collision course directors cut

it's gone from him creating a song a day. to him using 1 song over an entire year and milking it as much as possible. We've seen both sides.

I prefer him being prolific and showing how quickly he can turn around a song and finish it/get it in a decent structure.

I'm not sure what the aim of milking Already Over is, it does feel like song abuse at this point.

For anyone looking for a face value copy, rough trade still have them in stock.

I thought 320 changes direction had merged with give an hour foundation. That seems to be what all the sites re direct to, i'm not sure how involved Talinda still is as not seeing much activity anymore.

rough trade will have it online

If these new releases by MS becomes successful, WB will definitely revive LINKIN PARK because the band still have album contracts that has not been delivered by LP because of Bennington's passing. How many albums left for LP? was it 5-album deal? so OML was the first of that new contract yeah? or I'm just confused?

If this were true, the remasters would count as would live albums/greatest hits. Liam Gallagher just got out of his numbered deal with Warner by releasing 3 live albums (Unplugged, Down By The River and Knebworth 22). I think the band would easily wrap it up with Live Album releases and remasters which are already active.

Mike's deal will be completely seperate and will not inlcude LP releases

a lot of shops, have an online prescence/ebay shop. So a lot of these will be available online also.

To be honest this movement, for me, wasn't off the cards. We've spoke here about how "relatively" cheap the box sets are for all they contain. I don't know the benefit margin for these boxsets, but I don't thing it would be that big. Enough to justify the production of it, I suppose. So I guess that's why, if you really want everything on vinyl (which seems the most desirable format nowadays), you REALLY have to pay for it. Which means buying the regular box set, the vinyl only edition, and now this. For me, that's the REAL price for having everything.

 

Overpriced? Maybe, but let's face it, manufacturing vinyls is way more expensive than CDs, so Warner has to scrap money everywhere to make profit. There's a lot of LP fans around the world, but hardcore fans like the ones who dwell in this forum? Perhaps 20% of the entire fanbase. 

 

At last, I don't thing the band itself has anything to do with this release. They'll probably have the standard contract: Band retains the right to the songs, but Warner owns the master recordings. They'll receive royalties for this product, but its the label who has the last word when it comes to release something. 

 

PS: I'm a CD guy, so my only "concern" is to have someday the Nottingham and the full LIT shows on that shiny little format. 

and to add to this. Vinyl collectors know that limited releases such as these, will only go up in value over the years.

to be honest, they would have either put this out as RSD or swapped it with Live In Texas/ Live In Nottingham I feel. I don't feel bad about it as I would pay for it reguardless (i bought box HT sets to get all the vinyl.)

this leaves potential for this to be on vinyl for RSD

man they should of done an albums worth back when albums were getting uploaded to rb. Would of bought them all

From the inside looks too clean to be a AI upscale. Looks like it might be re rendered from source.

based on these clips, where Chester is sat, clothes he is wearing. When Chester says "we rewrote a song for over the 97th time" i assume they are actually referring to Lost. So Thoughts That Take Away My Pride might have been one of the rewrites for that day and then scrapped tried again.

Im also certain that nocturnal is numb. I base that on the nighttime nature sound at the begining which im willing to guess has stayed in the song since the demo.

Lost also plays after Chester sings the disclosure agreement song, but its a different intro

the footage of just drag it out are the same as fighting myself being worked out. I think it's early fighting myself

It was also good to hear Mike mention in the discord chat that Chester would be the one to sort of shit on name ideas and keep joking when the rest was trying to be production (Mike also hinted that joe would also join in with Chester), it creates a balance of us just seeing the good stuff in LPTV. A Thousand Suns were Brad and Mike have that sort of awkward convo about the deadlines they aren't going to hit. It brings reality to the situation.

Lost demos sounds like the junked album Phoenix mentions in making of meteora

The reason One Step Closer's Bridge & Final Chorus is cut is due to time the program fits into. I'm not convinced there's any different shots in this bootleg compared to the CC DVD. I could be wrong

baffles me that "Blackbirds" is omitted again.

Let's hope so. Maybe we will grow old and younger people will laugh at us like we did when our parents or grandparents stopped going with the times.

Like when Mini Disc was the future you mean.

The problem with NFTs is the education behind them. People could fathom up something about them right now, by tomorrow someone will be claiming blind that's how it works as a fact.

I for one do not care enough about crypto currency or blockchains to even start educating myself on the subject. I pay for art with money accessible from my employment, which for a vast majority of individuals will not change any time soon.

Pods had sounds in it that appeared in later demos/songs. The whole reason behind putting the demos and those sorta things on the LPU Cd's was to give insight into how the ideas start and then expand into the songs them become

At the end of the in yhe end video. I swear it spells out something in brackets but i cant figure it out

When Mike said about Mark's vocals on those tunes. I was half thinking that he might have forgotten which ones where Chester and Mark as he does with dating material from that period. It's hard when they 1. Did a lot of demos in that period and potentially didn't add dates to the files. 2. It's a long time ago in terms of material, think about how much material is created for each album and also recycled for the next album.
