I don't think we know which guests are on which songs yet. Right? I don't know, at least, ha. I don't think because it's suddenly 2020 you need to suddenly become politically correct and rename a song like that, but it doesn't bother me. Sickness is a good remix.

Alright I will try to set things straight for where I stand on this. I don't want people thinking I have the entire website ganged up against Grey Daze or something. It's quite the opposite, I just came here to say I was unhappy about one aspect of it and then bam the floodgates opened from other people. Right now we are working on two significant LPLive projects behind the scenes so I am not fully involved in all of these conversations. I don't think it is a cash grab at all. Chester was fully on board with this and wanted it to be done. We have a lot of evidence of this and I don't think anyone should question that. For them saying he wanted to re record vocals on it, we will never know if that was true or not but we do know 100% that he wanted to do this project. And we know he wanted to do the reunion show. For that reason, I don't think the cash grab term applies. I think the guests are a good mix of folks, they talk about why they brought LP (girl) singer on board etc. The only weird one is Head from Korn because of the extremely disrespectful comments he made after Chester's death. But I think the Bush, Helmet, other Korn, Julien-K guests are all awesome. Let's see how it sounds. And it's good Chester's son is on it. Sean has a history of doing well with the remasters, because he completely nailed the early 2000s remaster he did of the album. Huge fan of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN-BUeVrsmU So I would be inclined out of the gate to completely believe that this project will be GOOD musically. Jay is a producer who knew and hung out with Chester personally - he even went to the Stone Temple Pilots Jeff Gutt private show with Chester, so that was a good move to put him in charge. Then you have professional musicians joining them at NRG. So by all of that taken into account, the music is likely going to be really good. The issues I have with it are just the way they are marketing it. There is no way they did not see (in the press) Chester's toxic family completely divide the LP fanbase at an emotionally rough time for everyone and trash Mike Shinoda in doing so. While those same people are destroying Talinda right NOW, who has been nothing but class to everyone, they are still reposting them on the Grey Daze social media. I don't like that at all, as someone who is 100% pro-Shinoda. They made quite a critical mistake by involving Chester's other family besides Talinda in this because of the feelings of the LP fanbase towards them after they (1) trashed the Hollywood Bowl show and said it was classless, (2) said Mike Shinoda is profiting off of Chester's death by playing "In the End" (Piano Version) live, and (3) completely trash Talinda as much as possible online when she's made it her #1 goal to help the LP fanbase with 320, etc. That was THE big mistake here, in my opinion. The GD guys don't see the DMs on Twitter we and LPFanCorner get from fans who are trigged by these things online. So putting his mom in the mini doc? Not smart. Remember, the LP fanbase has had history with these GD guys before - such as when they were selling fake (signed) GD CDs on eBay. We've worked with them to release older shows and archive GD's past though and I am quite thankful for that, but Sean himself is who told us not to allow the GD albums to be shared on LP fansites while he is also claiming WBR tried to wipe GD off the face of the planet online. We all know that's not true. As far as the MUSIC is concerned - I am excited to hear it. What it boils down to is I think these guys are pretty unfamiliar with how to do music press as their main jobs are outside of the music industry. Sean is talented and successful in other areas. So I think without having years of press under their belts and some coaching, they are coming off as unprofessional to some people online. They should never say something negative about LP's record label online like that, they shouldn't comment on Facebook like "we don't need Linkin Park", etc... it's THEIR fanbase they built from scratch that you are trying to advertise this to, so yes, you do need them in ONE way (not saying LP should/will/would ever endorse this project). The band goes off script and has leaked pretty much all of the information about the project early - things like that. I am sure no one involved on the Loma Vista side knew this all was going to happen and that the band would need some true social media / press / media coaching up beforehand but that should be a BIG focus if they want to do a second or even third Grey Daze album of this material. I think it would have gone a lot better if they had a real social media director who did not let the band members post at all, if they had someone guiding them before doing press, if they did not involve the extremely trashy CB family that has pissed off hundreds of thousands of Linkin Park/Chester fans by declaring a social media and press war against Mike Shinoda who worked his ass off to save the entire LP fanbase after 7/20, and if they just stuck to something like "Hey guys, we are releasing an album out this date, Chester wanted us to finish this project, and we can't wait for you to hear it" -> release.

The last thing Grey Daze needs to be doing is driving a wedge between Linkin Park fans when they need all the support they can get on their project. They shouldn't call out Linkin Park's record label that went above and beyond for fans around 7/20 etc. WBR is also doing stuff behind the scenes to help out LPLive archive the band's history. The interview and their comments on their own personal Facebook pages have a vibe that they are taking shots at LP, maybe not outright, but slyly.

Seems like an outright lie by Sean, but no surprise. I don't believe that at all.

I forgot this was still the Xero era. That's pretty cool, we don't have a lot of photos or anything from that time period.

I mean Kiiara was completely unknown before she worked with LP. Who knows. Could be just for a production idea or something, or maybe it wouldn't even be used in the end. Remember how many collabs LP has done that haven't been used? Not too worried about that. The bigger picture is LP is very secretive, for good reason, because that's how they do something. Artists like this shouldn't go out and spoil something if LP isn't ready to announce something. The fact it was removed is interesting. It went semi-viral in the fanbase so I guess someone said something to him about it. Then there is always the chance that it's just him working with Mike, like previous guests have said. Who knows. We will see, but it of course would not surprise me in the least if LP was working on music since they're at Mike's studio from time to time (from the little that we see) and it is January 2020, really far past the period when Mike was on tour constantly.

Wow that's great, nice zoom on it. I bet the video is excellent.

Why would they release a demo CD right now? That makes absolutely zero sense for this band to do.

Oh yeah we will likely never reach the level of the OML backlash again lol. That was wild. People HATED that album.

Is there even a known recording of that show? We don’t even have a 100% accurate setlist for that show. The encore is just based on LPU reviews. I pieced together what I could find. Astat and I sat down ages ago, like 2007-2008, and ran through that info and decided on the set that is currently up. It could be off by a song or something, I’m not sure.

Some of the vocals according to Sean are from alternate takes / demos of the songs from the 90s. Perhaps they used something like that in this song.

Why is the quality so bad? The production sound of it. Am I the only one that notices that? The vocals sound incredibly tinny and mixed low, the mix overall is pretty weak. What’s going on here?

This could be a pre-release song, who knows. I have no idea.

Grey Daze has posted on social media that they will be releasing 'What's In The Eye' from their still-untitled album that is being released April this year. Over the past two and a half years~, the band has reworked their songs with Chester, taking his original acapellas of the songs from the 1990s and forming new instrumentals, with guests. Check out the teaser here. Update (01/16): 'Sickness' will be released as the first official single from the album on February 5th. The first track, 'What's In The Eye', is out now and a CD single is available for pre-order on the band's official website here. Listen to the song below: During the premiere of the video, Sean took the time to answer a few questions from fans in the YouTube chat. Here's a summary: Grey Daze have no plans to release Wake Me and No Sun Today on digital stores or streaming services at the moment. They want to focus on releasing the new album. All of Chester's vocals on the album were recorded in the 90s but for some songs they used alternate takes no one has ever heard. What's In The Eye physical single will be available for pre-order tonight. Fans who pre-order it will receive a "surprise." Head and Munky from Korn are in the album. He can't confirm if the album will be called Amends. They have no intention of doing Grey Daze without Chester, so they aren't getting a new vocalist and no shows are planned. If they ever do a show, it will be just as a tribute to Chester. Chester was 20-21 when his vocals on this song were recorded, not 17.

I guess it’s just not worth me trying to get a quote from Mike, working with him etc to release something old. Meh. I tried.

The Metallica cover was for the LP encore, with MGK joining them. It was something MGK and Chester wanted to do, they came up with the idea is what it sounded like. I think SFN and Halfway Right were rehearsed for sure, I mean Mike debuted SFN *immediately* solo, and he thought they played Halfway Right at the Hollywood Bowl. Not sure if they'd have added them for the USA but definitely by Australia 2018. There weren't many more deep cuts they NEEDED to play, I mean the rotation of SIB, POA, FTI, APFMH is literally perfect as those are four of their best live tracks. We all love WTCFM but I don't see them playing that. I thought the OML sets in Europe were tremendous. For the USA I would expect them to keep it generally the same but of course with 2-3 tweaks like they usually do. The cover song, maybe debut another OML track, etc. Sharp Edges to open the encore I thought was a great move. Wow it has really been a long time since they played.

Man, those demos from that era must be really good. It Goes Through/Luna is a good song. LP was going to have a solid collection of music from that genre if they didn't make THP. And it sounds like a much more natural continuation of the sound after Living Things (which definitely had some experimental sounding stuff) instead of the hard turn to THP. Maybe they revisit that sound in the future... it suits Mike's singing capabilities for sure. We're lucky they can make music in so many genres which helps them continue in the future. It Goes Through and something like Promises I Can't Keep go together pretty well.

While we don't ever dive into the personal lives of the band, we thought it'd be interesting for fans to know that Mike has a new studio. He recently showed it off on Instagram, and you can see photos of it here. If you look closely, you can see one of Brad's guitars in there, which really is no surprise but cool nonetheless. This is likely a much-needed upgrade for Mike as he now has plenty of space for a full band to record in his studio. It also will make work easier for him moving forward in his production roles for other artists. Not bad!

I wonder if that saxophone was recorded when Mike was in the studio in Detroit on the Post Traumatic Tour.

I think his new home studio will really help him out in his future production roles. And if LP makes music there, it will make it much easier to record an entire album in Mike's studio. Or just record all the full songs and move to a bigger studio, if they wish.

Will try to get an update on this next week for everyone.
