This previously unreleased STP demo was scrapped after Brandon Lee was killed

Earlier this year, Stone Temple Pilots announced a massive reissue box set for their debut album Core.

In addition to a remastered album, it comes with lots of goodies including unreleased demos and live recordings, One of those unreleased tracks is “Only Dying,” a demo originally intended to be on the 1994 soundtrack for The Crow but was scratched after Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was killed on the movie set.

I love this song but could do without the creepy clown music around the 3:40 mark…

And I wonder if the reissue will have lyrics as to what Scott is whispering around the 3:48 mark…

The Core reissue is due out September 29.
