Foo Fighters' 'Million Dollar Demos' Leak And Sound Awesome!

Unfortunately, we don't have any new Foo for you, but we may have something better for the band's hardcore fans — two long-lost demos from what would eventually become their 2002 album One By One.

The tracks Come Back (above) and Have It All (below) made it on the record with a significantly different sound, so these versions are definitely worth checking out.

The boys in the band refer to songs as the "million dollar demos" because they are part of the original four-month recording session for the album, which almost tore the band apart. They were actually on the verge of breaking up until a successful concert at Coachella renewed their spirits.

One By One was finished and they haven't looked back since. A decade later, The Foo Fighters are still making chart-topping hits! Check out the second demo … AFTER THE JUMP!
