    Skylar Grey's "Numb" (Linkin Park Cover) Coming On May 10th

    in Newswire

    Posted

    For those familiar with Fort Minor's 2005 album The Rising Tied, you might know Skylar Grey as Holly Brook, the singer who was signed to Linkin Park's Machine Shop Recordings and recorded vocals for the Fort Minor songs 'Where'd You Go' and 'Be Somebody.'

     

    Last year she revisited what she called her first hit by recording a lo-fi version of 'Where'd You Go' in collaboration with lonelyboy for the deluxe edition of his "lofi chill vibes with skylar grey" album. Listen below:

     

     

    Now she has started teasing another Linkin Park-related project. This time, it's a cover of 'Numb,' one of the band's most successful singles. The track was recorded in collaboration with producer Tommee Profitt and it's coming on May 10th.

    The Cambridge dictionary defines impostor as:

    Quote

    a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others

     

    Their definition of deception is:

    Quote

    the act of hiding the truth, especially to get an advantage

     

    The Merriam-Webster defines it as:

    Quote

    one that assumes false identity or title for the purpose of deception

     

    For them, deception is:

    Quote

    the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid

     

    Now let's take a look at what Hybrid Theory and other cover bands are doing:

    they advertise VERY clearly they are a tribute/cover band. They never say they ARE Linkin Park or their members, they never try to convince you they are. It’s an act, and every single person that walks into that concert hall knows that.

     

    Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I hope you have learned something today.

    Does this stuff happen for other bands too? I swear Linkin Park is the only band I closely follow that has these kinds of mistakes continually pop up.

    I remember @Astat saying that Avenged Sevenfold had something similar to the Shadow Of The Day situation happen to one of their songs on Rock Band or a similar game. One of the guitar tracks simply disappeared from the song's project.

     

    Stone Temple Pilots had a previously unreleased extended version of Press Play randomly pop up on a vinyl re-issue of Tiny Music. The company who did the vinyl said that was the version in the master that they received.

     

    Julien-K released an instrumental version of Death To Analog and later realized that the instrumental version of Dystopian Girl was never mixed, so they had to mix the instrumental from scratch to replace it.

     

    The Mer de Noms vinyl by A Perfect Circle had extended versions of Sleeping Beauty and Over when compared to the ones in the CD.

     

    Thirty Seconds To Mars had different versions of One Track Mind released on America. Some fans randomly received the album with a shortened version of the song without A$AP Rocky's vocals.

     

    The We Made It single by Busta Rhymes with Linkin Park (technically not a Warner release) had a dirty acapella version released in Europe mislabeled as clean version. The dirty acapella wasn't meant to be released anywhere.

     

    That's the ones I can think from the top of my head. I'm sure there are other examples.

    Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000-2023) Manufacturing Errors

    in Newswire

    Posted

    While the digital edition of Papercuts contains album versions of the songs, we've been seeing reports (like in this Reddit thread) from fans all over the world about their physical editions (CD and vinyl) having different versions of the songs. It appears some countries got the album versions while others got the single versions.

     

    We ask your help to get to the bottom of this. If you purchased a physical edition of the compilation, let us know which edition you have, where it was manufactured and which version of the songs (album or single) is included in it.

     

    We've also heard about the center of the vinyls having the wrong lengths for a few songs. If you have noticed any other manufacturing errors in any edition of the compilation, let us know about it.

    Warner is not beating the cash grab allegations by having the album versions with phantom transitions all over this compilation, lol.

    That’s just as goofy IMO. Like, sure, you don’t need to put too much work into a singles compilation, but what is the idea behind using the album versions when they won’t be cohesive? Compilations like this used to at least be cohesive to themselves, whether by using the single versions or new mixes that cut out the transitions. Is this some sort of Spotify backend thing where they need to be the album versions for tracking streams or something like that?

    Agreed. That's pretty shitty and gives them impression of their team putting the lowest effort possible on this compilation. The album transitions completely ruin the listening experience. The only thing they did right was QWERTY, which seems to be newly edited.

    "QWERTY" Release & YouTube Afterparty - April 12

    I never realized people didn't know that QWERTY was a working title. I remember when the song was debuted we were waiting for an official release to see what the final title would be and when LPU 6 came out, people were saying the studio version was "obviously a demo" and that the final version would sound different and have a different title. Before the Minutes To Midnight tracklist was announced, some sites had "Behind Your Lies" or "Lies" listed as one of the potential songs on the album because that's what they thought the final title of QWERTY would be.

    Here's name of female artits who have associations with the band and the percentage chances that one of them will join the boys. It's clearly just a game, like old times. Let me know what you think and if you have any other names in mind!

    How are Amy Lee, Lacey Sturm, Courtney LaPlante and Halsey associated with the band? Gonna add Alissa White-Gluz to the list just for the hell of it. Also, the girl from Pvris is called Lynn Gunn

    If this is a real move I think someone like Courtney from Spiritbox or Lacey from Flyleaf could be a good fit but too much closer to Chester' style. 

     

    After Chester's passing a new chapter/era maybe is needed, moving from that style despite all the things we'll lose (heavier songs if she can't scream) 

    How exactly are they too close to Chester's style? Is it just because they are both good vocalists who can sing beautifully and scream? The music they make sounds nothing like anything Linkin Park has done and their vocal styles sound nothing like Chester's.

     

    Linkin Park has always been a "we need to play all of our singles" kind of band. They need someone who is versatile in order to perform their greatest hits live and in order to keep experimenting with new genres like they have always done. It wouldn't be Linkin Park anymore if they just stick to playing super generic music that anyone in the world can perform.

    "We are pleased to announce that we have reached an amicable resolution with bass guitarist Kyle Christner," said a spokesperson for Linkin Park. "Kyle is a very talented musician who made valuable contributions to Linkin Park at a pivotal time in 1999. He performed with the band in several shows and many record label showcases. Kyle helped write and performed on many songs from that era, including some of the songs on the Hybrid Theory EP."

    Friendly Fire: A Capella + Instrumental

    The instrumentals + acappelas are a really weird situation with LP... they released the ones from the least popular albums and the ones that people needed remain unreleased.

     

    specially the ones from HT and Meteora were the most needed... back then there was a huge remix community that needed those albums so bad.

    Yeah it’s so weird that we got THP and LT instrumentals and acapellas on streaming services and no HT M and MTM which are the most successful albums by them. Like, we don’t have ITE or Numb instrumentals but we have War and UIB. So weird

    I wouldn’t say we’re devolving, we’re really just sharing what we think about the release. I wouldn’t complain personally but I’d like it if more songs had these, so we don’t have to rip the tracks with flawed AI that we pay for.

    Instrumental versions of every album are out there. Even full multitracks for a lot of album songs. You don't need to use AI to get them and you don't need to wait for an official release. Unless you're talking about demos and b-sides. If that's the case, it would be unrealistic expecting the band to release instrumentals and acapellas for those. Friendly Fire got them because it's a single.
