It should be 2PM EST that LPU13 launches. It was that time last year and it would make sense that Lorenzo just tweeted about a half hour ago that it will be ready soon. Brace yourselves.. This could be an epic LPU CD.

+1. That was the worst.

I'm changing my opinion. I think we will have demos now. Last call, Skipees said. So this is my final choice. Lol.

Community has been in the LPU since Day 1. This could be a better forum/chat or more LPU meet up stuff, etc. I prefer the LPL community as it is, anyways. Sustainability.. no idea what that means in terms of LPU/LP. Technology could mean a lot of things. Maybe different ways to interact on the LPU in terms of the online site, a new LPU app, etc. I wouldn't want the LPU to change drastically. I like the simple video library, I use that all the time. Same goes for the pictures section. The music section might deserve a cool change. The forum definitely isn't what it was during 3.0/4.0/5.0/6.0/7.0/8.0 so that could be cool.

MTM demos or gtfo.

Definitely agree with this, that's always bugged me.

I don't think it will go live at midnight.. LPU11 went live at midnight and that was awesome, but LPU12 went live during the day sometime. I think 2 PM EST for me. But I can't wait to see the track listing and hear the demos. Going to be epic. Once it goes live, everyone will know, trust me.

Seems like RECHARGED is making this whole kind of separate 'era' for the band. Awesome. The second half of 2013 is the RECHARGED era. Then we get the 6th album era in 2014. Going to be sick. Plus we get to see/hear LP do Hybrid Theory in it's entirety in 2014 as well.

No, unfortunately..

Hell yeah, me too. Best show in the history of TV, what better way to have it honored but having Mike include it in a rap?

It's funny because in the making of MTM shown in Theaters, Mike actually showed each band member's vocals for HHH during the chorus but he refused to show us Joe's because he said he would kill him. I would love to be able to watch that documentary again, wtf.

You guys have pics of the tickets from all the shows I have been to except for 2. Mansfield 2007 and FM in Boston 2006. I can't find those tickets literally anywhere.. But I did just email you guys pics of the tickets from Ulalume 2009 for DBS and the ticket for STPWCB in Boston 2013. You guys didn't have ticket pics for those yet.

It was 2008, I remember. I forgot about that. Really cool.

Wasn't there a MTM seed/demo called ''Arpeggio Intro'' or something? Maybe Primo originated from back then, and it's been making it's way through each album cycle until they finally completed it for LT with I'll Be Gone. Interesting.

I like to view LP's music in separate era's. I can almost guarantee that when LP started work on MTM in early 2006 that they didn't consider using any old seeds or demos from old sessions like Meteora or Hybrid Theory or earlier. They basically started fresh and made tons of stuff. They ended up with like 150 songs. After they chose the 17 songs that would ultimately make MTM, they withered those 17 down to 12 songs. They then released MTM. After they completed touring for MTM, they started work on ATS in late 2008. I bet they used some old seeds and demos from the MTM sessions and worked on them, maybe some of those even making the album or making it far in the process. They then released ATS in fall 2010 and toured until late 2011, and they then started work on LT right away. We know they used some old ATS seeds and demos for LT (Primo, Tinfoil) both being examples. What I'm saying is, the band created TONS of stuff in 2006/2007 and they probably are still using some of that stuff today when working on new albums. I don't think they would ever use any old seeds/demos from prior to 2006. Debris was apparently a MTM demo, but we know it was in the Meeting of ATS, so that further proves my point.

It'd be awesome to hear TINFOIL (2010 Version) now that we have heard Primo. I'd love to see how 'POWERLESS' sounded back then.

If you really are going to wait until Monday to listen to Primo, I think you will like it a lot. I know you didn't like most of LIVING THINGS, but this version is really awesome and even though I thought the final version was better, you might really like this. Reminds me of MTM/ATS style songs a lot.

Yeah, I don't think Joe and Mike were being serious.

Yeah, I'm with you, I definitely wasn't expecting it. So awesome.

Yes, that and also the fact that the jacket will probably be very expensive.

Is that why I love I'LL BE GONE? I guess some of the stuff on LT actually does sound like the MTM era. Mostly POWERLESS, I'LL BE GONE and IN MY REMAINS. I still think this Primo demo is amazing, though, I just think the final version they ended up with is really good. I usually think LP makes the right decisions. Very rarely do I think that the demo version of an album version song that we have heard is better.

Yeah, so Primo is the confirmed demo title for I'LL BE GONE. I think we have all the demo titles for LT as of now, because COG, RU and STB all kept their demo titles, I believe.

The one from 2010, right?

I would like to see By Myself and Forgotten live because they haven't been played in FOREVER and also because I would like to cross those off the list of songs that I've seen live. They played Cure For The Itch and Pushing Me Away in recent years (2008, 2011) and I was unable to catch a show where they performed those. I did see the piano version of Pushing Me Away, so I guess that counts in a way. Other than that, I've seen all songs off of Hybrid Theory.

I don't consider Primo to be better than I'LL BE GONE. I think the final version is amazing, I've loved it ever since the album came out. But this demo version is amazing. Great deep lyrics, and I love how it builds. This is awesome to have. I prefer demos like this than the instrumental demos we have been getting. Makes me wonder how epic the rest of LPU13 will be. I can't wait.
