Yesterday Sean Dowdell live streamed from Grey Daze official Instagram account. He got a tattoo on his hand in honor of Chester and answered some questions by the fans. Here’s a recap of the most relevant answers. - the first single off the new record is coming in the next 90 days. - they already have title and cover for the album but can’t share yet. - the album is heavier both vocally and instrumentally than Amends. - “Starting to Fly” will be a single and it’s totally different from the original song. - “Hole” Is different from the leaked 2018 demo. - Lily and Lyla (Chester's kids) are singing on a song. - Richard Patrick from Filter is on a song. - “Holding You” features Dave Navarro and has a different title. - The band will release the original records on vinyl at the end of this year or in 2023 (the live stream was laggy at that point so I could not properly understand everything). - He and Chester wrote lyrics for 5 songs back in 2017. - There’s probably going to be a third remix/ rework record but they’ll see what material they have left. - The new record is 10 songs. - His favorite LP song is Lying From You. - Some songs contain different vocal takes from Chester. You can find the full thing on Grey Daze social media, I’m sure I missed something so check that out yourself! 😉

They ste re-releasing both records on vinyl by the end of the year or in 2023, Sean just said it in a live stream

Lol. Worst Mike collab ever besides Grandson

K. Fine

Ask the band, they reply on IG/FB

I think there are a lot of demos from THP and OML era since we basically have zero THP demos and only WAYW from OML. I hop we'll get them sooner than later but we'll most likely wait literally years to get them. As someone said before, it's very unlikely that LP comeback will be a LPU CD with demos

Yeah !!! That’s the vibe. Like, listen to the “standard” version of Richard Backman, the instrumentals remind me of Xero A LOT

Ziggurats is very close to this style

The only thing that it's weird IMO is that they are releasing old school GD stuff in parallel with the "reworking/remixing" project begun with Amends. All good, don't get me wrong, but it's strange

That would basically freak me out TBH 😍😍

“My friend Sean”, I don’t know him. Anyway, I personally don’t care much about this version or the date (with all the obvious due respect to the poor Benish, God bless him). Don’t get why everything Grey Daze does gets scrutinized in every single aspect and harshly criticized, just listen to the song if you enjoy it or ignore it if you don’t like it, that’s my POV.

I went through phases with this project: 1 oh again NFT shit; 2 oh it has rapping in it, I’ll check it out; 3 ok the preview sounds cool; 4 MIKE FUCKING SHINODA IS BACK. lol

Do you really care THAT much ? I agree they should have called it “1997 version/ take/whatever, but is that really important?

I’d really love something like this but bigger, like, a proper EP, 6 tracks

I love the beginning of Cheat Codes, sounds like the best of Dropped Frames mixed with a Living Things demo. It has something of that LPU demo called “Animals”

I think, personally, this format is perfect. I mean maybe a bit longer like 4 full tracks running for 3 minutes each, but a full album of, say, 12 tracks with a 30+ minutes length would probably be too much for this style. Anyway, love this project, some of the best bars by Mike in years

Same does Mike sometimes when he messes up 1997 and 1998 lol

Thanks! This EP also reminds me a lot of the vibe/style Mike adopted in 2016 for that verse on “Like Riding a bike”, with many pop culture references (damn Daniel! Apple/Spotify ...)

Dope project !! I hope there’s more to come

Sean wrote on IG “the first of many more gifts to come”. So we’ll have more stuff too!

👍🏼

I only heard the snippets on Mike’s social media

So Genius Bar is the one we heard in the first snippet (the “Steve Jobs of the Underdogs, drop jaws ... I got Genius Bar”) and “Richard Bachman” is the one we heard the snippet last week where he actually raps “I’m hiding a King like Richard Bachman”

So it seems we are getting 3 actual songs judging by the length, I wish there was at least a 3 min song but ok, they are longer than Victimized and #1 and #4 are longer than war

Same ! Good Fort Minor/UIB, WAIF vibes
