  1. U must be joking!!!!! Of course now linkinparkmedia stops working on my laptop!!!!! AHHHH!!! Is it on other sites yet? Wait Devon is the guy that was involved in that stalking lawsuit rite?

    If I remember right, Devon was a female who stalked Chester for an extended period of time. She was a normal fan at one point who went of the deep end. There's a picture of her and Chester together before everything that transpired.

     

    She went nuts though, it's nice to have the show. How'd it come about being released?

  2. Completely agreed. NIN is so generous to the fans, It's crazy. Doing this, releasing 3 albums in one year. Releasing raw multi-tracks for mixers, it just goes on and on.

    Getting released from Interscope was probably the best thing that could have happened. I find it funny that the label couldn't figure out what to do with such a fan oriented band. Maybe because everything is so much like a open source product?

  3. I just have the ones from the DVD that came with the physical package, which is 1,000,000, Letting You, Discipline, Echoplex and Head. I don't have anything else Slip related, except the radio edit of Discipline.

     

    I do have a good deal of NIN stuff - about 17 gigs.

  4. That's awesome. Time to buy a new Hard Drive? :P

     

    Here's a little more fun to add:

    There's more out there, but they haven't been released yet. A user on remix.nin.com posted them, but the mods there won't allow anymore because they aren't remixes. I think they let some slip through and they're slowly taking them down.

  5. A lot of live songs, remixes, and song samples/snippets ;)

    Thanks! I thought that was the case, but I just wanted to double check. I'd rather wait for the full songs than the snippets, or I'll just wind up overplaying them.

  6. Thanks for the heads up! I really liked the Kick The Bass EP, and these remixes have been pretty cool.

     

    Is there a list of songs that have been released? I have the EP, This Machine, Waking Up, Death to Analog and Look at U.

     

    Can anyone let me know if I'm missing anything else?

  7. i like your review. did you meet sal? and it looks you got mark fiore in the one of you and chester

    Thanks! I keep noticing little spelling errors in it though! I did meet Sal for a few. My friend has one LP tattoo and she started talking to him. It took me a minute to realize it was him, but I knew I'd seen him before. I think his leg or something was messed up that day.

     

    That's the one picture I didn't take, so I didn't notice Mark so much. Too busy paying attention to the other guy, lol.

     

    That show we only had a disposable camera, so the only good pictures came from the M&G. I'm not complaining about that, but the show pics you can only see the ferris wheel, lol.

  8. omg this review makes me even more pissed that I decided not to go!!!!

    Sorry! I know that feeling though. I didn't go to Roseland Ballroom on the LPU tour when it was free! I was in a really bad place then, but I heard stories from people who went about how great it was and I wish I would have put together plans to go.

  9. Here's my review, hope you all enjoy:

     

    Seeing LP play Bamboozle was a strange experience, although an amazing one that set up the year to

    come. My decision to go to Bamboozle was thought out for a while. I was on the fence about going to

    a festival show again, but with an amazing bunch of bands playing and LP revealed as a headliner

    for their first US show back, I happily said goodbye to a large sum of money.

     

    This was my second show. My first had been in 2004 at Jones Beach, but I was much younger then.

    There was a long break in between the two shows and in that time my feelings on LP had been mixed

    up and I was really nervous about the album.

     

    Shortly before the date came, I learned that my girlfriend, another friend and I had all been

    selected for the LPU Meet and Greet and we were all incredibly excited.

     

    Omitting a bit of details in between, I finally found myself waiting near a gate in heat and

    knowing LP weren’t far off. A small group of LPU members were led back behind the gate and

    eventually a white van showed up and LP jumped out. The whole thing seems really blurry and

    happened very fast, but the guys were really nice and signed my copy of Meteora and Chester even

    posed for photos with us! Mike broke the rules a bit, sneaking stuff over and through the gate and

    signing it for non-LPU members!

     

    Now I was insanely excited about the show and we rushed up toward the stage and got fairly close.

    It seemed like forever standing there, waiting for the band to come out. Finally, the intro of OSC

    started and the place broke out into pits instantly. I was in shock to hear LP OPEN with this, but

    it was an amazing curveball. There was the crunch of empty water bottles every other step and a

    mass of people just going insane. Mike got the crowed fired up with “Lying From You” and then

    finally they gave us the new stuff. The pounding, militant sounding new songs (“No More Sorrow” and

    “Given Up”) sent everyone even crazier than before, which seemed unbelievable. Everything finally

    came to a head during “Papercut”. The excitement was high as the band revisited Hybrid Theory, but

    I’ll admit that being so close to the pit and the throwing bottles became more than we could

    handle, so we fell back.

     

    The rest of the show felt like re-grouping and is blurry, but when the encore hit all my energy

    went full force into the show and I think my neck suffered permanent damage during the end of

    “Faint” due to head banging. Hearing these old songs all over again and getting a look at what the

    band was doing with the new songs sent my excitement sky-high about the band again.

     

    Here's some of the better pictures taken during the M&G:

  10. If anyone knows how to download the source mp3s from MySpace, the LOATR remix sounds much better than the version I posted. I don't know if it's cool to actually post, but it's not very hard to get songs from MySpace. Just a heads up.

  11. Numb is the only song not released from this performance, Faint and FTI were on the What I've Done Single. And BTW: AC3 (dolby audio) is not lossless ;)

    That's right, I forgot they were from Japan and didn't put the two together :lol:

     

    I converted the DVD audio to FLAC just to save from any further loss, it seemed like the best way to do so (aside from WAV, which tends to be harder to share due to the larger file size).

     

    I think I might just redo the link to feature just "Numb" then.

  12. I really think that with the way some of the posts I've read with the reactions people have had, I really hope Mike did do it as a slap in the face - you need one.

     

    Everyone was so dead-set against "We don't want live tracks", but didn't offer up any alternative. I thought about this a lot the other day, and I think that it could have been done better. However, I can say that because I've the LPU, I've had a wealth of exclusives, though maybe not in CD form.

     

    I've had connections with people to find out about demos and b-sides I wouldn't have otherwise and hands down, the only reason I need is that thanks to an LPU presale, I got to sit the the 7th row (which was constructed in a way in which it was pretty much the 4th row).

     

    Think over the good things you have. Maybe they fouled up a bit on this one, but they could have done a lot worse.

  13. Before saying anything, I do want to say that I really respect the band very much. However, I think this was an extremely poor choice on their part.

     

    The problem is that people are always looking for Mike to dig up some demos and stuff that he either just does not have, or is not willing to release. But that isn't what this CD needed to be. The CD could have focused on something like, for example, the Leave Out All The Rest (M. Shinoda Remix) was only released on a Japanese CD that would cost about somewhere over $20 to import. As a member of the fan club, I would say that if that was on the CD - saving people from having to import a single for a large amount of money, I would be more than happy.

     

    This could also be said for the other CD Singles, as they are now out of print and it's hard to get your hands on them. Couldn't a CD look something like this, for example?

     

    "Papercut (Live BBC Radio Session), Leave Out All The Rest (M. Shinoda Remix), BUY_MYSELF (Marilyn Manson Remix), No Roads Left"

     

    These are all tracks that are either out of print or extremely expensive to own in a physical form if you do not live in that respective country. I feel like this CD was a completely miss opportunity, with the jokes not being quite enough to really merit it's purchase (sorry guys, just not my brand of humor, I guess?). If the band felt the pressure to release a CD and didn't have anything, LPU 8 could have been designed in a different fashion. Gasp? No CD? Yes, if it would stop people from complaining. The package is expensive - so I remember when I first heard LPU 2.0's CD, I really felt like it was worth it - an exclusive CD with great tracks.

     

    However, yeah, the CD sucks. But I'm not gonna loose much sleep over it.

  14. You can't get any of these songs by joining the LPU anyway, none of them are from the LPU7 CD. Once a year of the LPU is over, the "exclusiveness" of any of the songs from that year or any year before it is completely irrelevant because they're no longer part of the LPU package anyway.

    I think the idea is that they become out-of-print CDs, therefore making them exclusive to the LPU. However, with downloading, that's less of an exclusive. Add that to "guest" being able to purchase from the LPU store and selling CDs on eBay for exorbitant amounts of money, and the CDs become a lot less exclusive.
