Fluorescent Adolescent ! RARE Demo Version !

Out of my early Arctic Monkeys collection i'll upload all RARE demo versions of Favourite Worst Nightmare era in extraordinary quality.
Enjoy!
The music is property of Arctic Monkeys and Domino Records. I do not own this song.

[@mr_fahrenheight1728]

So, hearing the demos recently made me realize that Arctic Monkeys never got a gentler sound, they just had more producers' input

[@nicksc91]

Exactly what I thought!
Good or bad influence, what do you think?

[@mr_fahrenheight1728]

@@nicksc91 I feel like these songs work well with the more aggressive feel they pushed for. The Arctic Monkeys were young, and so was their music, and while I love hearing these demos and the gentler tones (specifically in Alex's vocals), it makes sense why these songs got the "aggro-treatment", while their future songs were allowed to be softer and pore poetic. Ultimately: a positive influence

[@nicksc91]

@@mr_fahrenheight1728 okay, in my opinion they lost their origin.
But what is to expect from a really young and inexperienced band?! They needed a helping hand.
But in my opinion James Ford is a better producer for The Last Shadow Puppets than for The Monkeys.

[@juankmatic4350]

James Ford is an absolute beast

[@konstantincvetanovic5357]

​@@nicksc91i think its good influence in a sense that it helped popularise artick monkeys, maybe bad sound wise. Tho im not sure if i would have loved this demo this much if i didn't hear the original first.

Puberty voice cracks of young Alex fits perfect to this song, that's beautiful

i wish alex didn't have so many vocal effects in fwn his voice sounds great raw

[@nicksc91]

Yeah, thx to James Ford for that.. WPSIATWIN sounded so good in live takes

[@itaintmebabe714]

I personally loved it. It captures the vibe of the album nicely

[@itsjusthusk3877]

@@itaintmebabe714 yeah it complements the album insanely well but alex's raw voice on most of the fwn tracks just sound overall better

My love.."

this version is so raw and real! absolutely love it 🫶

[@TheRealReem0h]

Jamie's parts really stand out in this one!

[@eugob90]

I remember the first time I listened to the AM on the radio, it was I bet you look good on the dance floor, when i was around 16 years old and I remember thinking omg wow I love this chaotic music. Now I'm 33 and I still play AM on a daily basis❤ my kids have mixed feelings tho😂

[@nicksc91]

Nearly the same here 🤙🏼🤩

[@rizkyanuar]

Same here, my daughter likes Fluorescent Adolescent lol

[@RabbidTheNabbit]

The chorus sounds fuller, i actually really like this version

[@the_busboy]

Oh my god I can’t decide which one I like better

Why hasn't this blown up?

Blown up where?😉

This is Alex singing like Alex 🥺💗 it’s so sweet and just !!

[@plunnec]

Thank you so much for sharing this 💚

[@Donaldkebab]

Alex sounds like he has a bit of a cold

[@bigmanjr1237]

I've found he frequently sounds like that in live recordings from this era lol

[@Unknown-ob6jr]

This is amazing!

[@oishikroy8]

whoever you are i love you for these demos thankk youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@ryukosen723]

Jeez, i love this more a bit than the studio

ahhh love this!

[@christopherlawrence6815]

Better than the album version 💯

[@braddersthemod]

Pretty sure these are from a radio session, not demos. The only actual FWN demo to leak is The Bad Thing

[@sharinglungs3226]

Seems strange to have such a long intro and other slight changes if this is a radio session which is generally for post album promoting.

[@naiko9436]

Amazing(?

[@stray_cat87]

somehow, the demo feels more authentic to the theme of the song, lovely!!

[@samirait-kaci-gf3bn]

Mmm out of tune singing nice

[@ATE-8ALL]

I find it sad that the guitar in the second verse of the song kinda feels drowned out by the drums in the official version, it gives it more of a fantatical fealing imo
