Well Joe is part of Papercuts video commentary, so I dont think he’s gone

Joe could just not really be a part of key decision making as much anymore, doesn’t mean he’s gone.

So what does the 03 mean….?

To be honest, I don't know. I don't know if we missed a song, or if it's something else.

 

Here's an update to this list:

 

11. One More Light
12. Burn It Down
13. What I’ve Done
14. ???
15. One Step Closer
16 New Divide
17. Leave Out All The Rest
18. Lost
19. Numb

 

 There could be a 20 too

Another thing that makes me believe this rumour is that Mike hasn’t piped up to debunk it yet, he’s normally pretty quick to deconfirm stuff like this to keep fan expectations in check.

Guess we gotta keep an eye on the BMI database thing to see if any new entries pop up.

Is it just me, or am I seeing another coincidence with "Fighting Myself" and "Papercut"?

 

We all know that the working title of "Figure.09" ("Plaster 2"/"Plaster II") is a reference to the "One Step Closer" demo name of "Plaster", which is also referring to the intro riff in the song. And because of that, I can basically be said that "Figure.09" is the sequel to "One Step Closer". We also know that "Fighting Myself" is, basically said, the sequel to "Papercut".

 

But I realized something else that's interesting concerning "Papercut" and "Fighting Myself". The working titles. While they aren't exactly the same, they look very similar to each other. Papercut's working title is "Papercut", while Fighting Myself's working title is "Shortcut". Both working titles are 8 letter words, and they both end with the word "cut".

 

This was just something interesting that I realized as another very interesting coincidence between the two songs.

I feel like people get very tinfoil hat like with their conspiracies on what went into writing each album but honestly sounds plausible.

personally I’ve noticed a connection between Massive and Session, particularly the breakbeat drums. Perhaps Massive was gutted of its vocals and guitars and Session is what became of it after Mike experimented with the beats. You could also say they’re two seven letter words with a double S. Hell even Wesside is 7 letters with a double S.

Considering they joked about how hybrid theory did so well that they were going to do everything the same (at least as far as the tours go) and then that tentative album got trashed before they came up with the majority of Meteora, perhaps they almost made a hybrid theory 2 but felt like it didnt do enough to push the boundaries of the band as a second album should? Makes a lot of sense

Yeah Mike sorry this aint it, putting a few notes out of key and calling it “dissonant” isn’t a remix c’mon man

also please stop with the sped up / slowed down tiktok meme versions

Talking about cinematic remixes...

I need the My December cinematic remix that was used in something related to video games.

Pretty sure that was used in the game awards in december of 2020

It is, but it's unreleased demo.

 

Yeah, I forgot those.

 

BTW, I believe they made "Shortcut" from "Program". It sounds like if they trimmed guitars out of it and shortened them. It would answear the question why it is called "Shortcut".

Bit of a stretch tbh I don’t think there’s a lot of thought that goes into the working titles, it’s just so they have something to refer to.

Idk, just seems odd that they created an account 2 days ago, only posted in that Reddit thread, and contradicted themselves on the topic of Resolution. They said both that it was a demo for Lost and that it was a new one for them. 

Doesn’t sound reliable at all. There would be more people talking about it if that was the case

From just the first piano notes in the song, it is a recognizable as the track and follows Mike Shinoda's commentary on Twitch recently that the song would be included on Meteora|20.

**Tiktok live, not Twitch

See the thing about “Resolution” being an early demo of Lost is that this demo is nearly 5 minutes long and longer than anything else we’ve ever heard in terms of Meteora era demos. Lost was only 3:19. Highly doubtful this one has a sitch like Primo/I’ll Be Gone cause they weren’t THAT experimental back in the day.

it's weird to lie about demo of unreleased track when it comes out but reveal Rob's track info when he was asked on tiktok

But I can believe in the version that he has a leaky memory

He never explicitly said anything about it though just that we’d “find out soon enough” regarding which demo it was in lost demos.

1 hour ago, dronnin said:

it is doubtful. On a call in the discord, Mike was asked about this line in early version "Lost" and he went to check this piece, after that he wonder and did not remember this line. 99% chance he'd listened to all the lost demos by that moment. So this words can't be on "Lost demos".

He said that they tried using those lyrics in the bridge, probably because by that point they had already written a better chorus, but instead dropped those lyrics entirely for “I try to keep this pain inside but I will never be alright”.

also, i can't get out my head that this version of Healing Foot has a different drum take than the Making Of, sounds very programmed (btw, same drum from Broken Foot)
and that drum fill (from the brigde) isn't there...
i wonder what's the background of this.

He could’ve just been practicing over that song and then it never was actually recorded as they decided to go with other songs over HF

I’ve got Major news about the songs:

 

 

The rob drum track is “Healing Foot”

 

“Resolution” is likely to be the demo version of “Lost”.

I don’t know what “Wesside” and “Massive” are but will probably be brand new demos to us or possibly more complete versions of familiar demos.. Exciting stuff!!

 

Also, the special QR code could very likely be or include the original 2002 mix of Lost we’re getting also on the deluxe CD. Maybe it’ll be added at some point on streaming services too. That’d be really awesome.

More the victim is cumulus + Mike singing faint in a slower pace. Fighting myself is similar to Figure.09. I can't believe they left Fighting myself Out of the album!

It sounds nothing like Figure.09 lmao. closer to Hit The Floor tbh.

Still the track is amazing and it has an insane bounce and rap flow on it. Mike is being silly when he says the best LP songs aren’t hidden away on old hard drives.

So More The Victim is Cumulus with vocals? Does the instrumental sound the same as the released demo or is it updated?

Can't wait to listen when I get home from work!!

it is like 95% the same just a bit more polished + Mr Hahn scratches.

Now do we have the 15 songs with vocals?

Lost, Fighting Myself, and More The Victim are the three tracks that were left off Meteora it seems. So that makes 15. Safe to assume the other demos are instrumentals or have unfinished/rough vocals.

Also WHY WEREN’T THESE ON METEORA I agree 100% with Chester “the more the merrier”.

Okay so Lost is damn amazing and I’m convinced that it was swapped out for Numb at the last minute because it’s not as great a closer as Numb is but it definitely retains the classic Meteora ballad feel. I for one am glad the chorus was rewritten because you can hear how frustrated chester was with the vocals on making of, he probably thought they were too boring himself haha. Like damn I wanna scream, let me scream instead.

I was the fan who put the album on Genius, lol.

 

If Lost (2002 Mix) doesn't show up on the tracklist of the boxset with the listings of it or digitally on Apple Music after the announcement is made, then I'll ask someone on Genius to remove it.

Lmao what have you started 😂

People on the LP subreddit are saying it’s real because Genius posted the tracklist 😂

True, welp, time will tell. This is one of the longest 7 hour periods of my life.

Wesside?

Maybe that wasn't the full tracklist. Maybe there were some mistakes that they made when they put them up temporarily. Maybe Lost (2002 Mix) is an exclusive with the digital download of the album and on streaming platforms. I guess we'll find out later today.

I don’t see the point in releasing something like that on streaming services when it will not be a part of the boxset. Would confuse people as to why it wasn’t included and would be less incentive to genuinely want to spend over 200 bucks on something that doesn’t feel complete.

Also I’m 99% certain the 2002 mix was only ever mentioned here in a leak or in the other thread, then listed on genius.com by a fan with the rest of it, and therefore its existence and inclusion in the lost demos could be entirely fabricated to throw people off.

it’s incredible that we’re even getting the finished version. Including two versions of the same song on the one disc where everything else is completely unique doesn’t sound like something LP or Warner would want to do, realistically.

who knows at this point though, maybe the reason why Warner took it down had nothing to do with the timing or the countdown, maybe parts of it were wrong as well.

Which stream was this? 

August 7th, my question was the second one that day, about 1 hour 56mins in. He even pulled up the youtube link on stream.

06. Rob's Meteora drum track

 

In the Making of Meteora DVD, a clip of Rob playing drums over a nice instrumental is seen in a brief video clip. This track is frequently talked about in the community, but it's just one of those tiny clips on the DVD that no one knows anything about.

 

Unfortunately no information has ever surfaced about the song. It is actually surprising that it is not in one of the many Meteora instrumentals the band has released, which could mean it was either scrapped entirely early on, or it is actually in one of the few unreleased full songs from the sessions.

Mike answered my shinodabucks question about this one. (Twitch username: xandersilk)

From what he said on stream:

1. He remembers the demo but not the name.

2. He said there is a heavier part after the Chorus, what we heard in that short clip may or may not be the chorus but judging by Mike’s reaction to it, it probably is the chorus.

3. It was put aside in favor of the tracks they already had for Meteora, which I assume was stuff like Figure.09, Faint, Lying From You, From The Inside and Somewhere I Belong. He said himself and the rest of the band didn’t “love it” as much as the other tracks.
