Even sending some Mike-only stuff to the LP email list. What gives? It's been weird with DBS since day one - they didn't even have a website. Why, the label didn't want to pay for them to have one? Linkin Park hasn’t backed anythimg ‘’Chester’’ since he passed. First it was Cross Off, then Grey Daze, which is understandable, Talinda’s Chester Bennington Clothing Store that I personally have bought many items from, and now Dead By Sunrise. Sean Dowdell and Samantha and Draven and shit think it’s Mike that tried to not support any of his side bands and stuff but it never was. It was more the label and maybe even Brad, honestly. Mike always supported Chester doing stuff outside of LP, if you look at the performance in 2006 when Chester joined The Doors, Mike was side stage, there’s a photo. He also posted about DBS on his blog very early on, remember that iconic photo of Chester holding the demo CD? Mike also is the reason DBS played during LP’s shows in 2009. I’m starting to think Brad has always been the leader of the band. Once you read Jeff Blue’s book you will understand. And also, Mike’s ‘’ask Brad’’ comment about Papercuts totally sold me on that idea. We never knew it but Brad was very much behind everything the band did. Not saying it’s bad. I love Brad, of course. But yeah. I mean he was even heavily involved with Fort Minor, being A&R. Wasn’t Bandmerch Brad’s company too back in the 2000’s? Because all the epic stuff I have from the 2000’s, my clothes, backpacks, all kinds of shit, was bought directly from LP and like Hot Topic and shit. And it was all band merch. Brad was heavily involved in that. Honestly, if there ever were arguments in the studio or disagreements, I can see it being between Mike and Brad now. It’s clear to me now. Linkin Park is really Brad’s band. You have to read the Jeff Blue book to really get insight on it too. And I’m not saying Brad is bad or anything. I love Brad. I just think we as fans never really knew this stuff before. Edited March 11 by NotAlone24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLStaff Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Stores are posting their Record Store Day lists. Some don't have this release at all and others have just a few copies. This release is going to go really quickly, to no one's surprise. Hopefully this incentives the label to keep putting more DBS out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewe Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Is possible to have the acoustic show uploaded here, since I don't buy vinyl and it seems that is not available on streaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only links you'd see here are the ones that are technically 'legally' fine to be shared. I'm no law/music expert so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasputin 93 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Still a commercial release, so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Got my copy without much issue - my local store had 6 when I got there in the late morning. Missed out on the Paramore/David Byrne 7'', though - no chance of getting that without lining up, I'd imagine. Overall, another successful RSD.

LPLStaff Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Chester sounds incredible on In the Darkness and Walking in Circles. In the Darkness is really something. A+. They cut the talking between the songs where Chester was introducing them... that part is unfortunate and doesn't make much sense unless they were out of space on the vinyl or something?

I guess that Ryan could find a way to release only the talking between songs? so we can fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the book, but I caught up early on, that Brad is responsible for the business side of the band, like in '00s. It even starts really with his internship at Zomba I think??? Also in some documentaries it was mentioned a lot, even in frat party it hink they talk about it briefly. And if I was Mike, I'd be eternally thankful to brad for letting me be just creative and not making me obsess over business too much.

But it didn't ocurred to me to see him as THE leader of the band. Interesting approach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd1994 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The show page needs an update as it still states that not all of the songs were released ever. IIRC the page only lists 3 being released but now we have all 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
