RELEASED? NEVER HEARD DEMOS:
Even In Death (Piano-Vocal Version)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, the Even In Death (Piano-Vocal Version) was, according to the poster, never released. In context, the whole post talks about how each song relates to another and is connected to every Evanescence work: The End to Solitude, Understanding on both EVA EP and SA EP, Origin with beginning quotes from Whisper (EP) and Understanding (EP), Imaginary, My Immortal, and Where Will You Go being on Origin ('second' versions of their first EP counterparts, which is where the quote for Even In Death comes in.), Anywhere having the Where Will You Go (Reprise) at the end of it, Eternal capturing the 'essence' of Away From Me, Lies (Remake), and Field of Innocnece, and Fallen having third new (album) versions: of My Immortal, Imaginary and Whisper.

Even In Death (Choir Version)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, the Even In Death (Choir Version), was suppose to be the stuido version of their live (2003) performances of Even In Death. It makes you wonder why Even In Death was chosen to be on their 2003 early set-list if it wasn't going to be on Fallen. (EID Live in Cologne wasn't even broadcasted in German TV because it wasn't on Fallen.) As a result of mismanaged p2p and bootleg creations, people at first believed the Even In Death (Rough Mix) that was on the Not For Your Ears Bootleg/2002 Demos was a demo of EID. However, this was just a bad attempt at the bootlegers trying to put all of Evanescence's 'unheard of' material in one CD and trying to make EID seem 'demo-ish' by raising the vocals/making the guitar's rougher/longer or shorter/all that jazz.

Farther Away (Drum Intro Version)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, the Farther Away (Drum Intro Version) is suppose to be the studio version of their live (2004) performances of Farther Away. At one time the poster had the song, however as a result of a computer crash, the poster lost the song.

Understanding (11 Minute Version)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, the Understanding (11 Minute Version) is suppose to be the ORIGINAL version of Understanding before the EVA EP version. According to EvBoard, however, this was a mistake on an e-Bay item that put the tracklisting for the original Ascension of the Spirit on Understanding. (So Understanding was said to have 11:48).

C-Sharp (Forever You Demo)INFO: This would be the (John's Vocals Only) original demo fo Forever You. It's called C-Sharp because that's the guitar tuning for the song. The story goes that John was playing this and Amy + Ben liked it so they 'Evanescence-fied' the song and wanted it on Fallen but didn't make the album. It's an outtake of Fallen and, according to some fans, the chours resembles Bring Me To Life. Some claim the (new) song to be called Forever Gone, Forever You; others claim it to JUST be Forever Gone or JUST Forever You. Either way, the posts that talk about this are no longer on EvBoard.

My Immortal (Daredevil-Movie Grand Piano Version)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, the My Immortal (Daredevil-Movie Grand Piano Version) is in accordance to the editing process that My Immortal went through in the movie. Some claim the song on the SOUNDTRACK is different than the Fallen Version of My Immortal (louder vocals, better piano, etc.) however, the version that is actually in the movie has a grand piano in the beginning that leads into the version that was on the soundtrack (i.e. the Fallen Version). One question would be WHY did the Daredevil people think it necessary to re-record the intro (with the grand piano) only for it to flow into the Fallen Version. Was the Fallen Version's intro not . . . err, grand enough for the funeral scene?

October (Non-Acoustic Version)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, some claim that the October version we have is a 'studio acoustic' version, not unlike the Understanding (Acoustic) one. This was made worse by the Fallen (Brazilian) 2CDs Bootleg which had October listed as 'October (Acoustic)'. Therefore, it is thought that maybe there is a 'studio' non-acoustic version of October. Some claim this to not be possible, since a regular 'acoustic' version of October would not have dual-vocals and, thus, the version of October that we have must be what they wanted as the original.

1999 Live Demos: Exodus (v2)/Where Will You Go (v2)/Lies (Pre-Origin Demo)INFO: With the advent of the 1999 live recording, some on the YouTube comments and elsewhere (fourms) have begun to claim that their might (or 'should' xD) be a studio version of this Exodus which has guitar and the lyrics to the beginning of Missing at the end - just like the live version. The same with the Pre-Origin Version of Lies; most likely, this version is a demo of what was on Origin with: a drum intro, no-operatic intro and Ben's vocals (no bridge, extended guitar outro). Also the drum intro of Where Will You Go which plays before the organ would, in theory, be another demo originating from the 1999 Live Set.

Fallen 2001-2002 Demos: My Last Breath (v2)/Hello (v2)/Taking Over Me (v4)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, almost every song from the 2001-2002 demos, that was on Fallen, has a secondary version to go along with it. Bring Me To Life has two, Everybody's Fool has two, Haunted has four, Tourniquet has three, Imaginary has two, Taking Over Me has two and so on, therefore why should My Last Breath, Hello (although there might be a reason as to why this would not have more than one), Whisper, and Going Under (which took long enough to find the FIRST one) not have a secondary version as well? Also, the Taking Over Me (v4) was said to have been found on the MLB forums and was a more 'electronic-techno' version of the v2 that was found at a (p2p/torrent) site along with multiple other demos. Somehow it was deleted and could not be found again. The poster claimed that the song was NOT a remix. Secondary versions of Going Under, Whisper, Missing, Imaginary (third) can be found in the Making Of Fallen Demos section (below).

Bring Me To Life (Wake Me From Dreaming - Save Me From Nothing Demo)/Bring Me To Life (Other Demos)/Bring Me To Life (Piano Ballad Demo)INFO: According to the Capital FM Radio Interview with Amy + Ben 06-11-03 (nighttime), there were multiple versions of Bring Me To Life in which they had to rearrange some things over, and over, and over again. One in paticular Amy did an acapella which she sung 'Wake me from dreaming/save me from nothing/bring me to life'. One version of Bring Me To Life (out of all the multiple demos) is claimed to be a piano ballad.

The Making of Fallen Demos: Going Under (v2)/Going Under (v3)/Everybody's Fool (v3)/Imaginary (v3)/Missing (v2)/Taking Over Me (v3)/Whisper (Post-O' Verona, No Choir - String Outro)INFO: Among the many forums that my notes takes info from, some people have watched the Making of Fallen and listened to the songs that were being played. Much like the controversy of the Going Under (Demo), which proved to EXIST, some claim that the Missing played in the Making Of Fallen (with the prominent percussion xylophone like instrument during the choruses), the Imaginary played in the Making of Fallen (a fusion of v2 like music (no strings or choir) with Fallen's lyric structure), and the Whisper played in the Making of Fallen (No choirs, just David's keyboards with Amy vocalizing in the end). THANKS TO
bfdx for pointing out that Going Under (v2) can be heard in in the beginning of the Making of Fallen video. Notice the differences between that demo and the one we have - see
bfdx's quote below. Double A's master list (last quote) is especially helpful to figure out what we don't have. Play special attention to that quote!

Fallen InstrumentalsINFO: On the Anywhere But Home DVD, many instrumentals from Fallen were played: Going Under (which was released under the Going Under DVD,) Everybody's Fool (which was released under the Everybody's Fool Single), Bring Me To Life (under the Rock Band Multi-Tracks) and the unreleased: Tourniquet, Haunted, Farther Away, Imaginary and Whisper. Some assume that since two (three) of the Fallen Instrumentals were released, the others played during the ABH DVD are somewhere as well. PS: Whatever happened to the Making of Everybody's Fool
? And as a side note,
THIS beginning part has a nice little remix of Everybody's Fool. Shall we call it the Loop Mix?
And who doesn't love the COLORED version of My Immortal (ala Making Of).

The Open Door InstrumentalsINFO: Much like the Fallen Instrumentals, many The Open Door Instrumentals can be heard throughout the 'Making Of's' videos. None of The Open Door Instrumentals have been released, although these have been partially shown in the videos: The Only One, Good Enough, All That I'm Living For, and Snow White Queen. PS: after watching the CMWYS Making Of, I like the version with Amy blowing Oliver a kiss rather than a finger to the lips like she does in the actual video. Note that Call Me When You're Sober and Lithium instrumentals both were released in the Rock Band Multi-Tracks thing.

The Open Door Demos: Call Me When You're Sober (Original Solo)/Cloud Nine (Original Lyrics)/All That I'm Living For (Original Lyrics)/Together Again (Piano-Vocal)/Good Enough (No Intro)/The Only One (No Duck)INFO: Originally, the The Only One (DS Remix) was thought to be the demo of The Only One but this was proven untrue by the creator of the DS Remixes. Throughout the release of The Open Door, many 'merged' mixes between the karaoke instrumentals and the album versions have been leaked on Youtube with the claim of being the demos. These are also fake. The Open Door demos have been talked about, throughout The Open Door's history. It is said that the Call Me When You're Sober (Demo) used that line as it's pre-chours and had a different guitar arrangement/no guitar arrangement to which Wind-Up protested. The Only One's original name was Tuna Afternoon after Amy and Terry creating a tuna casserole while creating the song. According to the VH1 interview, there are many lyrics which are NOT apart of the actual songs, people claim these lyrics to be apart of the demos. The site of the creator of the Evanescence font use to have The Open Door lyrics all over it and some had lyrics which didn't appear on any song making people believe that they are apart of the B-Sides. In addition, let us not forget the Together Again (Demo) which has the Good Enough intro and the Good Enough (Demo) which does not have the intro from the album version.

Evanescence LP InstrumentalsINFO: Like the Fallen Instrumentals and The Open Door Instrumentals, the Evanescence LP also has instrumentals that have yet to be released (the only one so far is My Heart is Broken, which was released on the UK Promo Single and What You Want, under the Rock Band Multi-Tracks thing.) We have New Way To Bleed, as seen in the Making Of the album's promo pictures; and many are seen on the DVD Special (The Other Side, Sick, and The Change).

Evanescence LP Demos: My Heart Is Broken (Harp Intro)/Lost In Paradise (Piano-Vocal)/Made Of Stone (Lillywhite Demo)/Swimming Home (Lillywhite Demo)/Disappear (Piano-Vocal)/A New Way To Bleed/Take CoverINFO: This category would consist of the Lillywhite Demos and the EV LP Demos. These demos have yet to be released, even though many (MANY) people ask for them (not like that has ever had an effect before). Some of these demos (Made of Stone (Lillywhite), Swimming Home (Lillywhite) were re-made to their EV LP counterparts. Other songs we gather from the TwitVids that they differed slightly from what we have now (Disappear (Piano Version) having different lyrics and being slower; A New Way To Bleed (note that the one on the album is JUST called New Way To Bleed, so the "A" NWTB is the distinction of the demo) with the piano bridge which has the piano instead of the harp during the "freedom" part (with no annoying backing-vocals either). And still, other songs we learn different things about from interviews (My Heart is Broken (Harp Intro), which has the beginning on harp; Lost In Paradise (Piano-Vocal), which does NOT have the band involved.) The Lillywhite Twitvids are also mysterious (1:38 AM and Another Piece of the Puzzle). It should be noted that we still don't fully know what 1:38 AM and Another Piece of the Puzzle were - despite Amy muttering something in 1:38 AM, she states she isn't singing any vocals (I always thought it may have been the MOS Lillywhite Demo myself, but I'm open to it being other things).
