We have at least one completely unheard track in 'For One So Young'. Its a shame that slipped through our fingers a few years back.

Really? I've not heard of for one so young.
Was it on the demos cd? Where did u heard about it?

For everyone's convenience, here comes the legendary Mr. Monobrow:

To be honest, his whole site really is required reading. I just wish he'd continue posting on here.

I would like to leave this city

Ah thank you for posting that.
Whatever happened to mr monobrow? He always posted interesting stuff. We need to get him back.
He had a few sites and a blog at one stage during the stop the clocks promo, that gave details of all the promo the band were doing. Was really good

Still one of my favourite Oasis records, despite a couple of glaring omissions from B-sides in favour of lesser album tracks

Hopefully there is a welath of as yet unheard demos and songs from this period.

We have at least one completely unheard track in 'For One So Young'. Its a shame that slipped through our fingers a few years back.

Be interesting to hear if that track remained intact, or whether it got used in parts in other songs. I tend to find that with some demos from Springsteen periods, where you can hear released songs, or parts at least, in some demos

Yeah I'd be amazed if we hadn't already heard 'For One So Young' in one capacity or another,

For example if the demo hadn't have been leaked, people would might have also seen It's A Crime written somewhere and thought it was some long lost gem unaware that it got repackaged as Let There Be Love.

Noel loves to recycle stuff, I mean Revolution Song only got official released this year 17 years after being demoed and it sound fuck all like Tender! Lock all The Doors is over 20 years old and is now a single!

We're so lucky to have the demos from this period, perhaps the band weren't bothered about them leaking as they aren't too different from the finish album versions.
Maybe this influenced their decision to put demos of HC songs on the singles. It's always good to hear the original demos so you get an idea of how a song develops or even changes totally like songbird and Hindu times.

mimmihopps: Don't turn this forum to be like a tabloid paper please. I beg you all for the sake of this forum and sake for my love for the band. Thanks. Jul 29, 2025 5:26:06 GMT -5

coolprophet: Nice censorship going. Simply shutting down every discussion - and just after someone who seems to be connected with the band posted something. You got told that NO talk about it is wanted? Pretty poor look L4E/Mods! Disappointing... Jul 29, 2025 15:55:57 GMT -5

carlober: Whatever. Jul 30, 2025 15:13:39 GMT -5

photogirl: I don’t agree with the censorship either. If you don’t like a thread, don’t participate in it. As long as things are kept reasonably respectable I don’t like that I have almost nowhere to talk about this situation. But I’m not a mod, don’t fancy their job Jul 30, 2025 20:50:59 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Our job on this forum is to keep this place safe and alive. We can’t make everyone happy. People will complain whatever we do and blame us for whatever we do/don’t. Live4ever Forum is NOT some gossip magazine. Thanks. Jul 31, 2025 2:20:33 GMT -5

photogirl: No, it’s not a gossip magazine, but this is a huge happening in the community, is all I’m saying. Agree with you though, you won’t win so I do understand your actions. Jul 31, 2025 2:25:13 GMT -5

mimmihopps: No Lisa, my comment wasn’t aimed at you, but in general. Jul 31, 2025 9:10:15 GMT -5
