Following in the footsteps of Trent Reznor's Ghosts I-IV, former NIN drummer Josh Freese, has released his album in a variety of formats.

Most interestingly is that he has 11 different Deluxe Editions. From $7 for just a digital download to a $75,000 DE that includes:

Quote:
  • -Signed CD/DVD and digital download.
  • -T-shirt**
  • -Come out on tour with me for a few days.
  • -I write, record and market a 5 song EP about you and your life story.
  • -Take home any of my drumsets (only one but you can pick which one)
  • -*Take shrooms and cruise Hollywood in Danny from TOOL's Lamborgini OR we play "quarters" and then hop on the Ouija board for a while.
  • -If you have a band, I'll join it for a month....play shows, record a CD together, have a swim party, etc.... or none of the above. We could also just sit in yer basement and jam old Van Halen. OR
  • If you don't have a band I'll be your personal assistant for a month (4 day work weeks....10 am to 5 pm) and then we take a limo down to Tijuana and I'll show you how it's done (what that means I can't legally get into here, right this minute). If you don't live in LA but are in the USA I will come to you and be your personal assistant/cabana boy for 2 weeks.
  • -Take a Flying Trapeze lesson together in the San Fernando Valley and then Robin from NIN and his wife make us raw lasagna.

The $50 version, which isn't limited to a certain number of copies, includes a 5 minute phone call from Josh himself, where you can ask him anything you want.

Pretty innovative stuff. Hopefully more artists will follow suit. Obviously it won't work for HUGE artists, but for semi-popular bands this is a great idea.

BTW, I should add that this isn't BS.
