I wouldn't write off all the "demos" straight away because even she said that she wasn't sure which versions she should ultimately put on the album. Some of them are clearly incomplete but others could have easily been on the album.
I'm not prepared to replace the album versions with the alternate versions because I feel Rebel Heart is pretty perfect as it is. I am happy to listen to the demos in addition to the official stuff though.
I've said it before but I think she has a really great opportunity to be innovative as an artist by releasing these demos in some form. Like a "Madonna - Evolved" where she can select several specific songs and release the outtakes, alternate versions, remixes etc in one complete "package" for each and she could discuss the process of making the song and how it evolved to its final form? It wouldn't make her money necessarily but it could contribute to her "legacy". It would probably be a lot of work so I doubt she has time or if she'd really want to anyway.

LFL connection?
Not so much connection but a lot of people referenced the early house sound of LFL and that it reminded them of parts of Rescue Me.
-
Seems a bit random to reference it in an Insta post for no reason. Must be on her radar for some reason. I know a lot of people made the LFL connection early on so she might've picked up on it. Maybe a mashup?! Look forward to hearing it though if it is performed!

Just wondering if anyone who didn't listen to the demos initially has gone back and had a listen?
I listened to the unreleased tracks of which "Nothing Lasts Forever" and "God is Love" are my favorites, but I'm finally getting the chance to listen to the demo versions of the released ones. (They are on youtube!)
Surprisingly I found the demos just as good as the released versions and in only one instance (so far) better. (Illuminati).
The Devil Pray demo is pretty great and I don't mind Holy Water. Would've been happy with either version. Hold Tight demo has some better parts but some average parts so I'm divided on it right now.
Thoughts?

Finally heard the demo version!! The demo kicks ass too. Love the "cowboy western" sound to it! Both versions are pretty ace. She easily could've put both version on the album like she did for Love Spent on MDNA! Still a killer track. My top 2 with Best Night.

Her fans are becoming worse than fucking monsters. Whiny, entitled cunts. Harden up.

Dana aka whosthatgirl got a job as a Grammys seat filler just so she could try to meet Madonna. Security kicked her out when she tried to approach Madonna.
Afterwards she complained about this little girl being photographed with Madonna saying it's unfair she was allowed to take a picture with her and she wasn't. 
I know she means well, but remember when she did yoga outside M's house?
-
WOW. Can't believe how shit the demo is. Hahahahaha wtf?! It's so bad!!
-
Still my number 1 album track. LOVE IT. The beat is fucking killer and her voice is amazing. I can't get enough! Need to find the alternate version!!

Surrender to the pleasure (wanting)
When we breath in together (waiting)
It's either now or never (for you)
This feeling will take over
No sex tapes, no camera (wanting)
Just you and me together (waiting)
Repeat it like a mantra (for you)
I'm in love, I'm in love
:inlove: -
One of my favorite TV shows! I always recommend it to people!
-
How many old non single tracks has she performed on new tours. Not many. I think the likelihood of performing something like beautiful killer would be very slim.
-
Hahaha I said the same until this morning I found myself crying at Messiah. Its such a flawless album.
I think right now BS, RH and maybe Erotica are my top 3. RH is a kick ass album, sadly though it looks like it will be severely under-rated in the long run.
I wonder if Madonna even remembers the non single tracks on BS. LOL
-
It seems like the odd album out as it never got a "proper" tour. Even I'm Breathless had tracks make it on BA! She's even hit up the Evita soundtrack more!!
Inside of Me
Forbidden Love
Love Tried To Welcome Me
Sanctuary
..all kick ass tracks!!
Call me silly but you know what other song really fits in with RH? Love Don't Live Here Anymore. I've never really ahd a thing for this track but listening to how she sings it with so much emotion and to know this came out on LAV it's really strange how she was never considered a "vocalist."
-
Just wondering if anyone has gone back and had a listen after listening to RH?
It sounds so good. It is probably my favorite album or at least top 3, so I always enjoy putting it on, but it fits so great with the RH tracks. Her voice is so good on this and the tracks really hold up after 21 years!! For some reason I get the same vibe from the tracks that I do from RH. It's kind of sexy and romantic. Anyway I hope we get some more tracks on this tour from this album.
Seriously I think "A beast within" style opening montage to Sanctuary would be pretty fucking sweet. I know it would be really unlikely but Forbidden Love would also be pretty cool to hear.
Even though it's not on this album, I Want You would be pretty fucking spectacular too.
-
This is annoying as fuck.
-
It is one of her best albums. I don't care if it's not a "chart hit" I love this album so much. I am still listening EVERY day after a couple months.
-
I have the feeling that it will be released as a single featuring Drake
If only!! I love it. My favorite track on the album, but the fans don't seem to appreciate "urban" Madonna. I don't think it will be a single and I have a feeling she won't play it on tour. Maybe in an interlude but I don't think we'll get a full performance sadly. She never seems to play the songs I like the most.
-
I mis-read the question. I'm all for a limited edition re-print but not for a new book. What would be the point? She was making a statement originally. A second would be just an excuse to get naked/be controversial I feel.
-
It's ridiculous how these kind of threads make me hate people. I'm bitch slapping myself saying "Come on they are entitled to their opinions, it's just songs" but i still want you all dead.
Anyone who includes Best Night in their bottom 5 I can't take seriously.
Personally I love every song on the album but the only ones I don't listen to as much as the others is Wash All Over Me and Messiah.
-
Wow. That was actually a really great interview. You really can't ask for anything better than that. Somehow I missed the story about Joan so I'll have to relisten.
-
They are on youtube now. Not that I am promoting illegally listening to them or anything.
-
I would have included the demos but I don't know what they are to tell you the truth. But based on svperstar's list:
**Queen - 7
** Autotune Baby - 5
** Alone With You - 6
** Trust No Bitch - 8 (Could be a 10)
** Heaven - 6
** Take a Day - 10 (Should've been on the album!!! LOVE IT!)
** Two Steps Behind - 10 I really dont care if there is some reference to Gaga, its a catchy song and couldve been an EPIC Madonna "bitch" song.
** Never Let You Go - 8 Good track. Funky.
** Tragic Girl - 9
** God Is Love - 11 Shouldve been on the album. LOVE IT!
** Freedom - 7
** Score - 10 Great track. So much fun. Love it too!
** Take it Back - 8 Funky. Don't mind it.
** Revolution - 9 Catchy! I like it!
** Nothing Lasts Forever - 11 (Shouldve been a single!!!! It is one of my favorite tracks of this era.)
** Back it Up - 11 (Fucking love it!)
Have you listened to the demos post RH release?

One of my favorite RH tracks but BN is still king for me. Such a great beat to NLF!!
Also cant say I agree with the Avicii demos being "better". I much prefer the album versions simply because I find his sound already dated. Glad they made no appearance on the album proper! "Urban" Madonna all the way for me.
