http://www.lplive.net/shows/DBS/20091023.php "Ulalume" is spelled wrong (what the fuck does "Ulalume" even mean anyway?).

Weird/random move, swapping Crawl Back In and End of the World. CBI's their only well-known song with the general public right now, so it should either be opening or closing shows. Not that End of the World isn't a good opener, but CBI being in the middle of the set doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

On all DBS show pages, why does it say "The End of the World" and "The Morning After?" Neither of those songs have "The" at the beginning of their official titles. Fixed. Thanks

I'm pretty sure they just roll with whatever one of the members is choosing to do. Mike's been known to drink from time to time, and Rob battled drug addictions as a teenager. They aren't "perfect" when it comes to being clean all the time, they just make sure it doesn't interfere with their creativity/performance - they have a pretty strict policy against the use of drugs/alcohol by anyone on their crew when they're on tour. Some musicians totally fall apart and lose their creative focus when they're going through substance abuse problems, others don't have a problem with it, and a few even thrive on it. Chester's said that he never really stopped writing songs even though he had effectively hit rock bottom, so I think as long as he's able to keep himself together in a creative and performing capacity (which he did throughout 2004-2006, when most of this was going on), whatever he chooses to do isn't a big issue with his bandmates. We all know they were concerned for his well-being, but it wasn't like he totally dropped out of the Linkin Park picture during that period. The hiatus was at least partially due to the conflicts with Warner - the gap between the end of the Meteora touring cycle and the release of MTM surely wouldn't have been as long as it was if they hadn't gone through the lawsuit and subsequent contract re-negotiations. I think even if Chester hadn't been going through problems, they still would've taken a break when they did, because they hadn't really had one since Hybrid Theory came out. They went in the studio to do Reanimation in 2002 right after Projekt Revolution ended, and there was only a gap of a couple weeks between the end of the Reanimation sessions and the start of the Meteora sessions. Working almost nonstop for 4 years straight is enough to burn any band out, even if they're totally healthy.

Correct. They showed about 45 seconds of Let Down. Kimmel said the full performance would be uploaded on jimmykimmellive.net (like usual with the 2nd song), but for some reason it never was.

Read it again...it says nowhere in there that those songs are "confirmed for the album," it just mentions them as working titles, which ARE official (other than "Vaporized"), in fact, most of the information in that article is directly copied from various blogs that Mike's posted.

Welcome to 4 years ago. Chester's been wearing eyeliner since the BoW shows.

Inside of Me. I'm more sick of Crawl Back In at this point, but Inside of Me is still a weaker song. BTW, I like Morning After better than both Inside of Me and Crawl Back In.

Out of Ashes has debuted at #29 on the Billboard 200: http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-...s/billboard-200 It's also #12 in Rock Albums, #9 in Digital Albums and Alternative Albums, and #5 in Hard Rock Albums.

Just finished Inside of Me. http://www.4shared.com/dir/21035369/399a37...By_Sunrise.html I'll probably do Too Late next.

I'm just saying to look at shows that already have video sources listed. That still leaves a lot of possibilities.

There are no known video sources for any of those shows guys...it's not like Mark/Nick or the rest of the LPL crew are going to not post source info on the liveguide for something they know exists just because they want to keep it a secret until they release it. That would undermine the purpose of the site, the liveguide is always top priority.

It doesn't say anything about Dead By Sunrise or LP playing, it just says "appearances." This is just as much a press conference/media event as it is a concert, any of those music artists could be performing, speaking, or both. I wouldn't be surprised if DBS plays though. As for the LP Australian Idol contest, that seriously means absolutely nothing. No act is going to schedule a show just for the sake of falling within a contest's prize period, it's the people running the contest that are responsible for working around the touring schedules of the artists involved. First of all, the winner isn't even necessarily going to choose the pack that includes LP. And even if they do, if LP isn't playing a show between Sepetmber 14th and December 31st (which mark my words, they are not), it's up to the people running the contest to either extend the award period for the prize to accomodate a future show or replace it with another prize. There was another one of these contests not too long ago, and the winner wound up being flown to a show in Europe instead of the U.S. because LP's touring schedule didn't take them anywhere in the U.S. during the prize award period. These kind of contests are far from an indication of when/where the band will/will not be playing, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the band isn't even aware that this contest is taking place.

I don't have the whole solo figured out, but the part with the chromatic movements is hardly "weird," it's incredibly basic blues scale stuff: |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------7--------------------| |----------------7-----------------------------7--9-----7/9--\7~----------| |----------7--9-----7/9~--------------7--8--9-----------------------------| |-7--8--9-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| *Edit* Just finished tabs for My Suffering, they're up on my 4shared now. Inside of Me should be up later today or sometime tomorrow.

Nobody, most likely. DBS uses sampled backing vocals on numerous songs during live performances. The BBC performance was recorded before the New York and Hollywood shows, and nobody else had mics for either of those, so I'm assuming they're sampled on that song like they are on quite a few others. And I'm really not sure why they choose to do that, because both Brandon and Elias are good singers.

As far as I'm aware, Rick is still producing the album. There hasn't been anything said to suggest otherwise.

I just love it when people get all butt-hurt over somebody's opinion.

Because strings are the absolute last thing recorded for LP's albums, they do them after vocals are done even. If a song got to the point of having strings recorded for it, it was a totally finished song otherwise. BTW, only 4 of the 6 string songs made the album (Leave Out All the Rest, Shadow of the Day, Hands Held High, TLTGYA), No Roads Left was one of the other 2. LP has been "pop" since Hybrid Theory. Saying you want a "full version" of Lockjaw makes about as much sense as saying you want a "full version" of Session or Wake...what we have IS the full version. I don't get why it's so hard to fathom that some songs are recorded with the intent of being instrumentals.

That's not the song that's being discussed here. They're talking about the one that shows Rob playing piano in one of the LPTV 2007 episodes, it was an MTM song that didn't make the cut. Bottom line regarding the 6th strings song: There's a 25% chance that we'll get it on LPU9. There are 4 fully completed MTM b-sides that haven't been released, and that's one of them.

Yep, it's a backup. Brad has 2 of the Rory Gallagher Strats, and up until 2008, he just used one as a backup for the other, but on the summer European tour when they started using multiple rigs for different shows, the second Rory Gallagher Strat became his main Strat in the second rig, so he had to get a new backup (he has a backup for every guitar he uses). Since they don't typically have many guitar problems on stage, it's pretty rare to see any of the backups make appearances - the silver Strat has shown up once, he used a silver PRS on In the End at Skive 2008 which must have been a backup, and 2 of Mike's backups to his main PRS have shown up a couple times, once on NMS on Road to Revolution (Phoenix also used it on LOATR at that show), and once on NMS at Epicenter '09.

No idea. Lots of shows have been recorded but not released - all the 2007 shows prior to Projekt Revolution, Australia 2007, Europe in the summer of 2008, and the 2009 shows that didn't have DSPs. They don't record "for the DSP" necessarily, they've just been recording every performance since Pooch came on board in the beginning of 2007. The only planned DSP shows that wound up not happening were Jones Beach 2007, Epicenter '09, and the canceled Asian shows at the end of 2008. Yes, the choir sang the "amen" parts, and that was audible on the webcast, but you couldn't hear them during the intro.

Already talked about it via PM, but for anybody else viewing this thread who's interested, that guitar isn't new. http://linkinparkguitar.webs.com/bradsguitars.htm - 5th one from the bottom, I posted this on my site back in March, and Brad's been using that guitar as a backup since mid-2008. It's only been seen live twice (that I'm aware of), once on the previously mentioned ending of New Divide from the Tokyo Summer Sonic '09 show, and once on Bleed it Out at Berlin 2008.

There's a webcast recording, but both the audio and video quality are terrible. Also, the children's choir singing "O Little Town of Bethlehem" over the intro is essentially inaudible, the only way we ever found out what they were actually singing was from a video that KROQ posted of them practicing it at the soundcheck. The show was professionally recorded/mixed by Pooch and Dylan like they would do for a DSP, and some of the songs from that mix were played on the radio in the days following the show, but I don't believe any recordings of them exist.

I still think the Transformers 2 premiere one sounds the best. Some of the extended intros towards the end of the '09 tour were cool, but I haven't found a particular performance from any of the DSPs that I don't have some kind of complaint about.

Surprised nobody's posted this yet, there's a new LPTV episode that shows Chester finishing vocal tracks for Out of Ashes, Inside of Me in particular.
