Hey guys -

Jared mentioned on KROQ that he'd written around 120 songs for This is War & eventually gotten down to 20-30 with potential for the album. Since 12 will be on the album, I'm just curious what happens to the "leftover" songs. Do you plan to release more in the future? Save them for another album? Use them as an influence but not in their entirety? Or do you feel that when you return to songs written a while back they are no longer relevant to where you are at the time? I find that often when I look back at stuff I've written in the past, it's just not right anymore. So, just curious how you feel about that aspect of the composition process.

Thanks - RR

Edit: Oops - Apparently there's already a thread about this here ... War in the Trash Didn't notice it due to the funny topic title. Sorry for the duplication.

I love your Thread Title "leftover" songs better....I was gonna say wrap them like duck and store them in back of refrigerator.

LoL - hadn't thought of it that way. I'll have to send the guys some Tupperware. Hehe.

RR

haha like all leftovers, depending on how long they have been there it could be nourishing or something you cannot recognize.

*snort* You're making me feel like I should go clean out my fridge. Who knows - maybe I'll find a brilliant novel in there or something! Hmm.

RR

I also love the quote "leftover songs " .
Maybe they are going to freeze it all in wrap for later and when jared defosts the freezer 5 years from now and says "damn i knew i had these some where mmmm i feel a new album comming on "

Or 'Bubble and Squeak'

Defrosted songs, I wonder if they taste the same as when they were first produced? But the feeling of an album coming on may just be food poisoning.






Haha, bubble and squeak reminds of that steak crawling across the counter top in Poltergeist.

Hahahah maybe dvl that is what they can call the next album in about 2030 !!!

What chez, Poltergeist or Left Overs? Either one may have you seeing things. 2030 wow, that "soon"!
