I think Warner got the rights to the Hybrid Theory EP (and maybe other songs that didn't make it on Hybrid Theory, like She Couldn't) the moment they singed Linkin Park. You guys are forgetting (versions of) songs like Carousel, And One and Part Of Me were found on Warmer Bros. Records demo CDs. Step Up was also released in the In The End single and High Voltage (although a remix) in the One Step Closer single. That leaves only Technique out, but then there was the Hybrid Theory EP reissue in 2001 and the songs have been on the LPU store for years. As for the Xero demo, Rhinestone is Forgotten, Reading My Eyes was registered for release on LPU 6.0 and Stick N Move on LPU 9.0. The only song Warner might not own is Fuse. I'm not sure what kind of contract the band has with the label, but it seems to me a label doesn't really need a band's approval to use their music. Just look at the "greatest hits" releases by Avenged Sevenfold (Warner) and Papa Roach (Geffen). The bands didn't support those albums at all. The Papa Roach one even had an unreleased track. So I think they can release whatever they want as long as it is in their archives.

On a side note, this is my new favorite Linkin Park album.

Looks like a copy/paste from this link:

I think that was a mistake by some fan site. Like when people said Chester recorded a song with The Visionaries but it was actually Mike and Joe. Ryu confirmed he recorded a verse for The Crystal Method remix of POA, but for some reason his verse was removed from the released version.

And keep in mind the show in the DVD is only 57 minutes long while every full recordings we have from that tour is around 1 hour and 10 minutes long: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7VoPWKqmzfNwnkB5mCasXnPQ-osiSVdk

I just wanna put it out there that the Zomba sampler version is the one I used to get the length of Rhinestone before the 20th anniversary release was announced. The audio was recognized from part of that version. So it's very likely that's the version on Forgotten Demos. Would also explain why Mike didn't want it online when we found out about the Zomba sampler.

No artwork. Only said "recorded in 1998."

That file on the site doesn't really exist. It was put in the site for the sole purpose of informing us Be Yourself is actually Pictureboard.

Ok, I agree there's no confirmation he actually plays in the track. But then, who did? Removed that part anyway.

R.I.P.

No, we don't. This would be great to have.

There's nothing to listen at the moment. The site is just a marketing campaign to get fans excited for what's to come. We'll have to wait until October for the anniversary release.

It's their manager.

No. The user stays the same: "Admin"

Chester's audition tape.

Reveals the 4 music files ("corrupted" as well) and the band pictures.

These two were the only known songs, but it could have had more songs. We never got confirmation on how many songs were in the audition tape.

Is this a screenshot from the video? The video was the intro to the band's website in 2000. It isn't new.

I didn't check the code, but I think things might happen in the order of the steps in the "readme.txt": Day 1 - Server Day 2 - Mail Day 3 - Password The Defragger isn't doing anything at the moment as far as I can tell. It was supposed to work on Day 1, right? Maybe we're not on Day 1 yet?

There's an interview from the Minutes To Midnight era where Chester says Jeff Blue just gave in to the pressure of the label.

It was. The entire show. lol

We got the date from Marc Ostrick. He was the creator of Lockout and still has the original tapes. We also interviewed him for linkinpark:br once. All the information we have about Lockout came from him: http://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=Lockout The studio's website is linked on this Linkinpedia page. We also have a business card for the person who managed the studio at the time. It was called "Hollywood Rehearsal Studios" in the card.

Checked Linkinpedia and turns out we do know. It was registered on August 3, 1999. That's interesting. November 1999 is when the band reportedly started working with Warner. Yeah, I'm aware of that. Still doesn't change the fact they were performing this version in February 2000. If I had to guess, I'd say the 9-track demo version was just a collection of old demos Jeff Blue had lying around instead of a collection of the most recent versions of those songs. Maybe it was recorded prior to the 2-track CD. So: LPU 11 -> 9-track -> 2-track -> website -> studio finals

Yeah, just promo stuff. The demo versions came from sampler CDs and Advanced CDs used to promote the album before it was finished. Then you have the offical album version, and all the single versions / radio edits came from it. They are created and released for radio airplay in different countries. The music video version might be a case of editing the song to fit the video instead of editing the video to fit the song. Just a choice they made.
