Foo Fighters - Lonely As You (Million Dollar Demo) Lyrics

I really wish they would release this version on Spotify and other streaming services.

Im just waiting for the foo‘s to sort of remake this demo into a real song onto one of their future albums

Anyone else want to go live in the universe where this was the version originally released?

Ryan Seabaugh couldn’t have said it any better

The solo at 4:09 is soooo awesome!

this goes hard

Old Shifty with that solo !!.... Could be Dave..but ...nah.. it could've went a bit longer too... but
Dave wasn't happy with this version??....fucking artists I swear.

Why did they change for this for the album version? This version is amazing!

If they kept this version, I think it could of been one of their #1 hits from the album with All my life and Times like these

Kurt cobain couldn’t do anything as well as grohl. Makes me scratch my head about his status

Gonna be a few heads scratched at your comment.

Kurt made waves....
Dave bought a surfboard and threw a party.
Both great artists in their own right.

@Eric Christian
Damn straight .

At the same time you can't deny Dave is better in basically every way talent wise.

Awesome!!

wow!!! I am speechless

I don't think this is as good as the album version. I personally think this track and album are very good!

This sounds more pissed off, while the album version is more melancholic

I guess I'm alone in thinking the album version is better. I do like this version, though not as much.

This song it's like Nirvana songs... ♡

This sounds like end titles for some shrek or smth

You must have seen a different Shrek than the rest of us lol.


Thanks for the laugh though

Sure, Dave's voice sounds cool, but what you're referring to as "cool" is just an incredible amount of strain on his vocal chords, I mean it's pretty fucking obvious that he's scraping the very lid of his vocal range in this track. If he could barely do it in the studio there's no way he could consistently do it 100 times live. Hence why the album version is different.

Awesome R A T C H E T ! ! ! I always suspected people in bands intentionally put below par performances on record for the ages, in case a live show or two didn't live up to what they had promised.

It's kinda cool that this recording exists though - otherwise it's be proper hard to gauge a singer's vocal range when they were trying.

R A T C H E T I do hear, and feel what your saying. It seems though that Davids' going to give it every single thing he has and then 100 more.
Do i wish there was something to ease the strain, of course

That must be why their more recent stuff is easier to sing

@SnookerWither Not necessarily. Two words: White Limo.

@Collin Parsons That's a good point

This version over the album version all day

This version is amazing!!!

Song just isnt the same without the big finish

The album version is just terrible, this on the other hand is so fucking good

They were probably afraid this sounded too much like nu metal and the Offspring or something

nothing wrong with the first couple of offspring albums.

Ignition kicks fucking ass. You wanna know what they changed it? You can hear Dave straining his voice here, and if he could barely do it in the studio then there's no way he could do it live a thousands times, ya feel?

@R A T C H E T Word; love Ignition.

Amo esta vercion, es mas viva y expresa lo que dice la letra , ni hablar en vivo como sonaria

Justamente ese era el problema. Para Dave esto era prácticamente imposible por la fuerza que tiene y porque si nos ponemos en contexto, este album es después del homónimo y el Colour and the Shape que tiene canciones como I'll Stick Around, Alone+Easy Target, This is a Call, Monkey Wrench, New Way Home, My Poor Brain, etc. El pobre hombre se hubiera desgarrado la garganta terriblemente.

@Fernando Callo Corrección: entre The Colour & The Shape y One By One está There is Nothing Left to Lose.

Anyone got tabs?

Try using chordify it will find the chords and you can figure it out from there

this is like Smashing Pumpkins Disarm live version, in a sense that both this and the live version of Disarm both have a "pissed off" feel, so awesome.

That beginning scream pretty much sums up how Dave felt about the album at that point...

This version is very powerfull...alothough I still like how it turned out in the album better

5:03 that bend!

yea how do you do that?

Whammy bar

oh my fuck. this is so grungy and raw and less depressing than the other one lol

This puts the album version to shame. Amazing.

Ever hear the demo of DOA? It's off "5 of Ours, 1 of Theirs." Came out a bit after In Your Honor. Sometimes I think perchance the demo does hold a higher ground. Just some thing about it, I wont...

this is better than the 2002 cd

This is gold dude!!!
Do you have more?
Thanx for sharing.
