HoboFactory Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Empty Road (acoustic) is just taken from a video of Matt recording the song in the studio. I'm pretty sure it was called Empty Road at that point.
Dan #2 Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 a song that wasn't included on any official release, like Can't Get Shot, or All Together. Hmm, does MG have an email? we could ask him about City of Millions..
glassjaw Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 scot is very correct, I was at that show as well. Matt played it by himself as the last song of the night I do believe, and he played it really really slowly.
jeenyus Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Ok, 2 thoughts. You saw Matt after the show at the Drink. What city was that in. Secondly he didn't play City of Millions in Calgary. Trust ME on that one.
Scot Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) he played it on april 8th 2003 at the drink in london ontario. it was the last song played by matt on acoustic guitar and was titled city of millions before being retitled empty road. Edited January 4, 2005 by Scot
jeenyus Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 OK, that makes sense. I was thinking you were refering to the drink in Calgary and he didn't even play there. I am always on the hunt for straight BS posting and ill informed crap. You however have validated your stuff and for this I commend you. Cheers
Scot Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) nods. i don't usually post info in this forum unless i'm 100% sure. Edited January 4, 2005 by Scot
glassjaw Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 and this thread is now closed, at least, it should be
jeenyus Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Expalin to me how it is that this thread is closed. First off, I have yet to see anything definte with regards to the inital inquiry. Secondly, why would you care. There are plenty of threads that I could give shit about, does that mean I can go ahead and pronounce them closed. Do you know what City of Millions is, or where it can be found. If not then perhaps you should keep reading or if you don't care then go read something else.
derek. Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) i know this is abit out dated but city of millions and empty roads are most definatly not the same song. during the avalanche tour i was at the sound check in winnipeg (april 2 2003 at the colosseum) and he played city of millions during that. then during the show that night he closed with empty roads. empty roads is written down on the set list as "audible???". i know cause im looking at it right now.

mikeymackinon Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 http://www.49music.net/ytts/info.html does anyone have a copy of this song, let's share the wealth
rockstar Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 First of all, to explain a b-side - they are songs that are studio recorded or released with A-sides (or singles), so I wouldnt classify this, or any of the other demos as b-sides. (That was for the person who asked). Second, there is is only one way to solve this.... We must find bootlegs of this song!
no yu begin wher i end Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 City Of Millions - Performed live once. Never recorded. Not the same song as Empty Road. From the same site mikeymackinon linked to.
sockcrotch Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 On the subject of unreleased songs, are there any copies of Should've Been A Supervillain or Villain of the Year out there... anywhere?
no yu begin wher i end Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Should've Been A Supervillain - Lyrics posted in manifesto. Never recorded (intended for Underdogs). Villain of the Year - Never recorded. Lyrics included those added to the extended version of Symbolistic White Walls.
no yu begin wher i end Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Read the damn page. It was never recorded. ;) 5678
