Thanks to the information era this is a trend that is sadly going out of style. When you buy a cd or a track online if there's bonus material hidden at the end you'll rarely get to hear it. Sadly, if you just steal the album with a torrent site you're more likely to get the whole thing in its entirety. I can only recall a couple of examples over the years... Green Day on the end of Dookie, Tool's 'Disgustipated', there's some noise at the end of one of my Opeth albums. Can't remember which one. Its always a nice surprise to find though.

Man are you for real?


YOu mean most of the population don't even listen to the real album any more?


That is a shame :sad1:

I saw there was a sad2 so I was so sad about what I said I tried putting a sad1 just to show how friggin sad I am about what I said, no lies man

you know its interesting but the biggest threat to the music industry right now really isn't piracy, its iTunes. Most people would rather just pay a dollar for that one song they heard on the radio than 15 for the whole thing. So the artist makes next to nothing AND most of their music doesn't get heard. However, most people that download music will get the whole album (and often discography) and a large portion of us actually will go out and buy the cd if we like it enough to keep it. I had a collection of about 200 albums before they were stolen and I would still rather buy a cd than download.

There's another trend that died with the era of tapes and cds... special songs/messages that can only be heard when the song is played backwards. It was way easy to do with a record, next to impossible to do with a tape or cd without special equipment. There's plenty of software out there now that will do it for you, but most people don't care enough to look for it, and very few artists actually put those kinds of easter eggs on their releases anymore.

DUDE!

I KNOW and ya know what pisses me off about those people even MORE?!?

They complain about LIMEWIRE! How does that make any sense?!?!?

At least the people there SHARE MUSIC AND GO BUY THE CDS!!!!

Todd Snider, 'Songs for the Daily Planet'

A bonus track, at the end, nothing listed any where in liner notes.

dude did you not read the thread?


Cuz I just listened to that guy? Todd Snider, or whatever?


And he...well...the song I picked since I didn't know him sucked.


So which of the questions you answering? #4 or #5?

Sorry dude, you're cool with me you know that but I HAD TO lol

i found one on a blue october cd....one time and maybe on alice

Well I heard one on a bunch....

but my fav is "after #12" on Purple by STP..........dunno if it has a name

Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of live music, buying albums and helping the musician get his money. (probably because I am a musician too but thats beside the point :P) But at the same time, I did dig how linkin park rocked it, getting big online before thier album was even released, it was pure genius and a sign of our generation.

#1 Just because youre a musician doesnt change the importance of your views

#2 Promoting anything to do with "music" online is bad

#3 Hello how are you?

#4 If you were Sting, I would care that you were a musician

#5 But Sting has cooler pictures

oh very true, but still figured it might be worth mentioning.


I do agree mostly, but at the same time, when linkin park did release thier first CD, they still got ALOT of sales even though over half thier music was already downloaded. I guess its the angle you stab it at?


drunk as a skunk and happy as a clam, you?


LOL too bad im not sting, ah well

now that is rock n roll...or maybe it wasnt...but it would be a lot cooler if if was

Excess Baggage from Staind on the Dysfuntion cd

Nine Inch Nails, "Broken" some older CD players say the albumn has 99 songs, but there is only 6 tracks listed on the CD, but songs 98 and 99 are two additional songs...does that count, kinda?

TOOL had one but i can't remember the cd.

and my personal fave is the classic green day..

I was all by my self...

no one was looking...

i was thinking of you...

LOL

Have found great hidden tracks on Killers and Matchbox 20, if I recall right...
