But wasn't Live just a live version of their greatest hits? really!

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

It was.........

But this is an oppurtunity for them to release rare material that was well received live (ie Trapeze). They did it with Nirvana (You Know You're Right), so I don't see why OLP can't. If they don't release some b-sides/covers, I see little point in making it.

I think he meant that the studio version of Whatever will be on it, along with all the albums' singles... meaning, Whatever will be there, too, but it's not on any albums so it has to be mentioned seperately...

That's what you meant, right? (Say "yes", it'll make you sound smarter. :lol:)

I really don't care any more. If it's got B-Sides and stuff, I'll probably get it. Otherwise, definately not.


spiritualmachines.net. At this point, it's only a rumor, because I have yet to hear of a source of confirmation.


Yeah, I couldn't help but notice that there's no source, just someone saying "It's confirmed!". And that same someone still thinks Raine is in the Avril video, and even got it reported on BBC radio.

Great source for info, that board. :roll: :P

Speaking of which, I wonder if there's a "Golden Wang" in the Honk Kong phone book.

Or any other phone book, for that matter.

The greatest hits will probably be like Live in the sense that it's all songs I have, except for one or two new ones, so I'll have to buy it to get those :(
I just wanna get out,

Why does it matter?

Here's the deal. You want a greatest hits album? Just pick your three-four favorite songs off each album, rip them onto your computer, then burn it onto a cd. Then you will have a greatest hits album, with no cost.

This is OLP we're talking about. Do you think there's any chance in hell they'd put rare songs on an album? Give me a break. That's like Nickelback releasing a respectable album.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Actually, that is exactly what i meant...they will actually put it on their own record and not just on a soundtrack...i have the studio version too....and raine even said that it was just a demo, but they wanted it fast so they just gave them that....maybe they will redo it!
Is there something good, something more?
Is there anything worth dying for?

So... You would say that they are unreliable?

The point is that without a source, and from a small board that seems to have some other backward information, I wouldn't get to excited yet.
