    I'll tell you what the band SHOULD do...they should tell Lillywhite he can play it and then Tuesday night after giving Lillywhite an afternoon and a really cool moment with the fans, Dave and Stefan should both tweet a direct download of a demo version of the song like they tweeted the release of FTWII.

    You want to REALLY be popular with the fans in the off-season? Do something like that.

    Don't steal Lillywhite's thunder. Let him "debut" it. Then release it for us all to download.

    That would rule.

    That will never happen.

    That idea is too great to actually come to fruition.

    And yeah, there's no way to keep it under wraps at this point.

    I know it will never happen, but if they DID, there is literally ZERO downside. They were never going to release JUST Machead. It was going to be on a compilation/best of the rest/"Rest of What's Around" type compilation someday or a deluxe version of BTCS.

    Let's do the math:

    Only hardcore fans care about Machead.
    Hardcore fans will STILL buy whatever physical release Machead is placed on because it will undoubtedly contain other unreleased material

    So, they would NOT lose money if he played it. And they would NOT lose money if they just threw it online somewhere for download for a day or two.

    AND, they would gain a TON of good will with hardcore fans. TONS. It would be one of the coolest, most fan-friendly things they have ever done.

    AND, some fans are already a bit irked at how they handled (didn't handle) the Europe release.

    Why not?

    Again, they won't do it, but they would literally have NOTHING to lose in doing so.

    Absolutely. There's not a person here whose decision on whether or not to buy a B-sides comp down the road will change whether or not they hear it next Tuesday, so let's go!

    exactly.

    Hence the whole Roi almost leaving the band situation (or what we think we know about that situation).


    I really hope this song makes it out.

    Quoted for truth! I would pre-order said B-sides right now without any release date published, even if all the B-sides eventually leaked out.

    you know when you're obsessed when...

    you consider taking an afternoon off from work in order to hear some unfinished b-side that was trashed over a decade ago. (internet radio streams are blocked at my work).

    I think snakemoney is our Jake..

    From the Twitter -

    from snakemoney - @sillywhite I had a chance to hear MacHead this summer, nice tune. More McCartney than Radiohead to me. Nice lyrics about your tapeworm.

    from sillywhite - @snakemoney i disagree, our version is pretty out there, although i agree the melody is Macca...

    Someone must tape this somehow for those you won't be able to catch it! If it even happens. I think you're all getting too excited for nothing. If it was such a great song then they would have kept it. Dave wouldn't just scratch a good song idea. Either that or it was turned into a different song.

    It might be a letdown. I'd almost guarantee. Just like when The Beatles Carnival of Light is released.

    Nothing can withstand this hype.

    And I don't care at all.

    I'll just be happy to hear it. Even if it's lousy.

    There's a chance. Someone asked about it on Lillywhite's web radio show yesterday. Lillywhite said he had it on cassette somewhere in a box at home. He posted to Twitter that there would be more DMB talk next week. He tweeted today that he found Machead and "Will keep you posted..."

If it was such a great song then they would have kept it. Dave wouldn't just scratch a good song idea. Either that or it was turned into a different song.
    They finished the album before they finished the song, according to Boyd.

    I don't care if it doesn't live up to the hype. I'm just excited to hear this rarity from DMB's golden era, if it even gets air time.
