I would add more tracks to it, maybe 3 or 4 more tracks. I would add these to the tracklist: 13. Carousel (Xero Demo) 14. Slip (Xero Demo) 15. Step Up (Xero Demo) 16. Stick N Move (Demo 1998) Probably 'The Pricks', 'Karma', and 'Relative Degree' tracks could be put on another CD, probably named "Forgotten Earlier Band Demos", but that would probably have too many tracks, lol. It would probably have 20+ tracks in total.

The ones that are in bold are possible to make in studio version form, so I can try to make those myself, using some extra external websites and such. @MrS Would "Dave SBeat" serve as an intro for "Runaway", or would "Dave SBeat" play before the intro to "Runaway"? Edit: Forgotten (w/Rhinestone lyrics) doesn't really work as good as I thought. After I converted the AI acapella of "Forgotten (Demo)", that I made, into Audacity to change it's tempo, I put it with the "Forgotten" instrumental on Soundation and tried to fix it, but the AI acapella I made that I changed the tempo of doesn't play at the same speed as the "Forgotten" instrumental. I could try to do something else to get it to work, though.

The only other people I think we could contact besides Samantha about this performance or the name of his audition song, and other such stuff like that, are Jay Kereny, who produced the performance and was playing with Chester at his Xero pre-production performance as the guitarist of Size 5, who was Chester's backing band for the Xero pre-production performance (though LESTAT already got into contact with him and asked him about Chester's Xero audition and pre-production performance), John Kereny, who was also playing with Chester at the Xero pre-production performance as the bassist of Size 5, and Bart Applewhite, who was also playing with Chester at the Xero pre-production performance as the drummer of Size 5. I don't know if they have social media, though.

I agree.

What of "Don't Stay", "Hit The Floor", "Easier To Run", "Figure.09", "From The Inside" "Nobody's Listening", or "The Little Things Give You Away"? Any multitracks/stems of those?

Perhaps I could ask her politely if I could ask her some questions before asking her the questions themselves.

Now that I think about it, I probably wouldn't be a good idea. I won't message her.

Who is singing or saying the words "Believe me" during the bridge and last chorus of "Believe Me" ('The Pheonix' version)? It sounds like Chester's voice heavily edited, though I'm not entirely sure. Funny enough, I though that those words were actually guitar. It sounded like guitar to me, though, I didn't think they were actual words, lol.

Is this song instrumental "How Would You Be?"? I've seen a couple comments on the "unknown song" instrumental video from a couple people saying it's an instrumental of "How Would You Be?", though it's not confirmed if it is that or not.

At the end of the 'Amends' version of "Morei Sky", Chester says "What do you think, Dave?" Who is he referring to?

I thought we got the announcement about the HT20 boxset around mid-August. Maybe we'll get the announcement about the M20 boxset around mid-January. Who knows.

Does anybody know what happened with this? Does it have to do with Warner not wanting it out there or something? He only uploaded the "Rhinestone" instrumental to his SoundCloud before removing it again and put that video up on his YouTube channel of him playing some of the tape. I've asked TJ himself through Instagram, but he hasn't replied back to me. I heard from someone that he "disappeared off the face of the earth" after LPLive's interview with him, lol.

The "OUTSTEP" sample comes from the DJ Babu song "Step Up Break", which, in turn, samples Gang Starr's song "Step in the Arena". "Step Up Break" plays at 5:36 in this video. The sample plays at 0:12. Also, the 1997 Xero demo version of "Stick N Move" samples "Change The Beat (Female Version)" by Beside. The sample plays at 0:42 in the video. The sample plays at 3:37 in the video.

Lol 🤣

Has someone tried using Photoshop or something similar for the Relative Degree logo shown on the flyer that was shown in the MTV's The Ride Linkin Park documentary?

They could've replaced the last 4 tracks on the Forgotten Demos disc with "Ashes", "Turn To Grey", "Dreamer", and "Weight", or possibly something else as well. Another thing that the boxset didn't have that was definitively missing (that someone on here has mentioned before) was a re-issue of the CD version the Hybrid Theory EP. I mean, since it was reissued on vinyl in the boxset, why not also reissue it in CD form as well. They could've replaced RAR 2001 with another show, such as Docklands 2001 or another one of their shows from around that time.

I'll take a listen to it to see what Mike is saying. Edit: It’s definitely “A small product of the broken charade.”

Thanks, I've actually been trying to contact multiple LP collaboration collaborators/former band members/executives/other band members (who knew the band members early in their careers)/others that had to do with LP (mainly through Instagram) about the collaborations, along with their demos and live show information, but I still haven't gotten replies back from most of them.

Just wondering, but would it be a good idea to message Samantha about this performance, such as ask her about if she remembers the songs that were performed, the name of Chester's audition song, such stuff like that?

Maybe there's a way to contact Kyle about it? I've been wondering about the setlist to the 8/27/1999 Tempe, AZ Big Fish Pub show, as well as the date to the 1999 live performance of "Esaul" that was released as an easter egg on 'Frat Party At The Pankake Festival'.

I think that's the same, or, if not, a similar setlist to the one shown in the HT20 boxset book.

We already got Brad's, Dave's, Joe's, and Mike's notes. Next we'll get Rob's. I wonder when we'll get that one, and I wonder, if possibly, that it'll be about a Meteora 20 celebration with a super deluxe box set. Honestly, though, who knows what the next note will be about.

Maybe one of us here at LPLive could ask Talinda about the situation to see what's going on with the song. Just an idea.

Back in 2001, right before Linkin Park's European tour in September, Linkin Park gave an interview to OnStage where Mr. Hahn revealed he and Mike had worked on a track with the hip hop group The Visionaries. "Chester just did a song with Cyclefly and also with DJ Lethal, and Mike and I just finished a track with the Visionaries too." Later, in 2006, KeyKool, a member of The Visionaries, was questioned by a Linkin Park fan about the song. This was his answer: "Hey, LMNO did a song with Mike Shinoda back in the day, maybe 6 years ago. Then the Visionaries recorded a song with Joe Hahn and Mike Shinoda, and I believe some of the rest of the group was supposed to add stuff to the song...anyhow, it was before the "ReAnimation" album, and we all decided not to put the song out....so, I guess it's just one of those, never heard, never put out things. We've only heard a rough version of the song, and never heard anything after that. Kool, give thanks." The song was finally released on April 20, 2015 by 2Mex through his Bandcamp page. The song can be purchased for $1. LMNO said about the recording, "The Visionaries recorded the song at Kevin Sakodas, Mike wasn’t there Joe wasn’t either". Questioned if the song had a title, he answered, "Honestly I’m not sure". Years later, we have an update on if the song had a working title or not from Dannu: "Unreleased" didn't have a title because him and the rest of the Visionaries all agreed it wasn't worthy of being released. The whole recording of the song was not what you hear on this version. The song was all spilt up and the rapper was supposed to rhyme in between. That's why the song sounds weird. According to him, it would have been better we they all wrote it together. When I asked him about if he knows who raps what specific parts during the chorus of that song and if they are sampled vocals from another song or is it just him and his bandmates that are rapping those parts, he said this: I also asked him if he knew anything about the LMNO/Mike Shinoda collaboration from 2000, when Linkin Park were called Hybrid Theory, and he replied to me with this:

You got me there. No, I don't.
