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.

https://lplive.net/2003/

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?

This is fucking awesome. Love all the little teasers to figure stuff out. They know this fanbase and definitely read the room correctly, giving us a good teaser campaign. The band's website looks good. To be honest, just a normal countdown to reveal all the info today would have been pretty lame because they did so much more for Hybrid Theory 20. The "Pictureboard" -> "InYourself.mp3" thing was so cool, and the band emails, file names, etc. Loved all of that. Looking forward to more of the Meteora stuff. We already know the package is coming in March, no reason to rush an announcement if they can do a cool unveiling of it. Nice work by them so far, because building on the whole computer theme from HT (which is still very relevant for Meteora) is sweet.

HT20 is still available everywhere. "Limited Super Deluxe Edition" etc is just sales marketing to get people to buy it. There are enough for fans lol As we said in 2020, they wanted to release something else in the RaR spot but weren't able to. There are still plenty of HT shows to release for HT30, HT40, etc. They need to put the audio on vinyl for sure. Was just thinking about that yesterday. That's an epic show.

Thanks!

Could be, but he put unreleased clips of beats on The Sequel DVD to be funny. He's always done that when editing stuff. It's hilarious.

Over an HOUR of new video? Wow. Watch us get clips of other unreleased demos LOL, Fiore loves teasing fans like that.

They definitely have more than what he is leading on. This amount of content for Meteora that is released they have for MTM, but they released the MTM songs with vocals already. But that's ok, put them on a CD anyway. And a few demos. ATS, LT, THP, OML may have a few fully finished non-album songs but they definitely have demos for days. Imagine how many demos MTM, ATS, and OML have. THP and LT may not have nearly as many but that's totally ok. Did not know that about the song board. What else is interesting about it? What other songs had vocals that we only have in instrumental form? Not super surprised because Cumulus is such a great demo and is better than some of the album tracks, even.

Why do you think Cumulus is the working title for another song? Why would Cumulus not just be Cumulus, the LPU demo from Meteora? lol

That makes sense. Probably with Reanimation and then the band was finishing Meteora that year, they didn't want too many releases out there at once. Yeah, agreed about the talking being cut. It's very strange and takes away from the listening experience. Glad we have the DVD but yes, one with the band talking would be great. They have that epic speech by Chester before My December that is cut out of the DVD and pasted into the The Sequel DVD. It looks like judging by The Sequel DVD, they may have more PR02 footage possibly of another show. And then Colorado Springs, maybe that was filmed too. We will see one day! Glad we have the show on HT20 though. Yes - Summer Sonic 06 is absolutely epic. I was afraid if it wasn't on Meteora 20 then it maybe wouldn't ever be released. We will have to wait a few years, but maybe they'd put it out in 2026. Who knows. But man, that's an epic one.
