There is alot of great stuff out there

I saw that same Megadeth/Infectous Grooves show in 92. It was at the L.A. Sports Arena if I remember right. I saw them the night before in San Diego but it was Suicidal opening for Megadeth. They couldent play L.A. as Suicidal due to the fact that they were banned from playing Los Angeles due to thier ties to the Venice street gang of the same name, so when the tour got to L.A. they played as Infectous.

Why is that the Japanese versions always get the bonus tracks? Its just not fair to hardcore fans who want to hear the extra song and have to but a friggen import to get it.

I can understand your point. I fully support Joe and his right to make a profit as an artist. Heck I even bought the new Anthology even though I already have all his albums. I am sure fans would gladly BUY the "Aditional Creations" if it were available, but it is not. Therefore being a Satch junkie I had to get it somehow. Its like heroin man... I had to have it!

Thanks for the info. I knew it had to be some monetary reason. I thought it was to sell more copies as imports, turns out to be the exact opposite. Thank goodness for record company executives or where would the music industry be?

and just one suggestion.... SING AGAIN

I first heard Joe from a friend of mine who had bought Surfing when it first came out and played it over and over all day long. So of course I had to go and get it myself and saw Not of This Earth, so I picked it up too. Been a fan ever since.

Badgers? We dont need no stinkin badgers! lol

A true Christian is not going to shove thier beliefs at you. They are just going to express themselves and if you want to hear it, fine, if not, you dont have to listen. There is freedom of speech in this country and on this board. You dont have to slap down someone else for not believing the same thing you do.

I loved the early Wierd Al too. Another one rides the bus. was great. I can remember being a kid and just totally digging that song. Now my 9 year son is a big fan of his and has his last 2 albums. Wierd Al a multi-generational artist! Who woulda guessed

Not to bag on Van Halen he is an amazing player and a great songwriter but he has been playing the same solo for the last 25 years.

I mean no offense about my Van Halen comment. Its just that Eruption came out in like 1978 and when I saw him in '83 for his big solo he played it note for note. I saw him again like 10 years later and he did the exact same thing. He has been playing that solo for a long time now. If you were a hard core fan that saw every tour I'll bet it got a little repetitive after awhile.

Satch Boogie is a song. Eruption is a solo. I would not be able to see Satch multiple nights on the same tour if he played the exact same solo every show. I dont want to piss any Van Halen fans off. The last thing I want to do in here is start a riff. I understand that Eddie feels he has to play it for the fans that have never seen him before. I just think as an artist it must be very repetitive to have to do that.

and besides just cause you have 1600 posts and I only have 20. That makes you think your better than me?? LOL! I'm just kidding.
