Posted by caemanamelio on

Stone Sour have shared a demo version of their song “Reborn.” The final version of that track appeared on the band’s 2006 album “Come What(ever) May.“ Guitarist Josh Rand commented:

“I wrote and recorded Reborn on a four track tape recorder on the tour bus while we were still out on tour in support of the first album. Then sometime in 2004 Joel, Shawn, & myself went back up to Catamount Studios (that’s where the 1st album was recorded) to get a better version of the song. This version is without Corey or James.”

Stone Sour have shared a demo version of the title track of their 2006 album “Come What(ever) May.“ Guitarist Josh Rand commented:

“Recorded in 2004, this was the 1st version of the song Come What(ever) May (originally titled Drama Cyst). I believe it was recorded in Corey‘s grandma’s basement. James is not on this demo because he was finishing working on Slipknot‘s Vol 3 in L.A at the time. The song had a drastic make over once Roy played the drum tracks. This change to the music made Corey rewrite the lyrics.”

Stone Sour have shared a demo version of their song “30/30-150.” The final version of that track appeared on the band’s 2006 album “Come What(ever) May.“

Guitarist Josh Rand commented:

“Late in 2004 after cutting some tracks at Catamount Studios with Joel & Shawn, I decided to build a room in my house to record in. In the process of trying to learn the Pro Tools software, it led me to writing the music for 30/30-150.

The drums are programed on this version using an Alesis SR-16 drum machine. After Corey came over and laid down his vocals for this song, I knew then that our 2nd record was going to be a big leap forward for the band from the self-titled record. – Josh Rand“
