RussTCB Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The entirety of Foo Fighters’ Million Dollar Demos tape leaks onlineAn early version of the band's seminal 2002 album, One By OneBY ALEX YOUNG ON AUGUST 05, 2015, 9:43AMFor Record Store Day, Foo Fighters released Songs From the Laundry Room, a 10-inch EP containing unreleased demos from the band’s 1995 debut. Now comes another opening of the vault, albeit in a much less official capacity. Recently, the entirety of what has come to be known as the Million Dollar Demos surfaced on Reddit. As the story goes, inner-band turmoil nearly forced Foo Fighters to break up whilst recording their 2002 album One By One. Ultimately, they recorded two different versions of the album, the latter of which was the one released to the public. The other version has remained unreleased, though various tracks from it have leaked over time. The Million Dollar Demos contains 11 tracks, 10 of which were considered for the album. Of those 10, three were officially released: “Tired Of You”, “Walking A Line”, and “Normal”. Two others, “Have It All” and “Come Back” later leaked online. As a Reddit posting explains: “For some reason, an anonymous Redditor made a new account, whose only post is a download link for the Million Dollar Demos. This is the first time these have been made available in their entirety to the public, and have been sought after by die-hard fans (myself included) for the last 13 years. Most of the songs are similar to their final counterparts, while other songs like ‘Come Back’ and ‘Lonely As You’ are drastically different.” Find more details on Million Dollar Demos, including a link to download, via Reddit. The link to download them off Reddit is dead, but here they are from YouTube: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguyen92 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I quite liked the demo version of Come Back. Had this harder, aggression sound to it that's very much more high-energy than the official version (that one is all right. A bit dull in the verses. Acoustic bridge was good and built well back to the chorus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Meh. I'll pass.Always felt that One By One was a sucky album. Probably the worst in their catalogue, along with Sonic Highways which was also disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dead on concerning that track as far as I'm concerned.Oh and I couldn't agree more about Sonic Highways :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Broue Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I couldn't find any open Foo Fighters thread, so might as well post this in here (sorry for off topic bumping) They are great t.r.o.l.l.s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
