Astat Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 There have been rumors going around about an "upcoming" LP greatest hits album for at least 2 years. This is nothing new, and nothing has ever come of it, despite several reliable sources reporting on it (Billboard.com's 2008 release date calendar released at the end of 2007 even said one was scheduled for November of 2008). I'd say there's about a 98% probability that this WON'T happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPPRJKT4 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 1)Warner needs some cash, and already recorded songs album is pretty godd for them , I guess 2)Chester promissed new songs on Sonisphere UK gig, so new tracks in studio format sounds quite real. 3)Warner made them mainstream cash addicted band without their will, so look at point one. He nv promised us anything, he said he isn't promising anything, but we mite hear some new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's a little weird for a band to release a "best off" with only 3 albums... but if it would have unreleased tracks, whatever! they've released 2 live cds off of only 3 studio albums, why not a greatest hits?

Sepol Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 they've released 2 live cds off of only 3 studio albums, why not a greatest hits? how are the live CDs related to a Greatest Hits CD? I'm just saying that I think that a "greatest hits" CD with only 3 albums is weird (or at least I thought so, but according to some people here, it's not as uncommon as I thought it was), and unnecessary... But, as mentioned before, there have been rumors about a album like this for about 2 years, lol. I'll just consider this an unfonded rumor (yeah, right, a radio DJ announced it, but what do radio DJs know about this stuff? lol) True or false, I'm sure we'll find it on eBay sooner or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^ There have been fake "greatest hits" recording albums going around on eBay for a few years already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergSlim Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Let's count Songs From The Underground as the LPU Greatest Hits CD, which also had "unreleased" live tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinmetalfanatic Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Let's count Songs From The Underground as the LPU Greatest Hits CD, which also had "unreleased" live tracks.We cant count that, because it wasnt officially released LP songs..its a best of LPU cd with 2 live songs lol, both of which im pretty sure had been previously leaked anyway.

hahninator Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Crawling was remastered w/My December and Hunger Strike was never released in SBD form by LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letdownagain Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The thing is that combined with the 3 albums, if you also add the POA remix from Reanimation and Numb/Encore, you increase the tracklist and Numb/Encore was a pretty big single. Greatest Hits tend to just be singles collections. The idea isn't whether or not it makes sense - it's whether or not it makes money. If the songs were released under Warner, they could make whatever CD they wanted, with or without the band's input. This isn't an uncommon thing. Radiohead, comes to mind because the band publicly spoke out against it, but Capitol released it in a number of forms anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridThe0ry97 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 It's a little weird for a band to release a "best off" with only 3 albums... but if it would have unreleased tracks, whatever! By unreleased Warner probably means, unreleased live songs.. Here would be an example greatest hits: 1. One Step Closer 2. Crawling 3. In The End 4. Papercut 4. Somewhere I Belong 5. Faint 6. Numb 7. Breaking the Habit 8. What I've Done 9. Shadow of the Day 10. Bleed It Out 11. Leave Out All The Rest 12. Given Up 13. Numb/Encore 14. Points of Authority (Reanimation Mix) 15. Pushing Me Away (Live) 16. Breaking the Habit (Live) Yeah... that's enough tracks for one. And no, I don't see Lying From You, nor From The Inside on it.. despite the limited airplay in USA for it.
