LPLStaff Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Attendees at Linkin Park's show on Thursday were treated to event-exclusive merchandise after the show, including a surprise CD for lead single 'The Emptiness Machine'. The artwork comes from a painting Mike Shinoda did and the CD features two tracks - 'The Emptiness Machine' and the instrumental of the song. Copies were limited at the show, but so far no information has surfaced on the CD being sold online or at other concerts yet.

Now I’m not fully up to date with how record labels work these days but I’m hoping it means. By LP registering as an LLC they have self funded this From Zero operation and will earn the income directly. Warner Bros then pay Linkin Park LLC for distribution rights. Instead of WB owning all management rights and giving LP a cut of the income. WB are essentially paying LP differently which allows them to be free from stricter Record label contracts? May also solidify theories around Papercuts being an “End of Contract” requirement by WB? Given there’s on record details from the band stating they didn’t like the idea of “Greatest Hits” albums 🤷♂️ But all of that is a guess and should not be treated as facts. Financial decisions and business information really should be private to the Band unless they’re willing to share.
