brother i am not at shinoda levels. if i need to make nightcore edits I will make nightcore edits LOL

this is exactly what i was saying man. what the hell does this have to do with anything LOL why randomly diss this one song in an unrelated thread don't compare these edits to full fledged remixes, of course even the ones you don't like will realistically be better. No one took stems and manipulated them for this one. you could slap the mp3 or wav in any simple DAW and add these effects to it. also, i for one thing the Dirtyphonics remix of LGM jams. imagine the bass is they incorporated that into a live performance. nasty stuff. if you want to talk about a bad Recharged remix, talk about the BID or Powerless remix...

you know, to be fair to him, in an age where every creative is trying to capitalize on everything possible, mike's staying ahead of the curve. If anyone watches any YouTube you may have seen a whole bunch of "shorts" videos and channels where they reupload like small clips of old videos and other stuff so they can make money off their own old clips instead of some random person who made a compilation. I guess this is the same thing as that. it does not take a genius to speed a song up for a nightcore remix or the slowed + reverb remix. someone on youtube would've made these versions anyway, mike just took the liberty of having them made and officially released himself so he can make the money. i'm never gonna listen to any of these again, and i imagine not many others here will BUT for the ~100k people who listen to this kinda stuff on the daily, this is him hitting a bunch of weird niche markets, which does kinda lineup with twitch. there are going to be a bunch of twitch streamers playing these versions, that's for sure. i think he's really trying out the online creator model to make some money. who knows why. this wasn't a defense of these remixes or Mike because i do think the remixes are garbage but i am high as fuck and had a moment of brilliance while thinking how this isn't possibly some kind of april fools joke. #cashgrab

its a dark day in hell if youre telling me there is an official mike shinoda nightcore remix now

none of us have nearly enough money to even begin and try understand why someone would buy this LOL

i'm going to sell everyone's account who disagrees with me as an NFT

1) no one so much as mentioned One More Light or Amends but you cannot form your full argument, much less a full sentence without justifying your liking for one or the other, and that is part of the point. why bring up shit like this that literally has nothing to do with the conversation? what are you trying to prove that all of us don't already know? 2) every single person here is free to express their opinion whether its positive or negative. my problem is not with the fact you don't like the song. your opinion does not matter to me; nor should mine to you. the fact is every single goddamn thread about this song - or just Mike Shinoda lately - is the fact that . show me the last time someone, in a thread, commented on a Grey Daze thread about the cashgrab this or that. while you search back a few months to when people actually gave a shit, i will go to any of the last 5 threads about 'Happy Endings' to find you or someone else talking about "selling out," "Disney music," etc. the one person in particular ( ) has signed off everything that doesn't have a shouted vocal in it as "Disney" music since 2017 and it shows. no one is able to discuss something without someone else bringing up some irrelevant bullshit just to prove a point that things aren't how YOU want them to be. Voice your concern! But don't define every sentence or comment you make by that point. it's a shallow and immature look. This goes to anyone reading this for any band or artist: say your piece, but don't linger. disagree or agree. hate or don't hate. but not over and over and over again. no one wants to read that shit i've noticed this over the past few weeks post-HT20, but the negativity is really starting to get in the way of constructive conversation, or even just casual conversation void of negativity. feel free to put me in my place if im stepping out of line lol

the worst part of the 2014 Disney music debacle is that you guys still think anything that sounds trendy is "Disney" music. dude writes a song with an uplifting message for the first time in like 4 years and your brain is too caught up in the lack of despair that it can't possibly be considered anything but kids music. if you don't like the song - don't listen to it! there are dozens of songs you can keep listening to from the back catalogue, and i'm sure even more new music being made everyday that sounds like what you want to hear. go find it. stop dwelling on one man's three minutes of positivity and excitement about a changing world. and that the people who think the disney joke is still funny 7 years later lol. you may be worse than the people who think that anyone involved with this band can only make music that sounds like HT/Meteora.

it's kinda ridiculous how many people in this thread are up in arms about Mike telling fans that he is making a smart business decision lol I get where you're coming from; I wouldn't want him to make an album if wasn't feeling up to it. But that's not the case here.Like Coizu said, PT was the same thing. Mike's constantly working on music and I'm sure had many more songs than the original three PT songs ready to go when he released them. It's not a matter of him making new, uninspired music just because people want him to. THE MUSIC IS THERE ALREADY, perhaps as a beat or as a demo piece or even fully completed at this point. The music industry is different now than it was even when Post Traumatic came out. If you do not have the momentum to release an album, then simply don't. Just release all the tracks as singles once every two or so months. The fact of the matter is Mike Shinoda as an artist doesn't have the same effect as Linkin Park does. Mike needs to ensure there is the demand based of fan response to the singles he releases, and then he and his team will see what the best thing to do from there is. If you really think he's only going to make album songs once he sees there's a demand for it, you really don't know how this guy operates at all.

as a 21 year old musician... it would be an honor to be dancing and singing between Mike Shinoda in a song and video the hook of this song doesn't get old for me. I love how Upsahl's and Mike's voices sound together on it. Cool video - you can tell the editing style is definitely very current, if they put together a filter or something they could market this even better on TikTok/Reels. fun little video!

finally, someone who understands

this remix has really weeded out the boomers of this forum

I feel like the only shot we have at hearing any of this stuff is like... an HT50 release. I wouldn't hold my breath on this one, though this is truly some amazing information. Then again... the tapes exist. Maybe all we need to do is some sleuthing 👀

this is random but this picture genuinely looks like it could've been taken in my backyard. the curve of the hill and the fence match perfectly LOL

This is sexy

Wow this is gonna be awesome. Shinoda, Purity Ring, DJ Shadow, Robert Smith, Phantogram, Squarepusher... lots of great names involved.

these are both some pretty mid covers. Instrumental on OSC is pretty cool but grandson coulda done a lot better with the vocals. The ITE cover sounds like a YouTube cover, not a huge fan about how he delivered those verses either. Both artists definitely coulda been better on covers of different songs but it's pretty obvious why these two songs were chosen. If you guys thought these covers were bad, check out this disaster we found while trying to figure out what these covers were: https://open.spotify.com/album/7nPTvmqTpOLOikmsrWxSmE?si=K8xqPyKRQCOF9Nl2qHpUIQ I actually laughed out loud at By Myself lmao

Huge post. It's been years since I've really sat down and listened to most of these demos, and of course hearing these new demos really put everything into perspective. Looking through the picture book was a really interesting experience; I am around the same age now as they were when they were forming Xero and recording these demos, and I have much the same aspirations as them. It was a very unique feeling looking and listening into the past. 2020 is my 20th anniversary too so at least for me, the intrinsic quality of the songs isn't as important as the history they hold. Stick N' Move does go kinda off tho

I was about to say lol. Funny how you think they were going to do a live Q&A when: a) Mike did them for months before STOPPING them bc people asked so many insensitive/stupid questions b) Even during the pandemic we managed to get FOUR of em together, the task of getting them together for a Q&A in one place at one time I’m sure takes a lot scheduling. They didn’t HAVE to do this, especially since the DVD pretty much comes out the same day. though i have to say “soy cuck move” is a new favorite line

Well if they did anything else for us to discuss we wouldn't be here lol. You don't have to reply to every post bro, if there's a discussion you don't wanna be a part of, just move on

#JusticeForLestat

this might be the best comment of the forums of 2020

Ohhhh I see now my bad. Missed the key "instrumentals" part

Unfortunately I cannot support people who beat their wives, however I'm glad to see Joe getting some music work done. I wonder if his new found celebrity in Korea the last few years will open him up to more stuff like this in the future. Can't go wrong with some more Mr. Hahn remixes!

I don't think anyone was calling the FANS of the album douchebags... not to say there wasn't heat in the shoutbox for awhile but a lot of it WAS (and I think, rightfully so) directed towards Sean/the rest of Grey Daze. That being said, hopefully that's all gone the second time around. Wouldn't want to have to go hard moderating the shoutbox because of petty opinion arguments again. Still haven't listened to Amends - don't know if I will - but I certainly hope this record goes a lot smoother... and they don't come at us with like 10 different versions again lol. Nowadays it's really important how an artist presents themselves and conducts themselves online and these guys really fucked that up. No matter what someone's opinion of your record or song is, outright calling them a piece of shit on a public forum/social media simply is not a good look. At the end of the day, I just hope they stop sending me Grey Daze ambassador emails lol. I never asked to be one, but here I am, with my LPLive email filled to the brim with teaser announcements, teasers, announcements of said teaser announcements, etc. Just do better, guys.
