I think we may see something Linkin Park related this year beyond Meteora 20.

That Hot Topic M20 merch is out maybe since a week if not more. I think it's not official M20 merch. They just used leaked cover to make merch.

No chance in hell Hot Topic is selling Bootleg merch.

I understand that Blackbirds was released during the A Thousand Suns era but it was a Minutes To Midnight b-side and I think belongs on the MTM release more than the ATS release.

So no update today? 

Just speculation that the puzzle will be completed today and we'll get the first song from Meteora 20 along with the official announcement of the box set.

I think somebody uncovered a date/time in the code that points to today being the day.

Well shit does anybody have the link/contact so I can try this again?

Being stuck at school (this time as a member of staff lol) and sneaking peaks at LPLive for news on a new Linkin Park release is making me feel all sorts of nostalgic. lol

I think those of us who didn't buy it through Warner are just shit outta luck.

I'm thinking at least 11 out of the 15 demos have vocals. I'm specifically talking about Lost, Fighting Myself, More the Victim, A6 (Meteora|20 Demo), Cuidado ("Lying from You" Demo), Husky ("Hit the Floor" Demo), Interrogation ("Easier to Run" Demo), Faint (Meteora|20 Demo), Plaster II / Plaster 2 ("Figure.09" Demo), Shifter ("From the Inside" Demo), and Lost (2002 Mix).

I don't think Lost (2002 Mix) is actually something that's getting released. It wasn't on the official tracklist when Warner put up the set by mistake.

I hope LP does another Q&A for Meteora20 too. I wanna hear Lost but I also want to know about it. Stuff like what was its story and why was it cut. Warner said it’s a track from the 2002 album recording sessions (NRG), so this’ll be the first full extra song we hear from Meteora, and that’d be cool to know more about it after it being solely just within a few short clips with no info for 20 years.

Well according to Chester the songs that were finished but cut were cut because they didn't fit the album but were still (in the band's opinion) really good songs. So at least we know that about Lost.

It is a different demo that is similar to One Step Closer. Old Figure.09 is a rap demo. They connected them together and name Figure.09 remained. It is the same situation like with Until It Breaks. It has 4 demos connected together. Figure.09 has 2 demos.

This is my theory too. I wouldn't be surprised if Plaster II ends up having the final Figure.09 chorus and/or bridge lyrics over a different instrumental track since the Figure.09 demo we got on LPU9 was pretty similar instrumentally to the final song.

So excited to finally hear this song next week!

I guarantee the LinkingPark-Numb.exe isn't a hint at which song(s) will be released before the box set comes out. It's just a reference to a well-known meme about P2P file-sharing apps from the time Meteora came out.

I have a feeling it’ll be more of a melodic Chester song. That super melodic lead sample we’ve heard in those clips is very unique. So excited to hear it.

Knowing Meteora-era Linkin Park there still could be a big, heavy bridge/breakdown in the middle though.

Also that blue screen numb.exe thing is fantastic. Brings me back to the Kazaa/Limewire days. lmao

We know "She Couldn't" leaked 11 years before it got officially released by Linkin Park in 2020 (mainly because it got leaked on an old 8-track demo dating back to 2000 that was discovered in 2009). Who knows, though, "Dialate", the Chester version of "Pictureboard", "Could Have Been", the Mark version of "Esaul", and the Chester version of "Stick N Move" didn't leak before they were released on October 9th, 2020 as a part of the HT20 boxset. It still could be possible for it to leak, though.

HT20 leaked about two days early due to some people getting their box sets early. I listened to the leak because the estimated arrival date for my package was like the 17th or something and I didn't want to wait that long. lol

I'd love to get anything new that's Linkin Park related. I'm super pumped for the Meteora 20 thing but something new from the band would be even more exciting.

Yeah it's weird I always thought Figure.09 sounded the most like One Step Closer (aka Plaster) among the Meteora songs but assumed it couldn't be Plaster 2 based on the song's final title. I guess it went through multiple working titles then?

I just want to say I'm so happy to see this place active for a bit again. I'm going to enjoy hanging out with you guys over the next couple of months before things inevitably quiet down again.

Well I'm very excited to get some (un)official confirmation that we're finally going to hear Thoughts That Take Away My Pride very, very soon!

This is dope as hell! It reminds me a lot of the VMA score and some of those MTM demos we got on LPU over the years.

95 and 75 aren't really that similar tempos. But yeah I also think if Plaster II is a song we've heard it's likely HTF.

I absolutely love A Thousand Suns (it's my second favorite album of all time behind The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails) but I don't think it's going to get the same love as Hybrid Theory, Meteora and Minutes to Midnight are likely to get.

They're holding them back for Hybrid Theory 30th Anniversary edition. lol

I really don't think we'll ever see Linkin Park as an active band again. We're going to get these nostalgia boxes and that's it. Mike seems much more interested in pushing new artists and doing NFT stuff.

That said I'm very excited for the nostalgia boxes. lol
