay strange but this seems safe".

Written by Ellrohir on I agree they are the 2 best songs on that album, So you imagine how pissed I was when I got the CD and the songs weren't fucking on there! Kimiwind Speed Metal God Posts: Is anyone really that fussed about them? If the extra track s were as good as the rest of the album then they'd be on the album. Only worth seeking out the japanese versions if you love the album and there are indeed bonus tracks on it. Only one I'd like is Vader- The Beast. On a somewhat related note, 2 Sore Throast albums were released on one CD and only available to the Japs. No idea why this is the case British band on a British label but quite annoying.

It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. Only us" Read Watchmen. Then they say don't download the songs - illegal Where are the songs mr. Sad thing is this seems no longer restricted to Japan.

Latest culprit i stumbled across is Airbourne. Seems to me like they produced double the amount of tracks that made it to their albums just to throw them around in a clusterfuck of different versions of the same thing. This has 5 bonus tracks. Another thing that pisses me off is the fact that you never ever find a list of different editions and which song was released where. Maybe the labels want to entice people to go on a treasure hunt for rare songs. But for what purpose? Most people would just download the songs, probaly not on iTunes or similar.

And it would only make sense if you have different editions in the same country. Why are bonus tracks so common in japanese versions of a release? Viktor Mellgren 9 Please provide some examples According to a user on MetaFilter: BCdotWEB 1, 6 Tetsujin 5, 1 4 This doesn't answer the question at all. You're talking about bootlegs, OP is asking about bonus tracks. It still remains speculation, and doesn't answer the question: I think you're being picky. Either alone doesn't fully explain it. For a pure marketing explanation, these tracks have to come from somewhere. Because bands submit them.

I've read plenty of anecdotes from bands where they deliberately record songs for B-Sides and Japanese bonus tracks. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
