jopevc Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 One thing that came up to mind when I saw that was that the second version is an early demo of the finalised song. Or the second version is the one we see in the "making of" and the final version ended up with diferent lyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was for MTM then it would be a good chance of Mike singing as well Edited January 25, 2023 by DylHDZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my guess. Either that or just different lyrics and/or a different sound mix. (Sound mix heard in Summer Sanitarium and Mikes Shirt LPTV videos as a background seed, was likely the final mix (instrumental), since those videos date 2007) Edited January 25, 2023 by IWillWalkAway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the image at LPCatalog keeps updating and by tomorrow or in the upcoming days, it starts to reveal a link to the new song or the released date of the song? Just like LP did with HT20, their website updated every day with new information until the reveal date I'm still confused about that since, LPCatalog is a fan site right? So how would they know or tease it, plus not every LP fan knows about that site so it doesn't make much sense, but I guess time will tell.

No, I think LPCatalog is part of the LPU, so it’s run by the band. Someone correct me if i’m wrong please. I’m not the biggest OG Linkin Parker so I don’t have enough knowledge of LPCatalog to know for sure, but I’ve heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopevc Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) So, possibly the guys who run LPCatalog were contacted by the band to purposely put those images to start the hype train, or it´s just kind of a prank to also start the hype Edited January 26, 2023 by jopevc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought so, on the subject tho, one thing that annoys me about LPCatalog is that they put their watermark over the album covers and such, so I gotta photoshop to remove it or crop so I can use the covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylHDZ Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Don’t know if this is anything special but it def wasn’t there last night. The “complete playlist” that LP posted on their Spotify has a Meteora image of the art day at the wall. One that I dont ever remember seeing anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumtram Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I read up on Linkinpedia about "Figure.09" yesterday. In the Meteora booklet it is said that they swapped the original rap verses of the song for singing only to undo that change while in NYC "because it made the song more interesting". Until yesterday I never questioned it but then I realized that it was most likely not the case (conspiracy time :D). What I THINK is far more likely than changing a fundamental part of a song during the mixing progress (the band themselves said it is extremely rare and stressful to record while mixing, which was true during that time) especially after they worked in the studio on the version with singing which they took to NYC is that Chester's sickness prevented them from finishing the singing verses. Pure speculation on my part but I can imagine them trying their hardest to finish up "Somewhere I Belong" because it was supposed to be the first single (and "From The Inside") left Chester too sick to record anymore vocals. Therefore they had to react to that and changed the verses back so Mike could finish them. The devil lies in the details: "Somewhere I Belong" and "From The Inside" were finished as intended but "Figure.09" (by my theory) couldn't get finished the way they wanted to. Therefore they had to go back to an "inferior" version which is something they probably wouldn't ever say upfront because after all Meteora was the album they wanted to be perfect. Anyway, long ramble, judging by everything we know that seems more likely to me than what "officially" got said about this episode. Maybe M20 will shine a new light on it or I'm completely wrong. If anyone appreciates these thoughts it might be someone on here, though :D. Edited January 26, 2023 by Trumtram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
