Where can I find the demo version? I don’t think I’ve ever heard it.Gern Blansten said:
that's funny...I had a similar conversation with my daughter (23) about the album. She loves the Fixer....I've always despised it but I do like the demo version. I think the song that is on the record is drastically different than Matt intended.on2legs said:Inspired by this thread… I put Backspacer on in the car while driving my 14 year old daughter to basketball practice tonight. When The Fixer came on the following conversation was had:
Her: Oooh… I like this song.
Me: Really? (She has never said she liked a PJ song despite hearing them hundreds of times)
Her: Yeah… it’s good.Me: You should add it to your playlist.
Her: Well… I don’t like it that much. I meant it was good for your music.
Me:
True story.

How can a demo by a member of a huge rockband in 2007 sound so, "cassette tape recording something a room away in 1970"Gern Blansten said:on2legs said:
