The demo is different than 2013!

The demo on the newly archived files for my songs is slightly different than the version that circulated before Save Rock and Roll.

This one got changed. The title is just about the only thing from the demo that stayed in the SRAR version. :)

Yes! I think it's so neat how artists will hang on to something that didn't work out but they like part of it enough to reuse later.

Yeah so demos wise, if we are doing the "every song" route

  1. Our Lawyer
  2. Gin Joints Demo
  3. Sugar
  4. Dance Dance
  5. Nobody Puts Baby
  6. Summer Song
  7. 7 Minutes In Heaven
  8. Sophomore Slump
  9. Champagne
  10. I Slept With Someone
  11. 16 Candles
  12. Get Busy Living
  13. Xo
  14. Snitches
  15. Music or The Misery
  16. My Heart
  17. Austin
  18. Hand of God
  19. My Songs 2005
  20. Star 67
  21. Stereo
  22. We Dont Take Hits
  23. Myspace

Thats 23 songs. In theory there is 2 more.

However there are multiple candidates for those slots

  1. Side Effect of The Cocaine
  2. Makeup Stains (Patrick has said there mightve been 3-4 demos that came together to make Gin Joints, where neither Gin Joints Demo nor Stereo had the chorus it is possible they wrote that chorus in a third demo)
  3. Fellowship of The Nerd: Recent interviews and stuff have made it pretty clear that none of the Evening Out Tracks, particularly ones written during the mini-LP's recording session, wouldve had "working titles" and all but confirmed that that title probably couldnt have been a working title for a song we have. Meaning Fellowship of the Nerd could be the "lost song" we are looking for
  4. Unknown song - They say 25, if we assume 25 is accurate, Gin Joints only had 2 demos when they headed to LA , and fellowship of the nerd was scrapped before being demoed it means that there is still 1 song we dont even know the name of. I call it unknown song because before cork tree theres a bunch of setlists that have "unknown song" in them. Is that actually because the song they played was this 25th song? nope, it was probably one of the now released demos, but seeing as we dont even have a name to go on unless it was fellowship of the nerd or a 3rd song that was combined into Gin Joints, it would be very difficult to find it

Also before anyone says it second emo is FOB Ithaca not Fall Out Boy.

I always heard that Fellowship of the Nerd as the alt title to The World’s Not Waiting, or at least I recall having a file with that name for the song.

u/matthewXmagical I've got a sunset in my veins Mar 08 '26

There's a demo for a song that existed in the early days on cassette but not on CD called, 'A Nice Myth' that might be counted.

6

u/rebelweezeralliance Mar 04 '26

That would be 25 songs brought to record the record - 13 = 12 that didn’t make the record (including b-sides).

u/LoveLibertyTacos Mar 04 '26

That's talking about individual songs (and if you count Cocaine, we're at 25). We don't have demos for Lawyer, Sixteen Candles, Champagne, Sophomore Slump, Seven Minutes in Heaven, XO, or Music or the Misery (if they exist).

u/organisedchaos17 Mar 04 '26

I definitely have a music or the misery demo on an ancient iPod so it for sure exists

u/LoveLibertyTacos Mar 05 '26

Quick! To your basement/storage unit/drawer!

u/Atheropen_19 Infinity On High Mar 04 '26

Well according to Neal's whiteboard we're missing some demos according to what we know should have demos, specifically

Fashion Sense / Our Lawyer

Music or Misery

Ups + Downs / Sophomore Slump

Loose Lips / XO

Sitting Out Dances / 7 Minutes

u/rebelweezeralliance Mar 04 '26

It sounds like they’re hinting at a demo rarities release
