    Spiritbox are my favourite “new” band. Been a fan since the first EP, their career is so great, loved them in iwabo, but Spiritbox is miles ahead of anything they made in iwabo. Mike is a beast on guitar and you gotta love Courtneys vocals. 

    IWABO was great, but a very niche band and very misunderstood. With Spiritbox they've learned from their mistakes and make a music much more accessible

    I don't mind an old-school LP album with Shinoda as a lead singer as long it's in the style of Nobody's Listening, High Voltage (HTEP), etc. Give Joe Hahn something to do beside pressing the MIDI. Let him scratch like he used to.

    Thata would only work if they play small venues.

     You have to exactly replicate the 2000-2005 sound, can't be too Carousel or else people ain't gonna like it.

    I can imagine a finished version with better drums, the finished Meteora guitar sound, and Chester's vocals on it. I don't think the lyrics were all the strongest, but it could've gone farther. A great demo for sure it's one of my favorite Meteora demos. I think Halo and Attached will always be my favorite Meteora era demos though, even though they're both instrumental. I feel like Halo is a very unpopular favorite but it's just one I could've seen getting finished with full vocals (also having the loud ass guitar part in the chorus cleaned up and redone at NRG) and being damn amazing.

    Los Angeles, March 7, 2024 

     

    In a surprising turn of events, former collaborator Kyle Christner has filed a lawsuit against the iconic rock band Linkin Park, claiming unpaid royalties for songs he recorded with the group. 

    Christner, who had worked with Linkin Park during the early stages of their career, asserted that he played a significant role in the creation of some of the band's most renowned tracks. His legal team argued that he was entitled to a share of the royalties generated by these songs.

     

    However, instead of engaging in a protracted legal battle, the parties reached an unexpected settlement. Linkin Park opted to provide Christner with an exclusive Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set, commemorating two decades since the release of their groundbreaking debut album.

    "Give me a box set and we forget all of this." Gotta love this guy

    It's a mix of Blackout, A06 demo, Fine Victimized, NRL but still it sounds like its own thing.

     

    It's probably the only LP song that has a Industrial vs Nu Metal sound 

     

    The other track that has some of that is By Myself Manson Remix but LP didn't work on that.

    Massive was my most played song last year from LP, it's almost hypnotic and it would fit with the current Metalcore sound heavily influenced by djent/Deftones, like Spiritbox or Wage War

    My holy grail for MTM20 is definitely one of the 99 versions of BIO and NRL with Chester on vocals. Oh and getting stuff like Pretend to be and Fear (LOATR demo) released on Spotify would be sick. I try to stay grounded and not dream too much

    We're getting a boxet in 2027 of Bleed it Out. Five hours of demos and remixes

  7. I was just wondering, when it comes to different tastes between band and fans, songs like Runaway or Easier to Run always gets in our thoughts. 

     

    They might be fan favourites, but despite this, they don't get too much highlight when it comes to setlists just because some band members aren't very fond of or they literally despise them. 

     

    But what about the opposite case? Songs that, for whatever reason they love, but since most fans couldn't care less, they have to shelve them until further notice, since it would break the mood of the crowd.

     

    I always considered as such songs like In Between or ALITS, which have barely lasted in the live shows and I've never heard the band saying anything negative about them.

    I love In Between idk why. So good. I understand why they only played it live on a few tours but I felt like it sounded good live too, just like Hands Held High, I always loved the live version of Hands Held High when the whole band performed it like on the album. Phoenix singing backup too on that and Little Things was dope.

    It would have been perfect for an acoustic/intimate show. That was one of the few things the band didn't tried.

    how did you know all about these information?

    I don't know about another countries, but in the European Union ones you have to pay royalties to the original owner if you include samples of other songs in your albums or play a cover for a live album. When it comes to simply playing live, as many bands do,it usually gets overlooked, because the band isn't gaining profits from something that isn't their "property". 

     

    It would be quite reckless of them to publish a live show screaming at the world that they're using samples without have paid for them previously. 

     

     

    PS: Correct me if I'm wrong, I am not an authority on this topic by any means. But what I mean to say is: Hold your superhero syndrome, Hybrid Theory isn't stealing anything from Linkin Park.

    didnt know about Rock in Rio damn... totally awful! seems like their approach is to replace LP.

    The label should take action. this is not a tribute its just an easy cashgrab.

    They've paid for all the samplers they use in their live shows, so everything's legal, like it or not.

    Isn't it a bit sad how we hype so much for a new release, then 1 week after it's realeased the magic is gone? It's a bittersweet feeling, like i'm taking things for granted.

    Best example of this was Pictureboard, i think. 2 decades craving for it, and after the release it all just gets behind like it never happened or meant much.

    I was thinking the exact same, there's this tendency of burning the hype for something too quickly, like, people going crazy over FF or Pictureboard and then the 2 songs come out and it's all over after a week. Like, we got a lot of holy grails in the last 4 years, shit! I'm so happy to have FF, Lost, FM and MTV, plus Healing Foot and Massive. We got an EP of songs with vocals in a year, I am still blown away

    Yeah I was just thinking about this listening to Healing Foot.  I feel like it's hardly talked about for being something people talked about so long.

     

    Wish we could just talk about the songs themselves for a little bit longer like the LPA "one song at a time" thread from a few years ago. I want to talk about the lyrics, chord progressions, what works what doesn't etc. Everything from M20 is still so interesting to me a year later. 

    Satisfaction is the death of desire

    Most of the time when we hear these b-sides and cut tracks, I can see why they were cut no matter how much I like them. I totally see why Lost is too similar to Numb for example. FF though, it's actually pretty different from other OML songs, at least in this form (who knows how much they changed since 2017). 

     

    The swing rhythm isn't there on any other tracks, the acoustic guitar on the second verse is kinda a unique touch, the "Fiiiireee" refrain is unique from other refrains that are either more wordy or the "na na na" from HR, the vocal outro is kinda unique. The only striking similarities to other songs for me are the way it starts abruptly with vocals like HR and Heavy, the fact that it's all just Chester-focused with no back and forth like BS and NCSM, but overall it's not too similar imo. They went really hard with cutting on OML it seems to me, because this could have easily been an 11th track without the album overstaying its welcome imo. Here's to hoping Tidal Wave, Out Of Reach and the others see the light of day sometime  

     

     

    Absolutely, Lost is a great song, but it has shined thanks to be released on its own. If Lost would have been released back in 03 I'm pretty sure that it would have been easily forgotten because it's "that song that sounds like Numb, but worst". You can dislike Nobody's Listening or Hit the Floor, but no other songs sounds alike, plus it proved that Linkin Park could evolve and not regurgitate the same songs over and over again.

    QWERTY wasn't ever finished, it's still in demo form. It didn't make it through the process. His changes aren't great compared to the live version, of course, but we don't know what a finished QWERTY would even sound like if it got to the same point in the process Given Up or something did.

    This might sound dumb, but I have to ask, what makes a song a demo? I mean, I've never thought of Qwerty as a demo, but a B-Side, that's why I'm very intrigued by your comment. What would be the difference compared to a song like Across the Line, which I also consider a complete track.
