12 year old song

[SMASHedTHEignition]

There are those unused songs laying around?

There’s a song and I don’t want to get into it but we’ve been holding it back for probably 12 years. I think it’s such a great strong song but we just haven’t figured out how to make it sound worthy of an Offspring record and fit somehow.

Sorry if this has been posted before, i just read the interview then and i thought this was kinda cool, curious will they ever release it

it can be pass me by...or not

i spose it could be, they didnt use it on splinter because it was to heavy and didnt fit the album

i think this mos def is pass me by. Splinter is 9 years old by now (which would kinda fit into this song's "timeline") and that's when we learned about Pass Me By. Noodles stated that they've been working on AIHLIY since the last album, so I'm afraid we won't be hearing Pass Me By anytime soon.

In 20 years of recording, I'm sure they have an entire backlog of song ideas and even songs nearly finished. I know the Used said when they were brainstorming for their new album, they had like 60 song ideas that they worked on.

Worthy of an Offspring record??? And FIT SOMEHOW? Seriously???
What are they worried about? Theres nothing they could release that would surprise me anymore. Id take Country, Jazz, Classical or even Doo wop over cruising california.

Wow 12 years? They've had a great song for 12 years and haven't released it yet? I want. I must have. B-side? Bonus? In any way?

12 years seems like CO1 demo.

They could have PMB since 2000, but I think AIHLIY is PMB, he said at least the last album, but could be sooner. PMB was considered for RFRG so it's not clear.

But, it could be the other way around, AIHLIY would be one of RFRG's 24 demos and PMB would be even CO1 demo or early Splinter demo.

Also, I remember some interview with Dexter and he said that there were not many additional demos in 90s. They had always gone for around 12 songs and worked on them hard.

Back in '98/99 a board member (who'll remain nameless unless he wants to be revealed) told me that there existed a song from the Ignition sessions. I'd never heard of this before (and I was a pretty damn hardcore fan back then), and it just seemed much too good to be true. After a bit of pestering, he suggested the song title - Mission From God.

Imagine my glee when the song finally came out, especially given how good it was.

Anyway, if I have a point, it's that I really hope this 12 year old song, and any others they might have tucked away, make it out. I'm sure it will!
