Steel Panther's lyric has new meaning.

"They're not worth the crust on my underwear"

Ok, new bitch...

Once in a while, I'll buy reissues, especially when I don't own the original release. The albums tend to sound better after being remastered, and bands often include some extras. Lately, I've found that bands are just remastering the album and putting it out as is. Come on bands, throw us a frickin' bone here!

Examples?

Motley Crue's July reissues. A couple of demos per disc. They did a great job with the remastering. I would have liked a live disc, something, anything extra. Come on Nikki. Pony up the music!

Look at how Rush is reissuing their classics. 2112, Moving Pictures, they're loaded with extras.

I don't like extras on the album tbh. Put that **** on a bonus disc or don't have any extras at all. Will have to check out those remaster though. Love me some Crue.

I love when I'm playing an album for a friend and I almost trip over them when I have to race to turn it off before the embarrassingly bad bonus tracks start playing

I think in terms of reissues your ire should be directed at the record labels/distributors rather than the artist. I doubt the latter has too much say in what they release.

Sometimes it's not even a bonus track.. You're just listening through the Tarkus suite with a mate and then Jeremy Bender suddenly rears his ugly head.

In the case of the Crue, they own their catalog. I'd rather be angry at Nikki. On the flip side, he's already died before. He wouldn't care about what one fan would have to say.
