It's because Hybrid Theory / Xero was an unsigned band from 1996 to 1999 and during this period they sent out a lot of demo cassettes and CDs to label executives and other music industry personel in hope they'd get signed. Jeff Blue played their music to basically everyone he met. During the recording of Hybrid Theory, Warner also started promoting the band before the album was finished. Hybrid Theory was scheduled for a 2001 release, but was moved to 2000 because radio stations started playing the songs from the samplers they received and got a great feedback. Over the years a lot of this demo / promotional material for Hybrid Theory has been sold online by the people who received it back then. During the Meteora era they were an already established act, so they didn't have to send out demos everywhere. The label worked with the finished product.

Mike did say they tried to add vocals to Attached and A.06 too, but that could mean anything from just "nah nah nah" melodies to actual lyrics. They might have not put too much work on those either. Could be like TooLeGit where the entire second verse is missing vocals. Brad actually broke his foot: https://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=Broken_Foot He played the beginning of the Family Values Tour with a broke foot. They worked on a bunch of demos for Reanimation and Meteora inside their tour bus during that period.

No.

Now that you guys know what it's called you can just write "Lost". Here's the reason:

Exactly. He doesn't think of them as demos anymore. Just tracks that never got vocals or simply tracks with vocals. You don't see Session listed as "Session (Instrumental)". There's no need for that. The titles with additions are tracks which are different versions of songs already included in the other discs. A6, Cuidado, Husky, etc.

Mike said recently on Discord that he changed his perception of what a demo is. Now he just calls them "Track" or "Instrumental".

Questions will be asked if this is posted outside of LPLive. Just saying.

Yes. That show might be released in video as well. Proshot clips were shown on MTV in 2003.

There's a song on Meteora with a riff that resembles the riff on One Step Closer and it's not From The Inside or Hit The Floor.

Mike said their parts on Rock And Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This) Part 2 were done specifically for that song and weren't Meteora demos.

I would be happy with just a download of the audio so we don't have to rip it from the DVD ourselves. lol This! I would love to see Projekt Revolution 2003 and 2004 shows with Xzibit, Christian Lindskog, Chad Gray, Bert McCracken and Jonathan Davis. Maybe Snoop Dogg too if they have any shows where he came out on It's Goin' Down. I think A.06 might have been considered for the album opener at one point. Funny enough, Shifter was rumored to be Somewhere I Belong until Pretty Birdy (a completely new working title for us) came out in 2013 and disproved that. Nocturnal was rumored to be Numb.

Oh. I haven't really watched that DVD in a long time. You're probably right.

Right. Rob said he recorded drums for 18 songs. Back in the Hybrid Theory / Meteora era that was always the last thing they did before vocals. So there's potentially 3 fully finished instrumental songs and maybe 4 or 3 with vocals. Not sure because in the studio update about vocals Mike said they were doing 15 songs, but in interviews after the album came out they said they finished 15 songs and 12 made the album. Seems like they count Session as well, which is just an instrumental.

Keep in mind we don't know the working titles for over half of the album. Those titles, as well as the titles we've seen on the songboard, might be songs that made the album. They did say 15 songs were done (even the board had 15 titles) and only 12 were picked for the album, so there's definitely some unreleased songs with vocals we might be getting next year.

There are actually titles we've heard on interviews and seen on the Making of Meteora DVD (although some might be just working titles for songs on the album). Even lyrics they have used on the art for that album that don't belong to any released song. They did write while on tour and had plenty of demos when they started putting together the album. 80 was the number Phoenix said. They cut that number in half and moved on from there. Rob said he recorded drums for 18 songs. Back then that was the last thing they did before vocals. Mike said they would be recording vocals for 15 songs. Meteora has 11 with vocals. That's at least 4 unreleased songs with vocals that can be released next year and maybe 3 fully fleshed-out instrumentals. How many LPU demos from the Meteora era had live drums? Serious question.

Billboard reports that MTV Entertainment Studios and Glass Entertainment Group have teamed up for a new docuseries called "MTV’s Family Legacy" that celebrates events and iconic artists through the eyes of their children. Subjects of the series include Van Halen’s Sammy Hagar, Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell, *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone, Boyz II Men’s Nathan Morris, TLC’s Chilli, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Brandy and Melissa Etheridge, The Notorious B.I.G. and Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington. The series will feature exclusive footage provided by MTV as well as interviews with the artists' children. Chester's son Draven has posted a preview of his interview on Instagram. According to him, the episode is coming to Paramount+ on April 25, 2023. The clip includes proshot footage of Linkin Park's performance at 99X's Big Day Out Freak Show from 2000. Footage of the show was also used on last year's "My Life On MTV" episode about Linkin Park.

Last Friday, indie-folk trio Distant Cousins will released a new holiday single called 'My Eight Favorite Nights.' The song was written by Linkin Park's guitarist Brad Delson and Landon Pigg, a name you might remember from their previous collaboration 'When The Seasons Call.' Distant Cousins singer Dov Rosenblatt said about the song: “This song is its own little Hanukkah miracle for us. We were thrilled when Brad, who we’ve been fans of for years, approached us about this collaboration for us to record his beautiful Hanukkah song he co-wrote with Landon. We recorded it the next day and we’re so excited about how it all came together so organically. In a time when light is needed more than ever, we’re honored to be a part of this.” Amplify Music Magazine reports that the song was featured in a Hallmark Channel film about Hanukkah called “Hanukkah on Rye” that premiered this Sunday, December 18th.

He released a music video for the song:

The first release of 2023 has been scheduled! 'Voltage' by Cam Archer is coming on January 10th. The song was produced live on Twitch by Mike Shinoda on January 19 and 20 of 2021 as part of his #ShinodaProduceMe program. Watch the process below:

It's a different Boon. This one is younger. I think he is a solo artist. His name is Edison Boon Eason. The other Boonn (with two "N"s), the one on Running From My Shadow, is part of Grandson's band. His real name is Kevin Hissink.

Back in March we reported that singer/rapper Justus Bennetts had posted a preview of an unreleased song he did with Mike Shinoda called 'Everything Is Nothing'. The full song is now officially available on all digital music platforms. The track was co-written and co-produced by Mike Shinoda with songwriters Pat Linehan and Remy Gautreau. Bennetts said about the song: "2 years ago i dropped out off community college i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life i bounced around from job to job till i finally lost it i discovered that there's nothing in this world that truly matters more than your own sanity and i bottled up that feeling and put a little bit into this song you're listening too" A second collaboration between Justus Bennetts and Mike Shinoda titled 'Choosing Violence' has been registered on BMI. The song was written in collaboration with young artist Boon and songwriter Jesse Fink (who also co-wrote Renforshort's 'I Drive Me Mad'). In November 2021, Boon shared a short video from the vocal booth in Mike's studio and Bennetts was seen beside him while the song is played. Watch it here.

Mike himself didn't think the 20th anniversary of Hybrid Theory was a big deal and had to be convinced by the management / label to do the box set. When they finally did, they all underestimated how many it would sell. Same thing happened with the remix project, someone from the label came up with the idea but Mike didn't want to do it at first: https://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=List_Of_Unreleased_Songs#Hybrid_Theory_20th_Anniversary_Remixes This is why I'm not hopeful about a Meteora 20th anniversary edition next year. There seems to be no interest from Linkin Park themselves.

Bad news about this one: according to Cheapshot, it has never been licensed to any project and never released anywhere. The good news for Styles Of Beyond fans is that a new version of Winnetka Exit has been recorded for the AppleTV+ series Loot with new vocal takes by both Ryu and Tak.
