bloodbath

Anyone else has felt an enormous "what if" after hearing the new Faint intro? Those kind of treats that we had in each tour....

Let it be 4

Avoid it, it's just a scam

Serious question, could the content of the interview you did with him, be used on a trial?

They shouldn't pay him, because he will come back for more, sure. What about being paid for your job? Nah, that's crazy. If that happens, like you've said, Warner has enough lawyers to shut down is suppossed avarice.

How the currents have changed, from "he's right to claim those royalties", to "he's gonna lose in court, has no idea what he's talking about".

Go home, you're drunk

IF Mike was aware that Kyle wasn't being properly credited for his job, since he's a control freak, then what a dumb move by him, believing that the band was smarter than anyone and Kyle wouldn't notice. The funniest part is that this page might have started the fire without ever know or wanting it. But in the end, if they lose the lawsuit, LP is a wealthy band, they'll just pay him and move on. No big deal for them, but an opportunity to do things right

Let's be positive, we all had ideas that in our head were fantastic, but people told us they were terrible and forced us to change them

I'm missing some Burn it Down remixes

I don't know, a random vinyl release as a wrap would be like saying that the digital MTM 15th anniversary edition it's a proper celebration of the album. I rather wait until 2025 with a deluxe edition of TRT, you put all the songs of the record, the We Major and Militia tracks, Welcome, a DVD with some performances and call it a day. 2CDs, a DVD and everyone's happy.

Because the vinyl market is full of people who willingly pay 300+ for any random shit as long is pressed on splatter-glow- in-the-dark-picture-disc or whatever they come up to.

Well, Bohemian Rhapsody isn't the best example of a biopic. There's thousands better ways to do this short film. I hope the negative feedback helps you of what not to do.

Like leftshoe18 said before, if that's what MS with friends means, I'm on board with this. We're never going to see some songs live ever again like BTH or Crawling since they were too close to Chester. But it would be such a waste that Mike by himself and a tiny band could only play a handful of LP tracks live. I'm pretty sure that he's gonna have plenty of musicians ready to play wherever he goes.

Anyone else misses the CD singles?

Yeah, they've done stuff like a best of compilation of Fear Factory, which basically is a random playlist. I suppose they give to the original label some of the streaming royalties and in exchange the label doesn't have the headache of curating new playlists/digital records. But in 99'9% of cases not even the band members are aware of this kind of releases

Record Store Day. It's a special celebration created to support the traditional record stores. That's why many musicians release something special that can only be bought during that day on those kind of shops

The vinyl market is a fucking joke

To be honest this movement, for me, wasn't off the cards. We've spoke here about how "relatively" cheap the box sets are for all they contain. I don't know the benefit margin for these boxsets, but I don't thing it would be that big. Enough to justify the production of it, I suppose. So I guess that's why, if you really want everything on vinyl (which seems the most desirable format nowadays), you REALLY have to pay for it. Which means buying the regular box set, the vinyl only edition, and now this. For me, that's the REAL price for having everything. Overpriced? Maybe, but let's face it, manufacturing vinyls is way more expensive than CDs, so Warner has to scrap money everywhere to make profit. There's a lot of LP fans around the world, but hardcore fans like the ones who dwell in this forum? Perhaps 20% of the entire fanbase. At last, I don't thing the band itself has anything to do with this release. They'll probably have the standard contract: Band retains the right to the songs, but Warner owns the master recordings. They'll receive royalties for this product, but its the label who has the last word when it comes to release something. PS: I'm a CD guy, so my only "concern" is to have someday the Nottingham and the full LIT shows on that shiny little format.

Wild guesses about this song being about LP never returning ever again in 3, 2, 1....

I've been reading all of your comments so far, and there's not much to add, but I remember, little before the album came out I listened a bootleg of one of the slowest/saddest song on the album, and I hit me hard. Months later, when I had the time to listen to the entire album I remember that, that song wasn't there. It probably was Walking in Circles or something, but my point is, the album was SO ponished and clean that it had lost the edge completely. I lost all of the interest back them, and nowaday I still rather listen a live recording that the studio counterpart. I don't know the details of the recording as well as you but I'm pretty sure the producer gave the album the Linkin Park treatment: Everything perfect and tidy, with thousands of little details, which works perfectly fine for Linkin Park, but not for a hard rock band. I don't know, maybe Warner thought that if something had Chester on it, it MUST resemble Linkin Park mandatory. In other words, Dead By Sunrise should be Linkin Park but without hip hop, and this band is far from it. Even Chester spoke it out during an interview, DBS had influences that the other guys didn't like, but it was Chester's. I agree with you on the timing, Fort Minor came out in the perfect time frame, when Linkin Park was the biggest band in the world and FM could partially fill that void. Even some of the songs like like Slip Out of the Back sounded like Linkin Park outtakes! So definitely DBS could have benefit from that, even though for me strays way far more from the Linkin Park sound than 05 Fort Minor. Instead, nobody cared about DBS by 2009, many of the casual LP fans left the boat horrified by MTM. Probably most of them discovered DBS when Chester died, and I can't blame them. To make long story short, nobody cared about DBS (labels, touring agents, etc.) but DBS.

I would be gladly surprised if Mike did a song in the style of those artist. Again, too soon to say anything

Much more upbeat than I expected

Is there a link anywhere?

He's been in that mood since Scream 6, and I have no issues at all
