Wall of Mouths

I would have to second that.

Is the main reason that I didn’t bother downloading the Rock you Monkeys / Polar Bear single. Don’t really buy many singles in general to be honest, but with Therapy? the B-sides have been very worth while in the past (Love Pantopon Rose!!!) and I feel that they are great on the RHC EP.

You’re just bitter cos i’ve got the “bad boys running wild / big city nights” 12”. And the 7” red vinyl edition of “when passion rules the game”.

:(

*Thumbs through his Scorpions collection and feels his heart sink when he comes to the said glaring omissions*

Has anyone actually got the rain hits concrete single.

I think in the case of the last download e.p, it was a bit shit, a double a side single with 2 songs from an album everbody already has, and then live versions of songs that we’ve all heard live versions of a million times before.

And the if it kills me single if i remember correctly had rust as a bside and mama you can call the ambulance now, asong from the album and one of their “pop” singles there trying to move away from.

In this case we are actually getting the value for money, 3 b-sides.

Bands like the wildhearts always supply original b sides, and have i do believe never done a live b side. i could be wrong but i dont think so

exactly, i mean the of therapy albums are great, cantknock it, but the singles of recent times arent worth it.

Someone here did ask how many people buy singles and there right, i never buy them, i was getting al the wildhearts ones that they released, and i try and get old therapy ones every so often, but nothingt else interests me.

When i buy a single, i want recorded b-sides, not album knockoffs, thats why i actually got rain hits concrete.

Either that or i dont want live versions of songs and another song thats already on the album i bought.

The only exception that could be made would be the almightys just add life singles era where all the live songs made up a whole gig, combined with the tour edition album.

yeah there quality, shame you cant get that quality anymore.

Favourite wildhearts b-side, probably girlfriend clothes, they played that on the T?/Hearts tour, and i ejaculated, metaphorically you understand.

out of the newer b-sides, its got to be OCD

well obviously we do.

I rate them equally, the point being made here was that the wildhearts are a lot better at supplying top quality bsides where as in recent years therapy have been more palming us off with crappy live stuff or double a sides.

You cant compare the 2 bands musically because they are way too different genre wise, which is strange as the 2 bands do share mostly the same fanbase

Yep, i was there, it was like a little slice of heaven. My 2 fave bands under one roof.
Therapy? opening with meat abstract, ending with hey satan you rock which i thought would be one of those songs they dumped when they got shot of martin, then the mighty wildhearts come on.

Was impressive b-side night, girlfriend clothes, dangerlust, ocd, cheers, beautiful thing you.

I saw the wildheart at the harlow square if you ever heard of it, that was the best gig ever, such a great in such a tiny venue, and most songs available on request.

Would have loved to see them the first time around, but made up by seeing them just about everytime they played london after that, the square gig topped them all though. I had to beg for everlone, my mate got suckerpunch for his birthday, they did splattermania and news of the world.

They had about 5 set songs, everything else was request.

Oh man, how I wish more bands were like that..

I love Motorhead, and they seem to tour every year, but they play the same set night-in-night-out and the next year they might vary, say, four of the songs from the previous year..

However, does more money go to the band with this download thingy? Whats the percentage chart thing of what each faction gets.

GOOD question!

I imagine the band should get more money…but ya never know with record companies, do you?

For sure.

Only learned a few months ago that record companies own the album recording. The band still own the song, but recording is property of record company. Talk about suck!”

Bands only own live recordings.

mmm…k…could be totally wrong. Just a mate was ranting at me about this so kinda believed him

If record companies own the recordings and the bands own the live recordings, where does that leave the b-sides from RHC E.P.

The band went and recorded them seperate to the album recording. And there is no physical CD or anything.

So! who owns those recordings?

They have my soul in a bottle. I traded it for half a sandwich and some Transformers collectable stickers. :(

(I think it really depends on the contract, though.)
