lpfan2843 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 During the live Q & A that he did with Josh on YouTube, he was asked what do you think about Dead By Sunrise. He answered that he thought it was a little morbid in retrospect, kind of as a joke (he made several ‘’dead dad jokes’’ as he referred to them during the Q&A, but that isn’t the relevant part. He then said that he knew some of the creative differences that his Dad had with it, so he was kind of biased on it. What does he mean? Just that the label made it poppy and commercial and unlike the original demos like Ryan has said in later years? Or something more? He then called it a good pop-rock record and laughed when he said pop-rock so I’m guessing that is what he meant. Just thought it was interesting.

Soeffingnaive92 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Yeah I think he intended that. Also, I really didn't like the "dead dad jokes" but it was probably his way to take it slightly lighter. I think he's a good guy Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14173-jamie-bennington%E2%80%99s-comment-on-dead-by-sunrise/#findComment-298543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeffingnaive92 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Absolutely agree, like Mike said on Hold it Together about the "awkward joke" Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14173-jamie-bennington%E2%80%99s-comment-on-dead-by-sunrise/#findComment-298546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 After listening to the demos i don't think that they are actually that different to the final product.

LPLStaff Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The demos have a lot edgier/rock sound versus the extremely polished studio versions. Let Down and Walking in Circles are even better in the demo forms. Fire and My Suffering indeed are darker.

That “everybody’s gonna die” and the way he screams “my suffering” are a lot darker Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14173-jamie-bennington%E2%80%99s-comment-on-dead-by-sunrise/#findComment-306984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebron Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Only one that I think sounded better off of that demo CD we got was Let Down because of the electronic part in the chorus being higher and the song not fading out by reporting the chorus line like on the album. All the others are better on the album, especially Into You, Walking In Circles and Give Me Your Name. My Suffering’s demo is cool with the verses but the chorus is way better sounding on the album version and the mix is terrible for all the demos anyways. Fire’s original version is really cool but I still love the album version a lot more. The Walking In Circles demo isn’t better at all to me. Out Of Ashes’s version improves on it 100%. Into You’s demo we got is just plain bad sounding. The thing is, there are probably several versions of all the songs, better mixes, different variations, etc. Edited March 27, 2021 by Lebron Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14173-jamie-bennington%E2%80%99s-comment-on-dead-by-sunrise/#findComment-307215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
