ElvishSpirit Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Like Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana, Linkin Park has quite a decent amount of material over their careers that has never seen the light of day, officially or leaked. Its been hinted at before by the band, expressing over 100 songs being made during the M2M sessions, and the proof is LPUX which featured a majority of unreleased songs that NO ONE has ever gotten a hold of previously. (not to mention, I'm sure vocals have been applied to SOME of those tracks that we only got instrumentals for) So I guess the original/topic question still stands, but how do you think LP would release these tracks?

I wouldn't say Nirvana has a lot of material. Answer: Ones good enough, Through the LPU. </end thread> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) A lot, but how much of it is any good or complete? Who knows, aside from LP of course Edited August 2, 2011 by Mr X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 ...over 100 songs being made during the M2M sessions... Can we just get this straight people. When the guys were saying this, they didnt mean they had 100 demos just laying around. Its was more like 100 different ideas that didnt really become anything else. Remember, brad did Song A to Song Z and Song Q was the only one that started building into what we now know was HHH. So thats 25 other 'Ideas' that never really became anything else then an idea.

They are defiantly not all finished songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickDuffy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Yeah the 100 ideas were basically seeds. Picture The Catalyst stems "Keyboard" and "Electro Drums" layered over each other. I'm guessing that lasting about 40-50 seconds would be one of their ideas of a seed. Edit: And I don't mean that was one of their seeds, just how a seed could look.

sotrix Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Their scrapped sophomore album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Their scrapped sophomore album. That would be a good example. But I would highly doubt that would of kept any of that. Plus I dont think the music would be worlds greatest. When they say they scrapped it, I dont think they mean they finished an Album and then burnt it to a CD and set it on fire type of thing. I think more like once they got though a heap of rough demos, they didnt like what they were doing so they then hit the erase all button.

Pez Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Wasn't it scrapped cuz the label didn't like it? Not really. The boys scrapped it themselves because they didnt want to become one of those bands where the first album was 'a fluke' and everything else sucked.

leftshoe18 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think Halo from LPUX was probably a demo for the scrapped sophomore album. It sounds pretty different from the Meteora that we got. Unfortunate may fit into that as well along with early versions of Meteora tracks like the version of Don't Stay with the supposed reggae-style riffs and whatnot. I think that they got some significant work done on that second album before they scrapped it. Like SFNL14, I thought that the album was scrapped due to label pressure when they decided that they wanted LP to make an album where every track could be a single.

sotrix Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 But I would highly doubt that would of kept any of that.Why exactly would they, literally, delete their hard work? Even if the scrapped album is nothing more than a bunch of seeds and a demo or two, it's all on a CD somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the scrapped album is nothing more than a bunch of seeds and a demo or two, it's all on a CD somewhere. It all depends on how hard they took the idea of not wanting to be a fluke. IMO you cant go "Ok this is that shit 2nd album that all these bands make. Now Im just going to put it in a volt for future reference and start fresh" When Id be more like "This really sucks balls *Erase all button*" Get me?

LPMaskMan Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think the most of LPU X demos are fake demos (mainly the instrumentals). They've just made on computer in 2-3 months and released them on a CD and put some dates next to the titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just made on computer in 2-3 months and released them on a CD and put some dates next to the titles. I highly doubt this. LPU9 had a lot of demos, and you can even hear stuff like Fear and Japan (early version of ATL) on the Making of MTM DVD, same as Blackbirds, even though it wasn't released through LPU. What We Don't Know, Brad talked about in the newsletter and said it was one of the first songs written for MTM and they left it alone and forgot about it. I Have Not Begun you can hear Mike rap at a Roots show in 09 I think. And Pale I'm pretty sure is heard in the making of MTM as well. Coal sounds like a Xero song, for sure. The only thing that somewhat bothers me about the LPU demos is that they sound way too good, the older ones. Stuff like Coal and Stick N Move, or that Points demo and Sad for example, all have way too good of quality compared to the other stuff Xero and Hybrid Theory put out in 97-99.

spraypaintninkpens Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I bet they have enough good bsides to release an entire retail cd if they broke up or went on hiatus that Warner could release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I bet they have enough good bsides to release an entire retail cd if they broke up or went on hiatus that Warner could release. I'm positive they could polish up 12 b-sides and make an album and sell a lot. Especially the stuff from Hybrid Theory or Meteora, songs we never heard that didn't make the cut, would draw a lot of attention. I love all the MTM b-sides so far, and maybe ATS has some good ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of great older tracks. Speaking of which, isn't their obligation to Warner over after their next cd? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I love what they have been doing with the LPU CD's in recent years with all the awesome demos and b-sides. I think I like a lot of the b-sides more than actual album tracks, to be honest... For example, What We Don't Know has to be one of my favorite LP songs and I think it's one of the best tracks from the entire MTM era, and the band just 'forgot' about it!

BrandonR24 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 i'm curious to what they put on LPU11. I know it wont happen but a 7 track disk with demos all with vocals would be awesome. Kind of like getting a Linkin Park EP. I'm more into the old demos they show off since i'm kind of more a pre ATS fan. And QWERTY will always be one of my favorite demos/songs ever. When that came out in studio form on LPU6 I almost blew up, the energy was crazy on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerLP Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well, what about the 'disaster' song that was supposed to be on the Machine shop mixtape #2. The one mentioned in one of the LPU newsletters.. cant remember which one. I think 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
