upon finding this on napster, I have to wonder why the hell this was never released in this form??????

While the other had a slight Tom Petty "Dont come around here no more" feel to it, this studio version has more of a quiet tone of the dark of the night to it that I much prefer.

Oh what production can do to songs! When was this thing originally recorded? And I wonder who found it to post it?

Suzanne, I'm sure that this studio version you refer to was released. It was coupled with You've had her on the flip side of Certain people i know.
It was also available as a one track promo (nice cover)..And yes you are right it does sound menacing.

But that doesn't count!

Here we get the live version on MEBY again, one that had already been released on two "albums" and here is this perfectly good one sitting all by itself as a flipside to a single!

Which of the two versions is "rarer"?

I like it!
 
I'm not sure which of the two are "rarer". it seems that most ppl just put "rare" on the files so ppl will DL them or something, or to feel special hehe But the released version seems a little more doctored and worked on.. so my bet would be on the "rare" one.
but yes, i agree, this "rare" varsion is far better than the album version. tho the album release is quite good, like you said already, this one is much "darker", and those of us that like that style, can really appreciate it
*lennoxx slips into her dark corner*
I, too, found that track on Napster (purely by accident), and was quite impressed with my find.

What? Are you calling me a moron?

No, I already KNEW that this was more rare than the other one. Why? Because I was under the distinct impression that it had NOT been released ANYWHERE period.

I don't know why, but I thought I read someone complaining about how the studio never gave this song a proper release which i took to mean that it was sitting in a vault somewhere. Never once seeing the light of day, and was a rumored song to have existed.

So, when I read "rare" version, I took it that someone had a pressing of it like "bed took fire"

Ugh! Speak English!

Do you mean that the b-side studio version is not the same one I found on napster?

Well, I'm glad I figured out how to use napster.

And you know what? After using the software, I don't understand how a record company can sue anyone for this. All it is is a software. The files are stored on people's computers, and not on the napster database.

All napster does is give the medium where people can search through other people's computers looking for files. If the record companies want to be technical, they should sue the people who download files onto their computer and allow people to access them, but they don't!

This thing is pure bull @#!!! and I wonder if Metallica has ever used the software to understand what it is.

I mean, because of this, I want to go out and buy CDs from the pogues. I've heard of them, but they don't get played on the radio, so how am I supposed to know what they really sound like?

I also downloaded something from Sack, and after listening to it, concluded they sounded frighteningly like the Smoking Popes. Matter of fact, it sounds like they hijacked their lead singer.
 
nonono! i'm sorry, i didnt mean to make it seem like i thought you were a moron! i'm so sorry!!
i was basicially agreeing with you that this one is much better, and i thought you were asking which one was more rare than the other..
sorry for any misunderstanding.. geez i feel bad..

i was being a bit fascetious

No. I know which one was more rare. I thought you were having a laugh that I was suckered into thinking that this person had an exclusive version of this song so I would download it.
