    There are some other examples of live songs that sound off in their early performances but later they master them and sound good.

    i think that they really disliked those songs and thats why they were out.

    It happens that you write a song thinking “this is gonna be great live” and then you play it for a few times and it is “meh”. Happened in my band a couple of times 😀

    Nobody's is one of those songs that sounded better when they did it live.

    I still havent heard Lost but -lost- to Easier To Run, BTH and Numb they probably thought that having 4 soft songs on a nu metal album was a bad idea.

     

     

    Yeah, for sure. Too many soft songs, and I know as an angsty teenager wanted the heavier shit 😀 but tbh I didnt like the live version of Nobodys listening, I prefer the album one 😀 what a polarizing song

    I find it inferior to ETR honestly, but it's treally similar 

    The theme of the song is really similar, but Lost is much more depressing lyric-wise and that might be the reason why Lost was not on the album

    I read up on Linkinpedia about "Figure.09" yesterday. In the Meteora booklet it is said that they swapped the original rap verses of the song for singing only to undo that change while in NYC "because it made the song more interesting". Until yesterday I never questioned it but then I realized that it was most likely not the case (conspiracy time :D).
    What I THINK is far more likely than changing a fundamental part of a song during the mixing progress (the band themselves said it is extremely rare and stressful to record while mixing, which was true during that time) especially after they worked in the studio on the version with singing which they took to NYC is that Chester's sickness prevented them from finishing the singing verses. Pure speculation on my part but I can imagine them trying their hardest to finish up "Somewhere I Belong" because it was supposed to be the first single (and "From The Inside") left Chester too sick to record anymore vocals. Therefore they had to react to that and changed the verses back so Mike could finish them.

     

    The devil lies in the details: "Somewhere I Belong" and "From The Inside" were finished as intended but "Figure.09" (by my theory) couldn't get finished the way they wanted to. Therefore they had to go back to an "inferior" version which is something they probably wouldn't ever say upfront because after all Meteora was the album they wanted to be perfect.

    Anyway, long ramble, judging by everything we know that seems more likely to me than what "officially" got said about this episode. Maybe M20 will shine a new light on it or I'm completely wrong. If someone appreciates these thoughts it might be someone on here, though :D.

    Hey that's interesting train of thought. Could be true, we'll probably never know. Never thought about it that way. Cool!
