Well, that really DOES take the biscuit.
So, as a loyal TS fan who buys product as soon as it comes out, I'm getting penalised in favour of the (can we even call them fans???) people who don't buy straight away!??

I'm not going to blame the band as it may not have been their fault/idea, I'll blame the record company who have decided to do it this way.
But as a loyal fan I shouldn't be expected to think "shall I buy the release on Monday when it comes out, or should I wait 12 months in the hope that a boxset is released (because it doesn't always happen you know!) with extra material?"
This kind of crap doesn't exactly tempt fans to buy product on initial release does it, and if fans don't buy on initial release then the record companies aren't inclined to release any more product, so the FANS get shafted either way!

It's about time the god damn record companies started being loyal to the hardcore fans who buy straight away and not those who wait to buy cheap in a sale 12 months later only to find they can then buy a boxset of those items with extra content!

You know. Is there ANYBODY on this forum who considers themselves a hardcore Twisted Sister fan and hasn't been and bought all the DVDs and remasters this year?
I'm a stay at home Dad with a 13 month old child, so I don't work and don't get state handouts and I've damn well scrimped and saved to get enough money together to buy this years stuff on initial release because I'm a FAN.
Seems I should have saved my hard-acquired money and waited.

If what Jay Jay says is true and the bonus disc WILL be released on it's own in December 2012, then at least that's progress compared to lots of other companies who don't do that.
The only downside is that this situation will simply encourage bootlegging and downloads of the bonus disc.
I'll certainly be looking out for a free download/bootleg, but me being a stupid fan will still buy it next year when it comes out on it's own. How many other people will do that though? Not many you can bet.


i consider myself a hardcore fan and the only thing i've purchased by TS this year is the new version of UNDER THE BLADE and i traded in my old spitfire version because i have limited cd space and i wanted the original SECRET mix more. that being said i'll buy the 2 dvd set that was released this summer soon but there is a lot of new music coming out by other bands too. i own the older spitfire reissues of every album, big hits, the new under the blade, club daze 1 and 2, live at hammersmith, live at astoria, live at wacken dualdisc version, twisted x-mas, video years dvd, still hungry, stay hungry 25th anniversary and the twisted x-mas dvd. if thats not enough i own axes 2 axes, both widowmaker albums, never let the bastards wear you down, dee sniders SMF's live and the desperado album the old 1996 expensive version on destroyer records.

that being said no one is forcing me to buy anything and i usually don't buy remasters just for an improvement in sound. the new remasters have the same bonus tracks as the older ones and i am happy with what i have.

sorry like jay jay said no need to get all angry because a record label put something in the bands contract about an exclusive dvd for a boxset. happens all the time and i own 1200+ cd's and boxsets so i know sometimes the record label screws the fans but oh well
