    Mike hoping to throw a "big party" for 'Hybrid Theory' 20th anniversary

    It's a shame, because a decade from now ATS20 will be overshadowed by HT30 and so on lol.

     

    No I don’t think that will be the case. They’ve never done any sort of release for any anniversary. If HT has a release for HT20, then that sets the standards for all of the 20 year celebrations. Meteora 20 will be next, then MTM 20, then ATS 20, etc. 

     

    Whatever LP does for HT20 is going to be the move going forward. They’ve never had a blow out celebration for something for 10 years. ATS won’t get much of anything this year, maybe just a shirt and a tweet. It’s the Hybrid Theory year. ATS will get its turn and it’ll be epic. Every album will have their own big bash whenever they get to 20, is my guess. HT 30, for example, won’t be anything but a tweet and shirt lol. 20 is where it’s at.

    Linkin Park Trending on Twitter

    Linkin Park is once again trending on Twitter, but this time for something else.

     

    American President Trump used a clip of an “In the End” cover in a social media video. 

     

    The band responded by taking the video down from his tweet and issued a statement saying, “Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump, nor authorize his organization to use any of our music. A cease and desist has been issued.”

     

    Both Joe and Mike posted about the situation on their Instagram feed and story, respectively.

    How the fuck is Mike mixing the HT20? Or just listening to those new mixes?

     

    What exactly is that a comment in regards to? Did you see somewhere that he is mixing stuff? 

     

    He very well could mix something for it. However what is more likely is that he edits the demos to how he likes them and how he wants them presented/released. Plenty of LPU demos are edited by Mike before release. Just how it goes.

    No chance Mike mentions LP is making music on these streams. 

     

    Have you seen the rock press after what Phoenix said? Mike is going to keep quiet and deny stuff until it happens. He literally hates the press taking something he says and running with it like they did with Friendly Fire. 

    Grey Daze - "Amends" out April 10

    in Newswire

    Posted

    They said a few times that they kept a few of their best tracks held back from Amends in order to put them on the second album. They are going to for sure do a second one but they mentioned they have enough for a third album.

     

    This pop-style remix of Hole I thought was pretty good/cool, so maybe that will be on their second album. One advantage they have in remixing these songs is Chester's voice works with a LOT of different genres of music and he has sung in so many genres over time that no genre/style they try for a remix will come as a surprise for fans. I mean, Chester sang Cross Off, Heavy, Pushing Me Away (Piano), We Made It, Slow Ya Roll, covered all the iconic rock songs, etc... he can do it all.

     

     

     

    Mike Shinoda's New Album - "Dropped Frames, Vol. 1"

    in Newswire

    Posted

    Look at LP’s top 20 songs. I wouldn’t call it rare. What’s the % of their great songs vs not great songs? Surely it’s still a good percentage even with THP and OML existing. The first 4 albums have literally almost no bad songs, less than 5 total combined. And that + New Divide are going to more than make up for later album duds. Just my take on it.

     

    Unless you were talking about Mike solo. Then you’re right I guess but FM had some bangers. 

     

    I agree that he’s saving his best stuff + his recent songs with vocals for the LP demos they’re doing.  

    Top 5 Worst Decisions In LP's career

    These are mine. 

     

    1. Cancelling DSPs. In the middle of the touring cycle no less. Would’ve been sick to have DSPs from 2013. The band was on fire. 2013 is the only LP year we don’t have any official release at all from.

    2. Not playing more shows in 2013, the band had a Europe arena tour booked but fell through for some reason. 

    3. Not visiting Australia since 2013, while Germany got 50 million shows in 2014-2015. 

    4. Not making up the 2015 US tour where Chester broke his ankle. 

    5. Live in Texas, while a great live album, sounds too overproduced and shouldn’t have been from two separate shows, I wish they would’ve released Reading 2003 as a live album instead. Much better show + crowd with the same setlist as Summer Sanitarium. 

     

    The Live in Texas filming being two shows undoubtedly came from them wanting to film two in case the band messed something up, but also to get the best takes they could from the shows. I think the audio's end result is pretty great. Unfortunately for us, they started production on it right away after the shows as the release was only a few months later. So they had no idea, at that time that they were working on Live in Texas, that the Reading show would be that iconic and epic. I would like to see the Reading show one day for sure, or at least an audio release.

     

    These are a good 1-4, I like those. It's a shame it took 7+ years for us to figure out why the DSPs really got canceled - it was an insane amount of work on an already hard touring/travel schedule for the crew. I would have easily proposed one DSP a tour of just one show, or a "best of" of the tour.... we might still have the program going to this day if that had happened. They could have been transparent with us and we could have offered better ideas.

    Great reply.

     

    There's a PT interview where the guy is totally rude to Mike and the LP team cuts the interview off, or tries to. He asked something about LP I think on the PT tour.

     

    Since at least Meteora they have a person on their tour whose job it is to handle all of the press stuff, so they sit in the room and will cut the person off if they ask insensitive/wrong/improper questions so the band members don't get trapped. The woman who has been doing it for LP and MS is really, really nice and good at this.

    Grey Daze's "Shouting Out" Special

    This is the only project LP-related where I notice something awry in almost every single press piece about it. It's been that way all six months of 2020 so far.

    "The remaining band members – Dowdell, Mace Beyers (bass) and Cristin Davis (guitar)"

     

    Didn't Cristin JUST come into Grey Daze only for this project? Jason Barnes was the guitarist in the band when Chester passed away, and was the one doing this remix album.

     

    "Grey Daze is where he developed his skills, his styles, his technique."

    Ehhhhhh.....

    I think it came down to the band's vote of In Between vs NRL for some reason. Rick and Chester were the only ones who voted YES to every song on MTM.

     

    It still just doesn't make sense to me, but somehow along the way, the band voted NRL out.

    Thanks god OML wasnt his last work, would be disrespectul for my idol, this songs shows that he wasted his talent w LP in so many ways.

     

    Whether you like OML or not, that's just an insane comment. How would it be disrespectful to Chester when he was the one defending the genre in the press to everyone?

    I wouldn't say it was a failure by LP when it was the label (WBR) that wouldn't put the adequate marketing and money into it to get these projects released. The talent was there, which means Mike and Brad did a great job with finding the artists.
