  1. If we’re being realistic about “opening the vault”, we’ll probably get a slow drip of material from it forever.

     

    The Beatles’ full rooftop concert, their last live performance as a group, wasn’t released until 2022. It took 53 years.

     

    LP will have enough live material for many decades worth of occasional special releases, and that’s probably how it will go.

    Theres always a reason to criticize... some of you guys deserve the band just calling it quits and going silent 


    Nobody here is being malicious or attacking the band on a personal level.

     

    Saying “I don’t like the artwork” is not a cruel comment that warrants telling someone they don’t deserve to be a fan of the band.

    You are being burned right now on a latin america LP Facebook page

     

    Whats up w that ? @NJPLP

    Some people are posting to various sites that it's "confirmed" that we're getting Out of Reach and Ricochet because they "discovered" those songs on Genius.

    Others are in turn pointing out that anybody can add things to Genius, and seem to be thinking NJPLP is adding fake songs to Genius and claiming that those songs will be on the upcoming release, which obviously is not what's happening.

     

    Also, on an unrelated note, I think the people criticizing the sound of Friendly Fire are out of line. It's an outtake from the OML sessions. Of course it's going to sound like that era of the band. It also did not make the cut when the track listing was decided. Obviously there's a reason the song didn't make it. With OML being only 10 songs and about 35 minutes, it's not like they had too many songs or were running over time. So pointing out that you don't like the sound of the song, or that it sounds too similar to other songs on OML, may very well be things that the band members themselves thought when they decided to leave it off of the album.

     

    FF is being released now because of its status as a fully completed song with Chester's vocals. Whereas before this song may have gone into the vault forever or shown up eventually on an LPU release, it now has historical significance.

  4. Mike can't just post LP stems for free. He's not the only writer on most of those tracks, and Warner would have to give approval.

     

    Also, Mike didn't say "If enough people want it, maybe I could put it out there". He said he wouldn't mind it being out, but it's Warner that would need to see the demand for it in order for it to be released.

    If I were to create a Genius album page for the album, what would the artist for the album be credited to? I credited it to LPLive on my Apple Music/iTunes (when I added it myself), but should it be that or Various Artists if I were to add the album (along with all the remixes)?

     

    Could you credit the album like "Linkin Park and Various Artists"? Then the songs would be listed like "Faint [Jakub Patok Remix]", "Lying From You [Xefuzion Remix]", etc.

  6. For all we know, one or more members of the band had a John Deacon-like reaction to Chester's passing.

     

    John Deacon was the bassist for Queen, and after Freddie Mercury died he only played with the band 3 more times and then retired from music completely. Even when Queen continued on, he declined and said it's not the same without Freddie. His desire to be in a band and play live music died with Freddie, basically, which is sad.

     

    If anybody in LP had a similar response, I don't think Mike and the others would be keen to replace them and move on.

     

    It's not like Phoenix, Rob, Brad, and Joe are just sitting by the phone waiting on a call from Mike to assemble. All 5 of those guys need to be on the same page and with one accord for LP to move forward however they choose, and obviously that hasn't happened as of yet.

    IF Mike was aware that Kyle wasn't being properly credited for his job, since he's a control freak, then what a dumb move by him, believing that the band was smarter than anyone and Kyle wouldn't notice. 

     

    Mike is a control freak, sure, but that applies more to the band's image and music and overall presentation. He doesn't control the payroll of Warner Records and it wouldn't have been Mike's job to clear everything up financially with Kyle in preparation for HT20's release. Linkin Park is not an independent band. They are signed to Warner, and Warner has people who are meant to take care of that stuff in order to protect the company from potential legal issues like the one they're now facing.

     

    If the goal was to not acknowledge or downplay Kyle's contributions to the band in order to make sure he doesn't get paid, which would be a super dick move considering the fact that we're talking about a percentage of a few tracks of HT20 and nothing on HT itself, then Mike wouldn't have openly discussed Kyle multiple times on Twitch in 2020 including talking about specific parts that Kyle wrote and recorded on songs that made it onto HT20.

     

    He'll probably accept a settlement from Warner long before it goes to an actual trial.

    So, it's just a single or he will release songs sporadically? 

    Seems like he’s going the “drop a single whenever I feel inspired, make a song, and that song is ready” route rather than crafting an album and releasing that.


    I wish he would drop an album and tour, as doing a single once every whenever is not going to sustain his popularity in the mainstream, especially with no touring to promote his music. I still regularly will recommend his music to people, but it’s been 6 years and he’s dropped one album and a few singles.

     

    Not to sound dramatic, but with Mike insisting that there are no plans for an MS album or tour it’s starting to feel like he’s semi-retired at this point and is more comfortable working as a producer/writer with younger artists and just dropping a single of his own here and there.

    "New Era" sounds big. Could be anything from "just" a new Mike project as a solo artist right to the end of LP.

     

    I don't think he would intentionally get people hyped and have the reveal be that Linkin Park is officially over lol. That would be a huge buzzkill no matter what else that announcement would entail.

    IF that ever happens, I think the band would be straight forward and direct about it. I don't think Mike would package that announcement as part of an announcement for new MS solo music.

    at this point: i believe they decide to keep hiatus maybe a decade. it will be fkin epic comeback when they're back after 10 years. just like how some bands making comeback after long hiatus.

     

    Are they going to want to make new music and tour in their 50's, though?

     

    Mike, yes. Not sure about the other 4 guys, though.

    Having to know how perfectionist Mike (and the LP guys) are, don't be surprised if they're holding it back together for some small reason that probably would me minimal for us but a huge of a deal for him

     

    He might feel like the demand isn't there to warrant a release of an FM show outside of an anniversary or some other occasion that would call for it. As for the PT tour, Mike has said more than once that he is opposed to releasing a full live show from that tour because he wants it to be remembered as a "you had to be there" type of thing. Like a special moment in time that is only for those who were there.

    We really know too little of their lifes, except for Mike

    We only know what they're comfortable with sharing. You say "except Mike" but Mike himself is pretty guarded when it comes to his life outside of music. He was a guest on a podcast a few years back and, during a conversation about video games, he said he was uncomfortable saying how old his kids were. That's his prerogative for himself and his family.

     

    With that said, Rob has always been the most private of all the band members. He will share what he wants when he wants, and in the meantime Mike and the others will continue to respect his privacy.

    They probably don´t even have the stems for the song

    They definitely do. Mike mixed this song for inclusion on Meteora 20. The stems were required for him to do so. Same with Fighting Myself, which Mike outright said he had to make sure they had the stems for it so they could mix it for Meteora 20.

    I know it might be a bit "off-topic" but any guess as to why the band omitted to release the Instrumentals for Meteora for the anniversary too?

     

    They didn't do it for HT20 either and it's sorta weird, given that they released their Instrumentals since Living Things.

     

    They did release the instrumentals for LT and THP, but they did not release the instrumentals for OML. They were leaked.

  15. It's all subjective, and I think a big part of it is what era of the band is your personal favorite. Some of the people I see saying that they prefer the 2002 mix of Lost have made it clear in other threads that HT and Meteora are their favorite LP albums, so naturally the version of Lost that was mixed during that time for inclusion on Meteora sounds better to them.

     

    Conversely, some of the people I see saying they prefer the 2023 mix of Lost have made it clear in other threads that the later albums are their favorite. That also makes logical sense.
