Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand recently revealed to Billboard that the band are planning to release a demo or alternate version of the band's tracks every week throughout 2020, and the first of those releases has come in the form of a raw 'Get Inside' demo version which can be heard below.
The track is the opener from their 2002 self-titled debut - a song which Rand says "started it all":
“January 1, 2000. The first day of the new millennium.
It was a homecoming show for Slipknot, and as Corey & myself sat at his grandma Thelma’s house waiting to leave for the show that night, we played each other music that we had separately been working on.
These were songs that he had written outside of Slipknot, and songs that I had recorded at home on a 4 track. After we listened to all of the tracks, we decided that we needed to record these songs at SR Studios in Des Moines during his time off from touring. These sessions took place over the next year and became the Project X/SuperEgo demo.
Most of the songs from those sessions ended up on the first Stone Sour album. The goal was not to have any musical boundaries; to play whatever we wanted regardless of what people might think.
Here is the first version of Get Inside, the song that started it all."
