Cryistalina first few notes felt like Promises i Can't keep

I think this subject is like an elephant in the room with LP fanbase... The OML criticism could be one of the reasons that culminated on what we all know. Those guys heard so many shit about their music since day 1, anything they did was never enough. But with OML things were different, the criticism was way more personal. The songs were personal for the band, they worked hard on them. And i remember Chaz being really offended when some people said "OML sounds lazy, you didn't even worked or tried to do something". The band and the family will never blame any part of his death on the criticism, but we all can figure out that it had some impact on his ill mind. That's why i personally don't accept someone talking shit about OML nowadays. It's okay to not enjoy it, but respect all the burden it carries.

Well, that's the first official confirmation that we will have something on october. When they did that first stream commenting the '00 concert, i thought they would do something every month. I guess they will release some webpage with all the photos and files we sent, or will make videos to the remastered songs with them.

Chester really was unique, and i'm glad he had parallel projects... because that way we got to hear his whole range power. I mean, even LPU8 gives a sample of how much he could impersonate any singer. All those LPTV too, with him mocking and goofing around singing in many accents and styles. I could be very biased, but this man is top 5 singers of all time.

Since we are talking about HB... I missed some more iconic guest artists. I know the intent was to have "Chester's friends" there, but it would be way more memorable with a few more epic people on the stage... because Chester is one of those epic iconic rock stars and deserves to be remembered that way. It's really sad that Corey Taylor couldn't be there... or Jay-z... and many of those guys that Chaz played with on Camp Freddy or Kings of Chaos. I cried a lot watching, and it really was sentimental, but anyway to me it felt "small" compared to how significant Chester is.

Ohh yeah, just 3 of them were on the M&G in Porto Alegre. And Joe played wearing flip flops 😂

Reading about the rider, i remembered about Porto Alegre concert in Brazil, (october 12, 2012). The guys were almost 2h late on stage. That's so rare with LP. We heard things about misunderstending between them on backstage... almost like if one of them was almost gaving up on playing that day because of a discussion or something. Will never know if it's true... but the 2h delay sucked a bit.

"Drum Raw Stereo" makes it seem it's a drum file received from someone else. Rob maybe. And "Elephant in the room" is a GREAT song title/concept... because LP will always have this BIG elephant in the room.

Not a question, but i didn't knew where to put it. Just found the original HybridTheory website when they announced for the first time the name changing to Linkin Park. https://web.archive.org/web/20001204182800/http://www.hybridtheory.com/ That's a really cool thing to have saved on a drive. Keeping the .html file and so.

Awful video. I couldn't go through more than 30 seconds. So much cringe. There are many more fans out there that could pull off an awesome video. This is the opposite of making Chester proud. This is amateur work. I mean no disrespect directly to the fan that made it. But it's not at the level of Chester's brand.

I meant that... if he can't listen to Chester's voice... how is he working with HT20?

Fuck that was heavy. But i got what Mike is saying, and that's somehow a relief for his conscience. Chester orbited suicide a couple of times... those other times he was saved somehow. If someone saved him on the july 20th, we wouldn't know about it for years... probably until he tried it again and succeed. Depression is almost unstoppable. So, really, Chester's death wasn't anyones fault and no one could really prevent that...

How the fuck is Mike mixing the HT20? Or just listening to those new mixes?

Damn, that's so raw. This is how you can really tell apart an amazing singer. This voice touches you deeply.

didn't BTH take something like 5 years to get done? I remember an interview with Mike saying it was one of the hardest songs to finish.

i was thinking about it... Open Door is about having some opportunities in life. And Mike opened doors for those fans singing in the song.

I really want to know more about this game that turned into ATS. One of the worst decisions in LP's career was related to a game (the project spark with GATS video). And now we learn one of the best decisions is also game related (not doing the game and turning it into ATS)

too much hype on that russian girl. I hope the other winners sound better.

I couldn't stand original GD... i'd listen to 1 or 2 songs at the most. The production was awful... the recording sounded dirt and too much distorted. The instrumental was annoying (the drums mostly)... it was like every member wasn't playing for the song... they were just showing off. I'm not any kind of expert in music technicalities, so i enjoyed a lot most of the new songs. They sound clean, they sound modern, they sound refreshing. A little bit generic, yeah... but they gave me the same feelings as if i was hearing new unreleased Chester material. What i get is it may be worst for old GD fans, because the songs were modified a lot.... its like LP doing de HT remaster and changing the songs to a more "one more light" style.

Think about of your best friend, okay? Now, you guys have your things that happen together. Nice, you comment about those things with other people. This friend of yours also has things that happened in his life before he met you. Or things happening in his life that do not involves you. And those things you just don't comment about with other people... because they are not related with you. Simple.

Yeah, Get Me Gone lyrics can give a little insight on all of that. When i was young the press made me see LP as a bunch of "Chads"... spoiled kids with rich parents that had no real talent, just money (Chester excluded). I felt a little bit ashamed of "idolizing" their music. Now i see Mike saying they were middle class at the most and everything else we learn about the band's past... it's clear that at the time the press was just being stupid as always.

When i was a kid... 12y/o or so... i started to like LP a lot and i heard a few things that the guys were kind rude with the press. Rumours and such. It was around 2003/04 i think. At the time it got me a little boomed to be a fan of a band with bad guy.... Was this true? The guys were rude/assholes to the press in the early days? Because all i see from them is they being genuenily nice.

The song instrumentals are a little bit generic... but it was awesome to hear Chaz on a very metal tune.

I guess the 5 guys will try to make a new Linkin Park record, a whole new cycle of touring and whatnot, to prove them strong by themselves... And then just after that they may release some Chester stuff. It's a smart move to not rise LP again on Chester's back... but bring LP back as they are right now.

Damn, asking about Holly Brook demanded some balls. There was some problems between her and machine shop, right?
