The Official Unreleased Demos for Posting Thread
 

So, I thought that it would be a great idea for us to post any Mac demos of unreleased songs that we have in our collection. This way, newbies can be welcomed into the world of demos if they want it, and those Mac fans that just don't have any Mac demos can start a collection (this would be me).

So, with that, post away. Any album, any era from FM to BTM!!! Have FUN!!! Hopefully we can get some great stuff going.:nod:

Much Love,
Ethan

thanks for starting this thread off on the right foot by offering up some demos from your own collection! :p

Hey:laugh: well, I guess I'll post something..... This is from the Tango sessions, it is a Stevie song. "What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You"............

edit: I tried uploading this, and other files at yousendit, and it isn't working. I'll try later but "IN the meantime" post away people. :nod:

I think I have quite a lot of patience, and usually I can skip the stuff I don't want to read... but I'm just getting really annoyed by all this attention seeking stuff in your posts: the exclamationmark shields, the 'OFFICIAL' threads, the 'great ideas'...

Ugh.

Time for the ignore function, you've got the honour of being the first ledgie I'll use it on. Congrats, buhbye!

Look who started the thread and don't open it.

I am in no way seeking mass attention with this thread. MOST threads with unreleased demos use the exclamation point.
I guess I'll take fault in the "official" thread thing. I should've remembered that people don't like that, but I appologize.

Let's end this upcoming drama bashing party before it starts.

I don't have much to offer but I love the impromtu Mirage Era I've been loving you too long. Just got this over at Buckingham Nicks a few weeks back.Sorry I don't have more to share. In which case, I'd like other people to offer what they have. If even one person didn't have it before I posted it, then success! If everyone in the world has this and I was the last one to be excited about it, I'm out a minute of my day! Take the risk so that someone might hear a new [version of a] song!

You Send It

I'd be remiss if I didn't post Ricky because this is my treadmill groove! Though I think this is a b side release from the Tango era, it's labeled as a demo in itunes so why not.
The Combo of Fleetwood, McVie, and Buckingham never sounded better.
Yes, I hate the trite lyrics of Oh Ricky, and Tell me, Tell me, Tell me but since seeing Lindsey live this tour, I've taken to singing Oh Lindsey, won't you come out tonight!; Cause the dude is never onstage before 8:30 at most shows. If I get to go to another show, I'll be singing this to get him to come out!!! :laugh: Still love his music though!

Oh how John McVie's bass line kicks arse on this too!

If anyone has any other versions of this song, please post!

thanx

Ethan, I have nothing against you but I think what annoys people most about these posts of yours is that you start a thread expecting, sometimes even demanding people to share opinions, pictures or MP3s but rarely, if ever, offer anything yourself.

If you want people to talk about a song, first give your thoughts about it, don't just tell people to talk away. If you want people to post pictures, offer a few photos yourself first and it will inspire others to do the same.
And finally if you want people to take the time dig out their bootlegs, rip them to MP3 and then upload them to the internet you should at the very least upload a few yourself.

You seem to expect people to do things you're not willing to do yourself. And the "yousendit isn't working" excuse doesn't cut it since there are lots of upload sites out there these days. How about sendspace, megaupload, rapidshare etc... I've seen you promise to repost MP3s before and never do it.

No drama, just honest thoughts.

I'd love to get my hands on this song! Please post!

I lovee Ricky. I heard it for the first time about two months since I am pretty new to the demos/bsides thing. Christine's vocals are pretty sexy on it. Most say Brown Eye's is her sexiest song but this ranks up there IMO. I would have liked to hear this on Tango instead of You & I 2 (my least fav on Tango)

I am waiting, I am waiting, oh yeah oh yeah

I am a newbie when it comes to demos etc, but a few posters a couple of weeks ago were very gracious enough to give out many Stevie demos. So luckily I do have that song and this is actually the first time I can return the favor to someone else. As for the quality, it's not the best but there maybe one out there that is better. Enjoy :)

"What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You"

Thanx for that fellow newbie:)

Your very welcome. :)

Yo, E, Sharon and Carrie are right. You have a habit of starting threads, and then abandoning them unless someone starts "drama"... then you come back with "omgz guys no fites pls." I don't think I've ever seen you actively participate in any of the discussions you've started, maybe other than to agree with what someone else said. :shrug: That's the reason why a lot of people figure you create threads just to up your post count or get attention. Especially when you use the ! shield thing. Sharing demos isn't really an urgent matter.

I'm not trying to bully you, just sayin'. You can't be offended or surprised if your threads don't go anywhere. I don't think anyone was starting a bashing party either. We call 'em as we see 'em.

Thanks so much Dreamz19...

I'd never heard this before. I think it's better than either of her self-penned tunes on Tango...Certainly at this point in her career she sounded more confident belting rock-n-roll

i think you're the only person i've ever heard say they liked that song. :laugh: i can't take it seriously, but i'm glad someone likes it!

Oh, it's fun! It aint Rhiannon--or even Sister Honey. But I think she sounds better here than she does on WISYA or WTRS...

I really can't see What has rock and roll ever done for you fitting in on Tango. Though it's a nice enough song for Stevie Solo

What Has Rock And Roll...... Enjoy

Ooops, now I see that Rock and Roll has been posted. Here is "Blue Water". Love this song, it's emotionally charged. Hope you all enjoy!!!:nod:

You heard the whistling, right?

yeah, it was friggin hilarious, cheesy...

but I loved her confidence.

she sounds too nervous, scared on her Tango songs

I can't really say anything myself because I have downloaded these songs before, but it makes me sick to see a thread like this in this forum where JOHN MCVIE has actually posted.

Does anyone have any demo, roughs, outtakes etc. of mirage songs?
More specifically, is there any alternate off Hold me? I'd love to hear how this song came to be whatnot. Perhaps I should ask in the Cristine McVie forum?

i hear ya there.

this kind of thread just absolutely bewilders me. i don't understand

A) why a relative newbie decides that we need an OFFICIAL unreleased demos thread, when so many demos have been posted throughout this board and others over the months and years;

B) why said newbie can't simply do what we all did to find and obtain our demos, etc. that is. visit various sites, trade with other fans (hear that, ethan? trade - as in you give something to get something back), do some research, and slowly build up a collection

C) what would happen if it was actually an UNOFFICIAL thread, and what that might imply.

D) why i even bother to reply

I have a few Mirage songs... Here's a rough/outtake of Hold Me. I'll post the others later on unless someone else does. :)

Ok I am a little confused here so please bare with me in my ignorance. Is it against the rules to start a thread like this?

A month or two ago Ethan had started a similar thread in the Stevie Nicks forum asking for Stevie demos. The thread was going well and many posters were giving out demos. No one stated there was a problem. Then another older poster was gracious and kind enough to develop a thread posting all of her demos of Stevie. So I am wondering, is that against the rules? or you just personally feel these kinda threads shouldn't be started by newbies or just anyone in general? I did notice that some said Ethan does not contribute enough to the threads he starts. If that is the case I can understand why people are annoyed.

I am not trying to be rude or anything. I really wanted to know since you both seem pretty genuinely upset about it and in those other two threads there didn't seem to be an issue. I am new to demos myself so I am unaware of demo etiquette (for lack of a better term) :shrug: Before I post any other songs or ask for any I want to make sure.

Courtney, that's just the way it is. People have problems with my spunk and my personality, and call it annoying. Do I intentionally do it? NO, but some people seem to think so anyway.

Why I even continue to post when I could be focusing more on my recovery.:shrug:

Same Here. What's the story so I know what to do...

By the way, the Hold Me demo was amazing...

I have to say that the guy that wrote this post is gettin a pretty hard time. I am only at a point now where I can share songs, demos and guitar tablature. I took ages to build up my collection of odds and ends but I too started out having to ask for stuff, simply because i couldnt get it anywhere. ChiliD remember the old Turner Forum days. I dont remember ever gettin a rebound like this. anyway on we must. I will chow over this chicken salad and try to think of something to post. I already know what it is, I think.
Yes of course its going to be a Lindsey Number, my excuse for that: He was probably going to end up sharing it with the Band anyway.

That reminds me, Madness Fades.

I have some issues with the FM trading community, anyway. I started collecting 10 years ago, and at that time, everything was on cassette, vhs, and rarely cd. But it was very difficult to get started for someone who had nothing to offer, so it took a saint (like blackcat) to help me get started.

That brings about a problem. You go to all these trading pages, and people aren't interested in any sort of trade unless you have something they don't have. But they have everything in your collection. What do you do? Stop collecting? I had to.

Then mp3s came around, now torrents. And once I finally get a stable collection going, my hard drive gets stolen. Until we can find a way to get this stuff organized in somewhat of a central location.. like by era or whatever else.. I just can't do it anymore.

I still have all of my cassettes and VHS-es and all kinds of great stuff like that.. but all this really kick-ass **** that only pops up once in a blue moon is totally gone to me now. $1500 worth of stuff in my purse was stolen and it is the FM demos, rarities, and quality bootlegs from numerous tours that I miss most.

So, I can't really say that I blame this guy for starting a thread like this and not sharing something if he doesn't have something TO share.. but if he'd say that, that'd probably cause others to be like, oh here, then you should listen to this. Otherwise, I do have to agree that it comes across like hoarding.. give me what you have, but you can't have any of mine. Just like many other independent traders.

Yeah, I've noticed recently there appears to be a lot of issues between you and other posters. I just recently started posting more and I didn't know there were issues and problems going on between certain members or the reasons for it. And rarely do I comment on any of that. However, this time I did because the two posters before seemed to be upset about this thread. When Alicelover said this type of thread made her sick, I wanted to know why since I did send a demo and was going to ask for one. I am just wondering is it because it's against the rules/or something the band dislikes or a personal matter.

BTW relax and take care of yourself. Focusing on your recovery is surely the best thing to do. :)

i really haven't noticed that attitude in the FM community. there are several traders (brian j. comes to mind) who are willing to do a b&p or 2:1 if you don't have anything they want.

i haven't looked lately. i gave up on cd & dvd trades a few years ago because it became so frustrating that every page was like, sorry no 2:1, or no longer accepting trades all together. is the trading ring now defunct?

Ethan used to start threads like this over at Seven Wonders all the time, and he started one in the Stevie forum not not ago, so I'm certain he has a few to share if he wanted to.

I think Jimmy (Alicelover) was upset because as far as we know the band is against these things and John McVie has not only visited this forum but posted in it too.
But if there are any demos you want let me know and I'm happy to help you out if you want them.

----------------

I have stevie demos, but no real Mac demos, and that was the goal I had in starting this thread, was for us to share unreleased Mac songs.

Maybe you should ask nicely in future instead of telling people to share :shrug:
