Edited Music

The question of editing/censorship of music goes back to way before Wal-Mart. An example that I immediately thought of was when The Stones appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and the network censors forced them to sing the choruse of "Let's Spend the Night Together" as "Let's spend some time together". In the video footage of the show, Mick Jagger rolls his eyes several times when he sings that bit.

As to whether I have personally ever bought an edited cd, the answer is no.

Yes the edited version of Skid Row's Slave to the grind has a better song that replaces the laughable Get the F**k Out song, called Beggar's Day. I bought that one on purpose.

I have that! Didn't know it was edited, but I love Beggar's Day, so it's cool.

I only bought one once on accident, and the weird thing was, it HAD a parental advisory ticker on it, go figure. It was Judas Priests Demolition, as if the album didn't suck enough in the first place, they did this irritating thing where they warped Ripper's voice on the word and made it sound like gibberish, I sold it a week later, and have never rebought the album since.

perhaps in towns with no internet access, or US mail (you can still order from magazine ads). does such a place exist in the US?

If your argument was a solid one, why do they bother to sell cds in stores anymore?

one thing has nothing to do with the other. your original statement was "In alot of rural towns, Wal-mart is the only place you can buy music.". my argument was that there are many places to buy music. they sell cds in many places, stores, mail order catologs, internet. the argument was solid.

Has anyone here purposely bought an edited cd or album (metal or otherwise) for themselves?

I have both versions of that CD. Oddly enough, I bought the version with "Get the F**k Out" about two years ago out of a bin of bargain priced CDs at the supermarket, of all places.

Scrap censoring.......learn how to parent correctly......problem solved.

That's the version I have

For the record, I don;t buy edited CD's - it's like watching Eddie Murphy Raw on Bravo - no bleeps, but silence, whole parts of the show with now words! LOL!

I have the cd with "Get the F*&K Out" on there and used to have the other version with "Beggars' Day" on cassette tape, which I have since jettisoned.
