Jon Benjamin Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 WMUWSE is the same just sloppier and more raw. The ending swelling notes go on a little longer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I was expecting something else with these demos. They sound better than some finished material out there. I hope the unknown tracks are totally new songs, otherwise it's not worth all the amount of money on the boxset 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezirath270 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 If majority of the american idiot demos sounded like 95% same as the studio album then it's not worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie1039 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I think it’s definitely worth it. I like the demos, Tokyo show (one of the best sounding shows imo), storytellers (same for this one), heart like a handgrenade (never bought it), and the shiny new documentary awaiting us. Oh yeahhh. Both of those live shows sound better than bullet in a Bible imo 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatherotti Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 That WMUWSE demo sounds more like something off Warning. Nasally Warning era Billie. I love it 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JardyOfSuburbia Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I will say, as someone who collects just about everything they've put out, it does kind of stink having about 90% of this set already. Didn't stop me from ordering the deluxe bundle, but still. It is neat to hear these demos, but I hope some of the others are drastically different. It is interesting how the WMUWSE demo doesn't have the lyric about Billie's dad in it. 1 hour ago, fatherotti said: That WMUWSE demo sounds more like something off Warning.

I can hardly believe the lyrics about his dad aren’t in this, it’s still a great song but those additional lyrics really make a difference imo! I feel that change really elevates the song. I’m stunned it’s not there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted September 6 Popular Post Share Posted September 6 I just wish we had an acoustic demo of this song. I want to hear it raw on a single guitar when he first wrote it, not a full band version ready to record. That’s what’s cool about demos, hearing the evolution of the song. This is mostly there already apart from the lyrics. I want acoustic demos of everything 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Ngl i'm here for the new songs. The demos sound quite similar. Governator is literally a song from The Network 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 WMUWSE's demo isn't as good as Holiday/BOBD's imo. That version of the songs, even if it's very similar to the final product, seems like a version of those songs that I could see myself preferring over the album version. But still interesting to hear the new WMUWSE demo even if it's definitely not as good as the final product. The line about Billie's dad not being there also surprised me, would have assumed that was there from the start. It's ok to be disappointed that these demos aren't more different but remember the band can only take what they have, there's probably a limited amount of demos that are decent enough quality to be released. I'd probably expect some of the non-single demos to be somewhat different from their final versions but it also makes sense for the band to be releasing the demos for the big singles first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it's probably originally because he might have thought it too raw to keep performing it with the lyrics about his dad but eventually it just wasn't potent enough without? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they this week they were releasing demos/live version only for songs we already know, I thought it'd be safe to keep on reading this thread without any spoilers. Clearly, I was wrong 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not surprised. They started working on AI in 2001, according to Billie on the audiobook. This one in particular though I feel has been in his pocket for ages probably. Probably pre dates Warning even. Just my thoughts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
