"Time to play B-Sides" (and bonus tracks!)

I use to own all those Iron Maiden 2 disc sets when I lived in Hawaii - unfortunately had to part with them for financial reasons... I regret it still to this day.

Non-Metal:



[btw, Runicen - they also cover "Cars" on this maxi!]

My personal favorite track off the latest Napalm Death album. Sadly, since it's a bonus track there are no lyrics in the booklet, meaning I can't understand a word of it.

Whitesnake had some good ones on their "Best of" collection.

For non-metal Saliva, Disturbed and Nickelback usually have good tracks.

nickelback sucks, now and forever.

On the actual topic though, one of my favorite Iron Maiden B-sides:

That could be the title of the Greatest Hits album

Now they don't, and this isn't a "bands that you think suck" thread.

All threads are Nickleback sucks threads.There's a rule!   

Back on topic, Judas Priest always had good bonus tracks like "All Fired Up" and "Thunder Road".

I want my nickel back....Paid .05 for a cd by them at a yard sale.  Even my dog didn't like it and he licks his own sack and eats other dogs poop.   Go figure.

You're Hell on Wheels, James.

No shit. Which is why my post also contains one of my favorite b-sides.

To the question at hand....



The greatest B-side of all time (IMHDO)

The Snapper Records reissues of the W.A.S.P. catalog have loads of tasty b-sides and bonus cuts, my favorites being their cover of the Stones' "Paint It Black" (on the debut) and "Lake of Fools" and "War Cry" (on The Headless Children).

The Rhino Records remasters of the Ramones catalog are also packed to the gills with demos, b-sides, live versions and other goodies.

You mentioned the 2 that I was coming to mention.

The Ramones reissues are among my favorite and some of the only that I really consider essential. Some of the albums have near as many demos/b-sides as actual LP tunes, and many are not just demo version of album tracks.

The WASP are excellent as well.

Bruce Springsteen's Tracks box set is essential too. And Alice Cooper's Life and Crimes (which includes the hits, but a ton of otherwise harder to come by stuff) is as well.

That's a great one.



I thought Dokken's Lightning Strikes Again was a really strong album, but one of the best songs was a Japanese bonus track:

I really liked the iTunes bonus track for Monster too:

My favorites from WS are the studio additions to the Live in the Shadow of the Blues album:

Sonic Syndicate's "We Rule The Night" had an excellent bonus track "Heart of Eve"

Love all the bonus tracks from the Megadeth re-issues like "Crown Of Worms".

Here's a few off the top o' my head:




(Far superior than the album version, in my opinion.)







That Leppard track is killer!

Awesome track.
