Howard Stern debuting "Fighting Myself" and "More the Victim"

[xeroboi]

Swear linkin park b side are better than the actual albums songs leaving across the line, blackbird, what we don't know off mtm 

[LPLStaff]

These songs are GREAT.

So More The Victim is Cumulus with vocals? Does the instrumental sound the same as the released demo or is it updated?

Can't wait to listen when I get home from work!!

There are added scratches, beautiful strings in the background (however, they are barely audible due to the bad quality of the recordings) and, most importantly, live drums! It sounds much better than the demo.

If More The Victim is Cumulus with vocals... that really makes me think Healing Foot is Broken Foot with (some form of ) vocals 😛 But probably not as complete as those 2 songs.

 

Same with A6, but that one is more obvious.

Now I believe that A6 has also updated instrumental that sounds closely to short version with vocals. I pray for that. 🙏🏻

Dreams come true sometimes, Mike was 100% right 

[bloodbath]

More the Victim was ok, nothing impressive, although Fighting Myself is a very different story

[Hybrid1988]

Unreal that these songs were just sitting on hard drives for 20 years. These are the definition of hidden gems. Blown away at the quality of these. Forcing myself not to listen to these clips non stop but they are SO good.

[Qwerty18]

Fighting Myself is pretty f*cking dope.

 

I'll try my best not to overplay those recordings as the sound quality really don't make the song justice.

 

But, what a banger.

Now the question is when do we think these 2 songs will be released to Spotify?

[jaredRRT]

Listening now...but I need to relisten since I missed a lot while in an interview!

If that is the case with "Healing Foot", then that brings down the Rob drum song to being either "Massive", "Wesside", or "Resolution". Who knows.

[Hybrider]

I bet that Resolution is Lost demo. They just did not write (Lost Demo) after it, because they want to surprise us.

Exactly. Almost unbelievable they were just sitting there for so long. Wow.

Shockingly great tracks. 

More the Victim has a different/higher pitched sample in the intro/loop in the song, it's slightly different than Cumulus. Has live drums, bass, scratching, different guitar riff slightly, it's all really really good.

[Cesar656]

This is incredible

[YRQRM0]

More the Victim is amazing! It's a surreal experience hearing those vocals after dozens of listens to Cumulus. I think I'm decent at writing melodies, but those are so much more interesting than anything I was coming up with in my head

Which Lost Demo are you thinking of? The one with Chester singing "Thoughts that take away my pride" full version or the instrumental version used in LPUTV Mike's Shirt episode?

Maybe, or maybe older one. We will see.

[jopevc]

Has anyone tried to figure out what the guitars on Fighting Myself are playing? From what I hear it seems the tuning is Drop C#

[RentEznor]

I'm so, so, so happy Warner decided to protect the band after HT and NOT let anything leak like how the HT demos were 'leaked' randomly through eBay. Awesome 2 new tracks, awesome to hear Cumulus with lyrics and Fighting Victim is just great. Can't wait to hear the rest of the demos.

As other users pointed out, after HT they proved to be an valued asset, before that they were a new band that they barely care about

It's amazing that after 22 years people still believe that the HT demos were leaked.

 

They were meant to promote the band, their mission was to be everywhere and somehow it succeeded.

The quality of Meteora demos is SO FUCKING HIGH. I mean, with all the due respect, we are not talking about Pictureboard, a really early demo that’s not even close to the quality of the HT songs. Like, I want to listen to an HQ of MTV And FM before judging  but so far all the 3 songs here could have been on Meteora
