I guess this means the run of LPU CDs with demos is now over. It was great while it lasted :) 9, X, 11 and 12 were fantastic overall - we got some amazing stuff.

 

Not really a fan of them recording with a musical guest that isn't a popular artist (like someone from Depeche Mode or something) but maybe it will turn out good. I hope they don't do this for 10 songs.

lol you guys sound like a 3 year old that panics that he gets no candy after lunch. Of course we'll get demos, how is ONE song going to change that, see it for what it is and don't panic and make up stuff.

it's not because people think they will stop with the damos, it's because the thing you'll get instead.

Very nice idea, they always making different stuffs and helping to grow.

Sadly is US only, but is understandable because they will spend lot of money in this.

 

Looking forward for a different LPU CD, maybe with some collabs like LPU4, mixed with demos and lives?

OH NOOOOO! Instead of the 100th POA demo and/or nu-metal instrumental on LPU13we're getting an all new LP collaboration!! :(

 

End of sarcasm.

 

There's plenty of room left on the CD for demos so everyone needs to calm their shit.

funny thing, always when something happens/not happens, 50% of the people complains, and the other 50% complains about the complains = 100% complains.

This is not replacing the whole CD. Don't worry- :)

I didn't think it was going to be a collab cd, but I feel like at this point I've reached my wits end with contests/collabs. Catalyst remix contest, LIVING THINGS "remixes", Lost in the Echo remix contest, COG tshirt contest, MFR tshirt contest, etc.

 

Yeah I'm complaining, but I've never claimed to be someone who thinks everything LP does is OMGWONDERFULFANTASTIC. Just not me.

 

I just want Chester to do an acoustic cd for LPU13. And if not that then fall back on the reliable demos (more Meteora heavy if possible).

it's time for full Meteora b-side.. it's already more than 10 years from Meteora release and we don't have even one track with vocal (Faint and Figure.09 demos are "already released" demos). Edited by Skipees
