Well, we all know Nickelback will win this one because...they're Nickelback.

Most of them are common knowledge, honestly. Some info can also be found here: http://www.discogs.com/Fort-Minor-DJ-Green...release/1174365

No idea. What do you mean? The album version and the "original version" are the same thing...just because the remix on We Major came out first doesn't make it the "original" version. Anyway, the version on the single is the album version. Considering the official title of the second one is "Where'd You Go (BBB Remix)" and not "Where'd You Go (Big Bad Remix)," I think that's a pretty easy one to figure out. Also, just reading Mike's note on Where'd You Joe? from the FMM website answers this as well: "Joe just made this a couple weeks ago. We have a couple remixes of the song floating around out there (one by Styles Of Beyond producers Skully and Cheapshot, another by LP guitarist Brad Delson). I love Joe's--I think it's one of the most unique remixes i've heard of a Fort Minor song. I hope all of you out there who are remixing or plan to remix FM songs are inspired by it. Those of you who don't make music can just sit back and enjoy "

Producers of We Major tracks: Green Lantern Intro - Green Lantern 100 Degrees - Mike Dolla - Mike Bloc Party - Mike S.C.O.M. - Mike Remember the Name (Funkadelic Remix) - Mike Bleach (Jimi Remix) - Mike Spraypaint & Inkpens - Mike Petrified (Doors Remix) - Mike Get It - Scoop DeVille Be Somebody - Mike Respect 4 Grandma - Scoop DeVille There They Go (Green Lantern Remix) - Green Lantern All Night - Apathy Nobody's Listening (Green Lantern Remix) - Green Lantern Cover and Duck - Mike Remember the Name (Album Version) - Mike Petrified (Album Version) - Mike Outro - Green Lantern Where'd You Go? (S.O.B. Remix) - Cheapshot & Vin Skully I believe Green Lantern was responsible for the transitions between songs, so technically speaking, he did some production on everything.

Why are they redesigning the sign-in system when there are a crapload of people whose accounts are STILL fucked up because of Clique ID? This is Sparkart we're talking about here, they're practically asking for another 3+ years of screwed up LPN accounts if they redo the system again. Furthermore, the LPN accounts are tied to all sites under the LPN banner, so does this mean I'm going to lose my LPU, LP.com, and MS.com accounts, all my posts, signup date, user info, everything? Fuck that, if that happens, you will never see me on an official LP-affiliated website again.

The 2005 version is poorly mixed and Chester sounds absolutely terrible. One of the worst vocal performances of his entire career IMO.

Most people probably don't know this, but there are a total of EIGHT versions of the song It's Goin' Down, which is a source of confusion for many people, wondering which version of the song they have. I've decided to post a thread to end all questions about this and point out the differences between the versions. Demo Version (3:33) - This version lacks the "Put it out for the world to see..." chorus found in the album version. It also has a short female voice clip at the beginning that says "I knew I was being threatened, do you think it's worth holding out? I mean, I've heard some pretty ugly things about those guys...ugly stories." This female voice clip is only present in the demo and promo versions. Promo Version (3:33) - This is essentially the same thing as the demo version, except during the breakdown (approximately 2:36) there is a voiceover saying "Yo, it's request only, X-Ecutioners Built From Scratch, album in stores soon." Radio Edit #1 (3:37) - This version is found on the Australian CD single of the song. It lacks the few seconds of guitar feedback at the beginning of the song and fades in abruptly on the first repetition of the guitar riff with the "watch them flee" sample. This version (and all following versions) has the "Put it out for the world to see..." chorus in it. Radio Edit #2 (3:45) - Essentially the same thing as the first radio edit, except it does have the guitar feedback at the beginning. Video Edit (3:49) - Similar to the second radio edit, except this version has one extra repeat of the main riff at the end of the song. Album Version (4:08) - The full-length version found on the Built From Scratch CD. Instrumental (4:08) - Instrumental version of the song, as performed on the album. Scratchapella (2:13) - Found on the It's Goin' Down promo vinyl along with the instrumental, this is a bit of an oddity. It's essentially all the scratching and various samples found in the song without any other music, and the long breaks of silence between them are removed for the most part. As most of these versions have been officially released in some manner, I won't offer download links here, but hopefully this will help clear up any questions about what version(s) of the song you have.

Correct.

My best guess is that they had the song finished, they just had to go back and mix/master it when they decided to release it, since it would have been cut before they entered that phase with the remainder of the album. Then again, I've always been suspicious of how good the sound quality of Dedicated is compared to other existing demos from that time period and thought it might not have really been recorded in 1999 like it says it was on the CD...

Because failure to deliver advertised goods to paying customers is kind of a big deal.

The 3:33 one is either the demo or promo, go to 2:36, if there's a voiceover saying "Yo, it's request only, X-Ecutioners Built From Scratch album in stores soon" it's the promo. If not, it's the demo. I have no idea what the 3:45 version would be. The radio edit is 3:37, the music video version is 3:49.

Last time I checked, Muse's breakthrough hit in the U.S. was Time is Running Out, which came out a good FIVE YEARS before the Twlight soundtrack.

You're a little late on that. No More Sorrow and What I've Done are both in Guitar Hero games already, One Step Closer is in Rock Band 2, and Given Up is in Rock Revolution. And they really aren't any less challenging than any of the other early-level songs in the games. Who the hell wants to play a game with no learning curve? The difficulty of the actual guitar parts also has little to do with it, how hard it is to play the song in the game is entirely dependent on how the game makers chart the song. What I've Done's guitar part in Guitar Hero World Tour is ten times harder than it is on a real guitar because they've charted it as if the lead and rhythm parts are played by a single guitar, so there's a bunch of 3-button chord changes.

I seriously doubt MLK has all the bands booked for the festival already, it's still over 6 months away. The participation of any of those bands could likely change. This has absolutely no bearing on the album release whatsoever.

30.11.2009 Houston, TX, Verizon Wireless Theater, KTBZ "Buzz Festivus" Dead By Sunrise is not playing this show. http://www.facebook.com/94.5thebuzz?v=feed...id=165084093369 Fixed. Thanks

Vinyl plus an additional CD and t-shirt from one of the past LPU years* If you went out to a store and bought 2 CDs, 2 t-shirts, and a vinyl record, it would probably come out to about $70. Add in the rest of the LPU package stuff, and there you go.

The vinyl record has been 100% confirmed for well over a month. And I'd be very surprised if the price of the premier package goes down at all.

I did a bunch more work on it yesterday...I'm thinking around December 1st is when I'll have it done.

No it's not...the live outro is based on the bridge riff, the ending of the demo is a modified version of the chorus. The drum beat at the ending of both is slightly similar, but that's it. If you include doubling, I counted 8 guitar tracks in the song, 6 if you don't include doubling (for the heavy parts starting with the bridge), and 4 if you combine the palm-muted parts at the end of the second verse and the ones in the following chorus (the chorus has a little distortion but the ending of the verse doesn't). And there's never more than 2 different parts playing at the same time anyway so you can do the whole thing with just 2 guitars and not miss anything.

Some of the octave parts are different too, they're played throughout more of the song than they are on the final version (where they're only at the end of the second verse and the second chorus). I really haven't had a chance to take a good look at that one yet, I'm trying not to get too distracted by the LPU9 stuff because I still have a lot of DBS stuff to finish tabbing.

Most of the stuff on the CD is pretty easy, Drawing is just the verse part from BTH looped, Fear is just LOATR without the clean part before the choruses or the second guitar at the end, the Faint demo is all simple powerchords...A-Six is easy too except for one weird part about 2/3rds of the way through that's puzzling me. Haven't taken a stab at Figure.09 or Drum Song yet.

Haven't tabbed it yet, just learned it by ear.

I've pretty much got the first solo down, it's the second solo during the outro that I'm having trouble with because it's so hard to hear with the vocals over it.

Not at all. The background music from the live intro is the synth loop from the verses of the song, and Sad is the only demo of the song that doesn't have that in it. Actually, some of the samples in Sad sound a lot like the background music in the verses of Step Up.

Give Me Your Name and Condemned are the two I'm working on at the moment.
