Pez Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Well seeing LP news is running a little slow at the moment, I thought I'd bring this up. Today while listening to Nova 96.9 here in Sydney, the host announced "Now here is Linkin Park's new single called Blackbirds". Well now as you know, the song was released just for the 8 Bit Rebellion game but now what confuses me is how do the radio get a hold of this when it was made just for the game? Also kind of ironic is that radio stations can get a high quality version, yet us fans haven't even gotten a non-ripped (from the game) version released by the band. So what are everyone's thoughts for this and has anyone else heard the song on TV or radio or anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyonizr Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 My friend also told me that a radio station in Yogyakarta (Indonesia) has played Blackbirds several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucre06 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I will be glad if in our country by radio, I will hear a song Blackbirds (I do not see in it anything bad ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmu_hardron Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 dude are u kiddin? i give 100% that they played same mp3 extracted from the game that everyone have. and besides, how could u tell the difference if this was played on radio? they dont use super hq streams, you know.

Chesterchaz Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 That's a surprise. Don't even think LP wants it to be a Radio single, but who knows. Either they're just playing the MP3 that's floating around or they got an actual Radio Promo, what would be good for us if it leaks (desperate for a higher quality version), but I kinda doubt it. Anyway, I think I only listened to that song like 5 times yet, that tops 'Not Alone' by 4 plays though, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_master Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I guess they played the song without Mike's rap at the beginning, something like a Radio edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePretender Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 The radio misses LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwhisker Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 A Radio Promo would be great, because we could get a lossless version. I hope they're not just playing the crappy MP3 that's floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[NiKmaN] Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 would be pretty funny and kinda embarassing if they use the ripped mp3-version haha. A radiopromo CD would be awesome, atlhoug I doubt LP would send out a song which is written to get people to buy 8BR. Why would they reveal the song to the public if they want them to unlock it in the game as a special treat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I wish we (fans) could get a HQ version of Blackbirds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelthless Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) QFT! Same here. I feel like I was too hyped for this song, and I didn't get as much as I wanted. Across the Line ftw. It is a 'true' LP song that never will get old. Edited May 27, 2010 by feelthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maik_gianino Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I heared Blackbirds in Uruguayan Radios too but i think that is not a big new... Also i heared Live In Texas the full concert in the same Radio they speak about the whole LP's history and in the final they put Blackbirds the 8-Bit Rebellion version, with Mike's part at the beginning...

It is a 'true' LP song that never will get old. NOW THIS is a dang QFT, I love Across The Line and think it's one of the best songs they have ever written. There is so much stuff in ATL that's not in any other LP song....very very good song that hasn't ever gotten old on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnkA Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 heard it on the radio down here about a week after it was released, seemed a bit early to start playing it on air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yeh seeing alot of you guys have heard it played, I wonder if LP Did release it as a radio single. What's next, the video will get MTV time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I haven't heard it in the 10 seconds of radio I've listened to in the past year. So I can't say anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashwhisker Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a non "ripped" version... original file from the game But that's still like 128 kbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 But that's still like 128 kbps. my point, I worked for a local radio station for a bit and they always get high quilty versions, it would be shit if they used the 128 ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
