This is incredible! Great work to all those involved! Would love to work on something like this in the future if you guys ever need anything!

Any update on how US fans can get a replacement CD?

Do we know what show? Anyone record it?

Great job guys, lots of good info in there!

I certainly agree with this view and its something Ive been thinking about since Mike first introduced him on Friday. I noticed him on keys as soon as the band took the stage and the lights came on. Its not uncommon at all for bands to have touring members. Lets do it. #JG4LP lol

Very happy to have finally met old friends and to have made some new ones as well. One of the most important days in my life for sure.

Great show. Shoutout to all of you who I finally met in person. Not around these forums much anymore but always love my LP community. Hope everyone had a great night whether you were at the show or watching from home.

Got a lower level seat for San Antonio and my sister is buying us lawn seats next week for Dallas. I've never NOT been in the pit for an LP show so this will be 2 new experiences for me. Anyone else think it's weird that they're doing some shows in arenas and others at amphitheaters? They usually stick to one venue type on these tours.

Actually according to Almamu's scans, the full track name is "F/007 Fiends". Thanks so much to everyone involved in finding these tracks!

Really cool interview, thanks for stopping by Dave! Hope to see Chester performing with you guys again in the future!

Yup, I had my hopes up for a 2001 demo too haha.

Just FYI, Less Than Jake was on the PR04 tour but they did not perform in Dallas due to one of the band members being sick. Ghostface Killa of the Wu-Tang Clan took their spot on the main stage.

No problem mikeymc19, Mark asked me to post them here as well.

Going to preorder in just a minute. Yeah it's just a 2 track single but collectors don't care Plus I want the DVD.

So no one is gonna post anything about LP releasing the album cover? Article: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/mike-shinoda-l...ty-cover-reveal Cover: https://s3.amazonaws.com/vice_asset_uploade...470LP_Cover.jpg

Absolutely, I thought you were referring to layers as something to do with autotune haha.

I didn't mean to say they were untouched. We are used to LOTS of vocal effects and there are very few used here, but slight pitch correction is certainly likely. I disagree with your thoughts on more verb but that's okay! I like the song too!

Astat covered the guitar and mix aspects of this song well but let me clarify a few things on Chester's vocals. As Mark said earlier, we are used to hearing Chester's vocals be pitch corrected. (Not sure what you meant by "layers" Mark, AutoTune and Melodyne simply shift pitches up or down to be perfectly on the correct note). Now I don't believe they do as much to his vocals as a lot of singers out there but there is something else that is clearly not on the vocal track and that is reverb/delay. Ever wonder why you sound way better when you sing in the shower? It's because the early reflections coming off the tile in a small enclosed space cover up the little inconsistencies in your voice. That's basically reverb. Most vocals have at least a little bit of reverb and often a bit of slap delay as well to create a fuller spacier sound. I hear neither on this song. And I prefer it that way if the goal was to have a raw, natural sounding mix. I expect Chester to be able to NAIL this song live because he doesn't have to try to match an overproduced pitch corrected album track. I'm interested to hear the mix on the rest of this album.

I think from a marketing standpoint it would have made sense to go ahead and announce it as the album title if it was. Not saying it couldn't be but I doubt it.

I can guarantee you pit was available, it just goes SUPER fast for shows at that venue because the pit area is so tiny. I had the same problem for PR07, couldn't get pit for Houston during presale or the general onsale. Ended up paying double face value on StubHub but it was worth it. I got a pit ticket for Dallas! Will you be there Numbrocker?

What happened to Dallas haha?

Don't call it exactly what it is...right.

No, these are special packages.
