I hope we will hear some "new" music in the new documentary. And I hope one day we will also get some more Meteora demos with vocals. At least "Soundtrack" with some vocals exist.

"We tried different vocal treatments, but they never really panned out; I think we felt this track was a bit too poppy. We tried turning the guitars up really loud to counterbalance it, but at the end of the day, this song didn't make the cut." - Mike Shinoda about "Soundtrack".

Massive, Resolution or Wesside could end up being Soundtrack with vocals.

I thought Massive was an instrumental, like Healing Foot was also supposed to be an instrumental. I remember seeing something either in the chatbox or on in a tweet from LPLive saying that tracks 1-3 (Lost, Fighting Myself, and More The Victim), and tracks 6-14 (A6 (Meteora|20 Demo), Cuidado ("Lying From You" Demo), Husky ("Hit The Floor" Demo), Interrogation ("Easier To Run" Demo), Faint (Meteora|20 Demo), Plaster 2 ("Figure.09" Demo), Shifter ("From The Inside" Demo), Wesside, and Resolution from the Lost Demos have vocals, while they didn't mention tracks 4 and 5 (Massive and Healing Foot) having vocals, leading me to believe those two are instrumentals.

The fact of the matter is that there's no way to know which ones have vocals and which don't until the box is out. It's informed speculation, to a degree - Mike's pushed the first three songs on the demos disc as being the songs with full vocals, but while that doesn't necessarily mean none of the other unheard songs have vocals (or that A6 does or doesn't), we simply don't have the info either way. There's nothing wrong with playing the guessing game with it, and most of the other songs on the box seem to follow the naming pattern used for instrumental demos (single word, abstract and somewhat without meaning), but I think we need to stay away from making definitive statements about any of them that we haven't heard. No one on here's going to have inside info to that level.

I hope we will hear vocals in demos like Wesside, Resolution, Healing Foot, A6 and Massive. Maybe "Soundtrack" and "Rhinocerous" have vocals but didn't make the cut:  "And even to this day a lot of the songs on Meteora are some of the best songs we've written and they're the most fun to play live and unfortunately Rhinocerous didn't make the cut but it was certainly part of the journey to get there." Brad Delson about "Rhinocerous".

When did he say that? Did I miss something?

I don't know that I would read much into Brad's quote at all there - he really just kind of gives a diatribe about recording Meteora and ends it with "btw this song didn't make it." Even the way he says "it was certainly part of the journey to get there" sounds completely flippant.

Unfortunately all the tracks on CD2 LPU Rarities will all be the same versions released on LPUnderground. The disc with all previously unreleased versions of songs is CD4 Lost Demos

 

No. Re-mastered, so they would at least have a slightly different mastering + comparing what the quality some of those lpu songs have, this will be night/day difference. I hope we will get some of those songs uncensored.

I wouldn't hold my breath on them releasing anything uncensored. Everything that was originally censored in the Hybrid Theory era remained censored on HT20 as far as I remember.

 

Sure. They can be just like on the LPU.

 

If you look closely, there's no that much logic of where or when they censor the songs. HT EP has two songs with explicit lyrics that were not censored, then you have two b-sides officially released on the In The End single APFMH and Step Up both not censored, you have also High Voltage (live) version from the LPU which was not censored too, while censored studio version of the same song was made available on the OSC single.

 

And all of that stuff in the exact versions mentioned above by me was included on the HT20.

New (unlisted) Youtube videos on the LP channel including the original LPTV episodes that have never been on their channel and extended versions of the other LPTV episodes. Sadly everything seems to be 480p only.

They could be still processing the better quality, that's why you see only 480p right now.

They've been uploaded 3 days ago. A channel this big would get processing prioritized I guess and they should be done by now.
