Not my cup of tea too tbh and somehow even with the albums up to OML in my mind, this doesn’t sound like LP for me lmao. This sounds like a song from another nu metal band from that era that would be long forgotten by now. Or like an old Xero song.

i want to know this as well.

I think the video was great. It fit the lyrics and it’s not like the direction was purely made by ai but by real people. It’s kinda like the newest Netflix anime that Wit Studio created. I don’t know how else they would’ve created a video in this direction without Ai. Creating a fully drawn animated video BTH style nowadays they probably wouldn’t have gotten the budget and time for it imo since we didn’t get a real music video in a long time.

AI is not part of web3 lol. anyway Chester’s voice and singing just hits different, always. Real goosebumps for me.

Is the second season any good? I stopped after the first.

I guess you’ve got a degree in lp discography lol. I didn’t even know there were two different deluxe versions. I thought they were both just released and one was censored and the other not.

Uhm on Apple Music the wrong version of Across the Line is on the clean version but the right one is on the explicit version?

I don’t think they’ll even be LP related. Just what each of them have been doing that month. Shopping, visiting shows or art exhibitions, what they’ve been listening to or watching.

what a great fucking singer

wow when was this created? LP must have the biggest and most accurate (fan) database of all bands.

but from a charting and singles standpoint MTM was the biggest success. I also think that in the MTM era it was much harder for a rock band to achieve that kind of commercial success. Pre-MTM, rock was still hip.

it's so cool to see some j-rock bands that i listen to talk about LP. they all seem like superfans watching docs and follow their band lives

I don't think this has any intention to widen his audience. I think he just thinks it's funny and he's just doing it without thinking about it much further. I also don't think he's doing this for the money. There are much better ways to do a cashgrab.

Very fun and uplifting vibes! He’s also trying to support his music people who can’t work on tour right now with the donations which is great.

I'm really wondering if and why LP were ever close to breaking up due to personal issues with Chester. Jeff mentioned that they had issues but all of them had the big picture in mind and could overcome them.

Ok I’m glad I’m wrong here. That’s just how I felt but I didn’t really follow his stream. Just once in a while and it seemed to me like that even though I really like the song.

I feel like he's completely lost at the moment when it comes to music. Even this song would've probably never surfaced if it wasn't for some random guy in his team who really liked it. Mike lately seems to just make a lot of things but really has no direction or drive. That's also why he started streaming because he completely lost his routine and needed a schedule. I can imagine that he's really unfulfilled with most of his art off stream.

haha that's funny because I absolutely dislike Invisible so much that I wished they would've just removed it from the album.

i really like the song. I can imagine my younger self being uplifted while hearing this after a rough day. My younger self wouldn't have put it into a generic pop tunes category but I do understand if older people do and find it generic.

whut, in my remains is one of my favorite songs and I think it sounds amazing.

I know iann diors name and I like the snippet!

Primarily because I see it as a unique collectible and a very unique art form. I would also be the only holder of his name which is weird and still pretty cool in my eyes. I also see the appeal of an investment of it in 50 years when he’s dead because it is an NFT of just his name, so simple yet so powerful because it’s his identity. But that’s really second. When I though of buying it, I didn’t think of reselling it. I’d just want to see it on my digital stash. It would be even cooler if all LP released their name as an NFT and you could collect them and I'd imagine that would skyrocket the price of them. As stupid as it sounds this could be the future of art and our kids will see us as boomers ("back in my days art was something that you could touch"). Maybe not just stupid text files but real digital drawings or whatever. Youtuber Logan Paul is about to sell around 5 trading card NFTs of himself soon (due to the pokemon trading card craze) and the people/kids do see the appeal of it. Of course it might also be the dumbest purchase ever if in 3 years nobody sees a worth in digital art or digital collectibles. But that’s a risk on my side.

I actually knew the NFT would only be 30 secs long and I’m also interested in the Mike Shinoda text file NFT. but I’m a heavy tech person and have been in this blockchain space for years. I disagree that Mike is doing it for the money. He never knew how much this all would be worth and I’m pretty sure he would’ve continued if it only sold for 5 bucks because he wants to test the space. He’s an artist and a nerd. I also think he is donating the 30k to the fund because he’s feeling that the first NFT isn’t worth 30k.

just a few last off topic remarks haha. I agree that not everything has to be decentralized. Also I agree that as long as the feed isn't correct or true even blockchain won't help. BUT we are removing places and mechanisms where you can manipulate the data. The less the better right? And if someone feeds incorrect data into it you will always know where it came from. I also agree with you here. It's all still in a very explorative bubble and I'm pretty sure in 15 years 99% of all these projects will be no more. Only the few ones that are more comprehensible and help society will still be there. Yeah even though bitcoin was created 10 years ago, this all is still a very new way of thinking. The concept of decentralization existed even for longer and it still hasn't found its way into society. Only cryptocurrencies as an investment tool became a bit more mainstream. But decentralization is further away, also because governments are more in favor of centralized than decentralized concepts of course. It could also just be that we will still live in a centralized future because humanity decided that it's better to have centralized instances with the possibility that things can be faked and duplicated but it's just easier and humans like simple things. Who knows. I'm pretty sure Mike himself doesn't understand all of it (yet) since he explained it badly imo. But this also shows what kind of an experimental thing this is and maybe we shouldn't put too many emotions behind it. He's just testing things out.

Decentralized systems are ALWAYS better because there is no way to fake something and you can always see where it came from. It's fully traceable. When it comes to centralized systems the problem is that there's always a chance for them to fake and hide something. I work in the automotive industry and most of us are also moving towards blockchain and decentralized systems. The downside is so much more costs and a lot of R&D to be done. I hope that we will live in a future where everything is decentralized and the people don't even have to 'get it'. All they need to know is that what they are getting/buying/using is fully legit and traceable. All blockchain/decentralization is just a protocol in the background. I mean the majority is using the internet and they don't understand the protocols behind it. I fully agree with what you said about the now 30k bid. But also that rich kids have always gotten the collectibles they wanted. So about Mike going this way of creating just 1 single NFT (for now). It's really a collectible guys. Collectibles have always been more expensive but now for the first time digital things can be real collectibles because there's no way to just really fake it. He could very well still release the 100th stream digitally for just 1$ but still the one one Zora is the first release and the buyer can decide how much it's worth for him. Also I'm pretty sure he will release it to the masses because he stressed that "there will only be 1 FIRST release of something". And finally with this technology you are able to proof that this is the first release and not coming from the 2nd batch on iTunes even though the file is 100% identical. Simply because you can trace that it wandered from Mike's digital wallet address to your digital wallet address. Now you could of course, if Mike releases this digitally for everyone else, just get that, and rip the animation and create your own .mov file. Do you have the same now? Yes and no. You might think the buyer is the stupid person because you've got exactly the same now. But the buyer thinks you are the stupid person because he has the original, everybody can verify on the blockchain that it went from Mike's digital wallet adress to his digital wallet address. But does it really matter? For you probably not, but for collectors it does matter. You will never be able to sell your .mov file for any money if interested people can't follow it on the blockchain. So Mike now just put more NFTs up on Zora. A text with his name, and a drawing. You can potentially just screenshot the drawing and put it as your profile pic, you can open a text editor and write "Mike Shinoda". But does it have the same collectible value? No. But is it worth any money? That's up to yourself. I also never cared about collecting coins or stamps, but still I do understand that others can see unique value with a price tag on them. Tbh I'm very interested in the "Mike Shinoda" text NFT. This is a new thinking where digital things can be collectibles and it's very interesting to think if digital goods can be collectibles. This is all a very new concept and has still to be proven if this concept will find it's way into a niche or even into society. To maybe break it down to our current world which is not too abstract: Think of a physical Mona Lisa which is connected to a token on the blockchain. You can only sell it with the token, which means the token will be transferred from one digital wallet to another digital wallet. If you can't, then the Mona Lisa is a fake because there can only be one single Mona Lisa token on the whole blockchain that you can trace to its beginnings. And even if you duplicate the Mona Lisa and try to sell it with the token, will the original have any worth because you can't proof it? Will the new Mona Lisa still have the full value even though it's duplicated? Is all that matters then just the token on the blockchain? These are hypothetical questions that I can't answer yet but it's very interesting to think about such a future.
