Linkin Park Alternative Press Interview

[LPLStaff]

 

"Linkin Park sit down with AP’s Editor-in-Chief, Anna Zanes, for an exclusive interview. 

 

Mike Shinoda, along with bassist Dave Farrell and new lead vocalist Emily Armstrong, unraveled the meaning of legacy — what it means to be a part of one, and to join one along the way — while also looking forward, and forging ahead. We talk about what’s at the very core of Linkin Park — a band as much as a community, built on connection, catharsis, and unabashedly big feelings."

Shinoda slipped on Unshatter. He mentioned it was from One More Li-- From Zero sessions. So it's an OML demo got reworked for FZ sessions?

It's a very interesting one, if it really was a slip, because this song is so far away from anything OML, well at least the final product. I wonder what the early versions sounded like.

What if every songs with external songwriters are OML demos, expect Overflow because of Teddy Swims involved. It would turn out that TEM, Two Faced, Casualty and UFTB are the only original FZ demos. XD We don't know how many demos they made from 2015 to 2017. It was long writing process. It could be that they choose only ones with same stylistic for OML and saved the rest for future releases.

I think we are reading too much into it.

Lol, this is not a slip. Never in a million years Unshatter was a OML demo.

Just a simple mistake.

timeframe please?

[ChaseChief]

You’re overanalyzing it. If it was an OML demo why would he need to lie about it being from FZ?

 

 

[LPLStaff]

Yeah. Think there is nothing more to that than him mixing up the albums. He isn't hiding anything.

[YRQRM0]

I think he probably just mixed them up

 

That being said, it seems silly to ever make an assumption about where a song came from. 
 

animals/roads untraveled sound nothing alike 

 

CTB lyrics go all the way back to 2013

 

OML demos started with just lyrics, so the end result could really sound like anything
