The demos that repeat like Esaul, Super Zero, and Points of Authority - can anyone tell me the the differences? I know Esaul and By Myself have 3, and Points of Authority has 2, but I need to know which is which (e.g. "sink or swim" POA is first demo or second?)
By Myself: #1 = "Super Zero" from the 9-track demo CD. It has Mike whispering "So, what do you think?" at the beginning, and during the bridge there is a drum beat going in the background. The lyrics in this one are significantly different than the other 2 versions. #2 = "By Myself" from the 2-track demo CD. This one doesn't have the whisper at the beginning or the beat in the bridge that the 9-track version has. Also, on the first words of the song, "What do I do," Mike comes in right on the beat, and during the bridge he says "I'm so afraid." #3 = "Super Xero" from the old hybridtheory.com website. This version is almost the same as the 2-track version, except Mike comes in off the beat on the first line of the song, and during the bridge he says "Always afraid" instead of "I'm so afraid." A Place for My Head: #1 = "Esaul" from the 9-track demo CD. This version has the lyrics "So I run from that to a place I can't find you at" in the first verse. #2 = "A Place for My Head (Esaul)" from the 2-track demo CD. This version has the lyrics "But an on-front attack, you could never run from that" in the first verse, different from the 9-track version. This version has the "And the second it starts" lyric at the start of the 2nd verse that the website version doesn't have. #3 = "Esaul" from the old hybridtheory.com website. This version is similar to the 2-track version, except that at the start of the second verse, there's just the guitar playing with no vocals for a second, without the "And the second it starts" lyric. #4 = "Esaul" from Frat Party. This is an easter egg on the DVD, and is a live rehearsal performance of the song sometime in 1999. The lyrics are drastically different from any of the other 3 versions. Forgotten: #1 = "Rhinestone" from the Xero demo tape. There are numerous differences between the 2 versions of Rhinestone, but the easy way to tell them apart is that this one has Mark Wakefield on vocals. #2 = "Rhinestone" from the 9-track demo CD. This one has Chester singing. Points of Authority: #1 = "Points & Authority" from the 9-track demo CD. This is the version with the "it's time to sink or swim" breakdown. #2 = "Points of Authotity" from the old hybridtheory.com website. Commonly mislabeled as "Vertical Limit," this is the version with the alternate rap lyrics: "Forfeit the game/stop the talk show" etc...this isn't really a "demo," but more or less an alternate take on the final Hybrid Theory mix (similar to Now I See and Plaster).
Nope. The 1stp Klosr demo is the one that's an easter egg on Frat Party. Pretty much the same as the final Reanimation version, except it's a bit more stripped down, doesn't have JD's vocals, and the ending goes on for a little longer.
