Listening to THT demo where it’s practically unanimous amongst us that it’s better than the studio version, I’m wondering what other Oasis demos are generally considered better (or at least different in a positive sense) to their recorded counterparts?
Live Forever demo is fucking mint
Gas Panic demo is different but in a good way.
Lock all the Doors demo is better than the NGHFB version
You get the idea...

It's a Crime is better than Let There Be Love.
Never been a big fan of the Hindu Times demo. I prefer the faster tempo of the album version

Live Forever demo is beautiful but I feel the definitive version is the one we all know. Raw and abrasive. Owen Morris is an underrated producer.

I don't think its better, but I think its equally as good, is the Songbird demo.
Its completely different. Total Beatles homage but still excellent.

Fade Away.
I love how Liam's vocals are nice and upfront as a reflective storyteller on the demo, and that gets lost in the B-side version.

Columbia (White label demo) and Little by little demo are better.

The album version of The Hindu Times sounds better than the demo. However, the demo has better lyrics, so the best version would be the actual version with the demo's lyrics, IMO |

What are people's thoughts on the Stop Crying Your Heart Out Demo?

The Hindu Times. That demo is a monster, especially the beginning when the drum track collides with the guitar. Pure auditory explosion. Love it.

I do like the Live Forever demo but I still think that the finished version is better.

The Hindu Times aged poorly.

Fade Away. I love how Liam's vocals are nice and upfront as a reflective storyteller on the demo, and that gets lost in the B-side version. This. The released version is perhaps my least favourite production in the Oasis catalogue, the (rather good) lyrics just get buried in the mix. I like the energy though. I love the song, but every recording of it seems to have some kind of shortcoming to me. The B-side is just noisy in a bad way. The demo's energy is not the same as the B-side's. The Warchild version is rather good, but Noel is on vocals (though it's fun to hear Liam doing proper backup vocals). Tony hurries like mad in the early live versions. And the early 2000s live versions have a not bad, but declining Liam. |

I love the finished version of Fade Away and always have especially the early live version. I do like the demo version though.

The Hindu Times is the obvious pick. That demo is just orgasmic and a million miles ahead of the album version.
I'd throw in Where Did it All Go Wrong, as well. The more trip-hop flavour of the demo lets the song breathe nicely and the whole thing sounds more natural when not being forced into an Anthem. Ultimately, I think both this and The Hindu Times Demo should have shared a tracklisting on some kind of 2002 experimental comeback.

To be honest I haven't listened to the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants demos in a very long time. But I do like them and it's a pity that there isn't many demo cds available other than what we've already got.

I could imagine a combined version of SOTSOG and HC making up that album. Songs like those two, Go Let it Out, Gas Panic!, Who Feels Love, Let's All Make Believe, Born on a Different Cloud, Roll it Over, SCYHO, Little by Little, hell even a more-concise & SOTSOG-ified version of Better Man, would've made for a good album. |

If they'd not realeased SOTSOG and released their 4th album in 2002 with the same production as SOTSOG but with some of the stronger tracks from HC to replace the dross of SOTSOG it would have been an excellent way to kick off Oasis MK 2 1. Fuckin' in the Bushes 2. Go Let it Out 3. The Hindu Times (demo version Liam vocals) 4. Let's all make Believe 5. Keep What Ya Got (Liam vocals)* 6. Little By Little 7. Songbird 8. Gas Panic! 9. Better Man with SOTSOG production or Full On (Liam vocals) 10. Stop Crying Your Heart Out * I'm assuming Ian Brown wrote the lyrics to this but would have been epic if Noel had kept the instrumental for an Oasis release as it was perfect for the darker SOTSOG direction The early 2000s were an interesting period cos Noel was obviously thinking of a different sound direction with SOTSOG and early versions of HC tunes, which he eventually scrapped with the finished version of Heathen Chemistry but it would've been great to hear an amalgamation of the darker experimentation of SOTSOG with a couple of radio-friendly singles if they'd waited a year or 2 to release album #4 |

Shout out for Record Machine. I appreciate it ended up NGHFB but always prefer the demo.

Songbird demo sounds like something that would be on SOTSOG.

I like the Turn Up The Sun demo, the intro is a bit longer and quiet, so you turn the sound up and suddenly the guitars kick in and it blows out your ear drums if you're not careful.

It's a good song but I haven't listened to it in a long time. |
