Digital Dad Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Since we all know Rush has no true B sides (unless you count You Cant Fight It) and other bands do what are some good ones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Remember, there's a live version of "Vital Signs" that was the b-side of "New World Man". Why it wasn't included in a re-release of Exit... Stage Left, I'll never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Nightwish and Lacuna Coil are two of the best bands for B-sides. I wouldn't mind a full list of Iron Maiden b-sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hey Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin is the best one that comes to my mind right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hey Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin is the best one that comes to my mind right now. That song became such a classic rock radio staple that sometimes I forget it was a b-side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 My favourite b-side ever might just be Nightwish's While Your Lips Are Still Red. I love this song, and the major highlight of the latest tour is them spotlighting it at nearly every concert, even though it dates back to 2007! The fans love the song. It was a thrill!

ReRushed Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 "I Am the Walrus" was a b-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 "I Am the Walrus" was a b-side. True but it was also an album track. I didn't want to be the one to say this, because I cannot remember if it was on the MMT when it was just an EP or if it was put onto the extended album tracklist that became the official album in the seventies (if my memory serves me correctly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) It wasn't going to be on the album, as everyone except Peter and Ezrin hated it ..... Even Casablanca president Neil Bogart hated it, as he thought it was an inside joke directed at his then wife Beth As you can see here, it was labeled as "Side A and Side A" after Beth took off on certain radio stations Side A http://s26.postimg.org/ekvj5kx6h/kiss_detroit_rock_city_1976_3.jpg Side B http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/96906f2a2bc1177bd358d58035286e67/3006735.jpg Edited April 10, 2016 by Lucas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) The Darkness "Best Of Me" ... a true B Side as it was never on an album Could actually be my favorite song from them Not to be confused with THIS ( even though the riff is basically the same ) Edited April 10, 2016 by Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Maiden also covered I've Got The Fire (Montrose) for Piece of Mind. And it's also amazing. There's an album called Best of the B Sides collecting Maiden's, which is better than most bands' greatest hits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandDesigner Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The Cure and The Smashing Pumpkins come to mind. The Pumpkins recorded 56 songs for their Mellon Collie album and only used 28 of them on the actual album. The b-sides from that album are extremely good and it's crazy how many great songs were left off the official album. Luckily Billy Corgan realizes they're great and regularly plays his band's b-sides along with regular album tracks. Every album between Gish and Machina 2 had a bunch of solid extra tracks, but now that his inspiration is dwindling, b-sides are pretty rare. Lonely Is The Name is the last really good one I can remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Katatonia over the years have had songs that were written and/or recorded for albums but subsequently were left out or unfinished in time for the album proper. Which is a shame cause some of their B-sides are ironically better than half the songs, particularly the ones during The Great Cold Distance era. This is one fine example, and I'm fortunate enough to be at the show where they premiered this song live in American soil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry77WWPUmPs&nohtml5=False Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
