Where did you find these samples? They sound cool! Edit: Also, I think I was able to figure out a loop idea for "Most Kings", using the samples you provided: https://voca.ro/197mxrEGwoTO

I forgot to ask, but were the Chester 1999 Xero versions of "Carousel", "Part of Me" and "And One" the same instrumentally as the Hybrid Theory EP versions of the songs, or did they sound different, and if so, how different?

The ones with an asterisk (*) beside means that it's unknown what version of the song that is.

This is the theme, correct?: I can kinda hear a little bit of the inspiration for it in this song.

Did someone ask him about the "Much Too Easy" ("By Myself") demo when LPLive met with Jeff?

It's him showing off his collection of Xero/Hybrid Theory/Linkin Park demos that he got over the years. No idea if he will put them out to the public. He would have to get permission from Warner & Linkin Park first if we wants to put them out to the public.

For Xero, you're also missing the 1998 Xero versions of "Carousel" "Step Up", and "Stick N Move".

With this information, now I need to know what the lyrics are to “Ashes” and “Turn to Grey”, despite “Turn to Grey” being a huge mess of a song, lol. This makes me want to hear these demos even more. Also, did you get to hear the 1998 Xero demos versions of “Carousel”, “Step Up”, and “Stick N Move”?

I know, it’s crazy. Who knows, lol. The only way we’ll find out what the NBA Inside Stuff track is is if we manage to get our hands on the episodes of the series from 1997/98/99. I honestly think that “Pointillism” is “So Far Away” but just Mike doing all the vocals, since it was something Mike came up with for a soundtrack, though, I could be end up being wrong.

I found another sample. The "staindcy" sample comes from the Staind song "Raw". I'll see if I can find some more.

I've got a better version of it that I upscaled using AI. Relative Degree 1996 Poster (Mark Wakefield) [Upscaled w/ AI] - 1996 post - Imgur For some reason, it's not wanting to be inserted as an image. Edit: Also, here are the band logos on the poster, cropped to just the logos (both the original cropped images to just the logos and just the logos with the background removed (made transparent) with AI). Relative Degree Band Logos (1996) [Transparent & Original] (Upscaled w/ AI) - 1996 post - Imgur Edit 2: Fixed the second link. For some reason or another, the post was hidden, so I had to make it public again.

I wonder if Mike has more photos from this show and other shows.

Intriguingly, the song (“Three Coins In The Fountain”) was also sampled in the soundtrack of Brad Stoker’s Dracula in 1992. Specifically, the track that uses the sample is called “Mina’s Photo”. I think it’s a case of it being sampled by another artist, but it’s really interesting, nonetheless. I wonder if the band knew of the song being sampled by someone else before them. Edit: For those who are wondering how I found out about this information, someone in the comments of the YouTube video of “Technique (Short)” said something about it, specifically, this:

I just thought of something just now. Maybe someone could do the same like this, but for the album names and album logos.

How did I miss this? Lol. I agree that this came out of nowhere.
