Black Rain Tour Edition

For those holding out, or pissed off at the cardboard version that came out earlier this year, I just picked up the "Tour Edition" from Wal Mart.

It has the normal album plus a 6 track bonus CD.

1. I Don't Wanna Stop [Live]
2. Not Going Away [Live]
3. Here For You [Live]
4. Nightmare
5. Can't Save You
6. Love To Hate

I'd already had 4 and 5 on my Japanese editon, which I suppose i'll just trade off now.

Probably good to release a deluxe edition with the new live tracks then yet another live album.

Can't say the live tracks are nearly as good as the studio versions tho, Ozzy's voice wasen't editted at all and his voice really doesn't fit the music. Zakk would of sounded better singing over these songs.

Cannot bring myself to buy ANOTHER version of this CD. I hate this new fad of releasing a new CD only to release another version with bonus tracks months later.

I was surprised, that the American releases were on those crappy card-board sleeves...They were released in the normal cases in Europe...

How many versions do you have now? 12?

Rereleases haven't bothered me, because I just trade off my original copies on lala.

I've seen at least 3 different versions in stores, cardboard crap, regular with jewelcase and this new tour edition.

The studio bonus tracks are worth it tho Scott, they're better then the whole album.

I imported my original copy from Japan because I refused to buy that cardboard bullcrap/.

I have two copies, the original cardboard American release and the European version in the jewel case.

I'm not a fan of constant re-releases either, but I hate that crappy cardboard version I have now. I'd pick this up if I could find a used, cheap copy.

I got the tour edition this week to replace my crappy carboard version. The bonus tracks are indeed better than most of the tracks on the actual album. I will keep the crappy cardboard version just to remind me of how much I loathe Sharon Osbourne.

Part of the reason I don't wan't to buy the new version is because of my dislike for her. I can't stand giving her another nickel.

I don't have any Black Rain CD yet I'd maybe trade for a Euro/Japanese/tour one otherwise wait until I find the US version in the used discount bin.

Then again at the rate this release is going I should wait for the Super Ultimate Awesome-O Edition Ft. the orignal album, the remastered album, a live disc, a B-sides disc, and a DVD with the making of/reheasals and music videos.
