bloodbath

Absolutely, Lp were the biggest band in the world in 2004/2005, anything they touch became gold. Even a Enjoy the Silence Remix had an impressive amount of airplay! They could have done a Collision Course tour and make an stadium tour. So yeah, basically in 2005 they "lose momentum" by not touring. Even though they deserved a break, of course.

I'm impressed I didn't knew that there was so much material, both released and unreleased. But again, I'm skeptical about this release and it has nothing to do with the "main" band. Besides Remember the Name, I don't remember that the album was a HUGE success. By no means a failure, but not enough to justify a gargantuan boxset like we've seen in the past years. Besides the hardcore fans, not many people are gonna be interested in some parallel project from 20 years ago. We would be lucky if we had some sort of 2CD edition or something like that.

MTM could have two discs with completely different music. Whereas ATS, while also my favorite, all the songs would be more "cohesive" and similar. I don't know If I explained myself properly

I agree with you on that, hate to play the IFs game, but if Chester would still be alive, they would be too busy with whatever thing to be wasting time with anniversaries of any kind, the celebration would be something in the vein of APFMH in Paris 2010, they played HT at Download just for the money, basically. Regarding MTM, if the album would have came out in 2005, you can be sure that we wouldn't have anything, but in 2027, when the new lineup will be well established and perceived as proper members and not usurpers (people are gonna people), then we might get a chance.

Absolutely, it must be weird as fuck. On one hand, I think he doesn't feel in power to censor anyone, on the other, having a guy cosplay your dead best friend, even though as a tribute... PS: After watching the segment, you're all such a drama queens, he hasn't said anything remotely controversial.

Another boxset would be a cash grab, to be honest. Man, regarding Jeff, after reading all the comments, I kinda feel bad for him. He seem to me like a father who has better intentions than idea about raising his son and after many mistakes his kid doesn't even want to speak with him anymore. He feels tremendously guilty years after and collects every single thing his son has done when he was in good terms with him. I don't know, maybe is a douchebag, but seems honest to me.

I still don't understand the dynamics between the band and Jeff. Mike implies that Jeff was an asshole with the band. While in the other hand, Jeff seems the biggest, most invested fan in the world. What went wrong betwythem? Did Jeff mistreated LP, was he a good guy but committed some mistakes? Btw, HUGE THANKS FOR THIS

I get it, for him must be an uncanny feeling

@KeysToTheLinkinPark The DJ set was the lesser evil during that 2013-2017 era. I still like it, although the timing for it was quite bad, it could have worked during a short in-between albums tour, like 2009, since it gets tiresome having basically the same setlist for a whole year, especially after spoiling us with rotating setlist since 2007. And as you have pointed out, it doesn't make sense while promoting a guitar driven record, which each day it passes it gets clearer that Mike was the only who really liked the album. The weirdest year for me was 2013, they went from their usual busy year to a half assed tour. Even with the THP era and the 2016 hiatus we know more or less what happened behind scenes. True that they had the Raid Soundtrack, but half a year just for that?? And why did you decided this over touring? And about the OML era, as @LPLStaff mentioned, one year for half hour of their weakest music... Is disappointing. Mike is a very creative person, but TBH, the period from 2015 to 2017 is a writer's block for me. The OML songs would be C or D sides on the M2M era! As for Brad and Rob, as cruel it might sound, if they were the reason for playing 90 minutes with the same songs because they were tired or whatever, I'm glad they're no longer in the picture (I would love them to contribute in studio, don't get me wrong!!)

Get ready for 20 more years of "who recorded the show, MTV or Fiore?" 🤣

I think it worked even in it's original incarnation, as an encore opener, although I know it wasn't very popular by many

You're always so delusional hahahaha Signed: Best team of the city

Any In Between fans up here?

It would be great! I just hope that a shitty team like Real Madrid doesn't win that final 🤣

Just a few come in mind: Qwerty A Line in the Sand Shadow of the Day No More Sorrow Pushing me Away/P5hng me A*WY

I think we're on a very early case of a "live exclusive" version. We've keep wondering for years if that abridged version existed in studio, but for me it's like the live intros/outros LP have been playing since 2004. You know, the OSC intro opener, the Faint outro... There's no "studio versions" of those and we've just accepted as it is. Best case scenario would be a rehearsal of those, but nobody will lose a night of sleep over it.

Knowing the number of leaks of HT demos that have been since day 1, I think nobody would notice if "somebody" broke into his home and casually upload of all them to the internet...

Is this vault available somewhere? Or just Jeff showing off his collection?

We have half of the EP at a decent price, And One/Part of Me in the compilation Songs from the Underground and Step Up in the ITE single and the 2CD Hybrid Theory edition. We still missing Carousel, Technique and High Voltage. Wonder why they didn't included the CD version on the boxset or the 2CD edition and just the vinyl. Yeah, I know the latter was a first time thing, but I'm not a huge fan of vinyl

They'd probably have done it for that very same reason. Furthermore, now the hype for The Emptiness Machine is gone, as we're already accustomed to it, the exclusivity loses its purpose.

I would have put Foreword together with Don't Stay, to be honest

Is the same recording from the LP's livestream?

Cut the Bridge is the next to go for me
