So if those were management driven changes, I have to say I agree with them.
Really hope there are some good bonuses this time around. Certainly they will have some studio cuts that won't make the album that could make a great bonus CD.

This is something I hope for too. But hearing Dave say management wants him to put out a record full of unreleased songs makes me think they're banking good songs and intentionally not releasing stuff like Sugar Will, Bismarck, Death on the High Seas, etc. Why put stuff like Break For It, Singing from the Windows, and A Dream So Real on a free bonus disc when they could use them for a compilation album down the road?
I feel the same thing about the studio album remasters. After they put out Granny on Under the Table, I thought we'd get that treatment for all the albums. Imagine getting a Busted Stuff remaster with Sweet Up and Down, JTR and Monkey Man as bonus tracks? Or a Big Whiskey remaster with that Sugar Will? I feel like they stopped doing that so they can save these songs for a future compilation unfortunately.
