I've said it a million times, but LP could have released a thousand songs from the HT/Meteora era's and I would've listened to them all over and over and over the last 20+ years.

Pretty much how everyone feels right? No one wants LP done, but figuring out how to do it effectively yet still honorably is very difficult.

I appreciate almost any interview that goes outside the norm. It's why Stern has been so successful for such a long time and you see it in things like Hot Ones etc. Asking the not-so-stock questions really helps to get a better sense of the band and their music and intra-band dynamic that we would never get otherwise. I think nearly everyone here would be lying if they said they never thought about most of those questions Stern asked Mike yesterday.

Add a sick bridge and memorable beat/tone/piano part and this is the LP formula. They could make 500 songs like this and I'd still put them on shuffle until the end of time.

Years and years of playing LP instrumental demos on shuffle, imagining the guys vocals. To hear MTV after listening to Cumulus a thousand times is unreal. Give me more please.

Great interview. I'm still a little hesitant to say that LP is going to make new music again, but I'm excited for whatever else Mike is teasing. I have a feeling it's more of his personal work, not LP music, and I'll be more than happy with that.

Hearing the guys in real time go on youtube for the TTTAMP clip and discuss it during this Q&A is so awesome. A small snippet that has been played over and over and enhanced by the Linkin Park fan CSI team 1 billion times gets clarified in about 2 minutes by the band. Nearly 20 years since this thread: https://www.lpassociation.com/forum/threads/lyrics-from-an-unreleased-song.3338/

The interview video is excellent. Mike with a lot of hinting at LP doing more stuff in the near future. Great to get more insight into Meteora.

I have the same exact feeling. Very B-sidey, a little unpolished. To me even though it's a full song it feels a bit closer to Debris than say Numb.

I agree here. I can see why Lost or She Couldn't didn't make the cut or fit the albums, same with Primo. To me the only true bonafide mistake LP made is leaving No Roads Left off that album. Besides Mike not wanting to sing that song live every show, I don't know how you could justify omitting it.

Exact same thing I thought of. No Roads Left is still my #1 can't-believe-they-left-it-off-the-album song, but this one is right there. It is easily should have made it over Nobody's Listening.

Does anyone remember what post on Linkinpedia talks about how LP watched another band's set during a tour and said they were really good we need to step up. So the next day LP crushed it with a lot more energy and I think the other band was impressed by how LP can just turn it up. I know this is super vague but I've probably read this on Linkinpedia 10 times but always forget what link it's under and how I get there.

I remember exactly where I was, sitting on a park bench when someone let me listen to Numb on their MP3 player. I had heard LP before, but I never really listened until that day. I'll never forget that feeling of listening to the intro for the first time, it was really magical. I think the next couple of days were spent listening to some of their other songs and burning my own CD with my favorites. I remember it went Numb, Papercut, then Somewhere I Belong as the first 3 songs. 18 years later, I have hundreds of songs, live shows, and demos on my phone that I listen to daily. This album IS Linkin Park to me. Changed my whole world of music too.

Primo ❤️

Which is a shame because I think most would agree that the newer/ wrong version is the worst of the two. I can't believe after all this time it's still not fixed. I can understand NRL & Across the Line being getting tweaked by mistake because they are bonus tracks, but SOTD's chorus? Crazy.

That favorite song video is fantastic. Must watch.

Especially for that era. Shows off their depth starting from even the late 90s. Can't believe it took over 20 years to officially release.

I've listened to/ sung this song about 20 times with my newborn son in the last 24 hours. Just great that we have a clean mastered track after all these years. Would've been amazing if they had played this one live. They just have too many good tracks that didn't make studio albums. Geniuses from the very beginning.

The leaked version was with Mark. The one we are getting with HT20 is with Chester on vocals.

Mike just confirmed on stream that not all songs are with Chester. Guess we will get the Xero songs with Mark.
