That's awesome! Imagine what it feels like to those local musicians. In a hypotetical situation, imagine you're a garage/bar/instagram amateur musician and then you're invited to play a 40 min set with mike shinoda in the main stage of a festival. Great idea too keep LP alive without replacing LP. It's a tribute band with the "main" member being part of it.

We have a new meme born right there. Those AO versions surpasses all BID versions, remixes and releases we had.

Latest "mood" post on Shinoda's instagram has a new FM logo at the end

Wow, that girl vocalist got me jawdropping. Literal chills. Amazing voice. Seems like there's a series of other sessions like that one coming up in other cities around the world. Maybe that's what "Mike Shinoda & Friends" means? I totally dig a full Linkin Park concert always changing the guests in all songs (Hollywood Bowl-like)

"not having guests that scream" he said that specifically.

Damn i always forgot how i love release cycles and all the hype around it.

man, i'm really nitpicking here but i had to comment: why so many music videos show the drummer playing something that doesn't fit at all with the moment of song? Like, playing the wrong notes. Can't be that hard to match it with the songbeat/tempo. A little off topic, but: "It's even worst on animations, there's this amazing video "drums are never animated correctly"

Maybe it's a re-release to gather attention for a new tour coming up

I keep thinking what are those guys doing on all of their "spare" time in the last 5 years. Mike we all know, is busy still producing. But what is Rob doing with his life? I mean, he can't only be surfing all day long 24/7. And Brad, we heard of him producing only 2 songs or something like that. What are they doing in their lifes?

The singing in the outro is mindblowing

Sometimes LP team is outstanding at marketing decision and sometimes they make some incomprehensible moves. Lost was so big, why didn't they follow that up properly with Fighting Myself and More The Victim? Hope this move right now helps a little bit more.

What doest PLZ Tethered means?

Would be cool for NOT ALONE to be part of some of those releases. And i remember Mike and Chester had a studio session with WATSKY on July 2017. Could be the last recording ever from Chester. Guess it would fit on a OML 20th release. Looking For An Answer could be on OML20th too.

Do not forget the Umbrella cover ProShot we've never had.

How many sales HT20 had? And how's MT20 doing?

The singing in Massive was really supposed to be that way, done by Mike, or it was just a placeholder for Chester singing it later?

Let's list some good questions here so everyone can help on sending them

There's a point between Massive and Promises I Can't Keep that validates LP going onwards with Mike on vocals. The Massive breakdown made some connections with Qwerty for me, i could draw a line on how they went from Meteora to experimenting with Qwerty. This breakdown is absurd to look at, how avant-garde it was. Here we are 20 years later and all metalcore and alt metal bands are doing that all over. Eletronic beats and a heavy break.

Which release (album or song) do you think the band had confidence it would perform well but flopped? There are a few releases the band knew it would'nt be popular, but what about the ones they thought it would? Lost is clearly the opposite, way more successful than anyone could predict.

They're in a impossible situation. They want to move on but don't know how. Just time will tell. Time will sort things out.

The chorus goest "lost my dignity" and the bridge would be "take away my pride". it would be waaaay redundant. I'm glad they cut it off.

i remember LITE had a unique music video release too... it had something with our facebook pictures appearing as the pictures the actors are holding in the video. The only bad thing about LITE was not having the band showing up at some point.

it hit me right now... MIKE and PR knew how this interview would go, and releasing MTV and FM was a way to distract from all the Chester stuff that would come out. People would focus way more on the new songs than on the interview itself. Great move by PR team. They found a way to put an open hearted, honest and kinda rough interview out there without too much focus just on it.

This song is nostalgic, that's it. Very formulaic, easy to see why it didn't make the cut. Some of it, don't know why, reminds me of NOT ALONE. Nonetheless, it's a great experience listening to oldnew LP material. I loved the beggining of the second verse, it's a Chester we've never heard before. Ge sings "but i'm tired" and you can really feel it in his voice. Thanks LP for allowing us to hear a little more Chester stuff ❤️

Listened to it 2 times. Not gonna listen the snippet anymore. In previous releases i kept hearing all the snnippets over and over and it kinda ruins the experience of hearing the full song first time.
