The Thing that You Miss Most About from the GoS Demos

[GoS]

In honor of all of the other, similar threads, I thought that I'd start one about the thing that you liked about the Gift of Screws demos that did not make it onto the official version.


I'd have to say that I liked the chorus of ToF better than TRPtF.

I think the demo as a whole was better than what came out on the record. A lot of the bass was cut out on the final product. Plus, all the extra guitar work in the background. And of course I will always love "twist of fate" SOOO much more than "Right Place to Fade", the former just has so much mystery behind it.

I miss the lack of Stevie on most of the tracks that ended up on SYW.

What do you mean about the chorus of TOF v. RPTF? He cut the lead guitar in the first chorus and the loud, distorted rhythm guitar if brought way up to the front instead of the tremelo-ed rhythm one in the demo (which I guess I miss, even though it's still there). Apart from that it's exactly the same tracks used as in the "demo" but it's just mixed (slightly) differently.

Apart from the addition of Stevie to the SYW tracks and the remixing of RPTF and GOS all the tracks are exactly the same as the demo version except they've been mastered. All the mixes are exactly the same. GOS and RPTF are slightly different but not much.

Me too and Deep Dense.

Also, this is not related to GOS, but I miss the demo versions of My Little Demon. I think the entire mood of the song was changed for The Dance. I think the finished product was less gritty and wicked.

True. Although it still is a song from a auditive comicbook he once should release.

Tell me about it. Does anyone have Deep Dense, MLD, and (especially) GT demo 1?

I think also that he may have cut a synth from the chorus of TRPTF . ND OF COURSE HE IS STILL SAYING "Twist of fate"

Hmm, maybe he did. I'll have to go back and give it a closer listen but it's not something I noticed before.

I bought my friend a signed copy of GOS at the shows and he had never heard the demo of TOF before so he shouldn't hear "twist of fate" being sung so I'll ask him tomorrow if he thinks it sounds like that. I know we all think it still sounds like TOF (though I'm starting to sway my opinion) but I wonder if someone else who thinks he's singing RPTF will think it sounds more like TOF... I'll report back

I miss the synth and crazy sounds he adds into the background on the demo. I think that extra "noise" really added to the song as a whole.

But really I cant complain, I just wanted any incarnation of that song to make a LB solo album!
