  1. haha.. I appreciate your work, BUT they're youtube rips.. I didn't make youtube rips I actually

    have a recording device, that's why my audio did it on the frontpage... but thanks for the effort ;)

    point taken. people who make these videos on youtube should come on the boards and make files available. certainly half of the clips were good visual quality too.

     

    i did try to record some of it but once i got home it was so distorted it was just unlistenable, hence why i did this.

  2. Hey man, sorry to be a bother, but the tracks won't open/import into Windows movie maker (yet they open fine in WMP) I don't understand why as their mp3s, but I keep getting a message saying their either "invalid or corrupted"? :S

    Help!

    I used to get that with tracks when I used a PC. might be cos I created the album on a mac? I dunno.

     

    The way I used to get round that problem is by importing them into Audacity and then exporting them again. hassle, but it's a fix for it.

     

     

     

    If those recordings by BlackChester managed to get on the front page, surely these should? they're much better quality! haha

  3. I've spent an evening ripping audio from youtube videos and merging them together to form a live album for DBS' London show on 19/2.

     

    Since the tracks haven't been made available anywhere else then i thought I'd post a link here!

  4. Review I wrote for a uni project, kind of a review for the DVD but same difference.

     

    In late November, Californian sextet Linkin Park will be releasing their epic Projekt Revolution gig on DVD filmed at the National Bowl, Milton Keynes.

    The road to revolution starts here...

    “This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life” exclaimed lead singer Chester Bennington, as he stood amongst the thousands of fans that had packed into the Bowl. Little did the fans know, that as they sang along with their idols, the show was being filmed to be released as a CD/DVD combo pack showcasing the show in all its pro-shot, 5.1 surround sound glory. This was the biggest Projekt Revolution to date, which was first held in 2002. The record still stands, which is impressive considering the bands following in America.

    The DVD features 19 out of the 22 songs performed, with hit after hit from their back catalogue all included. The decision to drop some tracks isn’t without its critics, including noticeable unrest within their fan base due to the exclusion of favourites ‘Papercut’ and ‘Points Of Authority’. However, in response to this, band emcee Mike Shinoda has reassured fans via his online blog that “the rest of the stuff will be made available to you, though... you’ll see!” As of writing this article it is still not clear what this means exactly, but as the release date draws nearer these details are expected to be revealed. The cutting of songs has been put down to CDs only being able to hold about 74 minutes of audio, the band wanted to pick a set list that flowed nicely and keep the DVD consistent with the CD audio as well.

    Nevertheless, although some songs are missing, what remains is still a blistering spectacle. A mix of heavy riffs and screams, including debut single ‘One Step Closer’ and ’Given Up’, contrasted by quieter melodic pieces, such as ‘Pushing Me Away’ (a delicate piano rendition) and ’The Little Things Give You Away’, await the eyes and ears of viewers... and none of it disappoints. The whole show is a blend of energy and emotion, from the hard hitting, daring opener to the closing party mix of ‘Bleed It Out’, with a bit of crowd participation thrown in for good measure before the band jams into a ending that sends fans home with smiles on their faces and a concert to talk about for many days to come.

    Towards the end of the show, co-headlining rapper Jay-Z joined the band to perform tracks from their 2004 collaboration album ‘Collision Course’. While they have come together for six performances in the past, most notably at Live 8 in Philadelphia, this was the first time the two sets of artists have collaborated outside of the States. They ran through an abbreviated version of their hit single ‘Numb/Encore’ before launching into a version of ‘Jigga What/Faint’ that sent the crowd into a frenzy and featured one of the highlights of the band’s touring cycle - an ‘80s inspired rock-heavy, frantic outro that is sure to make crowds go wild.

    This is to be Linkin Park’s second live album, the first being 2003’s ‘Live In Texas’. In comparison to the previous DVD, it is clear to see how much Linkin Park have progressed from their days as the leaders of the nu-metal genre, to being one of the leaders in the world of rock. While showing a considerable amount of experimentation within the group, ‘Minutes To Midnight’ has provided even more hard hitters to their already incredible musical arsenal and the group are showing no sign of slowing down. With word of a new conceptual album in the pipeline, expected some time in 2009, Linkin Park are a band still very much at the forefront of their genre.

    ‘Road To Revolution: Live At Milton Keynes’ is set for a UK release on November 24 and is available for pre-order from many websites, including the bands own where it can be bought with a t-shirt sporting ‘Road To Revolution’ style motif. This is one live album not to be missed.

    A revolution is coming... are you ready?

  5. whatever is on the cd, someone will find something to whinge about. i think i might have said this one time on the LPU boards too, but i'll re-iterate... you're getting a fairly rare cd - albums are sold in millions, the LPU cd is sent out in just thousands. think how hard it is to get hold of these cds (especially outside of US). i know for fact that LPU 1 thru 4 hardly ever come up on eBay UK, cos i keep trying to get 'em.

    be happy to have a cd, whatever may be on it, cos most fan clubs get nothing (or next to nothing) but a website and forums.

     

    sure we'd all love to hear the MTM bsides, but then 4 or 5 years ago we all wanted the meteora bsides. i wasn't on the LPU back then, but i expect there were petitions and discussions about wanting the meteora ones just like this petition.

     

    don't be so ungrateful, they could close the LPU all together if they pleased.
