Who are Grey Daze?

If anyone wants to share this album with me, that would be great! If not I’ll purchase it this Friday 😊 I worked this tour with the band so would be nice to have for nostalgia reasons.

Calm down hun, there’s still more different versions of the Grey Daze vinyl than there are Mike tracks! (I’m obviously kidding around 😊)

I get the feeling it’s because Meteora is generally harder to find on vinyl these days.

I’m fairly certain it’s sampled from something by the band X-Japan - I can’t really comment on exactly what as it’s been many, many years since I last listened, but I’ll try to figure it out.

Another reason why it’s not a cash grab - and this is something I learned since getting into niche perfumes and colognes: it’s far easier to sell 20 items for $10 each, than 1 item for $200. if this was cheaper, it would be easier for them to sell more and their profits would possibly double due to high volume sales rather than higher profit markets, but they’re selling it for what it’s actually worth (or better) - and I think of it as an integrity move.

Yeah, we know haha. I have the full song with vocals, a lot of people do.

This is just a remake of it. The Xero version of Pictureboard leaked recently. If you want it, just send me a PM.

Did we not get the sample from PB in one of those gear auction things? I may be remembering wrong though...

I’ve tried emailing the oldcomp@linkinpark.com but it bounces.

Black Thought truly is a beast. I have so much love for The Roots.

Correct me if I’m wrong (Astat will know) but LP used to mix most of their guitar tracks to be most prominent in their centre channel - so turning down the centre channel in general should bring down the guitar volume.

Hilariously, the amount of shit they talk about LP and yet they have to use an LP photo to sell their shit...

The 'We are' vocals on Technical Difficulties are from Brandon Belsky, iirc.

tl;dr

No We Major neither! I'm obviously kidding...

The only thought I have regarding this is that it wasn't only the end of the MTM tour, but the end of Geki's spirit. RIP Geki's spirit.

NoBrain did a little article with LPA (I think it was) regarding the experiences. Then during the 2010 ATS tour, there was a note on the setlists with something along the lines of "(w/ NoBrain sample)" after WTCFM. The prize was to have your remix featured and do a little work on an LP song, as mentioned.

As far as memory serves, the screaming of 'we are' is in fact Brandon Belsky, not Chester.

Of course people are going to cover Chester. He was a voice of a generation, and people want to celebrate his voice, his music, and his life in different ways, and one way that is what I see to be one of the most respectful is singing his songs. Geki: You said you sing his songs sometimes in the past. If they cant, why should you? Does that mean youre gay too? Look, its fine not to like something, but be respectful about it. Not everyone will have the same view as you, and whilst youre entitled to your opinion, youre also entitled to bite your tongue every now and then. Just because you CAN say it, doesnt necessarily mean you SHOULD. Be tasteful.

They are songs he wrote or helped write. He can play whatever he wants. Also, would love to hear you sing Sorry For Now, as its so easy...

A few of us were told by a member of Dead By Sunrise at a dinner event.

Just a FYI, they were originally going to use In The Darkness by Dead By Sunrise in Twilight, but it would have meant they couldn't release it on Out Of Ashes, so Chester suggested LOATR. Let's also keep in mind the world was rather unaware of Twilight before the movies. Agreed that they had a following prior to the movie but it was the movie that made it mainstream.

You say some real dumb shit.

Mate, you're jumping the gun and being completely insensitive. We've lost the singer to our favourite band, but you can't compare the pain we feel to the pain his 5 closest friends feel. Mike made it obvious that any prolonged time listening hurts him. At this moment in time, he can't do it, let alone sit through untold amounts of content with his late best friends voice.
