A Charge To Keep (Barlow Version- Itunes Bonus)

I went ahead and just bought the bonus track only, since I will be buying the real deal tomorrow (it's out today, but I only had a few bucks left in my bank account so I was able to buy the bonus track, don't get paid til tomorrow).  Don't know if any of yous guys are gonna buy the bonus track. I would rather have it on a real cd but so long as I can have all the IE recorded songs I will be happy even if not all are on actual IE cd's.
Dante

Yeah i have bought it to!
It's great!
Tainted Innocence

i dont see the point in making it a itunes exclusive,
unless jon just wanted more money.
The Wicked One

i think it was SPV fucking around.
and no Jon couldn't get it off of I Tunes.

Seeing as how i buy tickets from retarded ticketbastard i should be able to get A Charge to Keep free.

woot woot
Tainted Innocence

haha,burn it on a cd and send it to me then?
The Wicked One

and deal with shipping? bah. what is it a buck or 2? man up and buy it urself.
The Wicked One

ugh i hope i never have to do this shit again.
i had to download Itunes, install it. and make a fuggin account.

And after newbing out, I just bought it for 99 cents.
listening to it right now and its great...XD  Cool
paranoidmexican

The Wicked One

paranoidmexican

The Wicked One

They didn't steal ya money did they?
Stormrider

Did anyone else get a mystery charge on their credit or debit card after purchasing the song? Some damn ministry took $3.25 from my card causing an overdraft. I called my bank and they said I had to wait for more info from whoever took the money since my card wasn't actually stolen, before making any claims. It's called Oil And Wine Ministries or something like that. I as a Satanist would NEVER knowingly purchase or donate to ANY christian thing even if it was for a good cause. But I have no idea who or what they are. Now Itunes may not be responsible, but that was the only purchase I made with my card yesterday, and the ministry thing shows up roughly the same time as the Itunes purchase.

Itunes took away 11.89 Swedish Crowns instead of 9 from me!

Ive perused some of my old Amazon emails saying that the seller would be held responsible for it. that and it charges my card when its shipped.
So to my knowledge no, but to delay my CD that i had pre-ordered for more than a fucking month, they might as well and charged me more saying it was my fault... Laughing.

I'll wait a bit to see if this pans out or not then ill order it again.
The Sexiest Metalhead

It pisses me off it's an Itunes exclusive... it's fucking bullshit. What's the point of doing it? I don't believe there is one... Mad
The Wicked One

like ive said before, its probably an SPV deal pushed onto shaffer.

Itunes probably would trade heavy promotion for this or SPV came to Itunes with the proposition.

Pay the buck at Itunes or i can send you the song in an email since I already bought it. PM me your email address if you want, don't post your email in a reply unless you want folks to know it.
The Wicked One

if you don't have i-tunes already, it can be a bitch to put on but its only a buck man.

not to mention you can get other stuff like Dark Empire's new album on there.

And i totally agree. iTunes sucks. I don't want to pay to have the songs on my computter, i hate to say this but i rather download them for free if it's the only change to get them besides itunes. I buy CD's, i have more than 300 metal cd's in my collection (including all ICED EARTH, of course). When you buy the CD, you get the case and booklet (with lyrics and artwork). If you buy it from itunes, you get nothing expect the track. Also, in most cases the sound quality is much better on CD or LP Razz

I agree totally, but since I HAVE TO HAVE all the IE shit I can get, I did spend the buck to get the song. I have sent it to folks for free via email. Though I am having problems with sending it to shorty. Maybe I cant send mp3's to non American emails, i don't know. But if you want pm me your email I will send you or anyone else the song. I don't agree with how they (the record label) made it an Itunes exclusive. Like you I buy the physical cd's for not only to support the band but artwork and better sound. Since Itunes is a downloading site, why pay (besides for doing what I did just to complete my collections of IE songs). I don't think it is taking from the band. It's only one song, and if enough people DON'T buy the song from Itunes, maybe  record labels will get the hint and stop doing that. I dont know.
Shorty

Did you try to send it to Dante or 3DD13 ?
They are both in Europe, if its work there is another prob why you can't send it
Stormrider

they haven't asked (I don't think) for it. will try again later though.
Aggelos Poneros

well, you sent it to me.

Don't worry, usually i don't download anything. I support IE by buing their cd's among other stuff. They are my favorite band. I have every CD, every EP, both DVD's and two T-shirts. I don't have iTunes and im not going to get one since i probably wouldn't use it. So i downloaded the track. Not a big deal   Wink

Same here, I buy all the products I can for my fav bands (IE among them). Though I did purchase the single track from Itunes, (getting Itunes is free but you have to download it, lots of folks don't want to waste time downloading a program just for a song or two) I will "illegally" download songs if I have too. Especially if they are rare and out of print albums. Those types of albums the bands don't get any more money from anyway. And I don't want to give some "fan"  a shitload of money for a rare or out of print album, though I do buy them on ebay every now and then, but I don't bid any higher than I think it's worth to me, which often ends up in me losing the bid to some shmoe with money to splurge. I mean unless it's from my like top 5 or so fav bands (again IE is in that list) I will be happy with a downloaded version of the album if it's out of print or too expensive due to rareity to be worth the money.

I used Itunes to download the song , and it kicks ass. I prefer Matt's version because it sounds like Matt is singing from the heart which adds a dynamic to the song that Rippers version IMO lacks.

That's also why I enjoy his version more.
