what's the best FZ song? talking about only drums btw. btw Rob kicks Colin's ass i love his unique style, the perfect human drum machine.

for TEM seems now he's using the 1st version, and not the one from the drum play through.

Those 2000s CGI effects that were mostly shot on standard TV cameras are the worst at aging. I don't think these were upscaled (hoping so).

First time I found out about SOB I thought I was listening to 2 black dudes (at least Tak ended up being one) rapping. I wasn't used to seeing white rappers, aside of EM, being associated with the genre 20 years ago but I'm glad I discovered them. Same timeline when the band also had a lot to deal with the new people on WB. I felt bad for everyone involved, minus the label. I assumed LP would have enough power at the time to handle the situation but as we all found out it wasn't the case sadly.

FYI And One/And Two has zero differences that we could tell from the final. It's just a literal track split. Not even a fade out and fade in. Instead of that, add And One (Live Version in the Studio) or something - the version they played live surely exists on a demo CD somewhere.

No worries! I feel you. I think we're saying the same thing different ways. I find the technical details and the differences interesting.

Oh... now I understand For some reason I was too much thinking about the original version and that those "additional parts" in it are zoomed in and I was trying to prove they are not (wtf). Sorry my bad.

Yeah, I follow. That's what overscan vs. frame is.

They definitely have more video coming, it makes the most sense to do TEM first since it's such a massive song. Good publicity for Drumeo and gets the casual fans, etc.

There will be more, guys. It was a lot of work to bring Colin there, set up his drums and such. Obviously there will be more. You can even see in Drumeo's insta that Colin CHANGED SHIRTS at least 3 times to record different videos. https://www.instagram.com/p/DSQXWZwklL8/?img_index=4

Both versions have basically full video, but the one that you have seen on iTunes contains additional video, which consist of the main video. Just small part of video from the bottom was added above the main video and, small part of the video from the top was added below the main video. Those are exact same video parts, there is no zoom or anything like that: https://ibb.co/8ns9Zk0C Also, here's a comparison of the exact same frame, you can see that the shadow of Mike's head in the original is full, while in the 4K version is not because it was cropped: https://ibb.co/fzbdhhHF

I get TEM is their biggest song at the moment. But I really wish they picked a different song to do on here, plus he’s already done a play through of it

They probably split it in a couple of videos. They did it with Brooks Wackerman (ex-Bad Religion, current Avenged Sevenfold): they release an interview, then a couple of covers, and finally him playing a song he didn't know before.

So that's it? I was hoping for an 20 minute video with interview and that he will play a song he never played. No offense but LP already published the video of him doing drums for TEM and that was long time ago.

A shame. Was hoping for him doing the "drum to an unknown song"-thing. Also, the drums are pretty boring, all things considered. But great to have a spotlight on him.

Werchter Parklife in Belgium has announced a lineup update for a full afternoon and evening of music on June 28, 2026! Additionally, the festival confirms the band will perform their full 2 hour headline set as opposed to the shortened 90 minute festival set LP was doing in 2025 and will do at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park 2026. Let's see if Jacoby from Papa Roach ends up guesting with the band!

Well done on the video!

Thanks for the iTunes link; I see what you mean now. That's funny, because I wouldn't think RTN was shot on actual film (seems unlikely to me for a MV in 2005). But what it looks like is similar to actual film scanning where the what's on iTunes is what would be called Overscan, versus the 4K which would be Framed. It could be legit. Both still have film grain - particularly things like that white spot that flashes around 12 seconds in.

I was saying on the chat the other day that the version before the upgrade also was not having those effects because the video was cropped. And I thought that video on youtube was edited by a fan who uploaded it and then the label in order to upgrade it had to edit it the same way (just cropped it), because youtube will not accept it. So maybe that was the reason? You can watch 30 seconds preview of the original version with those effects on iTunes here. and you will see what kind of those effects were.

Thank you

I don't know how RTN was shot, but depending on the source they went back to, it's possible that the effects weren't completed on that medium. Definitely an issue with things now getting remastered in 4K that had GCI that was never rendered beyond standard definition.

At what time (CET time if possible) the video should be on YouTube?

Thanks

Not necessarily. I think today it's only going to be The Emptiness Machine playthrough and breakdown. Then with time more videos will come, more LP songs, some interviews, and some challenges (like playing another band's song hearing it for the first time)
