i've been saying for a while now that if guns and roses were a leaked track it would be a fan-favorite

it may have to do with people wanting to appear a bit contrarian, or perhaps there's a bit of recency-bias, something that is new and not as familiar to them may seem more appealing or better, but after a while they may feel differently once the dust has settled it depends on how different the demo is compared to the released version, it would make sense why fans may have very different opinions about lust for life, let me love you like a woman, and their demos, lust for life was mellow, spacey, atmospheric, with thought-provoking and introspective lyrics, and became more of a conventional 2010s pop song with a feature, pink champagne was rock-inspired, 6 minutes long, reminiscent of classic rock songs from the 80s, and perfectly fit the sound and feel of the ultraviolence era, and it was changed into a sparse, acoustic, mellow ballad, one could understand why some people may prefer the demos, some would even consider them objectively better it would make the most sense to say that the album versions are objectively the best, because they are the finished product, which are also properly mixed and mastered, but it also comes down to personal preference, for example, i prefer the demo version of million dollar man as opposed to the album version, because i think the album version is a little over-produced, the demo is raw in a way that almost sounds more natural and polished compared to the album version because i personally feel like the song works better as something more simple, sometimes less is more, but some demos can be really lacking, such as without you (demo 2), that song really shines with more production and a more polished sound

pink champagne vs. raise me up (mississippi south)

pin up galore <3

at which points/songs during the show did the lizzy grant footage appear in the background?

i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed she was holding a cat in that set of photos because i never noticed anybody else point it out lol

it wasn't, it was added on by the photographer/modeling agency

also lana rey del mar

i believe the ocean (version 2) was reliably scrobbled so it's likely that it exists, but dance for money version 2 hasn't been 100% confirmed to exist, it's speculated like the other four demos you've listed i don't really know when gas station, mermaid hotel, or smartie were registered, unfortunately, but what i can say is that the only alt. title which is confirmed/known to be an actual other version is mermaid hotel, i think anything regarding gas station and smartie being alt. versions is just speculation

yeah, she was around 11, honestly i highly doubt she recorded it, but it's interesting that she still remembered it!

yeah i think you should mention that CD! honestly, i don't know i always believed that longer demo with the weird extended outro to be produced by steven mertens, but i've heard other people say it was produced by david kahne, it isn't impossible, because we do have the early mixes for put me in a movie and raise me up (mississippi south), but the 4:34 demo of queen of the gas station sounds pretty similar to the "queen" demo, i really don't know lol

okay, i'm reading through and here's anything that is incorrect/any additional information china palace also mentions strawberry daiquiris, according to lana herself (very minor detail lol) i personally don't think your band is all the rage is from 2006, it sounds just like her other laptop demos from 2009, but i don't know if anybody reliable has ever clarified that, that's just what i think there's also the pin up galore demo titled roller dirby, and the 2 trash magic demos, which i would assume were all produced by steven mertens, the second trash magic demo that has the exact same chorus as the final version of trash magic, the one we've had since 2012, was recorded on november 21, 2007 there's also the 1949 laptop demo (although i can understand if it's redundant to include every single demo lol) david kahne also did his own version of motel 6, and he described his version of hundred dollar bill as "progressive and aggressive"

i'm only skimming through right now, but when i'm with you wasn't actually performed in may 2007, it was performed in somebody's living room, and the song was written by steven mertens 10 years prior

maybe wherever the kill kill EP is mentioned? since kill kill is listed on this registration and sugarbaby also seems to include gramma

YAYYY!

well that certainly wasn't the yayo music video i watched

did you see that video of her recently playing and singing it on acoustic guitar with fans? it is so magical

lana used footage from yayo as visuals for her 2011 born to die tour when they used those big balloons, and she also included footage from yayo for the homemade video for blue jeans, and although that was a long time ago, it really seems as though she liked that video and it certainly is a good music video, it fits the vibe of yayo so well, her homemade videos were so unique, we're honestly so lucky to have them

omg is there any videos/footage of when the lizzy grant footage popped up?

what was the setlist? was it different or the same as the past two times?

yayo! lana's best homemade music video?

@Unknown any info on any lust for life outtakes we may not know about?

i'm sorry that i have to say it again, but nobody here is saying she CAN'T revisit a song, we're just saying it's UNLIKELY or that we can't just automatically assume she's going to, and whether or not it's leaked doesn't even matter because she has revisited and released leaked songs

not technically a poem, but methamphetamines has some very pretty, poetic lyrics i also really love mermaid motel's lyrics! lizzy grant lyrics in general are some of my favorites <3

nobody is saying that lana can't revisit a song... we're just saying that we can't automatically assume she's going to, and that, logically, it would be unlikely for her to revisit malibu because she already technically did with get free... technically she could revisit it again, but we can't just assume she would, and i don't know how malibu leaking would really hinder her ability to revisit it, she has revisited songs that were already out there! i feel like we should try to just end the conversation and talk about something else or just browse a different thread because we're not getting anywhere with it and we obviously have a lot of differing opinions on different subjects pertaining to her leaks
