The B-Sides/Obscure Song Database
 

Hope this helps everyone :))

And this also answers the frequently asked question: "Where can I find it?"

If any video that is not mine gets deleted Ill replace it by sending a Pm to an admin with the new YT code

You REALLY seem to have a LOT of time on your hands!! http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

Thanks none the less. ;-)

The irony of "If you dont have a record player (most people don't), you'll never be able to listen to it." followed by a youtube video of the same song isn't lost on me. A few additions though:

• Once Upon A Time / Hello are also available on the "Michigan Mixture Vol. 1" LP.
• More Then you Deserve / Presence of the Lord did pop up on eBay every now and then when I was looking for a copy. There's at least one obscure 3CD set that includes both tracks, but those had some guitar/bass/drum parts added, so buyer beware.
• Lost Love - the "If You Really Want To" maxi and picture discs aren't that rare. The Australian Hits out of Hell can be tricky.
• Thrashin' - You can quite easily pick up a copy of the DVD (R1 only, though) which contains the song. A part is played over the opening sequence, and another part over the closing credits.

Also, if anyone is looking for catalognumbers for some of those releases: see my website.

I've never EVER heard of Hearts On Fire!!! I thougt I'd heard everything Meat has done! How on earth has that one slipped by me?!? I actually quite like it!

LOL @ Clap your hands. It's brilliant though...thanks Wario.

Hearts On Fire is better than most of Meat's 80's stuff. Crap, crap, crap your hands is a terrible song.

It is a "get up and dance" song that he sings very very well. It's done something for me anyway because I love it. Reminds me of something Elvis would sing.

Thanks Wario, i don't know how you find the time ! Do you actually sleep ? ;)

I prefer Pearls version of Whore.

:twisted: How about RPM and Take A Number? :wink:

:twisted: Thinking about this thread, if none of the other staff members have any objections, I think this is worth sticking :up:

I think there are a couple of songs missing though.

No thanks, if it's all the same to you. :cool:
Until the Youtube videos get taken down, then it won't be quite so good.

:twisted: Maybe they will, maybe they won't :shrug:
But even without the youtube vids I think it's a good sorce of information to new fans (or even older fans) who are not aware of all the rare songs or where to find them.

I can't see anyone getting their knickers in a twist over these videos on you tube. Maybe the Ted Nugent ones but certainly not the others.

Is it only me or have all the replies vanished?

Yet you enjoyed typing it so much you did it twice?

I forgot a few songs. neil is gonna work some magic...

:twisted::nope:
You were replying to a duplicate thread that had been set up to add a few more songs to the list.

Magic worked :up:

The updated post with more songs in (thread 2 post 1) has been copied and pasted into thread 1 post 1.

Then the threads were merged and T2P1 was deleted, leaving this nice tidy thread :mrgreen:

I did ask Chris to put the songs in cronological order :bleh: but I can see there are still a couple out of order, so i'll get onto that.

If anyone else sees a song that should be on the list PM myself or any other staff member and we'll add the info :up:

I was the one who uploaded that version of Let It Be, for the record.

:twisted: Done :up:
All songs are now in order they were released (hopefully :pray: )

I have Let It Be, i love Meats version, never liked The Beatles singing it.

When you look through the list of videos that Wario posted above you could classify the ones from "Once upon a time" down to "Let it be" as rare..but the rest of the stuff isn't. You could make it sticky like Neil said. I'm sure a lot of fans never heard any of the stuff posted above

It already has been made sticky and it is noted by each video how rare it is, or not. It's supposed to be obscure songs and B-sides. Which it is.

How about an extention with remixes and single edits?

:twisted: Sounds like a whole new thread, so feel free to set it up :up:

Wouldn't been keen on the single edits..but the remixes sound good to me. If someone set up a thread of fan made versions of Meat songs that would be really interesting too. But only the best ones..so that excludes Wario ;)

I feel there are others with more time on their hands who would be better suited to this task. :twisted:

i'll do that later tonight, dont worry. i have posted most of the remixes already....

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

Very interesting

Do you not have college work to be doing Mr Wario?

Thats why Im gonna do it later tonight....

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

You should be dedicated to your college work. People who care about it fall asleep at their studies. :zzz:

Im not a person. Imma beef.

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

and I'm the fries on the side.

And I'm the guy asking you to keep an excellent thread on topic please

Gladly. and Thats the first time you ever said that Michael about one of my topics!
:D

As such, though I have forgotten the Way You Do The Things you Do.

Hidden is the code for it :

Wario you made my day the second you posted the "clap your hands" video, I can't stop listening to it. The rest are good, but that's gold man. I nearly know the lyrics off by heart already. I'm hoping Meat Loaf will stumble across this thread, and do "clap your hands" at the 02.

all 10 of them???

Yeah :lmao: and I'll have you know that's an achievement for me. If I can learn one new word a day it's a miracle. Do you like "clap your hands" dukey boy?

clap yer hands clap yer hands, stamp yer feet stamp yer feet?

lose yourself inside the beat, hear the thump inside you head, it's time to move just like I said...clap your hands....clap your hands

:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

its nice to see the video links are back :))

Meat Loaf should team up with The Wiggles and do a new version of Clap Your Hands. A worldwide number 1 for sure.:D

More like a worldwide number two.

If you live in Australia, the "Hits out of Hell" CD with "Lost love" has been on the shelves for 20 years. It's only now that the remastered version (which doesn't contain the track) has been released that it's not as common. But before that, it was as easy as finding "Bat out of Hell" and "Bat 2" (actually from my memory it was easier than Bat 2 at times). I'd have thought it would have been more common on eBay though?

Good Lord .. mind the cobwebs ;)

For me, it was the other way around. I didn't think that "Lost love" being on the album was unusual. I now think it's unusual but that's because I found out that the other releases didn't have it. Weird. I wonder why they did that.

I just saw this thread and most of the video's are gone, then I saw the original date was 2010. :angst:

Lost Love should have been on the album. From what I've heard and read the album was a rush job by the record company to cash in on the last contract album.
For all the talent involved I personally can't believe how undone it seems when it was released. Lost Love is a taste of what it could have been.

Lost Love is better than everything else on MATLAF so I really don't understand why it was left off the album. The whole thing is only 35 minutes long, so it wasn't due to time constraints.

I wonder if that was the only song that didn't make it. What do you think of "Take a number"? Should that have been included on BA? I would have put it as the ending.

I read somewhere a long time ago that Meat had written a song called Paradise Road. That was supposed to be on there as well as a song called I Still Hear the Guns.
In the article Meat said the record company took the album away as released it as it was before they were finished.

I know this is a painfully stupid question (and probably not worth resurrecting a thread as ancient as this over), but I have to ask...what sort of quality are the studio recordings of Unsaid and Decadent Wish like? I've been hunting down decent quality versions of these two for years while also trying to avoid spending a fortune on getting them shipped from the other side of the world, but all the ones I can find online are rubbish and I'm at the point now where I can't stomach the staticy reverb anymore. The hi hats on Unsaid sound like tin foil. It's almost like each and every place you can get these from online got it from the same source, and that initial source was terrible. From what I've found, Decadent Wish is a little better than Unsaid, but it's still not fantastic.

The recordings on the CHSIB/DIST singles have to be much better, right? If I was to put them in a playlist with the other songs from the album, would I notice a difference in quality? I'm assuming they are a lot better (surely they wouldn't be officially released in bootleg quality), and that's why I think this is a stupid question, but I just find it confusing that they only seem to be available in terrible quality no matter where I look. That, and I want to be certain before I buy the listing of Unsaid that's been tempting me for the last week on eBay :lol:

CHeck my youtube or give me or EVil One a PM.

We are bound to have it

I think I need to start an official B-side collection. Where to begin? Amazon?

Nah just talk to wario nicely :)

Good morning Wario. I hear you are the man to go to for B-side and obscure recordings. Just wanted to say Hi and hope you have a fantastic day today. Something like that Tony? ;) :D

I think you could do a little better :)

Haha, okay I will work on it!

I did warn you it was a stupid question! :lol:

It's being sorted :cool:

:)

Is it possible to get an update on Post #1 please? Several of the videos are no longer available.

Many thanks, and a huge thanks for this great post. I'm loving some of these tracks :D
