When I was in bands, I always liked the demo best.

- Agnes Obel

I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.

- Ahmed Best

My demo was terrible, I sounded like a chipmunk. I was so young.

- Bruno Mars

At fourteen, I started sending out demo tapes.

- LL Cool J

I had been writing songs for other people for a while, and I made a demo and I put it on my Myspace, which Perez Hilton found and blogged about on his site.

- Natalia Kills

I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.

- Nuno Bettencourt

In 1980, I moved to Chicago, and I recorded demo tapes for my friends' bands, and in 1981, the first Big Black record - the first thing I did that was an actual record.

- Steve Albini

If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal.

- Tom Waits
