Ok... i first saw this when i heard trapt's new version of 'headstrong.' I heard the demo of that song more than two years ago and i loved it! When i heard the re-make i thought it was terrible. Next came Finch's new version of 'what it is to burn' which pissed me off because it was terrible compared to the original which i had heard so long before. Then came A Static Lullaby's new version of 'the shooting star that destroys us all' This was the last straw, the demo of that song was one of the best song i had heard in a long time, and the new one sucks. But... thats not all... Billy Talent's new version of 'try honesty' is also terrible compared to the original. It is disgusting. The demo's are ten times better than the real versions. Why did they have to change?
I'm sure you guys could come up with more examples, but those were the ones that i came up with.
Anyways, the new version of billy talent's song just sounds retarded. The singer sounds like he has a cold while choking on a knife while being mauled by a pack of wolves. It's terrible.

It's because you're used to the old versions. You're used to hearing the songs under-produces and unfinished. Then, when you hear the different version, it sounds weird and bad.
For example, listen to Starseed. Then go listen to the Armageddon Soundtrack version. It doesn't have the "yeah yeah yeah he" in it. Makes me want to die when I hear it.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

OH NO! not a whole 1 second of song that's changed!!!
anyways rob is right about the "you're just used to the original version" thing. I really doubt bands are deliberately trying to make their songs worse. If anything they probably think that the demos are crap. You probably just like it cause it's the band at it's rawest form.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Exactly. The bands are doing things they think are improvements.
Let's hope OLP is actually good for this reason.

Why did I sense that OLP comment coming from a mile away?
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
i knew it was coming when i wrote it lol

There's no way to say something about "raw" any more without a crack about the band.

I like my sex raw and kinky, does that make you think of OLP, or just vomiting?
