Agreed 100%. They are really hyped up for this, because they have been away for so long and HT20 really had them stuck inside. They are about to kick ass on the promo.

Mike joined TikTok after his Discord appearance with Dave and Joe doing a Q&A, to do a live stream for fans. Of note - he hinted that Rob's drum track from the Making of Meteora DVD may be on Meteora 20!

Wow the talk about new Linkin Park in this one is really good. Sounds like LP is going to do something. Like, make new music.

Over what? It isn't better than anything that made the album, right? Nobody's Listening maybe?

This is truly great. Agreed huge. Can watch Mike talk LP and Chester for hours. Bring it on, we love getting swamped with press. Rock on!

To celebrate the release day of "Lost", Mike, Joe, and Dave joined Linkin Park's Discord to talk with fans in audio. Joe Hahn had audio problems, but there were some fun moments!

Great news! With the COVID pandemic past us, Linkin Park is now able to do in-person press and this is the first in-person Linkin Park-related interview in years. Mike visited Nicole Alvarez and sat down to discuss the new song "Lost" and the 20th Anniversary box set, the writing process of Meteora, the evolution of the band, "Fighting Myself", new music for Scream VI, and more! When asked about the expectations from the fans about the band, he said: "I'll say this way. Normally, I'm really trying to just manage expectations a little bit, especially lately in the last few years. It's like, there are certain things that are going to be on the table, certain things that are off the table. With this release, shockingly, I was like, 'I don't think there's very much to say it's off the table. Touring is the only thing, we're not touring right now. But the rest of their immagination, where I know their heads are gonna go, it's like, 'Oh, is there this? Is there that? Can we do this? Can we do that?'... I think to a lot of that it's a yes." He concluded saying: "There's just more music. So, I've got stuff I've produced that are other people's songs, got my own song, and we got the Linkin Park stuff. And that's not even everything that we're gonna be doing around this for Linkin Park fans. So, this is a great time to be a Linkin Park fan." "Mike Shinoda stopped by the KROQ studios for a conversation with host Nicole Alvarez about Linkin Park's brand new song "Lost," the band's forthcoming #Meteora 20th anniversary box set, and reveals he has a solo track in the latest 'Scream' movie."

Mike Shinoda sat down with Ted Stryker, a long time Linkin Park fan and supporter, from ALT 98.7 FM to discuss "Lost", the band's new release of "Lost" and more.

Tune in to YouTube on February 16 at 11:00am EST for a YouTube Premium Afterparty for Linkin Park's new "Lost" music video.

What do you think it is?

An entirely separate demo they were working on....? lol

BBB is Brad. The recorder goes through several clips. No, lol, it doesn't say that at all. That's not what that means. They are different clips.

Thoughts That Take Away My Pride clip on TikTok, wow. What a time lol.

It certainly seems that way with what Mike is hinting at. His comments about LP needing a Discord for more than Meteora, Meteora 20 is only one of the reasons to get hyped, etc.... sounds like LP will be doing something. But no tour.

Something seems to have changed or got messed up timing-wise because Warner released all of the Meteora 20 box sets on the one day, the info is STILL up on their site over a week (two weeks now?) later, and Hot Topic has Meteora 20 merch out. Wonder why Warner didn't take the info down if they leaked it early.

So many of us are so much older than what the target Discord community is lol. That chatroom program-style stuff was very 2004-2005. Social media is much better than Discord now. Twitter runs circles around it. Literally no interest in joining a Discord.

No update today, maybe something broke. Seems weird to take a day off.

We are going to hit 1,000 replies before Meteora 20 is even ANNOUNCED lol If that's not hype x1000 I don't know what is. Epic.

lol if you really pay attention, which we haven't, we can see Fiore hiding shit right in our faces for 15+ years. The Live in Texas TV special has proshot clips of the Seoul show, and it looks great. It also has proshot video of Tokyo Budokan Night 2, which would be great to have someday. That was an epic show, but Seoul is definitely the one to release from the tour as it was a stadium. LPTV PR04 has Denver proshot clips all over it, which are easy to tell now because that venue has no roof like a traditional amphitheater. He's very smart with editing because he will hide it in the beginning, middle and end around other clips but if you pay attention, it's all there. How did we not recognize this years ago? Entirely possible Manila footage is the stuff hanging out at the end of the LPTV Europe/Asia episode from before PR04 too, but we've never seen video/photos/anything from that show so we don't know. All of this was hiding plain as day for years. Just like the PR02 DVD clip was hiding in the Making of Meteora when Don Gilmore was talking about Chester.

Click reply, at the bottom left click "Choose files" and upload it. "Work In Progress" was a phrase they used for the Meteora album at that time and it's on the art wall too like you linked. Pretty cool. The song itself is not speculation, I mean the fact that it comes in the teaser campaign is speculation. It might, but what if it doesn't? lol

The thing about "Lost" is it's just speculation, we don't have anything confirmed that says that song is coming from the website so we can't set unrealistic expectations. Warner leaked stuff and at least some of that was placeholder information like the DVD title. I'm sure Lost is on the CD, sure, but is it the song coming from linkinpark.com? Who knows. But whatever they do at the end of the website thing will be awesome. They don't let us down on these teaser campaigns, they always deliver. The HT20 one was A+.

In one of the funniest videos the band has posted in quite some time, check out Joe Hahn and Mike Shinoda celebrating the new plaque from Spotify that congratulates them on 'Numb' reaching 1 billion streams!

That's the band's 2004 show outro. Something Mike or Joe made.

They did a very bad job contacting the purchasers of the box set. This is on the label. The USA people didn't get any sort of emails, right? We had to go out of our way to ask for a link from someone in the UK/Europe with a link to apply for replacement pieces. It was geographically restricted it seems. And if you didn't buy it through Warner you were screwed it seems. WTF?
