Astat

For anyone who cares to know, here's the original version of the song they were butchering attempting to play: Best LPUTV ever IMO.

They match up perfectly, actually.

Ahh. Well considering I'm one of about 3 people left in the world who doesn't have a Twitter, that makes sense.

Where does that sound effect play? I don't hear anything on the splash page...

The contest details state that the winner will be announced on the 26th, the day after voting closes.

*throws my hat into the ring* http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/23712 - The Catalyst (A. Staten Remix) Didn't think I was going to be able to get a submission done for this, but everything came together over the weekend in a pretty awesome manner. Got my recording interface working, found a place to record where I could crank my amp really loud, and found someone who let me borrow their bass to finish the track. About 30 hours of hard work later, this is the end result.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about that one actually. I don't think it's really an "EP" though, more like a sampler.

There's no reason to believe that it's not real. Why make a fake of this now when the Linkin Park collector's market is nowhere near what it was a few years ago? Why wait this long to make a fake of something like this when it's just a plain CD with no artwork in a clear jewel case with a paper insert? Why make a fake of a niche item that isn't even guaranteed to sell in the first place, when you could just as easily make a fake HTEP and pretty much be guaranteed that some unsuspecting fool will hand over at least 50 bucks for it?

Magic Doors isn't FM, Petrified Los Angeles Remix was in the original post, and there is no We Major EP...there's a vinyl compilation with clean/dirty/instrumental versions of S.C.O.M., Dolla, Spraypaint & Inkpens, and Get It, which have been mentioned already. Here's the Remember the Name remix: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XMO5N4AS That's the only way to get it on CD, yes, but the first place it was released was actually on the enhanced content on The Rising Tied, there was a link to a sub-site on fortminor.com that had it in a streaming player.

Answer doesn't take much searching, it's the first video in the related videos box. It's just Ronald Jenkees screwing around with a guitar-sounding patch on his keyboard. This has also been posted countless times over the last year and a half.

It happens every once in a while, sometimes you go to step on a pedal and miss, or the pedal doesn't press down all the way, or you just forget, whatever. It was a lot more common for this to happen to Brad pre-Meteora though, when he used to have to change all his effects individually instead of being able to change several at a time through a MIDI switching system. The biggest offender with something like this is Somewhere I Belong, there have probably been at least a dozen times where Brad played the intro distorted when it's supposed to be clean.

That's not official, but if you're going to list it, there's a PRYDE remix of Remember the Name too. There's also the Remember the Name remix by Kaschke Mauer, which was the winner of the Remember the Name remix contest, that's pretty much official. Fort Minor - Street Team Sampler Mixtape: 01. Intro 02. Remember the Name 03. Dolla 04. Get It 05. Petrified (The intro track is only found on this mixtape, and the other 4 tracks all have various differences from their respective album versions) Fort Minor - The Rising Tied Instrumentals: 01. Remember the Name 02. Right Now 03. Petrified 04. Feel Like Home 05. Where'd You Go 06. In Stereo 07. Back Home 08. Cigarettes 09. Believe Me 10. Get Me Gone 11. High Road 12. Kenji 13. Red to Black 14. Slip Out the Back 15. Be Somebody 16. There They Go 17. The Hard Way (It should be noted that the instrumental version includes the bonus tracks and omits Introduction and The Battle) The following instrumentals/acapellas have all been officially released on various singles/promos (some are doubles from the TRT instrumental album, but that wasn't an official release technically): Remember the Name (Instrumental) Remember the Name (Acapella) *Not sure if there are both clean/dirty versions of this or not* Petrified (Instrumental) Petrified (Acapella) *Not sure if there are both clean/dirty versions of this or not* Where'd You Go? (Instrumental) Where'd You Go? (Acapella - Clean) Where'd You Go? (Acapella - Explicit) Get It (Instrumental) Spraypaint and Inkpens (Instrumental) S.C.O.M. (Instrumental) Dolla (Instrumental) Lastly, Fort Minor's Sessions@AOL performance was released on iTunes, I believe.

He's one of their original fans from the very beginning (I believe his first show was in 2000 before Hybrid Theory came out), he's been to something like 50 shows total, been invited up on stage with the band a few times, he's even been in a few LPTV/LP Newscaster episodes.

The odds of this ever being released in any official manner were reduced to practically zero the second Korn decided not to re-sign with Sony. That's just how the music industry works. In theory, Sony COULD release the album anyway since they own the rights to the recordings, but the project is likely nowhere close to completed and never will be. I'm just glad Korn is finally giving up the ghost on this, because they've been saying for the last several years that they'd release it soon, or they'd release it after their next album, or whatever, when the honest truth is that they likely haven't done ANY work whatsoever on this project in 5 years or so. Stuff like this does have a tendency to randomly leak years down the road though (see: She Couldn't, State of the Art, Plaster), so who knows.

It's already been established that he does.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F8EXB0NQ Moaning noises starting at 1:06 = 100% Chester. There's a lower-pitched one at 1:19 that totally makes it obvious (although I think it's pretty obvious anyway, a guy doing girl-like moans in falsetto sounds TOTALLY different than a girl doing them), and then he does one of those shrieking noises he did all the time back in those days at 1:33. At 2:15, he whispers "this sucks" twice, then he does another moan at 2:29. As I already said, Chester did female-like moaning noises at multiple shows from that period.

Piano is in tune, tempo is consistent. I'm playing along with the chord progression (Dm, Am, C, G) on my guitar and it sounds just fine. And I can get all the stems to line up just fine tempo-wise. Anyway, I have a GREAT concept for a remix, but I doubt I'll be able to actually finish it...I'm back in Ohio right now and expected I'd be able to record, only to discover that some of the cables I use to hook my interface up to my computer don't work anymore.

That's just Chester making moaning noises, he did that many times at live shows in the 2000-2002 period.

Idea for B-sides from the new album: Release them.

Well damn, there goes Julien-K's only talented vocalist... No it does not. If they're still on good terms with each other, I don't see why he wouldn't come back to perform with DBS in the future. It's not like they'd be cutting him out of the creative process, as all of DBS's material was written by Chester/Ryan/Amir/Fu, and Elias and Brandon were essentially just hired guns used to fill out the live band. The only reason Brandon wouldn't come back to DBS is if he's genuinely pissed off at his former Julien-K bandmates for whatever reason and doesn't want to, because he left by his own choosing, he wasn't fired.

You mean one of the most pathetic moments in the history of the LP community? Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, hopefully we never get our hands on this kind of stuff. That would be absolutely TERRIBLE. As far as I'm concerned, if someone is deemed important enough to be one of the few people to have a copy of something like this, the possibility of them selling it years down the road is a risk the label should assume. This is no more of a violation of intellectual property than me second-hand selling a CD to a used record store. The material contained within is much harder to find, but it wouldn't get any kind of special treatment from the legal system if this was ever taken to court. Price is ridiculous though. I'm positive it's not. If someone was going to make a fake of something like this, we would've seen it pop up years ago. Fakes = relevant to what's current (bootleg copies of recently-released CDs) or what has a large potential market (fake HTEPs). This is such a niche thing, there are maybe a handful of people who would even bid on it.

None of the tribute albums are "official" as far as having involvement with the band, but they're all licensed.

I'd say a summer PR in 2011 is pretty much a given, it's just way too early to speculate about it. They'll probably announce it in April/May.

Best fake LP song fail ever: Someone trying to pass off the demo version of Headstrong as a "cover version by Xero." Nevermind the fact that Xero ceased to exist several years before the song was even written.

That was at the Detroit show on Projekt Revolution 2002, I'm not sure if Eminem was actually among them, but some of the members of D12 came out on One Step Closer.
