Billy Talent "Guitar Villain" Bonus Album Coming

Although Billy Talent's new album won't be out until July 14, they will release a special deluxe edition of the very cleverly titled Billy Talent III which they're dubbing the "Guitar Villain" version.

The two-disc version will feature the studio album disc as well as "a second disc of the album with the guitar tracks removed from the mix so you can play along," according to the band's website.

Two full size posters will also be included, with the entire album transcribed into guitar tabs. The second disc also includes four early demo versions of "Tears Into Wine," "White Sparrows," "Pocketful Of Dreams" and "Turn Your Back," which will all appear on Billy Talent III.
