Adam

my question is - are there other packages to come? what sort of pricing would we be looking at for those. would love to pre-order now, but not if i know there are going to be further packages added later.

No. No more package memberships.

I've been working for 14 hours, so I'm not gonna get into everything now, but I thought I'd comment.

This is not an online only membership. Online content, with the exception of chats, will now be free. There's no point in charging people for online content that only remains exclusive for 5 minutes. The new LPU is all about the experience with the band. We're hoping to offer opportunities like we've never offered before. Regardless of what you think, people don't join lpu for the keychain, the t-shirt, or even the CD. People join for the experience with the band they can't get anywhere else. We want to improve that and stop using our resources to produce packages that never please everyone.

I know now this seems a little crazy, but I hope you guys let us prove to you that things really are getting better for you.

On another note, the CD download is NOT the LPUX CD.

The front page of the LPU has been redesigned to match the ATS artwork and it says that LPUX online memberships can be pre-ordered. LPU9 memberships are no longer available. Also it mentions that the LPU website will be moving from lpunderground.com to linkinpark.com/lpu and the"new" LPU will launch in October.

Thoughts? It seems the LPU is getting totally revamped. Hopefully this means the CD still stays awesome!

Dare I say, best LPU CD yet? Better than LPU 9? Yes, I dare say it.

SAY FUCK YOOO SIDEEE

 

 

--edit--

 

@Adam It's the one that has 'Mobile Roadie' as a developer(s) ?

yes

Not for Android?

Yes, it's available for Android too.

Wait...with this app we can hear all the clips of all the songs now? or in a few weeks?

only old songs. nothing off ATS except the catalyst.

A big thank you to Mark and the other LPL staff members who created the 30 second clips you hear for ALL of the songs in the app (except the catalyst which yours truly did)! It was a big undertaking and I'm very grateful for your help!!

This will be officially released by the band soon enough. Just a bummer WBR keeps beating the band to revealing their own shit!

Props to Mark and the staff for holding on this before posting. Not that big a deal, but we always appreciate when you guys ask for confirmation on stuff!! More than anything, we just wanna make sure you guys have the RIGHT info! ...unless it's info we don't wanna give yet!

I'll also be adding new unreleased pics from throughout the process of recording ATS to Facebook pretty much every day until the record comes out. Lots of great shots.

I know you guys have already come up with the lyrics, but in case you got any part wrong, I wanted to make sure you all had the official lyrics.

God bless us every one

We’re a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can’t be outfought

It can’t be outdone

It can’t be outmatched

It can’t be outrun

No

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light

(God bless us every one / we’re a broken people living under loaded gun)

Oh / like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us every one

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns

For the sins of our hand

The sins of our tongue

The sins of our father

The sins of our young

No

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light

(God save us every one / will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns)

Oh / like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up

Let me go

FYI - apparently the song goes to iTunes in the UK on September 6.

we're live on itunes. http://tiny.cc/e7nve

Song should go to iTunes any minute now. I'll update all of the Linkin Park websites when it's live in the store!

I think they edited it then because now it says: "The song itself has got some dark undertones and it's got a lot of energy in it," says Linkin Park bassist David "Phoenix" Farrell.

Yeah I alerted management to the typo. haha.

That is the most badass picture in the history of man kind.

Wait til you see the rest. New press shots are AWESOME.

Adam is a Cubs fan?! I've been one for life! lol born and raised in the windy city

wOOt!! I'm a huuuuuuuuuuge Cubs fan. Maybe the biggest. Born and raised in western, IL.

Told you it was epic.

Now I'm mega hyper. Thanks alot.

I'm not saying everyone will share my enthusiasm for the new track, but honestly, my humble opinion is that it's great. It's fresh. It's not what you expect from Linkin Park, but it's what you SHOULD expect from Linkin Park because it's just a really quality song. The whole time I was listening I kept thinking "shit... this song is epic. like, movie soundtrack epic, but not corny epic."

I love it. I don't want Hybrid Theory again. I don't want Meteora again. When MTM came out that's what I wanted. But once MTM grew on me and I saw the ideas these guys have when they think outside their "label", I wanted things to progress further. This is doing it in my opinion. Like the guys always used to say, they chose the name Linkin Park because it means nothing. It lets the music define the name. And I believe that is still true to this day.

One of the better posts I've ever seen on this website. I've heard the whole song, and I think it's great. I'm not just saying that because I work for the band. At the video shoot I stood there with my jaw open. It was something totally unexpected, but it excited me as if LP has been my favorite band forever. That's my opinion, and I don't expect everyone to share it. Just wanted to add to the convo.

Thanks for the heads up, Adam!

Thanks, and thanks for your help today, Nick! You rock!

@ADAM who i know is lurking.

 

How come i cant order the deluxe fan box on the Australian store yet? it just says "Coming Soon, only 300 Avail" seriously? cant i just give you guys money now?

no idea.

Adam never lurks. He browses.

I also forget I have a browser window open for hours at a time. I usually have like, 8 or 9 tabs going on my firefox at a time. haha.

pre-order coming to linkinpark.com soon. mr. bennington's tweet was a little premature, but we're looking to have this pre-order up later tonight. you'll want to pre-order from linkinpark.com, not best buy. trust me.

Hey guys - I know before I said if you tweet multiple times, it would work. It actually won't. These need to be UNIQUE tweets. So let's get this finished. Tell your friends. Create new twitter accounts. You know you want to.

seems like Adam confirmed the picture :

that's me NOT confirming the picture, actually...

Where's Adam when we need him?

I'm here. This is the single art. No more text coming. This is it. I have no idea who the person is or what he's doing there. I didn't even notice it until you guys brought it up.
