Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks: The Unreleased Demo

[CredoJones]

yeah i'm not even really a panic fan at all, BUT fuck this demo version of this song is fucking amazing. i'm so sad it was overlooked and bastardized for the album :-(

ah well, at least i can listen to it on youtube!!!! :-)

[differentpineapple]

I can't believe they cut out the 'makes me forget' part in the album. That is probably the best line of the song. Hmmph.

[ggLover87]

at 2:49 the part that goes "at least she makes me forget" just kills me, poor ryan :'(

[TheNicolettica21]

I like this one because Brendon's amazing voice isn't auto-tuned. c:

[CuteIsWhatIAimFor143]

:/ I was looking for a different demo xD

[FromDeyaWithLove]

Thank you!!! :D FINALLY! 3 I've been trying to find this forever!!!

[awashedupsterotype]

I REMEMBER THISSSS I FOUND YOU D: 3 years...looking

[trevlastwordz]

@infraball I did the same!! lol.

[RationalSuicide]

Why dd it block me when I tried to upload this song but not you :(

[NoodleKitty74]

wayyyyyyyyy betterrrr than the album version

[viper23666]

Yea this version never should have been released.... ever. The original is so catchy with a sick chorus and this is just... weird.

[PhillipMcKeever]

Holy shit this is the version I have I just now heard the album version, and it sucks so bad compared to this one

[SVondergeist]

I hate how people think that any song that got made poppier has a better demo. Youre not any cooler just because you hate pop music. The lyrics have the same meaning in both versions, and Ryan himself said that the lyrics are the base of all the songs. I actually love the album version , and I dont think that making it poppier made it worse, I love how panic! at the disco is confident enough to be able to try out a different style.

[vampgirltish]

sweet jesus perfect

[xSmiles85x]

This sounds so weird compared to the album one?!

[em114419]

I really like this version but it sounds like they really edited Brendons voice during the chorus because it was out of his range at the time. Good stuff though

[mariklee226]

Where did u get this version????? damn, I NEED IT!

[myxscalpxitches]

where on earth can i download this version?!

[lauraswordsofwisdom]

i have the album with this on it? i prefer this.

[folka18]

i love both versions so so so so so so much but in this one when he goes ''she never fixes this but at least she makes me forget'' i think that one particular line is so amazing and full of emotion and just overall beautiful that it makes me want to listen to this song over and over just to hear that one line

[iamseafoamgreen]

@folka18 I always kind of wonder if this song got poppier and peppier because Ryan wasn't comfortable with putting himself out there that much. Like, the lyrics are pretty painful (not in a bad way), but this version's music is, too, and I wonder if that made him feel uncomfortable and vulnerable? Idk, I think about these things too much. I love this version.

[folka18]

@iamseafoamgreen i dont think it changed cos of Ryan not being comfortable i just think that when they were looking over their amazing work they as a group decided that this one particular song could be made better or maybe simply easier for them to play in concert or something but i dont think it was cos of Ryan not being comfortable i think that since he was comfortable enough to write it and present it to the group then he was surely comfortable enough go all for it

[lizisc0000000l]

demo version > all

[sarahmuslima95]

i <3 this version a bunch!xD

[ipat202]

If this was on the cd it wouldve been a masterpiece

[infraball]

i'd listen to these demos whilst playing maplestory, ha.

[AwkwardMonstersTV]

I like this version wayy better! I mean, the other one is good, but this one...is amazing XD

[Sallytheragdoll101]

I used to have the demo in like fourth grade and I've loved it ever since. I can't believe P!ATD didn't put this song on the album. :) It's been like a long time since I've heard it, thanks for putting it on YouTube for the enjoyment of people all around.

[meganluvinjames]

i love thissss

[kaykayliviloo567]

i happen to like the real version better. ;) this one is too.... butt filling

[nrvn999]

this version is quite better than the official cd version

(=

[forever10907]

I have a burned version of the cd and this is version that it on it. i had not heard the other version until today... which is wweird cuz i love panic! lol

I really like this version better

[thesimplyellie]

I remember getting the album and being absolutely gutted that this version hadn't made it on there after having their demo cd

[SVondergeist]

I don't like this version as much :(

The verses are not as well-flowing. If you write like Ryan does, it's hard to make the song sound good to, and I think the album version achieved that better. Also I find that this song sounds- I don't want to say 'whiney'- maybe a bit less thought out, and I think the album version has the 'anger' element in it, turning the emotion into a great song, which really is the idea of songwriting.

[Sarinita96]

@SVondergeist The other version is NOT something I'd expect from P!ATD. It is crappy quality and the way the words flow together sucks and its so bouncy and pop like. Not at all like P!ATD. Sorry to burst your bubble but you have no clue what you're talking about.

[xjtfender94]

I love both versions. I love the drums in the newer one, and i also love the guitar in the pre-chorus. the auto-tune was eh. i love the way he sings the chorus in the demo..and the extra lines in the demo. plus the synth is amazing. all in all, both versions are good.

[squishyA]

Honestly, this version is much better than the one that made it onto the album.

[xvxmikeyxvx1]

i love this version so much.

[TheAgentkyle]

holywood should take note on here 98.7% of people like this version fo the song.

[rabidpotatoify]

The released version is my favorite song by them. This is like a shock. I could get used to it though. xD

[SteampunkEpsilon]

I don't know how I feel about this compared to the other version, but... not bad, i suppose.

[N1CKISBR00T4L]

I like both.

[MuffinPriest]

Let me state the obvious again: the first album release marked the end of what was one of my favorite bands. R.I.P. Purevolume days.

[Impre231]

Song rocks!

[lookwhosatthewindow]

I WANNA HAVE BRENDON'S BABIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shutsuji007]

I actually really dislike this version. It sounds too forced.

[GirlCCF13]

This is so much better than the other one :/ I don't really like the other version...

[riponyou907]

@GirlCCF13 I agree. Im a big Panic fan and i cant stand the other one

[Zythe]

this is my favourite version of this song; it's the one I fell in love with before A Fever came out

[awesomechicky97]

I like this better than the other one. This one has more emotion in it and it delivers the message better and it makes you want to get up and dance. c:

[brenkaryn]

THIS ONE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER ONE!!!!!!!! I HEARD THIS ONE FIRST AND I LOVE IT

[Carpface]

This version is so much more honest.

[MegaTrollinrollin]

Fuck YOU

[THEfkitten]

i had downloaded all the Fever songs before they came out on cd, so when the actual cd came out i was really dissapointed! this song, time to dance, and theres another i believe that just were sooo much better in the unreleased versions than the album versions! p!atd fan forever<3 :D

[radioactivefecesss]

patd is fucking stupid for cutting this version. game. set. match.

[AdviceFromAHipoCrite]

This versions really good. I heard there CD version first so this version sounds better :)

[Valecita483]

I've always liked this version better. When they released the CD and I listened to the new version, I was disappointed. The whole rest of the record is amazing, but this one... I just wish they'd left it as it was.

[JrgrimWoW]

Is there any way to get this in a higher quality? And where did it come from exactly if it was never released?

[DEEninetysix]

@JrgrimWoW it was a demo on their myspace in 2004 :)

[234Cooper]

I prefer this one.

I love the lyrics so much, but I don't like the whole techno-feel to the original.

[Shutsuji007]

This is one song that changed for the better.

[alkali11]

this version is just sooo much better than the one on the cd

[Gaylord767]

I like it

[Deified13thDemon]

we dislike rebecca black and detest justin bieber. R.I.P our poor ears

[terrinisawesome]

Or was it god who chokes in these situations?

[triedgex24]

Why did they remove the line "makes me forget" at 2:50 from the album version, I like that part

[TheViktorious1]

I remember first hearing this on limewire. holy shit is the demos still awesome!

[patdxforever13]

Its better than the original version but sounds slowed down

[catgoober]

I like this version soo much better (:

[TiareRose1]

better than the original

[XxXdragurlifeXxX]

Wait a minute.. I remember chatting with you.. 3 years ago o.o

[Coolcatsarecold]

demo is better than the original

[KnittedScarf]

How could they choose that shitty poppy version over this? -.- This is BRILLIANT.

[vyktorii]

@KnittedScarf ......... it's still pretty poppy, yo.

[CheeseLovingChester]

@KnittedScarf The other one's also great dude!

[Sebastianin2010]

@KnittedScarf Hadn't even heard of the other one till about 20 seconds ago. It's crap compared to this

[irinaaification]

@punkrockfreak09 what was Ryan going through?

[nick138912]

so coming from an old school panic fan who had there demo they handed out at the shows this sounds is far better then that poppy shitty remake

[Liibbyyyy]

he's straining his voice a bit too much in this version. still amazing though ♥♥♥♥♥

[leastfamousutuber]

I have this version on my IPod

[nasiramarah]

so much better than the album version. This could very well be my favorite song by them.

[KarmaWithACatch]

I prefer this version, but I think the auto-tune at the beginning of the album version is supposed to make you cringe when you hear it and not actually sound "good" (even though it never does...)

[kelakerley]

Six people couldn't offset the shakes when aiming for the 'like' button.

[TheAgentkyle]

@kelakerley up to 9 now lol

[427gyeahyeah]

this song is probably their best ever. only good one pretty much...

[Shonnna00]

Always will be one of my favorite song by Panic!...I like this version better than the album version.

[PunkRockFreak09]

I love this version and the one on the album..this one makes me feel the pain Ryan was going through at the time..and Brendon delivers it great.

[smokespiritmusic]

This is the only version of this song that I've heard.

I didn't know that it wasn't the official version of the song! I like it WAY better than the 'real' one.

[xXGraveStoneGirlXx]

@smokespiritmusic ...but this demo wasn't on the album, so how haven't you heard the official one?

[smokespiritmusic]

@xXGraveStoneGirlXx I don't know! my friend gave me the CD and it didn't have the 'real' one on it.

[MegaPashaw]

[koniitaa182]

@gaiieta123isaa

es qe es imposible no amarloooooo *___________* !!!!! ♥

[aubergined]

I like the CD version better but I really wish brendon hadn't autotuned his voice. That's what's wrong with that version...

[sarahkirky]

This was my favourite song of theirs (I heard this demo before the album was released in the UK), I was so disappointed when it wasn't on there.

[DumbActually]

First time listening to this and it's not that bad :) Nails has always been one of my faves off Fever though but I think I like the studio version better. Just my opinion. Not hating or anything, I could NEVER hate Panic! <3 :)

[Mstinaredrock]

loved this song my 8th grade summer b4 i got into highschool 2006 2007 i was always playing in great post <333

[ZombiebrainsZombie]

I like this better than the original hahaha

[Henata0]

Omg.....I've never heard this.....its like when Daughtry took Lady GaGa to school when he sang Poker Face......I'll never listen to her sing that again.....but Panic!, no no, Brendon....should never, EVER, EVER, EVER IN LIFE! Ever, use audiotune....IT F*CKS EVERYTHING UP!!! He sounds like an angel..... :'( *sniffle* stupid audiotuner made me miss out on this goregeous sound! *Sniffle* *Sniffle*

[princesadelaos]

I've been looking for this one, I like it better than the album one. Anyone know where I can find it?

[rockybabiix]

I love this version, but the album version is a little more catching for some reason.

And I don't particularly like the chorus in this one..

[thedoctorsfeziscool]

I heard this song first, when I looked up the actual version I was like "WHAT IS THIS?"

[3SarahBee]

@thedoctorsfeziscool exact same as me!! i can't listen to the actual version, it just sounds wrong..

[CroBabe0978]

I like this one way betterrrrr <3

[maddiekaterox]

Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks has me torn.

In the album version I love the bass during the chorus, but I hate the auto-tune.

In this one, well, I love all of it. But I wish the bass was in it.

[sarabear461]

5 people just don't understand that the only thing you dislike on youtube is rebecca black.....

[CraftingWithFrannie]

@sarabear461 And Justina Bieber lol :P

[ChyllakaPhantomMoto2]

the chorus doesnt feel right with this beat but the verses wouldve been better with this beat tho maybe they shouldve mixed this version n that 1 together.

[matthewsomethingteen]

im used to this version and like this best

[juniorkickstars]

i had this on my ipod, my ipod got wiped so i had it no longer, tried to find it, couldnt find it, found it, happiest day of my life >:D

[kristinkomatta]

Dude when I downloaded this album online I got this song first and i've loved it since then and then when I got a new computer the album got lost so I had to redownload it and it had the actual version that's autotuned to shit on it and im like "the fuck is this?" It's also the same with a few other songs like 'Time to Dance' and so on. Glad I figured out these were the demos.

[natsbeach49]

honestly i like the new p!atd and the old 1...

thats my opinion

[DontSigh]

I just listened to their new album... Yeah... There are some good songs. It's just not Panic at the disco anymore. It's Brendan and Spencer and they're doing a lovely job. I just really miss lyrics like these. I miss Ryan's lyrics. Ryan's lyrics would take my breath away, much like these do. I actually prefer the album version, though, I think it's more polished.

[panickingrabbit]

"Nails for Breakfast" was always one of the VERY few tracks on Fever that I just couldn't really... love, you know? Absolutely never disliked it, but never loved it like "Build God", "Time to Dance"," There's a good reason" and so on. But this version is really changing my mind, absolutely love it! Maybe a BIT too pop for my taste, but still freakin' AWESOME, absolutely love the verse!

[patdxforever13]

@panickingrabbit Same here! I didn't ever really care for Nails or Camisado

[bobertlegg]

@panickingrabbit u probably woulda appreciated it more if u were ever addicted to perscription pills...

[panickingrabbit]

@bobertlegg it's the more the melody of the song i'm referring to. The lyrics I've always loved. I adore everything Ryan Ross has ever written.

[bobertlegg]

@panickingrabbit oh is it ryan or brendon who wrote the music in the first album?

[moviecrazed11]

@bobertlegg ryan

[MomijiYuri]

This is the version on my iPod, and when I went to youtube the song, I was thoroughly disappointed to find the other version. I much prefer this one.

[jhur514]

i used 2 own this!!!!! i deleted it on accident and i love this version 1000000 times better although panic is awesome please if any1 knows how to download this version again let me know i need 2 get it again!!!

[mrjakethesnake8464]

This one is much better

[SuperLalaprincess]

i like this one waay better even tho it makes me wanna cry

[rydeana123]

i LOVE this ine and the real one

acutally i just love Panic! At The Disco and im so happy there back!!!! :) <3

i just wish ryan and jon were backkkk

but we still and Brendon and Spencer!!!!!

[MeredithCrisp]

love it :)

[Thatsbitchen211]

This much is much better <33

[AlessiaEchelon4ever]

Bella ♥

[nikkymonoxide]

@AlessiaEchelon4ever who the fuck is bella, if your on about twilight why comment on here?

[AlessiaEchelon4ever]

@nikkymonoxide Hell, NO! "Bella" means BEAUTIFUL in italian!

I thought saying beautiful in my language was more heartfelt.

God, I absolutely hate bella from twilight, not even comparable to panic at the disco.

[GoregasmXx]

i love this song <3 and i liked this whole album

but i never understood the point of this album cover...females with random legs...?

[JERRYzz182]

There both way diffrent!!!! wtf this should just be a diffrent song with a diffrent title

[jangle116]

this is the first version i heard, and i like this one WAY better

the beat, the way he sings it...its perfect <3

[itstheesaruhh]

BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION

[aesccrguy2]

Just like this one, the demos for Time to Dance and Camisado were also better than the album versions.

[listentovictory]

this version shits on the album version.. enough said

[MissyParamore]

this is the one I have on my ipod.. i seem to enjoy it much more than the other.

[fivedifferentvlogs]

@MissyParamore same here.

[MissyParamore]

@fivedifferentvlogs :P sick

[Deathorglory95]

@MissyParamore I know, i clicked on 1 and i was like WTF! it kinda sucked!! LOL

[MissyParamore]

@Deathorglory95 yer.. i have got the other one now.. i think they are two completely different songs lol

[xXskyebabyXx]

Hm, I'm torn. This is my favorite song off of Fever, so I love the released version to no end. Not sure how I feel about this version because it's SO DIFFERENT. :/

[castellanossaidy]

i hate this version i like the other one

[narwhals4life]

this one is better it is easier to sing to :P

[ewyssa143]

His voice is so pure.

[MsCellaneous23]

I heard this after I heard the album version. Many many years after, I like them both the same.

[EltilHktib]

heard this when i was at work, epic track

[javiera95]

good such a loong time without listenting to this version! i heard this version before the album one... and i have always liked this one the most :B

[Sreyam1986]

Jack Conte did a better version of this song.

[DreamMyBeautiful]

this is a LOT better than the other version... not that the other one is bad or anything.

[monkeyfleece]

this is soooooo much better than the released version!!!!!!!!

[DarrenC1991]

Not to be one of them 'OMG I THINK I BROKE AND RAPED THE REPLAY BUTTON LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLL' people, but, I lost this version of the song, so glad I found it on here.

So, I haven't broke the replay button, I've just used it a hell of alot :D

[banditgrl]

This song stayed on repeat my freshman year of college! <3

[jikia08]

omfg i love this version

[animekitten789]

album version kinda sucked -_-

[DyingOnTheFloorxx]

I like the album version

[idx730]

Thank you for posting this....so awesome!

[sardoniclysane]

This is so the best version of this song.

[Baloonsnufsaid]

Love This One. And The Other One. I Don't Know Why I'm Capitalizing Every First Letter In This Comment.
