  1. Who announces a press conference this far in advance?
  2. Yeah, that was from that Sonisphere digital download EP...although I don't think the track was actually recorded at Sonisphere like it says it was, because the live video of DBS playing CBI at Sonisphere sounds completely different.

    RaR 04 Intro

    I believe it's the Spanish equivalent of "gazelle." The poem was originally written by a Spanish poet (Federico Garcia Lorca) around the time of the Spanish civil war in the 1930s.
  4. If you can convert one of them to mp3 for me, I can A/B it with Agent's rips and see if they look better. If it's a different rip, I have a feeling yours will be better...I remember chatting with him back in 2005 while he was trying to figure out how to rip these things, it took him forever and he had to go through some ridiculous process involving several different programs to get it done. Shit's come a long way since then, lol.
  5. Hmm...are you just going to use Agent's original rips? Because while his rips were the first ones and by far the most common, they didn't come out that great, they're very distorted. He did those at a time when technology that allowed you to rip a 5.1 mix into 6 different tracks was very primitive, there are ways of getting better rips now and I know for a fact they're out there.
  6. Oh the irony. Yes, Jani gets a warning too, but unlike you, he wasn't already at a 50% warning level. Enjoy your vacation.
  7. Well, the audio on RTR is essentially just a more polished and remastered version of the DSP audio, and the majority of the DSPs are kind of lacking in the bass department - Rob's bass drum is usually pretty tight, but the resonant low-range frequencies are usually pretty quiet. I'd say it's more a result of the source material than anything else.
  8. They were pretty much the same in concept (Ozzfest bands playing shows together during non-Ozzfest dates), but the "Big Day Off" shows were always the same lineup (LP, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Slipknot, and Papa Roach, except one show that LP and Disturbed didn't play), while the Off-Fest shows had varying lineups.

    RaR 04 Intro

    Joan Baez, from the 1968 album Baptism: A Journey Through Our Time. Should be on iTunes.
  10. I don't think it's so much a matter of them only playing what they like as it is them playing what the general public expects to hear. I wouldn't be surprised at all if on the next touring cycle, we see an all-singles setlist after a few have been released from the new album.
  11. Yeah, the list of Machine Shop Marketing artists is something totally different, they've promoted all kinds of bands that were never signed to the record label...Staind is one of the big ones I can think of off the top of my head.
  12. 1. A lot of the festival shows LP plays are also part of the tour they happen to be doing at the time...the U.S. to Europe tour pretty much started with the Hollywood Palladium show and ended with the Brixton Academy show, and it might as well include all shows in between. It's just a standard practice on LPL to default to the name of the festival when it falls in the middle of another tour, mainly because in those cases, LP isn't putting on the show. 2. "Off-Fest" was essentially where several of the Ozzfest bands would play a show together during off days from the rest of the tour. It's kind of like the Albuquerque and Bonner Springs 2008 shows that weren't part of Projekt Revolution, but included a few of the PR bands. The lineups on the Off-Fest shows varied, I don't think LP played at all of them, but they were at most of them.

    RaR 04 Intro

    Was used as the intro at every show from June through September of 2004.
  14. I'd have to go with Figure.09 as my first choice. It was only played on two major tours, it's rarely a song that gets mentioned, and I honestly think it's the best track on Meteora. There are a bunch of tracks from that album that have a lot less substance, but are way more popular thanks to them being released as singles. One other song that I can think of that would definitely fit in this category is Forgotten. Yeah, it was played live all the time up through 2002, but it hasn't been played at all since then, and how many current fans went to shows back then anyway? Every other song from Hybrid Theory was still played at one time or another after the end of the Hybrid Theory touring cycle, but that one wasn't, save for one performance of the remix (during a point where the band wasn't touring actively at all). I can see The Little Things Give You Away, Valentine's Day, and maybe In Pieces turning into songs like this a couple years down the road as well.
  15. IIRC, all you did was brag about having a Walking Dead acapella, then you refused to share it and posted like a 30 second clip of this remix with little else as far as information goes. I was under the impression that you had an OFFICIAL Walking Dead acapella, and that you ripped it from a promo/vinyl/something like that which also had this remix on it. But oh well, mystery solved, several years later than it should've been. Yay?
  16. Holly Brook isn't on Machine Shop anymore, neither is Styles of Beyond. The only act that's actually still signed to Machine Shop (other than LP's releases having the Machine Shop logo on them) is Fort Minor.
  17. Because taking a staff member who helped build this website's word for it obviously isn't enough proof. The version of In the End from the BBC Live Lounge performance (it's on one of the In the End singles) has that ending. I think it was like that at some of the shows in 2000 as well. The only known 2004 show that Brad did the Pushing Me Away thing at was Mountain View, which there's a recording of.
  18. Just keep in mind, IMDB said Chester was going to have a cameo in Dark Reel as well, and that turned out to be untrue.
  19. The mixtape it appeared on was released during the Fort Minor era, regardless of when it was recorded. And I don't think it goes back that far.
  20. Uhh, no it's not. I used the same vocal removal preset to figure out the guitar parts for this song that I use for any other song, and if you run that preset on a track with no stereo separation between the channels, you're left with nothing but silence. Didn't happen. And it makes no sense for any of the versions to be in mono - the iPhone may only have one speaker, but it has an input for stereo headphones.
  21. In the End had an alternate ending at some shows in 2001 where Chester would sing a little bit more over the outro, and the piano at the end abruptly cut off with a scratching noise instead of finishing like it does on the album. Sometimes they used it to go straight into A Place for My Head.
  22. Pretty sure that's not the same song.
  23. No idea. It would've been sometime in 2006, I imagine, but it was REALLY hard to find...it took months for someone to track down a copy of it and rip the mixtape version, and they refused to share a rip of the full mixtape, just Freestyle and the tracks before and after it so you could hear how the transitions worked.
  24. This sentence pretty much confirms that this is fake - LP and The Kooks were previously combined together for an MTV World Stage episode, and LP's portion was just the Transformers 2 premiere performance. I'm almost positive this is just a re-airing of that. I mean really, what are the odds that they'd combine the same 2 bands together for 2 different performances on the same program just a year apart?
  25. The songs are in the same key, the parts mesh well together, and the band hadn't played the original Pushing Me Away in years at the time he started doing it?
