Im surprised "Sometimes (Acoustic)" and "Soul Song (Acoustic)" havent leaked yet. At least as far as I know you cant find em online yet.

Dont forget there is also the Japanese version with Sickness (Acoustic). That makes em 4 bonus acoustic tracks in total. EDIT: Yeah I saw that this was a mistake and people with Japanese version got Sometimes (Acoustic) instead.

Yeah I agree, i dont think an OML song could be the new holy grail. Not that I dont like OML but usually holy grails are old songs, from bands beginnings, especially for a band like LP where most people are HT/Meteora era die hards. Μy no1 guess for the next holy grail would be Thoughts That Take Away My Pride as well. Other possible ones could be Grecian or Be Yourself since it was always speculated not to actually just a jam. Also if one of the HT Demos we recently saw in Mike's PC doesnt get released in the 20th aniversary edition, i aslo see that as a candidate. Thats a pity, I though it might be like partly true or based on a greek myth or something.

Can someone point me to the part he talks about Xero name origin? "Someone asked the origin of the name Xero but Mike told a made up story about Greek mythology." Im Greek so itd be super interesting for me, maybe I can add some stuff to the story too for all yall.

I think its safe to assume that this is indeed true for at least a couple songs. Most probable songs imo would be Pictureboard, Slip, Esaul, Reading My Eyes and Stick N Move. Its safe to assume these are songs that the band worked both as late Xero and early HT. Another thing is that the 3 Rapology songs were released in 1998 which would not be that far chronologically from early HT era (especially Fiends). But lets take intro consideration the assumption that they were indeed working on an album or an EP at that time (which is very possible considering they put out an EP within less than a year Chester joined). If they did so, I dont think they would "spend" album tracks in compilations, so I think Rapology songs would be left outs anyway and that they stopped working on them after their release. There is also the Xero Reborn song, which if actually a real demo, was worked on by both Xero and HT since Chester knew it, so thats another possible one. From the Xero Tape i think only Fuse was stopped been worked on before Chester joined, as far as we know at least. Most of these are just my ideas and opinion and not actual facts.

Thanks a lot for doing all this research, very interesting topic.

Pretty cool, I got it in my mailbox

Yeah, does anyone has it?

Scott (a sessional bassist they had during HT era before Dave came back) said so. Me with Xero Hunting Team contacted him and thats what we got. BUT he has given false info about LP in the past so its not 100% trustworty. Thats way Im saying there is a big chance that it was played only as an opening to another song, but its not 100% either.

There is a big chance that Pictureboard hasnt even been played fully live, but only as an opening to another song.

Well DBS dont really have a reason to though. I mean Grey Daze songs are very old with poor production and recording and most people dont even know about them. So there are obvious reasons to remaster them, the old recordings are meh. Whereas DBS was done with exellent equipement, it sounds like Chester wanted it to sound, and it did have some success too. I mean would like your idea for sure, cause why not, just saying that there is not really a reason for DBS to do it compared to Grey Daze.

Actually today Lpliveusername wrote in LinkinPedia that the album will be called "Amends." He wrote: "The song was released as the first single of the remix project Amends on January 17, 2020." I cant find another source though

idk if its correct but id be an amazing show

Oh I hadnt realised its the same guy who leaked What Are You Worth

I agree and disagree. Yes Mark was nothing special (we was "OK" ig) and Chester is 100 times better. But Im not sure the band would get lost in the crowd, cause its their uniqueness that made em special not only Chester's voice. Of course it was a huge boost and with Mark they wouldnt be the band they are today, but I think they would still have SOME success, not mainstream though but maybe they'd be "famous" in the Rock/Alternative scene. And another thing that made Chester a big asset to the band in comparison to Mark was his hunger for success, Mark left cause it wasnt rll what he wanted to do with his life, while Chester was hungry af to succeed in music.
