I agree. It's just a hunch ofcourse but him being away from the whole M20 celebration (while hé was present for HT20) leaves a bad vibe.

Since the OML he was like that

i odnt remember any Rob interview from that period.

Maybe Mike performing LP songs with other famous guests?

Similar to what happened @ Hollywood Bowl

The " & friends" part is a really interesting hint.

My theory is that Slye already talked to Mike and asked for Linkin Park and the guys said no.

FROM the business point of view Mike Shinoda with some famous friends playing Linkin Park songs would attract more people than Mike w his almost unknown solo project.

They could definitely do it. Mike's a powerful singer and an emotional writer. It would be different without Chester but it would work and it'd be nice to see these guys getting back into things. I do very much miss Linkin Park together, in whatever capacity.

Im getting tired of waiting. I just need an answer if it's over it's okay ill find a way to accept that.

but it's getting really frustrating.

They always did joke songs, there's a lot of examples. I did a compilation, i might update it with every joke song.

This is all correct, except Fighting Myself wasn't even finished in 2002. It didn't have the Chester vocals in the song itself, but they were in the session / multitracks. So when you say Mike said "we cleaned the mix", you are correct because he mixed it fresh in 2022 - that's right. But that song wasn't done enough at the time to mix properly by 2002 standards, if it didn't have Chester on it.

You could argue that it's a "new mix" from how Mike had it set up in ProTools or whatever at the time, sure haha

Mixed in 2023 but with the mindset of making it sound like they were mixed in 2002.

i was about to complain

but you guys were just necroposting

You have to remember he made the songs in 2017 to be on a Fort Minor release, and LP was down with it. It was a Mike Shinoda release because Chester passed and it then became personal with the new songs he was writing. The original hip hop tracks on that album were Fort Minor songs for a fall 2017 release. He could easily do FM anytime he wanted.

What's the point of having two projects were the only band member is the same person?

SOB weren't part of FM they were features.

Mike Shinoda makes more sense since they present him as Shinoda of LP.

Who the fuck knows in 2023 what is FM?

The project is done, it served its purpose.

This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a 0 percent reason to release new music under Fort Minor since Mike moved on already, his relationship with SOB is non-existent.

It was just a moment of time that is not going to happen again, everything that mike will release will be under Mike Shinoda or Linkin Park.

Is it just me, or am I seeing another coincidence with "Fighting Myself" and "Papercut"?

 

We all know that the working title of "Figure.09" ("Plaster 2"/"Plaster II") is a reference to the "One Step Closer" demo name of "Plaster", which is also referring to the intro riff in the song. And because of that, I can basically be said that "Figure.09" is the sequel to "One Step Closer". We also know that "Fighting Myself" is, basically said, the equal to "Papercut".

 

But I realized something else that's interesting concerning "Papercut" and "Fighting Myself". The working titles. While they aren't exactly the same, they look very similar to each other. Papercut's working title is "Papercut", while Fighting Myself's working title is "Shortcut". Both working titles are 8 letter words, and they both end with the word "cut".

 

This was just something interesting that I realized as another very interesting coincidence between the two songs.

You might be right.

I love Rob's drums on this track I love the delay effect that he does, isnt that unique in the LP world?

I found a YouTube video of "More The Victim" by Linkin Park being played by a YouTuber by the name of Sloth Demon Dump on Rock Band 3, for some reason (maybe he imported it into the game or something, I don't know). 

 

Fellow YouTuber LACG, of whom I'm pretty sure everyone here is very familiar with, especially with his mashups with Linkin Park and stuff, asked him if he could share the stems. Sloth Demon Dump replied with this: "Sure, here you have it

So, apparently this song has been, like, forgotten a long time ago that LP didn't find all tracks so them with Harmonix kinda isolated the song but at the same time used some existing tracks of the song (or well that's my guess of why the stems sounds kinda weird)" 

 

I don't think they are the official stems, but they sound very cool.

 

Also, here's the Harmonix site that he was talking about: https://www.harmonixmusic.com/music

If you click on the "go" button, it leads you to this site: https://rbdb.online

I think that's where he isolated the stems that you can find in the Google Drive link.

 

they sound like they were created with moises.

fan made for sure.

If by saying that they will release the live show they meant that they will post it on YT ok but if they menat they would release the CD/DVD than wtf, who made those kind of decisions that quick, if you do something like that for the first time than you're waiting for how the fans gonna respone about it and you're not making the official release of it, which only means that the only reason of why you're doing this are probably the money.

GD is a very unprofessional band in terms of social media. I guess that they will make a compilation of fan clips and some of their own recorded videos and release them on their youtube page.

Almost the full set, they used Chester's vocals for Saturation.

They sound so good live! very tight sound.

I would do it, no brainer. This guy has a once-in-a-lifetime-chance. He should grab it. And no, I'm far from being a Grey Daze fan or even feel some degree of sympathy for Sean, but Cris isn't to blame. I'm glad for him

He's a good vocalist for GD, I hope that this project becomes really successful with him on board.

Grey Daze could easily tour in places like Germany or Brazil that are crazy for Chester and they would get huge crowds.

It's weird that this is their comeback show, I imagined that it would be a solo show full of GD fans like in a Club Tattoo anniversary party or something like that, its going to be awkward for them being part of this festival where people dont know who they are.

Just a theory, I think after IV they kinda stagnate. I love their music, but it isn't the most innovative piece of art in word. They tried really hard in "When Legends Rise" to reach wider audiences, but their old school fans didn't accepted that sound quite well and the general public didn't change their thoughts about them, so they felt into middle ground. In the end, I get it, they took the Legacy band approach "why I'm gonna waste more time making music if you just want to listen the same shit over and over again?"

The digital era killed albums, now is all about trash singles or trying to go viral.

What do you guys think about Cris? he is in a very special situation

Imagine being a huge LP fan, you create your own tribute band and then the very first band of the vocalist that you love calls you to join the band.

Not for me - the Lost bridge is much better than what we hear on the DVD. They made the right decision on the bridge.

The greatest big decision man 5 or 6 weeks in number one? or more? i dont know but

that's a hell of a decision

i cant believe that Lost got to be one of the band's biggest songs. If Chester was alive im pretty damn sure that we they would play it live.

TBH I'd go to this show for Godsmack 

i was just reading about their final album, its kinda sad that they dont want to record more albums.

Just hope they don’t make new music as Grey Daze with Cris on vocals. I’d be against it 100%. But they are not idiots, I hope. 

They can move on

I'll support them.

A singer from a tribute band to "replace" Chester? Not a bad option, to be honest. I already have many issues with Grey Daze,but this one seems one of their few good ideas.

From what i heard of the rehearsal clips he sounds good doing GD.

I asked Sean if Cris is a permanent member or just a special guest, this is what he said

"we are keeping Cris with us and we will see where it takes us. 
Right now we are trying to just have some fun and finally
Play live."

 Grey Daze will indeed be performing at 98KUPD FM Radio’s U Fest 2023 on Saturday, May 6, 2023! The band has welcomed acclaimed vocalist Cris Hodges from Linkin Park tribute band In The End to perform live as Grey Daze, all in honor of Chester Bennington’s legendary music career, especially his rocker beginnings. U Fest will be held at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre (formerly Ak-Chin Pavilion) and will also feature performances by Godsmack, I Prevail Nothing More, Fozzy, The Warning, and more!

Doesn't bother you a bit that they only released half of the show? It wouldn't ruin my experience, but I'd be a little bit upset about it 

nothing bothers me more than the moment that LPU lost my photo with Chester. it was just me and Chester and somehow they lost it.

Just now, bloodbath said:

In fact, didn't a couple of tracks of that show leaked from a Mike's hard drive or something? I remember the quality of those was INSANE. Another legendary non released DVD like Berlin 2014.

 

PS: lucky bastard, you saw one of their best encores with the Lying/Papercut medley, Faint and OSC

yeah some tracks leaked the quality is really good.

i had one of the best nights of my whole life... first show ever , the show starts with APFMH, killler encore, my show gets released on a dvd damn. great times

Chester and the band were in A+ shape during 2012.

We need Mark and Astat to ask about this but he specific not just DSP’s in general. Because the attitude about DSP’s was just oh we stopped doing them. But we’re talking about shows that were recorded and lost and just not released. They’re definitely on some hard drive or computer or something. Maybe Pooch and Dylan didn’t mix those shows but I feel like they did since we got Australia 2007. If not they could give us the DSP’s unmixed who cares. 
 

This has potential to be the the best LPL exclusive of all time right up there with Camden 04, MFR05, etc. 

I remember that Pooch told me that he mixed the full Monterrey 2012 show, would be really great to have my first show ever.

this is one of the unreleased things that LPU should release but

guess what?

they are going to release all the old crap videos that we already have.
