I'm actually looking forward to those Burzum re-recordings. Should be interesting. I've never understood the hate when a band decides to re-record old material: the old material isn't going away, you can still listen to it. In this case, Varg isn't redoing the old albums, he's picking out his favorites, re-recording them, and repackaging them into a new album.
Obviously the guy needs money. He's got a wife and a kid, plus I'm sure he still owes a lot of money to the state for his church burning antics.
