My theory is:

We actually know 7 demo names from songs in Meteora:

 

Don't Stay - Sick

Somewhere I Belong - Pretty Birdie

Lying from You - Cuidado

Faint - Faint

Figure.09 - Figure.09

Breaking the Habit - Drawing

Session - Session

 

5 songs remained (Hit the Floor, Easier to Run, From the Inside, Nobody's Listening and Numb).

 

For me, Nocturnal and Shifter are two unreleased b-sides (the rumour of Mike saying about those two in Meteora times and the Spin article mentioning both is what made my point).

 

According with the note from Mike in LPU 13, about Cumulus, they "tried to work on it, but it sounded too poppy". It seems a similar case to A.06: They tried to give vocals to it (maybe even has a version with vocals), but didn't worked.

 

So, if we exclude the 7 names we already know their respective final songs; and removing Nocturnal, Shifter and Cumulus, we have 5 demo's name left.

IMO, that 5 names (Interrogation, Resolution, Serpent, Husky and Plaster II) are the demos from the other 5 final songs from Meteora.

And, about Numb being recorded in the end of the process: according with the Meteora booklet, the song was conceived one week before they start to work on studio. So, I believe that Numb is also on that board.

 

To finish, again, IMO, the only "newer" songs from Meteora, with vocals and all, are Nocturnal and Shifter and, probably, one of those is "Take Away My Pride".

We also can't forget about the Rob drum demo, which is probably either Nocturnal or Shifter, The Wizard Song, A.06/A-Six/A6 (With Vocals), Figure.09 (Alternate Rap Verses Demo), or Figure.09 (Singing Verses Demo). There may be more that I can't remember at the moment, but those are more unreleased demos to consider.

What if the unreleased Meteora remixes surfaced one day?

Who knows, but with the recent stuff about them planning exciting things for 2023, and with tons of fans here, including myself, thinking that they’re going to announce a Meteora 20th anniversary boxset, we could, possibly, see the unreleased Meteora remixes be released very soon. Though, honestly, who knows what will happen.

You know how Linkin Park did their 20 year old computer thing on their website for Hybrid Theory 20? I wonder if they will do something similar, or, possibly, something different for Meteora 20.

It would be great to see such a tracklist:
01. Dreamer

02. Weight

03. Turn To Grey

04. Ashes

05. Flower

06. Pointillism

07. Deftest

08. Pooch Pound

09. Fuse

10. Rhinestone (Demo 1997)

11. Stick N Move (Demo 1997)

(12.) Unknown (https://youtu.be/ijiB9Iybcjk?t=1701 / https://youtu.be/b3hA8NIM3S8; if it's not one of the above)

 

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.

19. Track 7 from the Hybrid Theory EP

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.

Not leaked, but I think the acapella from HHH was likely created from multitracks. 

 

I have not heard anything about In Between or In Pieces though.

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?

Do you understand what you're even suggesting? "Go for" messaging an ex-wife about what songs her late ex-husband played at a fucking show in the 90s? Seriously man...  Regardless of how nice she was, please understand the level of disrespect and complete fucking LACK of social etiquette.

 

Not enough faceplam emojis in the existence could ever...

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

Just now, Wilderness said:

 

 

Yeahhh absolutely don't do this. Please just don't.

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?

Hybrid Theory 20 was announced in August for an October release date. If we're getting anything like it for Meteora we should know by the end of January I think. It honestly seems like Mike has moved on from Linkin Park so who knows if we get anything.

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.

I have converted the original XERO  audition tape in GREAT quality. I took the song down from Soundcloud  out of respect to the release.  Siri now recognizes a song on the demo I have had for 20 years ( Pictureboard )... the others are clear to post, I assume. I have the video they requested for the audition process (at least one band member has confirmed they went through  the same process per Mark T) The audio tape is in perfect condition and plays well, the handwriting  of "Xero" is most certainly Mike's. I have versions of the tunes when the rapping was the focus of the tune and the singing was the refrain or hook only..... I have my tracking vocals with the audition tape,  as well as my demo that got me a Next Day Air Fedex package from Jeff Blue, with lyrics, this demo and the other studio tracks partially finished along with Mike's 4-track ideas

 

I was going to do a full interview with Mark Terrell ( the admin / founder of this page) but he stopped responding to texts after a preliminary interview, during the week of the  the 20yr release ( not sure why? ) I never attempted to leak or detract from any of these tracks, I had NO idea that there was so much interest around this tune..... The original XERO tape was in a case, in my closet for years,  the song on Soundcloud was there to substantiate a one-off crazy story .....There is a good story here if you are interested as fans and the true history of something you may not be aware of...... TJ

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.

Note from Rob 

 

This is my new drumstick, it's so cool and beautiful.

 

 

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 still can't believe that we got like 7 versions of POA, wow. Very unnecessary. 

On 10/16/2020 at 12:20 AM, Justin said:

We definitely didn't need as many versions of POA as we got.

We got 8 versions of POA as a part of the boxset.

1. Final version

2. 'Reanimation' remix version

3. BBC 2001 live version

4. Docklands 2001 live version

5. "Oh No" instrumental demo

6. LPU 12 demo version (different from "Points And/& Authority" from 9/8/7-track demos)

7. Crystal Method remix 'Reanimation' outtake

8. 6-track demo ("Stop the talk show" alternate rap)

We got the final version, 2 remix versions, 3 demos, and 2 live versions.

I'll take a listen to it to see what Mike is saying.

Edit: It’s definitely “A small product of the broken charade.”

Man thanks for digging LP related news

I second this. I found this interesting. Thanks for keeping some news going, especially in this period of unprecedented silence from the LP team.

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?

Kyle said in an interview with Linkin Park Argentina that he played in performances at Los Angeles and Arizona.

https://www.taringa.net/+linkinparktaringa/entrevista-a-kyle-christner-ex-ht-1999_pnnnl

According to him, it can be assumed that he definitely played in these performances:
1999.08.27 Tempe, AZ
1999.08.28 Tempe, AZ
1999.09.02 Los Angeles, CA

Accordingly, in Fullerton, 7 days before the performance in Tempe (1999.08.27), in theory he also played.
 

The question remains, did Kyle play at 12 november 1999 in Fullerton, or was Ian Hornbeck already participating there (and did he perform with them at all)?

 

In general, it would be great if Kyle looking at the photos confirmed whether he played there. The person who interviewed him in 2011, in theory, should have remained his contacts.

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'.

Found this in my enormous piles of linkin park debris. Can anyone tell me what show it is. I'm guessing 2001ish.

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.
