I always figured there was more to the LP/Aoki collaboration than just ALTNC. I know it wasn't much to go on but I thought that when Steve said (in the making of ALTNC) something to the effect of it was "one of the first" songs where he had to bridge his world and the LP world. It would be cool to hear an LP remix by Aoki

I've always wondered if that's from some unreleased demo, or if he wrote that before the show.

High Voltage (Remix) Across the Line I Have Not Begun Blackbirds We Made It (feat. Busta Rhymes) QWERTY Standing in the Middle Dedicated No Roads Left She Couldn't

If they go to Florida, I'm going somehow. I've given up hope that they'll ever perform in my home state again.

Are you being sarcastic? Lol

Are the voicemail interludes on Reanimation actual messages from Mike's phone at the time, or were they recorded knowing they were going to be on the album?

Shirley Temple's Pussy, with Chester Bennington. Couldn't resist lol

I could have sworn I read somewhere that there would be a remix contest for ALTNC. I would assume that means yes, if not the multitracks like for the LITE contest.

If it's proven that the auditor lied and Hayes was right, then wouldn't he be able to claim wrongful termination against LP?

Apparently Danny Hayes helped LP negotiate their 2002 contract with WB, and also to re-negotiate their contract in 2006. He told LP that the new contract improved their royalties, which led to the agreement being reached. Then in 2009 LP hired someone else, Paul Hutchinson, to audit their royalties, I would assume to make sure that everything was as it should be. Apparently it turned out that when they signed in 2006, they were receiving less royalties from digital sales than they were before, despite WB and Hayes claiming their contract would give them MORE royalties from digital sales, not less. So the conclusion was reached that Hayes lied to Linkin Park in order to get them to sign their 2006 contract, which ended the WB/LP conflict, and Hutchinson discovered it. The band fired Hayes, so Hayes decided to sue Hutchinson over his evaluation. He claims basically that Hutchinson intentionally caused conflict between Linkin Park and Hayes, and that Hutchinson lied to LP in order to harm Hayes' reputation and damage his credibility. Hutchinson tried to have the lawsuit dismissed by claiming the evaluation he gave LP was made in anticipation of legal action being taken. However, this claim was dismissed, so the lawsuit will proceed. If I'm wrong...sorry. I'm sure Astat or Mark will correct me. From what I can see, that's how it looks in simple terms though.

I don't think these are considered working titles for the album, they were just album title ideas. I mean I don't think the project was ever actually known as or referred to as Almanac, for example.

Probably just more aggressive. My first thought when I read that was something with a hard beat and heavy synths. A song that fits the literal genre of hardcore would feel slightly out of place on an album that is shaping up to be mostly EDM oriented. Then again I'm just guessing and I could be wrong.

Wow... Part of me is glad that it hasn't leaked and part of me wants to go look up that remix because it legitimately sounded cool.

Most of it sounds awesome! I don't want to really offer an opinion based on like 4 second previews lol but the Shinoda remixes sound cool.

Q93 is definitely not the station to call in LA to request Linkin Park. All they play is hip-hop, r&b and .....bounce (the worst form of music ever invented). Website: http://www.b97.com Request Line: (504)-260-9797 Much more likely choice

I was thinking that. That would have been kinda funny actually lol.

lol "yeah....yeah it's gonna be good." Mike talks for 5 more minutes: "Yeah I think it'll be really good"

This one is random but "Call Me" by Shinedown. Mike on Piano, Chester singing lead.

Thank you for posting

Yeah they posted it yesterday I think. I was thinking they'll probably post part 2 next week, after it's been Xbox exclusive for a week. (That's basically what they did with this)

lol you mean when they played 2 songs?

LOL I said it would be an interesting thing to ask, not that I actually have a way to ask them! I wish.. That was hypothetical.

It would definitely be interesting to ask. I'm pretty sure they might say something generic like "we don't have any plans for something like that right now" which is obvious. If they say that I would ask (in a respectful way) why not. I find it hard to believe nobody has ever offered the opportunity for LP to perform an unplugged set. Not trying to assume too much, but LP is a huge name. LP's first ever (full) acoustic set would be something special. If the band just doesn't want to, we have no choice but to respect that. It would be interesting to know if that's actually the case though.

Exactly. The UIB remix has been out for a while now, yeah, but at the end of the day the UIB remix will be on the same album as the reboot. So that argument is invalid in my opinion. Yeah but Astat posted that a week ago lol. It seems like they'll post the 3 parts after a week of each part being Xbox Live exclusive.

Lol I think we tend to look too deep into things sometimes. If Joe made a full remix I would want to hear it more than the Rick Rubin version though!
