Earlier versions and demos aren’t the same to me. Official releases of different versions of the same song are cool. I know for Dude Ranch there were songs on it that had been released before in other forms. But I can’t think of an actual demo that I’ve enjoyed more than an official release. I do still enjoy listening to them though, it’s fun to compare the demos to the final versions and pick out what changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I saw an article earlier that said Travis Barker flew in a plane for the first time in 13 years this week. Huge props to him for that, it must have been so nerve wracking. Glad to see that he was able to do it though, that’s awesome. edit: 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, those versions were the recorded versions you heard first. In most cases any "other" recording isn't going to sound as good to you because you were used to the other version. It's a perspective thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I've heard that version, I just gave it another listen on YouTube and I agree it was pretty good! I lost a lot of my blink-182 b-sides and rare tracks somewhere between past computers. Thank goodness for youtube I guess. The lower quality of demos can sometimes be cool but it mostly hampers my enjoyment of the music. I'm actually a big fan of artists re-recording their earliest songs way later in their careers in better quality. It rarely ever happens, but I always think it's cool when it does (I don't always think it's better than the original, but it is fun to have an alternate version to listen to at least). Even blink re-recording What's My Age Again for that mashup with Lil' Wayne was cool, just to hear Matt Skiba's vocals on an official studio recording of that track (too bad it was only a mashup, but still cool).

Yeah, and I loved it! I still listen to the old version too, but in that case I actually prefer the new version. It's fun to have both though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a perspective thing. to be fair to leia, the first recording i heard of that was DR. but i had been hearing it live since 95, and the demo version (which i did not hear until the mp3 era) is much closer to how they played it live. so you are both right and wrong, in a sense.

Speedo Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 I watched one video from that guy who turns other songs into "If written by Blink-182". One video. Now, my YouTube feed is full of his videos, I've blocked his channel now 3 separate times and the guy keeps coming back like a roach. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
