    Introducing the LPLive Archive

    in Newswire

    Posted

    Originally created as a live guide, so that traders and collectors of live material would have an accurate source of information about the performance history Linkin Park and their side projects (Fort Minor, Dead By Sunrise, Stone Temple Pilots, Julien-K, and more), LPLive has expanded over the years to cover the news for the band and to incorporate its own community with over 7,000 members.

     

    It was in June 2008 the site was upgraded to its 3.0 format with the addition of community forums for the first time. Since then, registered users have shared hundreds of live recordings in our Downloads/Requests & Media forum. Not to mention the hard work our staff have put into bringing exclusive live recordings to the community over the years.

     

    The problem many new (and old) members are faced with is that virtual drives are closed and download links expire. In order to remedy that situation, we've decided to create a live audio archive of our own, the LPLive Archive, assembling all those recordings shared within the community as well as a few extras.

     

    All shows are hosted on MEGA and, along with the download links, you will find the original topic where each recording was shared. Keep in mind you won't find any officially released live recording in that page. Due to storage limitations we chose to provide shows only in the highest quality available, meaning there will be a lot of shows you won't find in mp3 format. We ask you kindly not to request mp3 versions of those shows in this thread. Any discussions or requests regarding an specific show should be done in the topic where it was originally shared (do not create new threads for those). We will always try to upload new audio recordings to our YouTube channel for those who don't want to download any files in order to listen to the shows.

     

    It's important to note that, with that many shows coming from so many different sources, it would be impossible (or at least very time consuming) for us to keep consistency in the tags. Some files might not be properly tagged (or not have tags at all). You might also find a few recordings that are not split into tracks. The one thing we did make sure is that every source we uploaded is complete and not corrupted. However, there's always the chance we overlooked something. We ask you to notify us immediately if you find any problem on any show.

     

    Visit the archive here:

    http://lplive.net/lplivearchive/

     

    Make sure to also visit our Removing Bad Sources From Circulation thread which has been updated with new links.

     

    Below you will find a list of useful tools for audio collectors (all free):
    - Pazera Free Audio Extractor: to extract audio tracks from videos without quality loss or to convert audio files.
    - Trader's Little Helper: to create or verify checksum files, encode wav files or re-encode flac files.
    - FLAC Frontend: to test any flac file without having a checksum.
    - Mp3splt: to split mp3 or flac files into tracks or use cue files to do so.
    - Mp3tag: to edit tags of your audio files. Works with any format.
    - Audacity: to record or edit audio.

     

    In the archive there is a "Discuss" link that links back to this topic. If you find it, send a message to the LPLStaff with the title "LPLive Archive" and, in the content of the message, with which show it is associated (do not post the answer here!). We will send you a small gift in return.

     

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Review: "Cross Off" - Mark Morton featuring Chester

    in Newswire

    Posted

    While I really like The Hunting Party and really appreciate what Mike tried to do there, I did expect a lot more from that album based on their commentaries before the album came out. I agree it wasn't that heavy and the thing that got me excited about Cross Off is that I finally got to hear Chester doing the kind of music I was hoping from The Hunting Party (or a follow up album). In terms of technique, the band had evolved a lot while recording The Hunting Party and I felt like One More Light was such a disappointment because I hoped the band would try to push themselves further. Anyway, back to The Hunting Party, like Geki said, Rob and Brad aren't metal musicians, they would never be able to handle a song like Cross Off (hell, they got hurt while playing The Hunting Party songs live) and Mike is the kind of guy who thinks every album needs a ballad every few songs and every song needs a slow part. Just read that interview where he is listening to Reign In Blood by Slayer and you'll see what I'm talking about. I guess it isn't even a fair comparison because the guys playing Cross Off (from Trivium and Lamb Of God) spent their entire careers playing this kind of music, so it's no wonder they delivered such a good product.

    Technical Difficulties?

    In one of the live streams about the Time Capsule, Ryan said something about Chester teaching him how to sing, how Chester's vocals were still in the background on Shaking, then said the final version of Technical Difficulties wouldn't be as good without "Chester doing his thing." I've heard about some interviews where they flat out confirmed Chester is in the song but couldn't really find any. Still, the video I mentioned is enough confirmation for me. It's listed as a reference on Linkinpedia if anyone is interested in watching.

    I think Chester's lack of involment with One More Light also had to do with this:

    While working on the album, Chester went through depression and alcoholic problems, one of his close friends died and his stepfather had cancer. He suffered a three-day relapse and went through an outpatient treatment program. "I started reaching out and talking about my feelings. The next thing I know, I wasn't alone in the conversation in my head. I was inviting people into the conversation and getting feedback and working through this stuff. At the end of the process, I was surprised I was ever in this place. I was like, 'Wow, I can't see myself getting in that place again because I have such good friends'. I have a beautiful wife, great kids, awesome job."

    I'm not sure who the friend is, but let's not forget Scott Weiland passed away right after Linkin Park entered the studio. He was like Chester's hero and they had become friends over the years. Chester was clearly upset when the news came out.

     

    "Talking To Myself" might not be credited to Chester, but the song is literally about how his wife felt while he was going through all this stuff. I guess "Nobody Can Save Me" deals with Chester's struggles at the time as well. Then you have "Heavy" (one of the songs he actually wrote) which is about his state of mind in this specific period.

    The Unreleased Songs Thread

    I thought the same but I changed my mind when I saw Esaul there, he doesn't specify what version of Esaul

    Esaul is under "1996-1998 - Xero era", meaning it's the Xero version with Mark on vocals. Chester said more than once that the song was in the audition tape the band sent him.

     

    but the one that hasn't been released is from 2000, not Xero era.

    What version are you talking about?

     

    If I'm not wrong Explode is the title fans gave to the demo of Part Of Me (but I'm not so sure, I found this name on a YouTube video).

    The title came from a fake Xero setlist. Part Of Me was written with Chester, Mark isn't credited for the song. The setlist also had other songs written only after Chester joined the band, so there's no way it is real.

     

    Plus I don't understand why Fuse has been put in the Hybrid Theory era seen it's from 1997.

    He means a version recorded with Chester. He supposedly recorded vocals for the four tracks on the Xero tape when he auditioned for the band.

    Joe Hahn Directs Steve Aoki Music Video

    in Newswire

    Posted

    'Waste It On Me', Steve Aoki's latest collaboration with K-pop group BTS is getting a music video directed by none other than Joe Hahn of Linkin Park!

    The video with all Asian-American cast stars Ken Jeong (The Hangover), Devon Aoki (Steve Aoki's sister), and Ross Butler (13 Reasons Why) and is dropping on Monday, November 19. Watch the teaser below:



    "The video is gonna be epic. It’s cultural. It’s gonna be a big one…I really feel like it’s going to be a special video. My most special video that I’ve ever been part of & put together, so I’m very excited about it..it’s gonna be a moment." - Steve Aoki

    "Much-Too-Easy" By Myself Demo

    Is this the demo that everyone is looking for? The 2nd song superxero is by myself

    https://youtu.be/2a6gGGbNu_w

    No, the 8-seconds clip in question features Chester singing "it's much too easy being lost" during the chorus while in all the demos we have (as well as in the final album version) he sings "it's all too much to take in." The full demo was never released to the public. Probably only the band has it.

    Mike Shinoda Soundcheck Sessions: Live In Moscow out Nov 15

    The worst thing about Monterrey 2012 was that it didn't even include all the songs released to the public. It's missing LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent from the MTVLA broadcast and Given Up and In My Remains from MTVLA's website. They should have used their version instead of the MTV Live HD one.

     

    Madrid 2010 is missing Wisdom, Justice, And Love, which was present in the broadcast. They had a good reason not to include it, but still, it's an incomplete show.

     

    Road To Revolution was butchered. Wake, Somewhere I Belong, Papercut and Points Of Authority weren't included in the CD. Okay, they didn't fit into one disc, but why the fuck did they remove them from the main film in the DVD? Makes no sense. Then you have bonus songs that don't fit with the rest of the show if you play everything in the right order. It's like the Live In Texas CD where they removed 5 tracks even though there was plenty of room for them, and released those tracks to the LPU with different editing.

     

    Even Live 8, which was already a short show, had songs removed for the release. Maybe they couldn't include In The End and Numb/Encore because they were already in the Live 8 DVD, but where's Crawling?

     

    I guess the only releases that included full shows were Fort Minor's Sessions@AOL (if you don't count the It's Goin' Down and Where'd You Go rehearsals) and iTunes Live From SoHo.
