I totally understand the PT shows, but I do NOT understand the FM shows of 2015 not being released.

I've heard enough awful mixing songs and albums through the years, especially 'remastered' old songs, I don't recall anything too distracting from their catalogue that I noticed so far. Unless you have some type of legit knowledge or 'ear training' and you're very good at it, there's no other way.

It's 2023 and people (I hope it's pure ignorance and not malice) are still not aware that Rob has always been a quiet guy that prefers to be in the ocean surfing than with others for the most part. Chester going away definitely affected him a lot but overall, he barely has changed.

Still hate how Mike justifies those small shows not being released with something like "Hey those shows were special because of the intimacy between me and the fans, so releasing a live album would be odd". 😑 Same, as @martinez pointed out, I don't think I could still tell the difference if Manny or a different mixer would've done a new mix with the album, like how many 'experts' around here said Meteora and many other LP albums were mixed 'horribly', I'm honestly clueless.

Not a huge fan but this album overall is still better than most of the collab songs he has done since 2020-2021. Someone already said it but I confirm it too 100%: Mike shot a mv for that song way back but the raw footage was stolen/lost during a trip, so hence why he made one again.

I personally felt like Meteora sounded slightly louder compared to previous releases, might be just me idk.

This (first time I recall them using the black box design was for the ATS deluxe boxset in 2010, wasn't changed until for the newer release, crazy). Except the part of NO protective sleeves for the vinyls and having some (hopefulIy) only superficial scratches. Warner can't do things right huh?

Very excited to get the stems soon, I wish they added more M20 tracks though.

Like I said on my other comment here, easily should've been over 20 demos in total, just be extremely kind and generous to the fans and give it all. But still, I really, really like what we've got.

Why there was no BTS footage for the Faint and Breaking the Habit music videos on the Work In Progress documentary? Mike, do you still have in possesion the Hello Kitty Stratocaster?

Got mine today early in the morning, just went out and bought it on a physical music store. Haven't seen the DVD's so I can only say about the music, and so far: I'm so glad we've got so many Meteora vocal demos, gosh, my inner child from almost 20 years ago, the presentation is a huge upgrade from the outdated black boxes of HT20 and even ATS, love it so much. If I had maybe a few extremely small complains I could say I wouldn't mind having a lot more demos, why not? Fill up the list up to 20, at most. Also, the 2002 Andy Wallace mix didn't feel like a Meteora song to me, for whatever reason. I think I might enjoy the newer mix, strange, massive respect to Andy's legendary career but that one sounded a bit off.

Uh, did you ever listened to any of their demos between 1996-1999? The experimentation part was there since day one, not since Meteora or even ATS.

Nevermind LMAO I just did something kinda stupid, I think. I accidentally used both codes, the one I got as an old member, and the other from the deluxe box set.

Tried that but as I was sending the email it got rejected, I typed the name correctly, very odd.

Not natural upgrading like how they did with the music videos then? Shame.

Having issues with not being able to use the code I got from the email. Any help please?

Lost/Fighting Myself did likely include Rob's studio drums because they sounded way more organic. Out of topic (kinda) but I also realized that for whatever reason whoever was in charge of it, they edited some fake awful sounding drums (at least if it's a demo it's totally understandable, this is just ridiculous) over the real ones for the Projekt Revolution 2002 DVD show, it's so noticeable to the point that when it came out and I watched the DVD I immeditaly noticed how bad it sounded, it gets even worse when there's already some previously released footage of those same shows, even if it was one song, the drums clearly sound completely different and way better, what the heck happened there? Anyway, got sidelined, just wanted to explain it again, because when I said this at the time some people told me I was wrong lol

It's Mike's drum machine, doesn't sound like Rob's live drums, maybe a mix of both? Regardless, sounds very, very good, I'm just glad to finally have so many more Meteora demos with vocals on them.

Yeah I really, really hope they upgrade LIT too. Also at some fans saying the original looked better and some even saying it's an AI upscale lol kids aren't aware that pretty much everything at one point before 2002-2003 was shot on film.

Really digging the 2 new Scream tracks, a lot better than pretty much any Mike produced song in the past 2-3 years.

In-fucking-sane. Regardless of what anyone still thinks about Jay-Z's involvement with them (still think it was very fun and some take things way too seriously), this is amazing news, never gets old to receive never heard before info from really old shows like that. Thank you so much to the anonymous person who shared this with us.

Exactly. Again, I 200% understand not everyone being comfortable talking about certain topics (I consider myself pretty open but it really depends on the situation) so I was totally on board with the interview since the beginning knowing Mike is a really smart dude.

Remebering hearing the instrumental version of Lost on those LPTV's for years and then finally hear it with lyrics was such a fun moment, but I definitely forgot Fighting Myself was already shown there, awesome stuff. Also, I can absolutely see Shifter (From the Inside) being that one or at least close to it that will be released on M20 (either that or the 2001 Ozzfest tour bus early demo).

This. Even if I'm not big on him I've been aware of his show for a long time and I appreciate interviews like this once in a while over "Look, there's an obvious conspiracy for X, can you not see it?" type of absolute disgusting disrespectful bullshit clickbaity article/comment.

Give me experimental (1997-1999 demos/songs or ATS) over easy predictable formulas, but if I hear a good easy predictable song, I'd be straight forward about it.
