I know it's been 7 years since this happened, but does anyone have the leaked version of "Waiting for Tomorrow" that was mentioned years ago? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I didn’t think to ask this until now, but, would the band consider adding “Pretend to Be” to it, potentially, as it sounds more like a ‘Minutes to Midnight’ demo despite it being from 2008. Edit: Never mind, someone mentioned the song among other Minutes to Midnight songs (even “Blackbirds” and “Not Alone”, which were also originally created during the ‘Minutes to Midnight’ album sessions, but were finished at a later time) that should be on streaming when this does happen.

I can’t see the screenshot. Could you upload it elsewhere, perhaps? Also, since it’s highly unlikely anything older than 1999 will ever get released officially, maybe the band wouldn’t really care if Dave Garrett and Jeff Blue share the Xero demos (at the very least). I mean, Mike didn’t really care too much with the Xero A&R tape, from what I can remember. I remembered something about as long as it wasn’t under the Linkin Park name, it wasn’t a problem, or something like that. I could be misremembering that part.

I haven't mentioned it yet, but now that you've brought it up, someone commented on my YouTube video of the fixed version of "Deftest" a couple weeks ago, saying this: I replied back to him if it's legit and if there's proof. He replied back with this: I replied back to that comment asking if he has a Discord and never responded back to me, so, unfortunately, I guess that's a dead end, as well, unless you guys can try to ask him about, somehow. He could be lying, too, for all we know.

I have seen that some people think that the song is about Chester. At first, I thought that too, but now that I've thought more about it, it's most likely not about him. I have 2 ways of interpreting what the song is truly about: 1. The song is about not letting the memories of loved ones and those you care about (like friends and family) go away and to remember those memories of them long after their deaths. 2. The song is about a friend that hasn't been gone from your life for so long, yet, you still keep the memories you had with them with you, despite that friend not being a part of your life for so long. There can definitely be more ways to interpret what the meaning of the song is, but those are the 2 interpretations I have come up with for what the meaning of the song is.

That's perfectly fine, lol. I still can't figure out those two lines in the 2nd verse, though. Even when I slow the song down, I can't completely tell what he's saying during those lines (the ones with the "[?]").

Since there's this topic now, I guess I'll share the lyrics now (of what I could understand):

I know what he's talking about with the clicking in the chorus. I can hear that. Here's a part of it at the beginning of the song in the backing stem (it's also in the choruses, as well), and that same part with the volume increased. It can be more clearly heard in the one with the volume increased. Also, you can hear the strings from the verses of the song in the bass stem, if you listen very closely. This is the bass from the first verse to the bridge (which should also include the 808 bass he mentioned). As for the synth, I'm not sure what he's talking about there.

There's an extra part that you're forgetting. At around 0:23 in the video, you can hear this: "[?] (Not sure what he's saying at the beginning), just to say my name Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine" Also, I can hear an "and" before "they" in "they will cut you open, just to watch you bleed"

The stems come from Fortnite. Also, I was wondering if the "fucking" part of "so fucking naive" could be restored in the Fortnite vocals stem while removing the choir vocals from the original acapella in the acapellas / acapellas & instrumentals albums of 'From Zero'. I have yet to figure out a way to remove the choir from the main vocals in the original acapella. The Fortnite vocals stem for "The Emptiness Machine" doesn't have the choir (which, honestly, makes the vocals cleaner, in my opinion).

With the fact that we now have the stems for “The Emptiness Machine”, “Up From the Bottom” and “Faint”, it makes me think that there may be a chance for us to get stems to Linkin Park tracks of which we don’t have the stems of (two big ones for me being “A Place For My Head” [a song from Hybrid Theory that we don’t have the stems of] and “From the Inside” [which is the only single from Meteora that we don’t have the stems of].

I don’t think it was confirmed what the working title to “Numb” is.

I wonder that too, and while I also would like to know if that would happen one day, it's probably unlikely that it'll happen, but, who knows. Also, this topic is about Grey Daze shows, so this is kinda unrelated to this specific topic, lol.

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?
