And hardly any of them are ever released as singles.

I don't get why everybody's assuming the Japanese release date means it will leak soon/should have leaked already. 1) I still think the September 30th release date is wrong information, it'd be horrible business practice to release your product 2 weeks early in one region like that. That date has not been confirmed by any of the official DBS/LP-related websites, hell, they haven't even released information on packaging details for the album yet. Don't you think they'd do that sooner than 2 days before it's supposed to be available somewhere? 2) Even if it is released on the 30th, this is Japan we're talking about here. As I've discussed in topics relating to setlists/recordings from Japanese shows, for whatever reason, Japan seems to be almost COMPLETELY cut off from everybody else when it comes to the Internet. For such an advanced country, it's almost impossible to even find somebody from Japan on an English-speaking website. I mean we have what, like...two Japanese LPL members? And they hardly ever post anyway. Bottom line, don't count on a leak until stores in Europe and/or North America have received shipments of the album.

This list does not include concert intros that then went into the first song normally (i.e. any of the random instrumentals that went into With You, Don't Stay, etc. when they opened shows), show openers are only included if something was changed in the structure of the song itself. It also only includes intros and outros, not things that were done in the middle of songs. If I'm missing any (good luck thinking of any more, because I sure can't!), let me know.

Because we all know that Linkin Park is completely incapable of multitasking.

If they're putting that much effort into it, they should just release it on an actual videogame console.

Uhh, that's the only one there is...

Crawl Back In, Let Down, My Suffering. If they release a 4th one, maybe Into You or something like that...Inside of Me is probably too short to be seriously considered. It'd be the shortest single by a major-label act in...well, I can't even remember how long.

My comparison has always been that Brad's "full" distorted sound nowadays sounds about like what his "lo-fi" sound on the Meteora cycle sounded like. It just sounds like there should be somewhere more for it to go, but it never really does. But that's pretty much what you get when you switch from using monster tube amps like Mesa Boogies and Marshalls to using modeling preamps. You sacrifice tone for convenience. Which reminds me...Brad said quite a few times right after when MTM came out that he was going to be putting out a signature model amp emulator through Randall, whatever happened to that?

It'll probably be the same 4 songs that are already available. At best, maybe they'll be complete instead of the horribly edited versions that are going around right now.

I think that's true of Inside of Me and Crawl Back In, but not necessarily My Suffering and Fire - of the 4 officially released songs, I really like two and don't care for two. I think Walking in Circles and Let Down are going to be the best songs on the album though.

Only if a studio version of said live performance exists, which in most cases is probably true (although we don't have the majority of those recordings), QWERTY being one of the few exceptions I can think of. A live recording itself isn't a demo though.

People always post fake leaks of highly anticipated albums, regardless of who the artist is.

It's pretty much the same lyrical content as Given Up with a couple of the words changed...? I don't see what's so hard to get about that. "What the hell is wrong with me" "What the fuck is wrong with me" "This isn't who I'm supposed to be" "Put me out of my misery"

Definitely my least favorite of the 4 released songs so far. Outside of the bridge which was kind of interesting, this song sounds like total filler to me - same filtered vocal "call and response" thing in the verses as My Suffering, and the line "What the hell is wrong with me/this isn't who I'm supposed to be" just screams "Given Up Part 2."

All the special editions did. I'm talking about the standard edition.

I gave Built From Scratch a spin earlier in his honor. R.I.P.

Not interested in any of this shortened song garbage, sorry. All 4 songs have been hacked to pieces.

Listen to Kenji, then listen to Hands Held High. Listen to Red to Black, then listen to From the Inside. Listen to Where'd You Go, then listen to In Between. etc...

Cool, I'd never seen Live in Texas, Collision Course, or The Rising Tied in jewel cases before. I don't see the Reanimation or Meteora ones very much either.

I don't see how you can consider anything performed live a "demo."

Cool to know we'll be getting a studio version of 20 Eyes, I bet they'll play it live too (I totally called that they'd do a cover). I wonder if any of the other Bucket of Weenies tunes will be revisited by DBS?

The only ones that would remotely qualify as "demos" that I can think of are the 2005 VMA score version of 100 Degrees, and the alternate version of Spraypaint & Inkpens that Lupe Fiasco leaked a while before We Major came out (it had a different ending than the mixtape version). Oh, and the early clips of Introduction and Remember the Name that were posted on the Fort Minor website when it was under construction, those were different than the final album versions too.

WAHHHHHHHHHH. There's been a whopping TWO "real" DBS shows announced, and you're already complaining. Unbelievable.

Possible video source for Mountain View '08? - It's at least a 3-cam mix (one cam is on the video screen, picture-in-picture style) with SBD audio overdubbed, seems likely that they filmed the whole show.

The new verses sound WAY more similiar to Little Sister than the old ones. And nobody was comparing the song to Little Sister when all we had heard was the '08 version anyway.
