Oh really? I could be wrong, but I thought it was actually recorded, but ultimately not good enough to put on the actual NNF album, ironically. But Jason responding to me didn't have to mean specifically the NNF track, could be The Edge or others. Heck, if any aren't finished, he could re-record down the line!

I asked him if the track “NNF” would ever be released back at the first concert I attended (2005, Boston) and if I remember correctly, he said the song wasn’t completed until after the album was done. I also asked about a re-release of DLD which he mentioned him and E were playing around with and “maybe one day” but I took that as a “probably not”.

Again, this was a quick conversation we had 15 years ago so take it with a grain of salt. The details might not be 100% but that’s how I remembered it.

Wow, that would be amazing if they re-released DLD! But yeah, interesting about NNF. Here's to hoping we get it...soon!

It’s funny how Jason was almost apologetic about how the demos sound “a little rough around the edges”. I don’t know if it’s just me but for me it’s actually that rougher more imperfect sound that I like rather than the overly perfect sound LH had in the last few albums.

And here I was immediately noticing the word, "edge" and assumed this was a huge hint at 'The Edge.' LOL I'm crazy

I am tempted to buy it, but I want a tracklist :/ Kinda sucks they provide 0 info on the website as to what's actually on the disc.

I agree, but for me, I go all in with whatever LH and JW put out. Especially since I can't afford going to most concerts. I may not even get to go to Goo Goo Dolls/LH because those prices are insane. I went to a LH concert at the Greek Theater, I think 2 years ago and I could actually afford the meet and greet. Now at the same theater, but with the GGD, it's almost tripled of what I paid for the meet and greet

Maybe GGD picked some pricey venues in the US... Toronto tickets were surprisingly $50 for the amphitheatre lawn seats!

I really don’t think it’s the venues... I’ve been to a few of these, and they are definitely smaller/mid-level/cheaper places (the few I’ve been to at least). Especially for MI, I’m really surprised by the venue choice, but it is by no means an expensive venue. The cost on this whole tour is a bit wild in my opinion. Especially after having gone to multiple shows of this same tour years ago 😂!

Same lh778, I ended up getting the demos record due to Steve saying on his twitter that the songs for demos dropped the day when it was listed for sale. I checked Spotify and Youtube but could not find the demos record so I just pulled the trigger and bought the record since I did not want to miss out on the songs in the album in case it never gets posted to the public which I don't believe will happen but you never know

I didn't know they were going to post the song list up. Well, I mean, apparently they didn't lol

EDIT: Jason mentioned Winzlo vol.1 EP physical release at some point. Guess that's on hold. and Highways and Low Days isn't signed.

Robert, guess it isn't the venues!

LHfanMI, I can see the GGD raising their prices. I hate it. I wish I could have afforded them the first time around when they toured with LH. I always wanted to see the GGD live. They are getting up there with Foo FIghters prices (Which I still want to see!).

Another demo released (only a snippet this time)

The caption is "‘Fool Who Sticks Around’ .... this song really captures lyrically where I was at around and during the self titled Lifehouse record... similar themes to “Blind” “Better Luck Next Time” and “Walking Away” ... these songs were therapy at the time - Demos Vol. 1 signed CD’s available now #linkinbio"


I agree with whoever voiced it earlier, I really wish Jason would post a tracklist with the CD. How many songs are on it??

And also wish he would clarify what “available now” means. Still doesn’t seem to have shipped, no track list, no digital download, no streaming. So I guess he should only say “available to order now.”

Anyway...I love what I’m hearing so far either way. Very happy he’s doing this! Now I just want ALL the demos from over the years!!

Pretty sure I read in a comment response somewhere that the first Demos release will have ten tracks. And the way Jason, Steve, and the Lifehouse are all pushing it on Instagram as 'out now' suggests it's a physical release only. Looks like this one is meant to be a limited-edition fan-focused sort of thing... interesting choice (although the shipping came to $20 alone for me living here in Canada... not an easy swallow).

I too want a tracklist, but being a collector's item and knowing the sound of that era, I'm still willing to purchase it blindly (unlike an Ozwald record, for instance).

Robert I believe that is true that its a physical release only. My demos order has just been shipped and should be here in 3 days. I'll let you all know the full tracklist if it isn't revealed by then.

I got a shipping confirmation today as well. On Facebook, Jason posted two new songs "Never Going Back" and "Fool Who Sticks Around".

Judging by the price of this compared to the other physical releases, this is priced more than Paper Cuts (which was the highest at $20). I'd be willing to bet there's 10 here and the other 10 later this year. He mentioned having twenty recordings in total.

Got mine too. I believe you folks will receive yours ahead of me as I'm up North of the border... very excited to find out the list and whether there are any songs we already know on there! Judging by the way he said those tracks we mentioned are all "contenders" after he printed the CDs and posted the purchase link, that suggests he was still deciding at the time and that they won't be on this first release. I'm expecting this disc will be more songs we don't know, while the second will be some other tracks that never made it, like What Happens Next .
