The Fragile - the ULTIMATE re-issue

**sheepdean** · 12-12-2011, 01:00 PM

I believe he relapsed during Fragility 1.0, but was clean during recording. But only Trent knows, so I think speculation is a bit pointless?

**seasonsinthesky** · 12-12-2011, 02:13 PM

i don't think TR has ever been on a lot of substances while making records, from the interviews i've read. plus, let's not forget the classic answer from Bob Ezrin (right?) on the ETS of old — he set this particular record straight.

I'm on it!

oh, please take addictions out of equation, because i didn't mean it in the first place. let's switch to other things.
i did this drawing the other day, thinking $50 would be a bargain for such version of the reissue

**cheddamash** · 12-13-2011, 01:48 AM

Hehehe. I have too much time on my hands.

**Malechite** · 12-13-2011, 01:52 AM

Hahaha. "27 remixes of starfuckers"

I LOL'd

**sheepdean** · 12-13-2011, 01:52 AM

I'm guessing it will come in a hardback book style case, like Ghosts and TGWTDT, for the uberdeluxe.
Although a super digipak would be hilarious

**Big Fat Matt** · 12-13-2011, 02:21 AM

it would have to have an instructional DVD on how to properly open and close the digipak

**seasonsinthesky** · 12-13-2011, 06:16 AM

**dzaver** · 12-13-2011, 08:40 AM

loving the Holy Shit Fragile Edition + instructional DVD

I hope it goes without saying that addiction is a stubborn problem to kick. The recovery/relapse cycle is not uncommon.

this is utter speculation, but you can't live in NOLA and not get fucked up. I'm sure he's a workaholic and all that jazz, but I'm sure he had a few binges in NOLA. Otherwise, what's the point? For god's sake, the studio was right across the street from a bar.

**richardp** · 12-13-2011, 03:05 PM

This page is easily the best page on ETS right now. So much win.

**butter_hole** · 12-13-2011, 04:34 PM

I would love for it to actually be called the HOLY SHIT edition, even if it's just another name for Super Deluxe or whatever

And the album cover would be some blurry photo taken of Rob of some unknown hand doing something on some unknown piece of equipment with blurred lyrics and track listings in the foreground.

Ha, I'm glad others can appreciate my nonsense. Btw, thanks to Ben for the original artwork. I didnt mean to steal the limelight. I do like your packaging and think a quad-folding design is a good idea. Then again, there wouldn't be any room for steak gift certificates. :/

I would quit college to pay for that.

my challenge for 2012 will be to expand my hifi stereo systeem into a hifi 5.1 systeem for sure

So, what are we realistically expecting/hoping from it? What I can think of that might be in it is:
Whole album remastered, including Appendage and the vinyl-only tracks
5.1 BD
TFA plus extra bits, or minus extra bits.
Maybe The Perfect Drug and Deep on an album at last? I know TPD is TDS era, but it's not on TDS DE, so...
All the videos (including TDTWWA)
Some kind of book detailing the art in full, possibly including all the excerpts previously published, and maybe unused art.
Vinyl. Dear God there had better be vinyl.
Multitracks if Interscope aren't total cunts
Maybe Still or AATCHB, to make it an "era" boxset.
$300 minimum price tag for the LE

**kevinbeetle** · 12-13-2011, 07:47 PM

i would easily pay $400 for the signed deluxe version of this

i'd recommend a Yamaha surround receiver from the RX-V series, and pretty much anything but Bose speakers. (i do a/v work for a living).

That I think is more ideal. Plus, a DVD/Blu-Ray of The Fragile-related specials the band made for MTV including the special for And All That Could Have Been. I would also like to see a retrospective documentary featuring interviews with the people involved in the making of the album and special liner notes about the brilliance of that album. It should be written by someone that is a fan of the band and loves this album. Could be some musician or a legit music historian. Hell, I'll write an essay about the album.

I certainly know that I'd definitely love to read it, as I've found this review to be a very good read a while back.

That's my review. I'm likely to move that or write a new one as I no longer write for that piece of shit site. Yet, I did manage to release the first of my many essays on my Favorite Albums starting with http://thevoidgoround.blogspot.com/2...-loveless.html

I'm going to write one on Year Zero for the spring of 2012 to celebrate its fifth anniversary.
