The band members don't have to be into the technology. The people who decide these things at the record company know what is being offered as extras on other artists releases. It also seems from interviews from some of the band members that they're well aware of what is going on in the industry and what is being offered to fans of older and younger artists. I'd be shocked if Stevie and Mick didn't know.
I understand Jamie's point and we have gotten a lot in the past few years but it's always another way to package the same old thing. Instead of releasing the VBOFM as a remastered cd with bonuses like The Eagles did with their VBO, FM decided to milk it one more time and give us the same tracks over and over again with poor quality sound and the only extras were the bonus clips to wet our appetite for SYW. Can it really be surprising that the remasters so sold poorly when a good casual fan who has most of their cds or the GH then bought the VBO double cd.... finally said no to buying the same songs once again.
Does anyone remember when the Dance came out and we actually got the Best Buy cd package for free. Free new songs, free new interviews, nice packaging. Someone must have been asleep when that decision was made.
