Unless it was lots of years after a canceled project, I doubt he'd simply forget about something that took months of planning. Saying he doesn't remember is probably the simplest and easiest answer

I kinda like it, even though I have to agree with what someone's said in the chat: it seems like Polyphia just threw the acapella vocals on top of some unused demo

Linkin Park was supposed to release Talking to Myself (Alternate mix) as a single in 2017. Who decides to release a different mix of the songs to the radio? LP? Warner? Why? Do we know anything about or are there just guesses?

I vaguely remember reading/watching somewhere that they started recording these behind the scenes videos because people called them manufactured during HT days, so they wanted to prove they were the ones making the records Mike has said multiple times everyone in the band is emotionally intelligent. Was he hurt/dissappointed? I don't know, maybe. At the same time I believe he got Brad's decision, and I am pretty sure they're all in good terms

Colin has participated in a brazilian youtube channel, similar to Drumeo, where he listens to a song for the first time and plays along with it. The band's called "Os Paralamas do Sucesso", pretty big in the 80s rock scene in Brazil.

It couldn't have ended in a better way! A few remarks after watching it: Fucking awesome movie, I can't wait to buy it. Please give us the full show! It still doesn't explain why Alex was chosen one week before the launch show. Did they tease they tried other guitarrists or am I tripping? Love Colin's reaction when he discoveres who Emily is (still don't get why he didn't know before she started singing lol) It seems like they waited for Rob until early 2023? Not really sure about this one

This quote is very interesting, considering Rob is not credited at the Mall soundtrack

Looking forward to it!

The live aspect still gets me. They needed a live guitarrist. Even if Colin had played guitar for a while, that would've led to a even bigger problem, because they'd need a live drummer (way more critical) Great point about the techs playing Brad's parts. For me it's still wild to think that LP prepared their triumphant return for months, allegedly rehearsing far more than any other time in their career, only to play with their new lead guitarrist a couple of days before the launch show watched by millions of people lol

Glad we'll get some kind of explanation. Thanks!

There's a gap in the story that I don't get...who was playing guitar during rehearsals before Alex joined? Mike has said LP had never rehearsed so much in their careers. Did they rehearse without the lead guitarrist for months? When did Brad decide not to play live anymore? If it's explained in Unshatter, I'll gladly wait for those answers 🙂

True history 🙂 Lorenzo was there too, and him and Adam figured out a way with the bar staff to let 30+ fans who were waiting outside to join the lisening party. They were super kind and went out of their way for that, which I really appreciate

You got me here 🫠 Maybe it was $10 at some point in the past? I should not trust my memory again

While I agree the LPU has been sub-par, I gotta admit the presale tickets and early entry are great...especially for only $10. I may waste $10 this next year? Probably, I doubt they're playing my country soon. I've wasted more money on worse things lol There were some random listening parties for the LPU in 2024, which is something exclusive. Enough? Not even close They still exist, I just don't believe it's worth my money
