That 'Joe Solo' section was awesome!

I think this was Daron's reaction when they showed him Guilty All The Same. In a previous interview I think Chester or Mike stated that when Daron first came into the studio, they showed him some of the songs they were working on and he thought they were good as-is so they ended up coming up with a new song with him or something along those lines and that became Rebellion. That is correct. Daron played about 90 percent of the bass guitar on Mez/Hyp. Shavo spent that time taking bass guitar lessons.

...which is a type of album.

That's like...your opinion man.

Does Download usually broadcast full shows or just bits and pieces?

I'll take In Between over LFY, Figure.09, FTI, or APFM any day. Music is subjective. Everybody has different opinions on what song they like more. At the end of the day there really aren't "better" or "worse" songs.

Why does everybody have such a hard time figuring out time zones every time there's a new release?

SOAD is not nu-metal.

I think Korn (you know - the inventors of the genre) did Nu-metal pretty damn well.

To me it looks like Chester was still talking about Daron in that section. The interviewer said something about Daron and then went back to talking about Tom. It did say the phone was cutting in and out - maybe Chester just missed him changing the subject back.

You don't get to be the biggest rock band in the world without being mainstream. Even if they're not "posers who try to fit in" they are still a mainstream band that makes (for the most part) easily digestible rock music. It's not a negative thing to say a band is mainstream just like it's not necessarily a positive to say a band is "indie" or "underground" or anything. Music can be good at all levels of popularity just like music can be bad at all levels. People just need to stop attaching such negative connotations to the word "mainstream."

This might interest you.

But his screaming is sooo good. It would be a shame to waste the opportunity.

I think One Step Closer's breakdown is the more iconic screaming part of Hybrid Theory.

Definitely sounds like Daron had a significant hand in writing on that one.

Saying there might be two instrumentals and saying that he wants one instrumental are two different things. He's not contradicting himself there.

We can add Rebellion (Feat. Daron Malakian) to that list now. Also we know Page Hamilton will be on All For Nothing. According to the latest article, there are going to be 12 songs on the album so we've got two more to find out!

Wish we could get a more specific review of the songs. I'm so hyped for this album and I just want all the information I can! lol

Weezer's also done this with Keep Fishin' and Perfect Situation.

Daron on a fucking Linkin Park song?!?!?! SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!!

Does it remove the rap verse from the end but keep Chester's "holding on to what i haven't got"s?

Is this a thing? Nirvana's With the Lights Out anthology was anything but boring. It was a bunch of unreleased b-sides, demos, live tracks, covers, etc.

I disagree. Hesitation Marks and Year Zero are among my all-time favorite albums.

I'd love to get my hands on the stems for this song. It would be interesting to see the layers hiding underneath.

You skipped a track. lol
