Look at all the fan boi types coming out to defend the band's gouging of the real fans.

 

What makes you qualified to determine the "real fan" from a "fan boi type"?

:sigh: Too true, Narps. :eh:

 

I love you guys.

 

We can at least take to heart life's lessons and your many pearls of wisdom. Most of my dearest friends are above the ages of fifty, and I wish they were as young outside as they are on the inside.

 

Not that being young is equal to having perfect health: see me as one example of how not to be at 24!

I think I'm confident enough in myself as a fan not to buy every edition of every recording in every format ever made several times over. After a while, it starts getting kind of weird.

 

It's funny...I used to be that way for a very long time. I felt I needed to have EVERYTHING that Rush released.

 

For example...when S&A was released, I had already pre-ordered the MVI and Vinyl versions of S&A on Backstage Club. I then went to the music store on release day and bought a copy of the album anyways. Then, to top it off...I was in Europe that summer and came across S&A, only they had it in the hard plastic case (rather than the crappy cardboard case), so I bought it JUST for the case. LOL

 

So...that's four different versions of S&A...mainly "just because".

 

In recent years...I've cooled off with buying so much. There came a point when I had to start using logic and watching my spending more.

You are a good man Charlie Brown. Just waiting for your writers block to dissipate in your other thread... :cheers:

This^^^ is what I meant regarding age, wisdom and responsability... Edited by Narpski

Oh...me too. Although I must say I don't look nearly as bad as most my age. I put it down to all that drinking I once did. Must have acted as a preservative. :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :cheers:

The only band i ever went overboard on was the Beatles......bought it all. Then Stopped cause i scared the shit outta myself, lol. So i sold a ton of stuff.....mostly retread stuff and now i don't go overboard collecting . When it comes to bands now. I have ONE version of albums unless they really offer something Special. And.....if i have albums with bonus tracks. Only the proper album tracks are on my itunes. Yea i scaled back since my teens, lol Oh and i got rid of VT remixed last month. One version of a shitty album is enough.

the "every other band does this" comments are a bit silly. is this the usual arena rock bubble effect again? because, man, the only bands I see rereleasing their own shit and charging you double are superstars who have enough money already. that's hardly every other band.

Somehow I never got bit by that bug. I remember seeing Through Time in the record bin back in the late 70s. I picked it up thinking I'd somehow missed the newest release only to discover it was just a goddamn compilation.

If you don't like it, then just don't buy it, no one is holding a gun to your head...

 

I know I will buy it anyway, thats for sure! I have already pre-ordered the bluray box set from Rush website!

Geddy himself didn't get a free copy? :eh:

 

Afraid not, I have to buy them as well. :(

You should at least get 1/3 off the price.

I tried, but Neil and Alex refuse to give it to me cheaper...

Neil's got to pay for all that McCallan, and Alex...he's always been a jerk.
