20. All My Life (Time Capsule)

Oh! Makes sense. So we have everything from the second picture. If the last song on the first picture is really Dystopian Girl, that leaves us only two unknown titles: Do You Still Need Me and The Postman Is Always Right.

I see another word in the title. Maybe it's "All of My Life" instead? I could be wrong, though.

Yes, that's the correct title.

On July 20th last year we shared on our social platforms a rough edit we did of Dead By Sunrise performing 'Morning After' at the Club Tattoo 13th Anniversary Party on May 10, 2008. The video got some good reactions from our followers, so we decided to do something special for Chester's birthday this year: a multicam edit of the show using all available video recordings.

This was a very special show as it was the full band live debut of Dead By Sunrise. The short set consisting of 3 songs came right after the Julien-K concert at the event. Chester said the band wanted to give fans a little preview of what their album would sound like. This was the first time that 'Walking In Circles' and 'My Suffering' were performed live, both still in their demo forms. It was also the very first live performance of 'Morning After' by Dead By Sunrise, following Chester's performances of the song with Linkin Park and Bucket Of Weenies.

The video we're bringing you today consists of 3 different audience videos of 'Walking In Circles', 4 audience videos of 'Morning After' (as well as proshot clips), and, unfortunately, only 1 video for 'My Suffering'. We used the best audio available for each song.

As a bonus, we're also bringing you 3 songs from the Julien-K set: 'Death To Analog', 'Kick The Bass' and 'Maestro'. While the full show was recorded in video, the audio for the full show recording is completely distorted. Those 3 songs were all we could use as they were the only ones recorded by other tapers.

Enjoy!

"Out Of Ashes (15th Anniversary Edition)" is coming on April 20, 2024 for the Record Store Day. The new vinyl features the entire acoustic set from the Dead By Sunrise show at the Steve Wyrick Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 04, 2009. Tell all your friends.

Julien-K has launched a crowdfunding campaign for their upcoming album "DRK|MODE" at Indiegogo. On this new exciting project, the band challenged themselves to create a purely electronic dark industrial album without using any guitars. Show them some love and pre-order your copy now.

Came across those photos today. There are some titles I don't recognize and others that I can't read. I was wondering if anyone here has any information about those titles or would be able to fill in the gaps.

Illenium did a cool collab with Spiritbox

 

I love this band and this song.

Sick, I love Illenium and Last One To Know is one of my favs

Never this one.

EDM Shinoda is back on the menu! In a new interview to Billboard, American DJ and producer Nicholas Daniel Miller (professionally known as Illenium) revealed he has an upcoming collaboration with Mike Shinoda to be released as a single in 2024:

The five-hour Trilogy shows have also given Miller time to explore the direction he’ll pursue next. After his rock- and metal-focused 2023-self-titled album, which featured artists like Travis Barker and Avril Lavigne, the Trilogy sets inspired him to return to his electronic roots, and he’s working on “a lot” of new music. Collaborations with Tiësto (a Colorado neighbor Miller calls “the f–king man”), REZZ, Seven Lions, Mike Shinoda and others he’s not yet ready to name are forthcoming — not as an album, but as singles to be released throughout 2024.

It would be quite reckless of them to publish a live show screaming at the world that they're using samples without have paid for them previously.

It happens. There are plenty of artists who got sued for not paying for the samples used in their songs. Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Limp Bizkit, ...

A tour is possible if only and ONLY if they make a comeback. A comeback tour means there should be a comeback album to promote. Unfortunately, for a comeback album, it needs to be a universal album where the music, the lyrics, the production should be catchy and anthemic with MS doing the lead vocals. It needs that familiarity of CLASSIC LP sound but also a bit of experimentation here and there.

There are plenty of so called "legacy acts" who haven't released an album in over 10 years but still tour on a regular basis. You really only need to want to play shows, which Mike has stated that it's off the table for Linkin Park at the moment. The way things are going, it seems more likely for them to release new songs than to tour. Basically what Mike has been doing with his solo career, releasing random singles but playing no shows at all.

Samplers ?

Those too. Samplers, guitars, drums, bass, ... I'm sure they paid for all of their instruments instead of stealing them.

Did they actually do anything to Blackbirds that late in the process? I know Not Alone and Pretend to Be were started during the MTM sessions and finished post-MTM, but I always thought Blackbirds was finished during the MTM sessions and just wasn't released until much later.

Mike said "we basically finished specifically to this game." This was in an interview about 8-bit Rebellion. It seems that everytime an unreleased track finally gets released, the band always tweak something in it, just like they did with Friendly Fire and Lost.

Another example is what the press release of LPU 9 said about Across The Line: "In response to fan feedback, the band decided to finish the song and make it available as a highlight of LPU9." We know that there was a version with an extended intro and they removed it for release.

At this point I think Geki should just publish a book about Minutes To Midnight. His posts are always huge. Collect them all and that's the book.

Sorry For Now without Chipmunks s sounds so good check it out

 

I even replaced the album version w this one, I can't stand the original

Wow, the ending sounds huge. It's so good, I love that the pitch shifted vocals don't bury the guitars. However, I have to admit that the beginning sounds pretty empty. It needs something else in there to replace the missing sounds.

This might sound dumb, but I have to ask, what makes a song a demo? I mean, I've never thought of Qwerty as a demo, but a B-Side, that's why I'm very intrigued by your comment. What would be the difference compared to a song like Across the Line, which I also consider a complete track. 

6 hours ago, YRQRM0 said:

It depends how far the song got. Across The Line got a final mix, meaning that the band was done with it arrangement-wise and were strongly considering it to be on MTM til the last second when they started cutting. If the personnel doing the final mixes get their hands on it, we can consider it pretty "final" and no longer a demo. Lost (2003 mix) is not a demo for that same reason. 

 

QWERTY is a demo because they never passed it on to the mixing/mastering phase, and probably didn't even touch it for the final weeks/months they were finishing the other tracks because they had already decided it didn't make the cut. So unless the band picked it back up, did more work on it and mixed it intending to release it as a "real" track at some point and we never heard about it, it only exists in demo form. 

 

But yeah ultimately it's subjective, you might consider "demo" to refer to something even rougher than QWERTY and that's fine. But that's how LPLStaff was using the term.

You don't always need specialized personnel to work on mixing a song for it to be considered a finished product. We have finished songs that were simply mixed by Mike, who is the same person who mixes all of the band's demos (QWERTY was mixed by Ethan Mates by the way). We also have songs labeled as demos that were mixed by the same person who mixed the album it originated from, meaning it got to the final stages.

The thing is that for any band, a demo is whatever the band says is a demo. If they feel it's not finished, it's not finished, regardless of who worked on it or what was done to it. Do I agree with everything Linkin Park labels a "demo"? No. Does it matter what we think about those "demos"? Not to them.

Heavy would have been better without Kiiara (with all the due respect) 

Sometimes I forget that Heavy exists. Friendly Fire is better for sure. I agree that a version of Heavy without Kiiara could be more interesting than the album version.

My issue is not the high pitched vocals, I like the song but i just can't imagine, now that we heard it, how can you leave out of the tracklist Friendly Fire and opt for SFN. FF is just too good for me 

I think Friendly Fire is just ok. Not awful, but nothing great. I can totally see why they would exclude it from an album, but there is indeed some pretty bad songs on One More Light. I'd say Friendly Fire is at least better than Halfway Right and Good Goodbye. Maybe Invisible too.

I think the high pitched vocal samples during the chorus is the single most obnoxious thing I've heard this band do. I almost skipped the track during my first listen. 

I listened to the entire discography yesterday and I had completely forgotten how annoying those vocals were, especially when you're playing the song loud. I also felt like skipping it when they started. I think the song is really good, Mike, blackbear and that other guy did great with it, but would be even better without those samples.

About Friendly Fire :  after a couple more listens,  I appreciate the track a bit more, but it is definitely nothing spectacular IMO. 

 

One thing that bugs me is how the instrumental gets no space to breath. From second 1, Chester is singing over a nice but forgettable sonic background. Everything feels compressed into the typical mid-tempo verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus structure. Take the same melodic idea, the same guitar layers, the same synths, but play a bit more with the dynamics,  add some short but sweet instrumental parts, experiment a bit more, and I'd like the song a lot more.

 

Nothing against the "verse/chorus" thing in itself. But if you go for it, I feel the song need to have other highlights to really shine, and I don't see those highlights here.

These were basically my thoughts about Heavy when it came out. They talked a lot about doing vocals first and paying a lot of attentrion to vocals while creating the album and you can really tell this was the only thing they were concerned about in those two songs. They're just vocal after vocal without anything in between. Friendly Fire even starts with the "vocals and very light instrumentation" format that the band said was the early stages of the songs on One More Light. Heavy has a great build up during its bridge that I thought would lead to something amazing, but it just ends abruptly and goes back to the chorus. They really grew a lot as instrumentists during The Hunting Party, so I expected the instrumentals to be a little more elaborate on the follow up. Not another heavy album, but at least something that showed they put a little more effort in the instrumentals than what we ultimately got.

Here's what Mark Fiore said during the YouTube chat in case anyone missed it:

some great footage o Chester in this video. it will make you feel happy

 

hardest part about the video was making it worthy of the song

 

guys the song is so good.

 

you are gonna be so happy to have a another new LP song

 

this TOP 5 for sure

 

I remember connecting deeply with this song while filming the band in the studio years ago, so it was really special for me when I got asked to create this video."

"this is what MS said to me about the song.... "The song is about looking into the distant past with a loved one, and realizing that sometimes best intentions can still cause hurt."

 

youtube won't play the video unless there are 100K people in the waiting room

 

so start telling your friends

 

want me to make music videos for all the THP songs?

 

“Friendly Fire” is an amazing song! I am really happy with the way the video turned out and I hope the video does this song justice… thanks everyone for being here for the premiere… Enjoy!

I found it weird that the Austrian THP DVD included a set from 2012

Live In Monterrey came out with The Hunting Party in June 2014. They hadn't done any real touring for the album yet besides a few festivals in Europe that same month. There wasn't time to prepare a show from 2014 for release.

What about Machine Shop Recordings? is that still a thing? Or the Fort Minor, Inc.?

Machine Shop as a record label died a long time ago. Warner wasn't interested in investing in the artists being signed. It's just Linkin Park's management company now.

the omission of any THP tracks feels crazy to me. You're marketing a singles collection that omits an entire album, lol. I know that you've got a hard limit on the runtime to keep it to one CD, but it feels kind of like an egregious exclusion. If it were me, I would dump Castle of Glass in a second for Guilty All the Same.

I still can't believe they included two versions of Numb. They could have picked any of the big platinum singles they left out or a The Hunting Party single instead of Numb/Encore.

But that's an ugly-ass graphic design work.

It screams "I have a nephew who knows Photoshop and can do it cheaper."

I'm still grateful that we're getting new content. Though, I sort of understand why they decided to go with the low effort graphic designs and all. It could be that they had nothing to represent these singles and whatnot. Still, the designs we've seen so far are just, a bit of a let down really. Doesn't seem like they or the label, anyone really, want to celebrate all these gems throughout the years..

I agree. It looks really low effort, like they don't care about this project at all and they just see it as a quick and easy way to make some money with the Linkin Park brand.

Still cool to get new music though.
