whatever he did, we're not in his shoes. we dont know why he always pointing out like that. im sure there's a reason but eventhough he will explaned it one day, surely it wont pleased people out there who keep trashing/hating the band moving on w/out Chester or whatsoever. eg: if Mike mentioned LYF is about Chester, im sure there will be fans out there "ohhh, Mike just milking Chester name by making a song bout him and let the scientology girl sing it. disgusting!" I'm so glad Mike and the band not riding on Chester name on their new music. unlike those imposter so-called tribute band and also the other band who touring with the imposter band. plus, we dont know if the band are allowed to mentioned Chester name in their new music, they're possible to get a lawsuit from the Chester's ex-wife, family, etc.

"this is my personal takes on HTEP" my first time listening to HTEP was from the bootleg LPU 2.0 cd (features 20 tracks including fake tracks like "I Just Want Your Company", GD tracks and more). that's how i discovered HTEP and i thought it was bootleg or fake songs due to the titles like "Carousel", "And One" (there's a basketball brand name And1 at that time, a bit confuse). back in the days, internet is still slow in my country. to get information bout it seems impossible. what i like bout HTEP is that it's raw, dark, indie production (freaking contrast with HT which the album is perfectly perfect. the songs, the lyrics, the production.). but i totally get it why HTEP wasnt pushed much during their HT tours because the songs wasnt really fit (at that time, unlike now). HTEP songs have too much breakdown part (which kinda lose the momentum) song like "And One", the part "It's too late to love me now, You have never shown me" really pull the momentum of the song away (reminds me of Limp Bizkit songs, yes they have tons of it). Mike's rap energy really hard, young and passionate. Chester's proved that he's fkin beast, eventhough this is his first releases with LP/HT at that time, he gave 1000% of his efforts for it. they doesnt know yet whether they'll make it or not. not sure if HTEP is considered as "demo tape" because to me, as it's an official releases for HYBRID THEORY as a band. it's like an indie band released an EP. but when the debut album came out, this EP instantly looks like "demo" to us. idk, what do you guys think bout it? unlike XERO demo tape, that's considered a "demo" (look at the quality 😂). having HTEP on vinyl is such a great move. i mean, for me, i didnt managed to get a copy of HTEP CD back in the days (still in school, lack of money). but now i'm owned it on vinyl, plus it's considered rare (because you need to buy the boxset to get it). i'm so grateful for it. also, it's available now on DSP, that's a blessing!

@MetalNacional not sure if this what you asked for: https://x.com/BroodingAnanas/status/1929034361485058090/photo/1 Note: continue here because the other thread is for "Artwork" only.

at this point, i hope they only releases this as theater/cinema exclusive and maybe streaming platform. if they're about to do DVD/CD releases, 2025 shows will be much way better in terms of the setlist and how the band in a good shape! but yeah, it's up to them! anything that will be release, surely we gonna love it!

im sure we will eventually called it “LEFTY” 😭

First glance, i thought you said they should play “MASSIVE” which is a great idea! 😂🥹

sadly, guitar solos are not meant for LP songs. THP just wanted to proof that the band CAN DO IT but doesnt mean they have to do it for the their future releases. Brad loves guitar solo but he choose not to. they all grew up listening to rock, heavy metal, shreading. but yeah, i wish they can improvise it for live shows (eg: What I've Done, Bleed It Out, Faint)

Oh gosh! The Armstrongs! Hahahah! THIS!!!!! 😂😂😂 Bob Rock is legend! *look at Metallica* // well, i mean, if people wanna said it's "generic", at least what they can do is clarify what they wanted (healthy discussion). but in the end, doesn mean it's not your cup of tea or taste, it's bad in general.

how the hell is LYF worst song on FZ & it's a BIT generic? should elaborate more or else, it's just you and your own world. 😂 LP generic stuffs is in OML. the entire thing. it's funny that whenever the track doesnt suits you, you label it as "generic" and makes it confuse.

what do you expect from crowd when those songs performed? moshpit? screaming out loud? shouting? i mean, those are pop-ballad songs. plus, it's new songs. im sure not everyone fully remember the lyrics.

that’s how producer role, in the picture. not necessary must sit infront of computer/soundboard all the time. the input is the valuable thing. Surprisingly Brad wanted the heavier stuff, something that they can jam and banging around. I wonder why they still left out THP songs from PAPERCUTS. 😂 ”ask Brad!” - Mike’s comment when ppl asked why there’s no THP songs in the compilation while Brad also asking for something heavier!

been waiting for this guy to upload it in 4K!

someone design this on twitter. anyway, anything that relates to Chester always got something to do with the copyrights and it'll take a lots of process for sure. everyone in the family members surely want a piece of the cake. Chester = money. plus, LP is now going on as 6-piece band with new line up. releasing past members at this period isnt the right time.

good shot of "Stained" live debut!

finally a footage for KTTK!

love this new setlist print. have an actual artwork as background. also, it might be nothing for some but seeing initial "AF" represents Alex Feder actually is a cool thing. (AF Laser Cage, Intro AF DSC).

when LP released MTM, that's the beginning of "oh no, this is not my LP" comments begin. and now they're using the same comment but just throw in the Emily's name and seems like they hate this new song because it's wasn't Chester. what a bunch of clown. i prefer this fast guitar driven tracks anytime, anyday!

the thing about album re-mix, Hybrid Theory is perfect as it is. i'm not really into MCR re-mix their "Three Cheers" album. all those classic songs sounds weird. if THP get proper re-mix, that's better!

they just upload/releases the official visualizer!

it depends. some artists releases the song midnight, 12 hours later music video/visualizer on youtube release.

just calculate total price for this LP youtooz set (standard price $29.90 each), which costs me around $240.00 USD with shipping. crying at the moment.

great that they releasing this as single. if this is the marketing will be, "Let You Fade" will be the last single releases which will be drop together with the album. i wonder if this track have a music video or maybe some visualiser. stoked! few days left!

i thought you gonna said "i am spiderman" 😂. but yeah, joke aside, fans support the band, we dont get involved (or have any rights) with their creative process. if fans get involved with whatever process the band did, im sure the band no longer survive or relevant.

me too! i love CTB because it's like a jam song, where you can enjoy it. just like "Bleed It Out", people hate it at the first place. after watched the process on how it's done, now im more appreciated it. if they consider the final product as one of the greatest creation, who are we to judge them? lol. i mean, music is subjective. some people hate, some people love. you considered this as "rip-off" just because it sounds like BIO but technically, it's not the same. BIO ≠ CTB to be precisely. not just LP, there's tons of artists out there who created a song kinda similar to their greatest hits and yes it's amazing (eg: Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" & "Mirror", they both sound-a-like but different) damn, i missed that one. haha. it's funny that Mike's save his rap lyrics in note way back from 2013. imagine how many of those rap verse more in there. 😂

“Branch and Arrow”, let’s hope they save it for future LPU demos. 💯✨ Phoenix gave the idea on what/how the chorus should be. They worked this song back in 2022 is damn, crazy. Mike’s hair so long, skinny Joe. Interesting behind the scene footages. ps: seems like they releasing the behind-the-scene videos in tracklist order. I guess we will get “Heavy is the Crown” video next week?
