Dan #2 Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 Well, it's come to my attention there was a fourth B-Side from WLRARR. i never even knew City of Millions existed until this morning!! Anyone know why it's so unpopular? does it suck? how come the lyrics aren't in the Lyrics Section?
cavalier_eternal Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 i haven't heard a single b-side from wlrrr. somebody, please save me. i am severely lacking b-sides and demos.
no yu begin wher i end Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 I believe that "Dusk", "Can't Get Shot In The Back If You Don't Run" and "Annabelle" can all be found in the store.
a girl called catastrophe Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 are you sure that it was a b-side from WLRRR? because when i went to sound check in montreal during the avalanche tour, he played it there, but i guess that doesnt necessarily mean that it was a b-side from avalanche... does anyone have a copy of this, or even the lyrics for it? i have been searching everywhere for it.
Broken Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 What the shit are you all talking about? City Of Millions? Do you mean Big City Life?
Dan #2 Posted December 24, 2004 Author Posted December 24, 2004 What the shit are you all talking about? City Of Millions? Do you mean Big City Life? Possibly, that makes a lot of sense actually look here, a few lines down it says Cuts/BSides, and lists City of Millions. http://www.nearfantastica.com/albums/wlrrr/
NationofCool Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 this is VERY interesting. we need details!! who will enlighten us
a girl called catastrophe Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 all i can remember about the song was that it was a slow song, and the chorus had "city of millions" in it (obviously). it isnt big city life, but a totally different song.
Dan #2 Posted December 25, 2004 Author Posted December 25, 2004 maybe it was an original version of Big City Life...
almostcrimes Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 He played City Of Millions a few times with Empty Road early on in the Avalanche tour...but I've never heard it myself.
Dan #2 Posted December 25, 2004 Author Posted December 25, 2004 Oh boy, now i'm excited!! Does anyone have a copy?!?!?!
Bladeso Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 I belive that it was played in calgary once and I quoted saying "what is this now?" If anyone does come across it sent it to crusader (anton) so I can buy it
Scot Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 city of millions was the live/working title for empty road.
Jay Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Dang, I was hoping it was a pseudo-secret song.
Ghetto rocker princess Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 i don't think that city of millions and empty road are the same song though....city of millions was really really slow...empty road has a BIT of an upbeatness to it...at the montreal sound check it sounded different at least...but who knows
Bladeso Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I have to agree I belive that there is enough force behind it that people belive that it is two different songs.
OWJeeves Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 It's a different song and it was only played lived once or twice. That's what Rich told me ages ago. It was cut, obviously.
Scot Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 i talked to matt outside the drink during the avalnche tour when they first played it, and he told me that they were calling it city of millions until the album came out when they were going to rename it empty road.
HoboFactory Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Such contrasting titles for one song, City of Millions, and Empty Road.
Dan #2 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 hmm, maybe a mod should change the list of bsides in WLRARR if it's only Empty Road.. i must admit, i'm very disapointed
