The demo version of Stone Sour‘s track “Cardiff” emerges online today as the latest in the band’s ongoing airing of their early vaults. Guitarist Josh Rand offered:
“Sometime in 2005, I stopped over to James‘s house to listen to some of his ideas. I was intrigued by this 8 minute jam that he had recorded and I felt there was a song there. I asked him if I could work on it at my house where I spent two days arranging the tracks.
When I was done we had the foundation for the song Cardiff. Corey wrote the original lyrics and sang on the demo a couple months later.”
The final version of the song would later appear on the band’s platinum-certified sophomore album, “Come What(ever) May“.
