I watched some songs from the video above. I’m rooting for Blaze—he and his band are hardworking men. I can’t understand how he manages to make ends meet with those attendances, but I wish him all the best and good health.

For me judgament day sounded powerfull as the fast songs in the album man on the edge and edge of darkness for ex. I think this album is the most weird and it deserves his space on rhe documentary

Why the B-sides weren't included on the original album? I guess they didn't want more than 10 songs like the previous album (stronger writing for the most part compared to the previous two albums), they ticked off some them with similar songs on it and I guess they didn't fit the overall vibe, which was probably important for Steve.

It was always my understanding that the B-sides weren't included basically because they didn't fit on a single CD. Steve mentioned a lot in the press for TXF that they put as much as could fit on a CD. This was, of course, before the time the band decided eff it and put out everything that was recorded whether it fit on a single CD or not.

As for why these particular songs, I'd guess it's down to songwriting. The songs included on the album are all a little more fleshed out, a little more unique than these three short rockers. I Live My Way was the first song recorded and Steve apparently thought it was good enough to be the lead single, but no doubt as the album continued to fill out, it got pushed down until it was out.
 
I Live My Way is junk and that’s clearly an unpolished guide vocal on there, but Judgement Day and Justice of the Peace are way better than most of the dirgy depressing war songs that made the cut.

And Doctor Doctor is the best of them all. As proved by that Blaze show this week where he played every song and Doctor Doctor (and Futureal) easily got the best reactions out of anything. If you haven’t watched the whole video posted on the previous page just jump to the last two songs, the audience woke up and went nuts for Futureal and Doctor Doctor.

Agree. The songs are way better. Futureal, Clansman, When Two Worlds Collide, Lightning Strikes Twice … all great. A few lesser ones on there sure, but X Factor is a depressing dirge almost all the way through.
