When I bought Rob Zombie's Greatest Hits CD I had no idea there where 2 versions available: Clean & Explicit.

Of course I picked the Clean edition when I ordered it at some German site, because they didn't care to mention or show the explicit one.

Imagine my face listening to his song "Pussy Liquor" edited ...
What an awful experience that was :blat

Anyways, I throwed that disc in the trash (kept the CD Cover & DVD that came with it) and bought the unedited one.

Another CLEAN VERSION CD I recently bought (without knowing that a explicit one was out there also): TRAPT.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I do most of my CD shopping in stores. Thankfully, my city has several that are not part of big chain stores, no clean versions there. But, that would suck.

CLEAN?

What the HELL kinda censorship crap is that? That's awful! That stinks, man. Broadcast radio and TV does the same here, but the only time I've heard of clean movies being sold, was some madcap mormon video rental business that supposedly removed offending materials from movies, and ended up pre-emptively suing a bunch of big Hollywood directors to stop them from stopping them from destroying their copyrighted work (I guess Spielberg insists on doing that personally).

I just saw a little thing the other day, about the Kris Kristofferson song "Sunday Morning Coming Down," that Johnny Cash performed on live TV... They had insisted he couldn't use the phrase "Lord, I wish that I was stoned" but rather sing "Lord, I was that I was home" instead... But Cash decided, screw them, that would ruin the meaning of the song, so he shocked everyone and went ahead and sang it the way it was ment to be -- and everyone now agreed that had he not done that, Kris Kristofferson may never achieved the recognition he has today.

Mel Brooks HATES the broadcast version of Blazing Saddles.

At least the broadcast version of Scarface is funny: "This town is just like a chicken, waiting to get plucked" wahah.

Grumph.

They never did resolve that, the studios ARE countersuing them. It's one of these suits that will drag on for years with nothing actually happening.

The first time I purchased Madonna's Erotica album, which was on cassette, I accidently bought the "clean" version as it was the only version out and wasn't marked as so. How I know this was the clean version was years later when purchasing on cd and saw both versions. Annoyed at the idea of missing something from an album I'd listened to for so long, I buy the "unclean" version... and turns out the only differences was an added track with some white boy rapping to the beat of one of the songs, lol not that I'd prefer Madonna herself rapping, but that could've been an interesting remix or something :p
