I love that SPYHO demo. I was never really a fan of the final version tbf, but I do prefer the demo.

Like the 1988 mix is good and all, but the one thing that it fails at is that the chorus doesn't feel very satisfying, like it doesn't have a build up to it, and when you get to it, its very similar, if not the same to the verseswell the 1986 version is a true demo for the 1987 version. The 1987 version is like 90% done, but its definitely still great
The song isn't all that high up on my list ("Dark Lady", "Boy No", and "Just Remember" are the 3 main songs I need to have injected in my veins) but same here basically. Listening to the recreations on YT which apparently are quite close to the real song does scratch that itch pretty well, I find it cool how similar it is to Queen's "We Will Rock You" which is exactly how I imagined the song to be like.(unrelated, but I really want Rocker to leak)
My brother in christ it's the same shit with synth strings in the backgroundSomething about the 1987 chorus is so magical and seducing
No it definitely is not lmao. Not sure what you're listening to but it definitely not the sameMy brother in christ it's the same shit with synth strings in the background
We need to confirm that by asking Damien. We could have the full structure and melody of the song without even knowing it.The song isn't all that high up on my list ("Dark Lady", "Boy No", and "Just Remember" are the 3 main songs I need to have injected in my veins) but same here basically.

This is where I must check you I'm afraid. SPYHO is one of MJ's most ethereal songs.The early demo version of SPYHO is imo superior, too.
No, I actually meant Monster. My badThe Rocker snippets didn't come from Damien did it? And as for what Kai said, he's probably right about the tapes. (unrelated, but I really want Rocker to leak)
I think they are both good but I would agree early version is better. Probably because it’s more raw and it’s different.The early demo version of SPYHO is imo superior, too.
Its objectively better because its the original intended sound/vibe for the song

Yeah, I’m with you. I love SPYHO dearly, but the demo just doesn’t do anything for me.This is where I must check you I'm afraid. SPYHO is one of MJ's most ethereal songs.
You'd be surprised how many people tweet about this track daily, not even the MJ fans. It's constantly being pushed by bots and algorithms bs, which made the "hype" around it so huge that fakes and edits started circulating.There’s someone on Instagram, about 600k followers, that has uploaded a video with audio of an AI version of Palestine Don’t Cry - not only is she claiming that the audio is real, but she’s saying that it was replaced on HIStory “at the very last minute” by Earth Song. She also says that Earth Song was written after Palestine because it was too controversial.
Completely made up of course, but everyone in the comments takes her word for it. I left a comment to try and clear up the misinformation (Earth Song written in 1988, Palestine in 1993 - as well as the fact that the latter probably wasn’t even recorded, nevermind being “replaced” by Earth Song at the last minute). I was immediately blocked.
Anyway, it made me think about the original title of this thread - “end the confusion about unreleased songs” - and made me realise that people will make up, and have others believe, almost anything without proof.
Thank God I'm not alone because wtfYeah, I’m with you. I love SPYHO dearly, but the demo just doesn’t do anything for me.
these white lies will always exist, as it adds mistique and a "modernness" to MJ.There’s someone on Instagram, about 600k followers, that has uploaded a video with audio of an AI version of Palestine Don’t Cry - not only is she claiming that the audio is real, but she’s saying that it was replaced on HIStory “at the very last minute” by Earth Song.

Who said it was from Brian May?I'm thinking about both leaked tracks from that Freddie session.
Both demos, SoS & Tmbmtltt, were supposedly sourced from Brian May - which would mean they're day-mixes made by Brent Averill and given to Freddie.
So to this day, we haven't heard the Bottrell mix of SoS MJ was fond of.![]()
You’re right in that regard, but I think part of the mystique with MJ was that he also tried to keep a lot of his political views to himself, as to not alienate portions of fans (think not releasing Abortion Papers, for example)these white lies will always exist, as it adds mistique and a "modernness" to MJ.
close enough welcome back Nathan Jay
Newly created YT channel, single video upload. Idk, could be an ai generated snippet.
Is this real?
Since the song does not have more vocals than the ones we already have, I'd say it's fake.
Is this real?
Impersonator, Marcus WilliamsDoes anybody here know the original source for the solo "demo" version of "Joy"? Backing vocals isolated from the released Blackstreet version? Impersonator? Judging by what I hear I'd assume it's the former.
