Alkaline Trio - Blue In The Face (Electric) [Demo]

[SuperDawg2010]

I've had this song loaded on a memory card for years. My brother had put on a bunch of alkaline trio songs and Id heared this one. Unfortunately, the song said unknown title on it so I had no idea what it was called but I liked it. And now I found it!!

[1q1q42]

this is good, but being more of an acoustic fan, i gotta go with the acoustic version, this is still really good. probly the best band ever!!!

[ofrageandlove1039]

*this version

[ofrageandlove1039]

I really like the new Damneisa version, it's a mix of version and the original

[xkevinc]

@ofrageandlove1039

Since when? All they did was add bass and drums to the acoustic version and made it slower and longer.

[ofrageandlove1039]

@xkevinc I just meant that it was done with a full band.

[mrmattstereo]

your coffin or mine?

[WeThreeBearsTube]

heard both versions live. the best version was matt playing acoustic til halfway through then then dan and derrek coming in and ending all electric and epic and shit. yessss.

[Greazyjaypeazy]

Those that want to hear this version live have CLEARLY never heard the acoustic version live. Trust me - this version WILL NOT give you goosebumps live.

[kantosiuk]

Sitting on the couch-album version, driving down winding mountain roads- this version. Thanks for the upload!

[ESP500]

way better than the original.

[kylewagoner]

This song is much better in 6/8. Just doesn't work as well in 4/4.

[nofxmike06]

@kylewagoner I have to agree with you.6/8 for this song just flows better.

[23escher]

idk if they were doing this one 3/4 like they play the acoustic version it'd be cool too although it's cool to hear the song like this. but thats the main difference other then electric/acoustic this song is normally played in 3/4 not 4/4

[spoodle2486]

This is so cool...but i still like the orignal better. I wish there was a way i could get this song.

[heathy020184]

I love both versions of the song, you cant go wrong with alkaline trio though

[dummassattack11]

I love at the end, how it drags on "You're Coffin or Mine?" in the orig. it just cuts off. BADASS UPLOAD

[thesuffering92]

I like this version better. But the acoustic version is good too.

[kablammy1]

This did make its way to one of the EPs that came out just after the actual album, but i'm not sure which one

[UnosDosTres]

great song about coke :) prefer this to the acoustic.

[dummassattack11]

@UnosDosTres

This song isn't about coke LOL. NOOB!

[caviano]

@dummassattack11 this song is 80% coke references..

[hollywood4130]

shit! I only thought this was only an acoustic song. I love it!

[alk3adrienne]

man i will LOVE this MOTHERFUCKING til i'm blue in the face. i love how matt sings "over and over again", it's perfect.

[RaceStar014]

best band ever

[minorthreat7798]

this song is great! any version!

[PatrickTheHattrick92]

woah never heard this version before. i like it

[afab232]

very cool

[dudecocam]

This version rocks, but the acoustic one is way better...more truthful

[caviano]

yup up

[okxdad]

i dig this way harder than the acoustic

[Umbagog11]

Sweet version... but I agree with NoahATHO... it's fitting as an acoustic being the last song of Good Mourning.

[NoahATHO]

It's pretty sweet electric, but acoustic it's just the perfect way to finish off Good Mourning.

[ShadowmakerProd]

Does anyone know where I can find the Fatally Yours techno demo from GM? It wasn't in the download.

[vesago138]

this song and Lyrics are great - it doesnt matter how they play it .... electric / acoustic / orchestra - idk - who gives a damn. its lyrically amazing.

[afflicted1226]

i wonder if if there is a lyric video in in the process of trying to learn this on acoustic and sing also so let me know thanks

[virgilcain]

it is, but this one's bouncier... happier.. and it just doesn't have the finality at the end the way the solo acoustic doesn. Great way to end an album, set list, or night with the girl.

[ZoneSevenZZ]

after learning and playin the original acoustic version 100's of times, i keep meaning to learn this version on guitar. I can't imagine it would be too different. but finding time to do that is a ball ache.

[punkrokblue]

the song needs to be acoustic. the lyrics sound so much more honest when put to acoustic. I do like the sound of this version from a music point of view. but yeah over all it has more affect in acoustic form......wow i must really be hammered, im crapping on a lil.....lol.

[ruzzydizzle74]

yo thanks a lot for that link to those demo tracks

[delawarejoel]

yeah they actually put this song only on the B side of the "We've Had Enough" 45rpm single

its mastered a bit better there tho

[xxixxlikexxchickenxx]

I like it! But the acoustic is simply amazing. I'm glad they stuck with the acoustic.

[RickyxXxRicky]

agreed

[ShartimusPrime]

Jings! I never knew this existed! Always wanted to know what it would sound like.

[ohcalcutta81]

I've always really liked this demo version. Not as much as I like the acoustic one but this is still good.

[Laurenownsyourface]

i guess being so used to it being acoustic it's kinda weird to hear it like this. but it sounds really good

[Nikko92]

this isint me playing/singing it,this is demo from Good Mourning.

[chrissie2127]

@Nikko92 I bet you wish you were singing this, don't you? :P

[lobzunpreston]

I allways wondered why they never played it live like this.

[Nikko92]

Yea,i really wish they would play it like this live,it would be awesome.

[veryhotpotatoes]

simple, because truth is live!

[lobzunpreston]

indeed it is veryhotpotatoes

[thebigdizzlewv]

Do you think you could provide a link to download this? I know I could just rip the audio from this source, but that never sounds very good.

Thanks...

[SparetheJesters]

this is a realy nice version of the song!!! love the acoustic version though!!!!!!!!!!

[agoldcoin]

Acoustic is better, but this still rocks

[2ub4l8]

you right , I have it!

[Nikko92]

Yea,I'll put a new downlaod link up soon,theo ld one expired and im lazy,haha.

[andr00pizzle]

This version always seemed a little more aggressive to me, and it works out pretty well. My favorite version changes with my mood though

[VINCIENTDESTRUCTO]

Oh SHYTZ i've jsut now heard this version..I totally suck! It's PIMP!

[astronaut09]

this is such a good version

i can't decide which i like more

it's tricky.

[GirlSproket]

I like this version a lot better than the album version. Is that wrong?

[alkalinextrioxconz]

i like the acoustic version better, personally, i just think it gives the song a better feel

[walshybaby06]

this is cool, its a demo thats why it sounds wierd dude

[Nikko92]

Hey,I know alot of people watch this video,so if anyone out there is going to the NYUC show,and is willing to sell me 1 or 2 ticekts for a reasonable price,i'd appreciate it.I was gonig to get my tickets tomorrow only to realise today that it sold out.if anyone can help me out,i'd appreciate it.

[Nikko92]

*NYC

[RAZALAS92e]

Oh, wow! :D

[lizike]

i wonder if a guitar tab for this is out

[asonjdj]

Yeah, this is great and i was lucky enough to get this and most other good mourning demos off lime wire years ago. The lead is played almost exactly like the main riff just in a higher position, its really quite easy. Its a very typical skiba progression.

[dieffenbach12jeff]

Well yeah there is. Its pretty much the same as the acoustic version, just you know, different. haha.

[jadda9181]

me neither!! Noice

love it

[thebigdizzlewv]

I had no idea this even existed...

[iainc]
