RogueSoul Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 According to Yahoo! Music, Linkin Park have already finished one song for their new album and they'll be releasing it soon, Bennington says. The track features a yet-unnamed special guest. The article was taken down by request of LP management but you can read it here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/sear...-195133675.html Who do you think the special guest is and when the song will be released?

GlassCastles Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'd imagine it would be released early 2014. "Soon" in the music industry can mean months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgrosk Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Mike did say that they were actually writing with Rick Rubin so that might it. There are also rumors of it being Steve Aoki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero21 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Where did this come from? Steve Aoki and Linkin Park have met up a couple times in the past year. It would just make sense, but there's nothing definite that says it's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Steve Aoki and Linkin Park have met up a couple times in the past year. It would just make sense, but there's nothing definite that says it's him. Just because he mentioned LP in an interview doesnt mean its on the cards. He did name several other artists in that interview. "I'd still like to work with Zack de La Rocha, Chester from Linkin Park, Hayley Williams from Paramore, Jay-Z," he said. Source I even remember B.o.B saying he wants to work with LP for his rock album. “I can tell you who I’d like to work with as far as rock legends. Definitely Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. Of course Linkin Park." Source So really, its free game and could be anyone. We didnt see that Owen Pallett colab coming until pretty much weeks before the release of the album.

Xero21 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Just because he mentioned LP in an interview doesnt mean its on the cards. He did name several other artists in that interview. I'm not sure what interview you're referring to (edit: just saw you posted it). Aoki and Mike have tweeted at each other/posted group pictures a couple times over the past year. They've met up.

Geki Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I just hope it is guest instrumentation, no guest vocals or anything. I would HATE THAT. No guest stuff on main albums. Leave that for remixes and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I just hope it is guest instrumentation, no guest vocals or anything. I would HATE THAT. No guest stuff on main albums. Leave that for remixes and stuff. I pretty much guarantee if this song is the "exciting stuff within the next month" Mike was referring to (I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be), it WON'T be on the next album, despite what the article says. They wouldn't be releasing something intended for an album if the album wasn't finished, or at least VERY close to finished.

AParallelogramInTheSand Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I got to meet Steve Aoki....it was....interesting....(he chilled on campus before a concert and reeked of various things). Bet it'll prolly be like New Divide or Blackbirds and just be on its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 This track is probably going to be like We Made It back in 2008 - unassociated with a particular LP album. I don't really care who's featuring on the track, as long as it doesn't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maik_gianino Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Will be Steve Aoki, he tweeted Mike a couple of days ago, too talk in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 When this song is released do you think a tour will follow, maybe Europe in November/December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 When this song is released do you think a tour will follow, maybe Europe in November/December? If they will play it live at all. Some hip-hip artist will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If they will play it live at all. Some hip-hip artist will be great. I remember Mike being asked if there was an MC he would like to collaborate with and he mentioned Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky by name. That would be something. I think he probably meant a solo collab though, not with LP. Then again, something like We Made It would be great though. Personally I like both of those artists better than Busta Rhymes...just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Also, they never had a "real" song with Jay-Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Also, they never had a "real" song with Jay-Z. Very true. Imagine if Holy Grail was featuring Chester instead of Timberlake... would give it a whole new sound and probably be my favorite song. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Very true. Imagine if Holy Grail was featuring Chester instead of Timberlake... would give it a whole new sound and probably be my favorite song. lol Nah, Chester would've wrecked that song, in a very bad way.

FearOfTheDuck Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Very true. Imagine if Holy Grail was featuring Chester instead of Timberlake... would give it a whole new sound and probably be my favorite song. lolTimberlake's perfect for that song though. I could imagine Chester "over-singing" it, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hopefully this news is true. New song soon. doesn't care who's gonna features as long as it's new stuff. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesck547 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Mike did say in an interview lately, that there will be a special suprise for the fans in the next month. Maybe he was talking about the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.harrison Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Kinda with Geki on this one ... dont particularly want any collaborations. but hey new music, im keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearOfTheDuck Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'd love to a collaboration. It's always exciting when artists come together to make music, and keeps things fresh. Excited to hear any new music, of course, regardless on whether it's a collaboration or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinepi Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 "While a few songs will feature Bennington's recognizable vocals, much of the material is new territory for Linkin Park. "There’s a different mindset going into scoring a movie than making a record because you're trying to capture the scene without having the music distract you from what you’re looking at," Bennington said. "We’re trying to capture the emotional quality of the film so there's a lack of structure and there aren't very many parts when compared to radio songs. Also, there are different characters in the movie that require different threads of sounds. So there's a lot of cool elements we’re working with." Holy fuck!!! It won't just be all instrumental - several songs will have vocals! Awesome "Hahn has started shooting the film, but there is no scheduled release date. Linkin Park are creating the soundtrack with help from Deadsy drummer Alec Püre." This is great too! "Linkin Park have already finished one song for their new album and they'll be releasing it soon, Bennington says. The track features a yet-unnamed special guest." So really, its free game and could be anyone. We didnt see that Owen Pallett colab coming until pretty much weeks before the release of the album. This wasn't really a collaboration, Pallett just arranged and played the strings just as if David Campbell could have arranged them, for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOCKWAVE6464 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I hope the track is like QWERTY where it premieres at Summer Sonic and is then released on LPU13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
