bloodbath

We've been expecting new things from the band for 7 years. I think we can wait a little bit more. Don't get too obsessed, do other stuff, get distracted! But don't be here pushing F5 on this website every 30 minutes. That attitude is killing many of you.

Remember guys the HT 15th anniversary? All the hype surrounding that year... For just a bunch of merch an a Mike interview. I don't want to get too overexcited, tbh

> Live in Texas was also censored after the remaster...

 

Live in Texas was always censored.

Perhaps it was never censored, perhaps the band, knowing they were being filmed automatically, muted themselves out when any of them dropped an F-bomb.

BLEED IT OUT MEDLEY?

 

BIO + DRUM SOLO + APFMH + NRL + SABOTAGE + FRIENDS??

+ Extended intro, w/sing-along, slow-fast outro. Total length: 17 minutes.

Pretty cool! Which program did you used?

Perhaps they'll stop after ATS20. MTM was the last huge album for the masses, not so much as Meteora and HT but many of their songs are highly recognized.

ATS would be pretty much the band's wish to be released, besides WFTE, everyone kinda forgot about it.

Same goes for the remaining records, except for Burn it Down and One More Light, the rest of the tracks are for hardcore fans. The difference between those albums and ATS is that I don't think the band nowadays thinks highly of them, so won't be worthy of a boxset

Tak hates Mike and after Shinoda removed once again (first time With You remix) a verse by Ryu i think that their friendship fell apart.

 

 

Someone please could tell me why this long feud between Shinoda and SOB?

Only way for records to sound good through vinyl is on older stuff, pre-1999/2000 I assume(?)

 

I have a bunch of them but mostly for aesthetic purposes. Hard pass for this as it seems that there's not much going on except the presentation, which looks pretty lame.

IMO anything pre 90 has more chances to sound better or more appropiate on vinyl since it was the standard format of music and most of the recording methods were pretty much analogic. After that CD become the new reigning force and, again, everything was recorded thinking of putting into a CD. 

For quality purposes, if HT would have been released 15 years before, vinyl would have been the format to go. Anything else is aesthetic. 

This guy makes terrific sets 

As you can see some members of the forum really love what you do

Got bittersweet feelings when this kind of recordings resurface. On one hand it's great to have them, like a new piece of history. On the other hand, it's like the LP world is stuck in the past, like an eternal loop of 2000/2017, and I feel like the entire world is on 2024 and we're stuck. 

I hope someday they announce anything and we can move on... 

Just a feeling, nothing else

I don’t understand why everything being released is on vinyl and being marketed as the best sound quality. Whenever I think of high, crisp sound quality, the hiss/scratch noise that come when playing vinyl makes it inferior to me. That’s why as an audiophile who can notice sound quality I’d always choose a CD where you can rip it in WAV/FLAC and have superior sound quality over a vinyl recording. 

Preach brother

This is getting fucking ridiculous. Two versions of HT and Meteora vinyls on the same month

Wrong

The last performance of Crawling was at the Monterrey show which was 2 days later.

 

It's cool to see this show getting some love its been out for a while.

 

These shows bring back a lot of memories, wish i had another chance to see the band again..

 

In case that you want to watch the video that i shot at Monterrey check it out here 

 

 

If i knew that this was going to be the last time i would have shot the full show, that camera was nice for its time, steady fast zoom.

 

It was a Sony camera.

 

 

my mistake, anyway it's nice to have both now

The last ever performace of the album version of Crawling! Thank you very much!!!

Wouldn't hurt anyone if they re release a variant with a code for a digital download of the instrumentals/Acapella 

That seems a little bit more realistic

Aha and you know that how? They won't buy/stream the instrumental album but they will buy a vinyl re-color?

Curious - if people don't want it, why do fan uploads on YouTube still get lots of views, often using the same files (the only rips) from back in the day?

 

An easy solution would be to put it up on streaming services.

Maybe because many people still considering that LP is Chester Bennington? Wanna talk about numbers? Compare views from instrumental versions with songs with voices. 

The hardcore fandom is big, but not as much as you think, which doesn't always translate into selling.

Oof another vinyl version, I mean it's cool and all, but what is holding WBM back in officially releasing HT and Meteora (and maybe Reanimation) Instrumental albums.

Because most people doesn't want it and won't buy it. Plain and simple.

The only variant that I actually want to own is the pink Hybrid Theory CD and the black one too those are amazing.

Didn't knew those versions! Which version did they belong?

The more I see this craziness with vinyl varians, the more appreciate my CDs...

If the back cover says "Made in Germany" it will contain the single version of LOATR. https://lpcatalog.com/item/2024_papercuts/cd/0093624846017_de

Very useful, thank you!!

Question: Is there any way to tell apart the CD versions that contains LOATR single version and album version? Something like a barcode. I'd like to have the former since it's 10/11 seconds shorter

I also hope it doesn't affect MTM20 and ATS20!
That would be a shot in the foot.

I can see an ATS20 boxset, not so sure about a Living Thing 20, if you know where I'm going...
