Just something Geki said a few months ago: He said "The Messenger" was written for Dead By Sunrise. My question is: Was this information ever confirmed by Chester or anyone from the band? There's this one interview where Chester says he was writing a song for DBS and Brad wanted it to be a LP song: http://www.mtv.com/news/1624814/linkin-park-album-will-be-grandiose-insanity-chester-bennington-says/ But this was in 2009, A Thousand Suns was released almost a year later. The song could have been discarted.

You can't read very well what's on the board. I believe "Give Me Your Time" was a mistake made by fans, just like "Hold Life", "Mr Suffering" and "20¥2 ".

Good night.

Wow! I love this song. I need to see a video of this.

This was in July.

Let's all stop the election to discuss the similarities between WID and other LP songs.

I guess you're talking about this. I have no idea. I never watched the movie. On a kind of related note: I didn't know It's Goin' Down was on 2 Fast 2 Furious.

I think this is missing: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=10629

I can't understand everything he said, but I found a video of Ryu talking about the verse he did for Reanimation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-WVcpnBs9A

Ask Mike about "Watch Their Mouth (feat. Tak)" from the "Making of The Rising Tied". I think it's the only unreleased Fort Minor song we know about. It would be nice if he could release it somehow.

I was listening to "The Rising Tied Comment Album" and, according to Mike, "The Hard Way" was a working title that stuck. Kenna saw the title on Mike's computer and asked to work on the song.

The Radiance

He wants to know which one we hate the most.

"My Own Summer (Shove It)" by Deftones (which was played live by Linkin Park in 2002) was a song the band used to rehearse at band practice in their early years. Source: LPU1 newsletter.

I don't even think they were already working in the song in 2012. They make it sound like "Wake Me Up" was made in just a couple of days. Mike Einziger: "Over the last six or eight months that Incubus has been on hiatus, I’ve been writing lots of music with lots of different people, the connection that Avicii and I have with each other was unexpected." (Radio.com July 18th, 2013) "Someone from his camp contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in working on something with him. At first I was puzzled thinking, ‘How would that work?’ But then I was like, ‘Why in the world would I not?’" "We got the guitar part nailed down very quickly and then we arranged it into a verse, chorus and bridge and wrote all the melodies and vocal melodies." "We recorded all the parts in my studio and I dumped it into Tim’s laptop." "I got up the next morning and he’d emailed me. He was all excited about it. He’d put some finishing touches on it—the things he does— and it just sounded awesome." Aloe Blacc: "I received a phone call from my record label asking if I wanted to record a song with Avicii. I said it'd be interesting. Avicii had been in the studio with Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. I've never met Mike, but we know each other through a mutual friend named DJ Cheap Shot who I used to work with as a hip-hop artist back in the '90s. Anyways, Avicii was with Mike Shinoda showing him a song written by Mac Davis, who is an old school legendary songwriter who used to write for Elvis Presley and other folks. Mike Shinoda suggested that he get Aloe Blacc to sing the song. So that's why Avicii ultimately contacted me." "Davis wrote a song called “Black & Blue” and Avicii liked it but wanted a soul singer to record it. While Avicii was in a session with Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, Shinoda suggested to Avicii that I sing the song." "We initially met at Westlake Studios in L.A. where Michael Jackson recorded the Off the Wall and Thriller albums. It was there that I recorded the vocals to "Black & Blue" written by Mac Davis and also wrote a fresh idea with Avicii. Not too long after, he invited me to Mike Einziger's home studio for a session to write what would become "Wake Me Up."" "I started writing the lyrics at the top of 2013, travelling back from Switzerland." "The lyrics started on the plane trip home after IWC's annual Gala event in Geneva." "A couple weeks later I went to Europe to do some shows and other things. This was this past January. On the flight home from Geneva I was writing lyrics. The initial lines "wake me up when it's all over/when I'm wiser and I'm older" came to me on the plane. When I got back, I had time set up to go back into the studio with Avicii and finish what we had initially started writing, but he calls me and he says, "I know we have a recording date, but I'm over here at [incubus member and "Wake Me Up" guitarist] Mike Einziger's house and we just started on some music that sounds great. We'd like for you to come finish the lyrics and melody with us."" "Working on “Wake Me Up” was quite simple. Avicii invited me to join his session with Mike Einziger and I came prepared with the lyrics for “Wake Me Up.” When I arrived, Einziger had already created the guitar part, so all I had to do was create a melody to fit my lyrics with the chord progression."

Linkin Park, Weezer, Interpol, alt-J.

Less crickets please.

Where did the "Mike Shinoda recorded Mike Einziger's guitar from 'Wake Me Up'" thing came from? I've read a lot of interviews with Mike Shinoda, Avicii, Mike Einziger, and Aloe Blacc about the song and the only thing they mention about Shinoda is that he introduced Aloe Blacc to Avicii. Edit: I know if was from some radio, but what I really want to know is: Has any of the people involved in the song ever confirmed this information?

He is right though... I think only the São Paulo dates should be listed in the main post.

As far as I know, there was no physical release of any of these.

1. It has a different vocal take. 2. The reason why it's missing "fucking" in the 2nd verse is because it is a clean version.
