haha it's funny because my roommate and I had this conversation last night. We both got our bachelors degrees in music business and both decided that what we learned in college was complete BS. It's a good starting point I guess, but I didn't learn anything until I actually started working in music.

It's not how it goes for a lot of bands. Trust me. I work in the industry. I have lots of friends in full time touring bands. I've worked for a record label. I've NEVER heard of this happening before. I've heard of labels doing some crazy things to their bands, but never telling them what to play live. That song is owned by Warner Bros. You have to pay to use it in a video. It's the law and it's not going to change. You shouldn't be able to use it for free in your YouTube video when someone else putting together a feature film has to pay big bucks for it. And your video was not private, it was on the internet for the public to see.

Aw my buddy Mona registered it! She's the master of all LP domains...

I know you guys think Warner has some super magical power over their artists, but I can assure you that they do not tell the band what to play and what not to play. Neither does management. That's just ridiculous. And if the band doesn't want to play a certain song, they don't want to play a certain song. It's their song, their tour, their call. I'd kill to see my favorite band play my favorite song by them, but I know they never will because they haven't in about 6 years. I'm ok with that because they're doing new things and want to play their new songs. How can you blame a band for not wanting to play a song they wrote over ten years ago?

Out of the 15,000 people at a LP show, how many of them have ACTUALLY heard songs on HTEP? Very few. Plus, a song someone wrote 10 years might not sit with them the same now as it did then. I can speak to that when I wrote songs for my band in high school I have this same struggle with New Found Glory. They don't play the real old stuff anymore and it's a bummer, but when I saw them last week and they finally did, I was one of the very few people there who knew the song. It was kind of awkward for the band.

Why do I have a feeling that 2010 will be the best Linkin Park year in a while? So much to look forward to.

I'll create some killer LPU banners for you. Remind me next week.

Booya. Nicely said.

wow that mike chat banner is SUPER cool looking! I wonder who made it!?

FYI. I don't create wallpapers and this isn't really an easy fix (I know it seems like it should be, but believe me its not). I'll see what I can do but it might be too late for LPU9. Make sure you bring this up when we ask for LPU10 suggestions next year.

Any outstanding bugs you guys are still seeing on the site? Let me know so we can get our engineers on it.

That's the next bug on our list to fix. Working on it now. EDIT: THIS IS FIXED! Best Buy redeem codes are fixed so go ahead and redeem if you have them!

just use your debit card as a credit card and it will be fine. works for me when i test it.

we're working on allllll of these bugs. hang tight guys.

This was posted on the LPU8 page on accident. WHOOPS! You'll see what it's all about when we launch SOOOOOON! Like, hopefully any minute now!

Probably another hour at the earliest. Lots of bugs still getting worked out. Working long and hard on this though. Soon...

its just you. its the same.

yeah honestly I can't imagine we'd sell out of the hand numbered vinyls in the next week or so, so you should be good!

It might still be a few hours guys. SORRY!!! Beyond our control at this point but it's coming!
