What does the deep voice say at the end of the third build in the IBG Vice Remix?

I didn't "know the end of LP was inevitable" lol. I don't think Chester will leave LP in favor of STP. I'm pretty sure he literally said as much. I really don't think LP will go out like that honestly.

That's exactly what made me wonder lol, Corey Taylor's quote. I read an article about Rick the other day which mentioned a band he produced which I had never even heard of, so he probably charges more for bigger names. If Corey Taylor considers Slipknot's fee a horrendous amount of money, I'm pretty sure a band just starting out wouldn't be able to afford that.

Lol I can literally picture him reading his own work and saying "Mike would not like this" and scratching it out. That's pretty interesting actually lol.

I don't like how they printed the lyrics. Anyway my question is: Has LP paid Rick Rubin the same amount for each record he produces? If so how much did he charge? I'm curious. The information might not be available though, I realize.

He was credited for "additional programming" if I remember right.

That or maybe the STB remix. Most likely you're right though.

I believe Reanimation felt more cohesive because it involved a lot more input from the entire band. Not just some remixers emailing Mike (I'm assuming) some remixes they made from the stems, and Mike remixing a couple songs and recording a couple verses. Reanimation felt almost like another studio album with the way they completely rebuilt those songs in every way, while Recharged just feels like a thrown together compilation of EDM remixes. Don't get me wrong, I'm just speaking from my own personal opinion. While I like both albums, I don't really think this should be compared to Reanimation. They are both technically remix albums, but the vibe and experience are completely different to me. Overall, the remixes are actually pretty cool. I do think Recharged has some replay value, I only really dislike the middle few songs (literally #6-9), but Reanimation to me was and is way more special. I really feel like the band (all 6 members) put a huge amount of effort into Reanimation, and it doesn't exactly feel that way with Recharged. Probably they all just listened the tracks to choose from and they voted on which to use. As in "yeah, put that one on there". Am I wrong, or was Mike the only person in the band who actually put new studio work in to the album (with his remixes and verses)? That question not including ALTNC, which (I could be wrong) was just Mike & Chester actually recording, with input from the rest of LP. As far as Mike doing another FM album or EP, I think it'll happen. Given the mention by Ryu on the IBG remix, it's at least something they're "considering" (no pun intended). I think that if it happens, it will be in 2015 or 2016, after the next LP album release and initial tour that will come with it. I would love it if it was sooner, Mike has shown he definitely hasn't lost it. His verse on the STB remix is one of my favorites from him ever, LP/FM/anything else. I just think Mike is focused on Linkin Park for the immediate future, and won't want to spend time on another project right now.

I thought the quote meant that Rick was writing the album with them, as in creating parts instead of just giving advice and things of that nature. That's what I meant. I don't think Rick actually took part in the creation of the parts, writing of lyrics and all that directly. I was under the impression that he only gave his thoughts on what the band came up with.

If LPU 13 is all or almost all remixes it'll kinda be overkill with remixes in my opinion..

They should self-produce. It's not an unheard of thing. I never understood why they don't let Mike produce by himself. He's been described as "the glue", and he's a talented producer. I don't see what the problem is in letting Mike be the sole executive producer for an LP album.

I just want to take this opportunity to say that you are one of the most resourceful people on this entire forum. That's definitely meant to be a compliment lol. Anyways, yeah I think you're right. At first I thought he meant that Rick was writing the album with them, which as much of a genius as Rick might be, he's not a member of Linkin Park. Wouldn't have made sense at all.

I don't know why, but that sounds like bad news to me.

I see your point, but BID seems to be a radio song to me. To me, that song says "I was written and recorded with the intent of being on mainstream radio."

Numb is a power ballad??

Yeah this was a completely different approach then Reanimation. I remember a couple people saying Reanimation 2 was happening when they first announced Recharged. Make no mistake that this is not able to compare. I'm pretty sure with Recharged they just gave the remixers the stems, and got a remix back. Mike recorded a couple verses but I think that's it. With Reanimation I think the band were involved with every song Part of me wonders if the band (or Mike or Chester specifically) consider that one special and didn't want it touched. I mean every other song has a remix somewhere, except that one? That would be an interesting question to get to someone in the band.

Yup. Corey Taylor said he only saw Rick 4 times personally and that he would never work with him again as long as he lived. lol "...we were being charged horrendous amounts of money. And for me, if you're going to produce something, you're fucking there. I don't care who you are."

I'd like to hear Stick N' Move or Fuse with Chester's vocals. Maybe the NRL demo with Chester, and the Figure .09 with the sung verses. This is more unrealistic for an LPU release but I'd like to hear the song Mike did with Michael Buble.

Ok! That would be awesome

Nothing but truth. I still live with my parents and I'm the only one who CAN work. No car to take a road trip either. But if LP comes within a state or two (hopefully Houston since I have friends there), I'm gonna try my best to find someone who's planning on going. I've never seen LP live yet in any setting.

If there will be more Steve, personally I would rather new songs. Not remixes of other LP songs. We have enough remixes of Living Things.. I don't think we need EDM versions as well.

75 songs. Chester would never speak again and Rob's arms might just fall off lol. Joe is the only one who would be fine just kidding

What do you mean by "main"? RECHARGED isn't really a main album. Just like Reanimation is not something I would consider a main album. Just saying lol

I'm almost positive it won't be out that fast. When the album gets to be a few months away, they'll start promotion and release a single probably. If it was this close they probably would have done that by now or in the very very immediate future. I hope it comes out early 2014 but I'm gonna predict summer.

Really interested in hearing/seeing this performance.
