Mike just cut the intro off of it, the song was done. Songs finished near their release would be like Pretend To Be and Not Alone.

Yep that one. I forgot where it was, maybe Toronto? Surely it can be found, it's on YouTube somewhere.

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.

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. http://www.sidestagemagazine.com/dave-navarro-hosts-grey-daze-roundtable-with-members-of-korn-helmet-via-inked-magazine    　 / "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.

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.

I agree especially since he did Rakim's verse for every GATS performance. And yeah he did Ryu's verse here.

Isn't that literally exactly how Mike played Remember the Name live? He could do Believe Me and mash it up with something else. He also rapped Ryu's verse in 2015 on it, right?

Open Door + CoronaJams release

Last night they aired a 10+ minute interview with Brad and Mike about THP, Chester's broken ankle, etc. Let's see if they have anything today content-wise from LP.

http://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=What_Are_You_Worth http://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=List_Of_Unreleased_Songs#Ricochet Different song, same producer, has not leaked.

Definitely more than 2 songs.

Yeah, agreed now after a lot of perspective and opinions dropped in this thread, that it isn't Chester. I could see them releasing some OML stuff one day, like Friendly Fire. I would assume WAYW/Ricochet won't get released because now Mike (and undoubtedly the band's mgmt, and now Warner too) are most likely LIVID at Brian. Not only did he register these songs prematurely himself on BMI, he leaked WAYW and Mike over a year later is still pissed. So they may not ever release those two. They likely have MUCH better material from that era. Friendly Fire, Out Of Reach, Lost My Horizon, Tidal Wave etc are probably better/more complete. Friendly Fire and Tidal Wave are with Jon Green and he has two songs that are pretty good with LP already... Mike loves Friendly Fire... so I bet both of those unreleased ones are actually great tracks.

Agreed. "Thoughts That Take Away My Pride" (which probably has a real name to it, but that's what we call it, from the Meteora era) is number one. Friendly Fire number 2. That is, if they release Pictureboard. We have no idea if they will even release it or not. But a full Meteora b-side with vocals is extremely rare, we have nothing like that from that era. WAYW/Ricochet were done so early in the OML process that they are essentially demos and not completed songs. They didn't progress very far. Friendly Fire and Out Of Reach are on the song board near the END of the album process so those are closer to being done. The band obviously voted to have 10 songs instead of 12... they picked the 10 best ones they felt they had. Mike said they even disagreed with him and didn't want Place to Start (under another name) to open the album before Nobody Can Save Me. I agree OML is too short but it's just what they wanted. Maybe they released a deluxe edition one day with more songs. He told a made up story. It wasn't real.

Since it's 2020, is there a way that anyone knows of where I can pay $ to get a WOWOW stream here in the USA somehow? Or get it on my TV? Surely there's some possibility to do this. I'm looking forward to this stream because we don't have some of these songs that even already aired. I hope they show Castle of Glass, but if they show whatever has already aired, at least we will get an upgrade because we are 1) missing songs, and 2) in a spot where we don't have all of the stuff as one source.

Mike said ages ago, Iike a decade, Machine Shop was not going to continue signing artists. Because they couldn’t agree with WBR on releasing stuff etc. Mike absolutely deserves some credit for Skylar. Not all, but some. Alex too. Everyone knew the girl because WYG exploded globally. She changed her name and Alex had known her from WYG, and helped her launch it. Her music now is absolutely abysmal but she is successful at least.

He just answered. Useless answer lol he said it was one of his favorites and he thinks it leaked online at some point.

The questions are all caught up, so ask away. Literally the questions he answered today were actually from today.

Yes, and Ricochet. He leaked it is what it sounds like.

Out Of Ashes is incredibly overproduced, you are right. This is not as overproduced as that, but it's close. Howard Benson really did Chester a disservice. However, Ryan Shuck did say that the album was a lot heavier before they turned it in and were forced to change it, so maybe the label was an issue too. Some of the stuff like the Let Down outro is just horrible though.

Well said. The mix is tremendous. I'd be down with some of the bass being more audible. Listen to the studio finals and compare them to the final version. It's night and day, Andy Wallace hit a grand slam on this album. The songs sound HUGE.

China gets so butthurt about everything. Literally can't handle the stuff with Zoom and Tienanmen Square, they lost their minds at the LP Dalai Lama 2011 stuff and banned LP, etc. No wonder Mike is afraid to speak out against China - he wants to play the shows there for the huge fanbase and it isn't the fans fault that the government is so insane. All of these stories were good. I liked the Xero one a lot. Brad is in the It's Goin' Down video.... so I wonder why he didn't play guitar in the video. Prove You Wrong is your least favorite song in the WHOLE catalogue? What about Lies Greed Misery, Hit The Floor, Until It's Gone, etc? Pretty bad tracks.

Please don't use LPLive to try and spread misinformation like this. We all know there is no way this is accurate at all and you're trying to pass off an already released show as something unheard.

And what side of the forum is that? The trash bin where we send drafts of our news posts? Lmao
