So many diffrent opinions! Why did they have that many diffrent albums? There is the Red, Purple, Yellow, Blue (itunes), and the Silver! Who has what, and why? Tell us your thoughts of why they did this, or why did they HAVE TO DO IT???

and i can only think of how perhaps Billy thought that the album was inperfect without this song.. and then this one and then that one...

and then the DVD...

and i know it was so with the silver version, but maybe with others too - you could only get the silvery one in a certain store? ...perhaps then it was just a way of ...marketing. oh i don't know what that means.
but i totally doubt it that they meant us to buy each and every version. and we shouldn't.

And i hope you've got American Gothic by now! i was lucky to travel outside my country and find one in the german stores....

May i add you? ...i will try!

been thinkin bout your zeitgeist question...ive had lots of ideas why they did it cause i have an overactive imagination... first i thought it was probably because they had to do it because of the whole way the bidness has changed because of mp3's and stuff...then i thought maybe beelee was testin his fans to see how they would react to such a thing...then there is always the coolness of telling everyone which ones you have...but ive come to the conclusion that i have no clue but id say that the colors represent more than just the different versions...i just dont know what it is...no matter what now-a-dayz nobody is gonna be happy with what they do and i hope this will change ... hope you are having greatness right this second
