The songs are available to stream on LP's YouTube. So, glad we didn't ask a question to the band about Serpent and Nocturnal. There is no Serpent, it's Shortcut which is Fighting Myself. And they are working on a fourth unknown song. So, Nocturnal is either Numb or Nobody's Listening. And one doesn't have a title yet (the other song that isn't Nocturnal). The new photo from the DVD clears up a lot. And as we know now, Resolution = Lost.

Why do you think that? Haven't seen it. That show was also filmed with just a few cameras (all of them were) so editing something would be odd unless they were trying to get more band members in view and the black screens were during that part or something. Context: Sometimes some of the shows have the black screens due to them being in-house feeds, but not during the Denver transitions. Can't get enough of Nottingham, been listening all day.

Good to know. It looks really good on a computer.

There are things the band isn't involved with for releases lol, they would have literally no idea about this. Mike doesn't even remember from 2022 if he sang on Massive or not. The label and management do the things like upgrade quality on things (music videos, etc) and do the animated videos on YouTube for the songs, etc. Not a shot that Mike, Dave, Brad, and whoever else shows up Monday would know anything about what quality or method was used on Live in Texas in 2023 lol Nailed it. Lost needed a modern mix for the 2023 release. Joanthan Davis and there is a camera on the stage, like IN the stage, right in his face. Really cool. Manila is filmed with literally like 3 cameras total and the show is just incredible.

That LPA letter is in the press copy, I think. Not the main copy. Lost 2023 mix is much better than the 2002 mix, they made a great decision to mix it fresh again for 2023 standards and not be so bludgeoning for the guitars. Live shows - the DVDs are not professionally filmed for release. Remember, they filmed Live in Texas and then had Detroit and Rock am Ring on TV so there was no need to record more shows. So these are venue feeds of what was on the screens. Manila is like 3 cameras only and it's EPIC. Denver has like, cameras that were built in on the stage so you are inches from Jonathan Davis's face, etc... I mean the shows are just insane. Yes the transitions between songs are there in video. It's all there... the intros (Gacela) and Slayer 2003 were licensed for this release so they cut absolutely nothing. None of the DVDs look bad at all, they just aren't Live in Texas style with a billion dollars of production equipment filming it everywhere, it's more minimalist but you see everything, have everything there. They are AMAZING. Nottingham's quality upgrade is amazing. Hit the Floor and Easier to Run are both very good on there, wow. And Live in Texas's videos are upgraded on YouTube too. Man, this is so epic.

The 2004 live shows are INCREDIBLE in this release.

Yeah Resolution being a Lost demo is confirmed by Brad. It just underwent significant changes. @IWillWalkAway is correct. We said it was impossible weeks ago lol

It is, and it is confirmed by Brad in the track-by-track. And the LP teaser campaign using Resolution on the TikTok tape video for the Lost promo. The band themselves consider Lost a Resolution demo, even though it is wildly different. It shares the bridge becoming the chorus of Lost, and synths, etc in the song. And that is why Resolution is on the NRG song board - it became Lost. Agreed - it has been epic. No Snoop.

Huge day for the Linkin Park community. Glad to celebrate it all with you!

LPU members can attend this event now. First in person LP event since the Hollywood Bowl, right?

This is unbelievable lol

Shifter is awesome. Totally great vibes from that one.

Incredible post!

Now that is a great question. It doesn't look like it is a "band reacts" video, but hopefully they will do one. The HT20 Q&A premiered the Projekt Revolution 2002 show, right?

Linkin Park has announced, "We are celebrating the release of Meteora|20 with a Global Fan Q&A livestream. Become an LP Underground member for your chance to be a part of the live conversation in Los Angeles and we’ll see everyone on the livestream. Submit your questions via video and tune in on April 10th at 11am PT (link in our bio)" Fans will submit questions via video on the LP Underground and can watch on the Linkin Park YouTube and Facebook as well as on Mike's Twitch channel. As the announcement says "...with members of Linkin Park", it is possible that this will not be the entire band.

The new Linkin Park Underground, that Linkin Park teased at the end of 2022, has launched today at www.lpunderground.com. There is no exclusive music for this LPU, but the site does come with integration into Discord for the Discord users. Who has renewed or checked out the new LPU?

Wow now that is a very unique track.

Yeah anything is possible with that song board if we don't know what Serpent and Nocturnal are, and we need song titles for Numb and Nobody's Listening still. And yeah, Lost and Resolution are a part of that discussion too. Surely there is a different song board photo from somewhere in the process. Maybe in the Meteora|20 book?

A6, Husky, Resolution so far for sure.

At one point on the BBC Radio 1 interview I thought they had taken the same audio of Brad talking to the German girl and used it for that, but that's because he did so many interviews in a row he was using some of the same talking points and words lol

There appears to be some bad blood between LP and Jeff, for their own personal reasons. The band doesn't reflect on the HT sessions as being super friendly/fun... in fact they say it was very stressful etc so that definitely has a lot to do with it. Even by Jeff's own admission they wanted Jeff to stand up for them more to the label and blah blah, in his book he gets into the small details about how the band saw things versus how he saw things.

A6 definitely seems earlier than A-Six and of course A.06 came last. It's very raw so this must be one of the earliest versions that exists. Would like to hear Chester on it one day, he was so familiar with it he even commented on it publicly about the track (saying they used it for Meteora promo in late 2002 in a commercial).

The story about BTH and OML is cool. First time Mike has talked in a very long time about Drawing becoming BTH. For some of it it was almost like he had read the wiki pages about the songs before talking about them lol

Yeah that is a great point. No one here knows everything, we are in fact wrong all the time about stuff lol. Like, frequently. So let's see when it's released what's going on with the track. And what about Broken Foot into Healing Foot, are there any similarities whatsoever at all? Surely the band knew when they named it Healing Foot they already had a Broken Foot, though.

Tried to get the rips of the band members talking on Sirius about HT20, as there was important info there. No luck with it from the LP team, but will try again now that this is happening again for Meteora.
