Mike Shinoda Response to "She Couldn't"

[HybridThe0ry97]

Earlier today, Mike Shinoda posted on his blog about the newfound 1999 demo, "She Couldn't". This is what he had to say:

 

"Many of you have asked about an old demo that is floating around. The song is called “She Couldn’t.” We recorded it in 1999 during the making of Hybrid Theory, but it never made an album and was never released by us. For legal reasons, that's all I can say about the song, but I hope this clears things up!"

 

What do you think?

What do you think? Perhaps Warner has gagged them from talking about unreleased songs?

I think it just has to do with the sampling of another song.

sounds about right

[[AndOne]]

Where did it go, the blog post?

[luki9875]

for me sounds like there is something more then just that sample in the song... there maybe is something more that we dont and wont know.... but maybe im wrong

[shabanini]

what kind of legal reason could stop him from saying more about it?

i wonder if there are more songs there unheard by the fans

What do you mean? MS blog post is still there, it is the "response to fan questions".

Mike's reply to this is just so cold

whatever!

Maybe Mike doesn't know how fans had to buy the CD and the whole story about it, you never know. But I agree he should have at least said thank you or that it was cool or something. I don't remember if he did with Plaster...or State Of The Art or any of the other exclusives.

[Andros]

the guitar of "She Couldn't" remembers me to "In Yourself" and the Intro of And One Live in Rock Am Ring 2001

This explains my problems pretty much I guess lol. Doesn't work in Firefox.

Chester said State of the Art was dead to him...if that clears anything up.

jonas' post

well i guess it´s a problem with your firefox

 

with my firefox it works totally fine, viewed it via firefox, soo...

[Geki]

He said that it was a dead subject to him. He probably doesn't even remember that shit it was in like 2001 with some shitty member of Limp Bizkit. LOL.

[[AndOne]]

I just did the latest update to firefox 3.5. Still the same lol. Whatever, still odd.

[Reanimate]

Well I really wanted to hear more about the track, I figured he would give us a good story on it. Oh well.

[gtrnowak4tkd]

it seems like hes trying to say that the Warner never wanted the song to get released and that LP is under contract not to talk about that demo. or that he and the band didnt like the demo and didnt want that found.

[lpsoldier]

yeah it seems like he isnt interested!

it sounds like:"whatever?"

I'm sure it's not that he's being indignant...but the song is 10 years old and they have obviously progressed.

 

Imagine you're an artist and about to have a show of your work in some gallery, then people start asking you about an art project you did in the third grade. You just don't give a shit about it anymore.

No. There have been plenty of cases of LP-related songs having uncredited samples and it's never been a problem for them to talk about it in the past. Almost the entire instrumental portion of H! Vltg3 is ripped off from 'Family' by Lamont Dozier, 1stp Klosr uses a stock sound effect that's found in a bunch of movies, Kyur 4 th Ich has an uncredited sample from a Crystal Method song in it, none of the samples on We Major are credited, etc...

 

I've been saying for years that Warner owns and controls everything Linkin Park creates, says, and does. If Warner doesn't want Linkin Park talking about something, they don't talk about it. If this song wasn't all over the Internet, Mike would probably deny that it even exists. This has something to do with it being an unreleased track and Warner likely having a universal gag order on unreleased material written into Linkin Park's contract.

Well said, just another reason why i say "fuck warner" lol

OMG the High Voltage remix from reanimation its just the same song with an extra beat.

 

That's why I hate almost any hip hop artist/producer sample (steals) a lot of old song and then they take the full credit.

Mike knows. Trust me

 

Mike knows all about it and the entire process we went through.

 

For legal reasons he can't say any more, but he is aware of the fact of LPLive buying it, releasing it, etc. He posted a lot for Plaster but the sample in this song won't let him do it. Sorry.

[lparcshinoda]

I guess that the band had some releasing problem or some disturing fact about this song and its sample and they can't talk about it (maybe because of warner being related to the fact itself) for legal matters.
