Was fake, now it's real, Mike/LP management took it over apparently. Same thing happened on Myspace a few years ago. www.myspace.com/linkinpark used to be an unofficial page.

Nope, just said he knew what was on it. But even if he had, he works for them...he's not going to say anything negative regardless of what he really thinks. That's part of his job.

Adam from LPU HQ has said he already knows what will be on the LPU9 CD, meaning it's already finalized.

The LPU9 tracklisting has already been finalized, so this won't be on it.

There are three versions of Freestyle - The demo (which was on DJ Vice's Myspace), the album version, and the mixtape version.

This has been on there for several months, and has not been substantiated whatsoever.

So...I had no idea we had Palladia on my cable plan until my dad came downstairs earlier and was all "Hey did you see Linkin Park on the highlights from Sonisphere last night?" FML.

It's a U.S. show being aired on a U.S. network...Warner has never had a problem with that. It's only international shows that always get blocked from being aired/webcasted.

I think if Chester can guest on Where'd You Go and Enth E Nd at Fort Minor shows, Mike can remix a Dead By Sunrise song.

I just think that at this point, they don't have a lot of other stuff that they could release as b-sides, and a lot of what they might have is stuff that should probably wait until the album is already out (i.e. demos/remixes). At best, they could do another instrumental/acapella one like LP did with New Divide, but with DBS being more of a straightforward rock band, it doesn't make as much sense. I'm willing to bet there will be at least one Julien-K remix of a DBS song at some point in the future, and it'll probably wind up on a single if it's not released online.

As far as I know, the Without a Trace theme wasn't performed by LP, nor did they really have anything to do with its creation. The show's writers have stated that the theme song was intentionally made to sound similar to In the End, which is probably why LP are the credited songwriters.

"Trend?" That's funny, I could've sworn Linkin Park just released a single a couple months ago that had an instrumental and acapella as the b-sides. *facepalm* I don't get how the hell anybody would expect anything BUT live tracks to be the b-sides on a DBS single release at this point...they haven't done any remixes (other than Morning After which is 3 years old and officially available on CD already), they only have 2 songs officially available right now, and we don't know if they have any completed songs that didn't make the album other than Morning After, which is already a bonus track on 2 different editions of the album. Some people really expect way too much.

Well now that we're on the topic, I suppose I'll point out some of the ones I found a bit interesting... -Dedicated is officially only credited to Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn, despite the LPU 2.0 CD listing it as Shinoda/Hahn/Delson/Bennington. -Although Pheonix is listed as a co-writer for A Place for My Head, Forgotten, and Runaway in the Hybrid Theory booklet, he is officially only credited on A Place for My Head (the only song credited to all 6 members of LP plus Mark Wakefield). -Chester is actually not officially credited on Forgotten - it is credited as Shinoda/Wakefield/Hahn/Delson/Bourdon. He is credited on FRGT/10, however. -Forgotten's official legal title in the BMI database is still "Rhinestone," meaning the band didn't change the name of the song until after it had already been filed with the publisher. -H! VLTG3 is credited to LP (minus Phoenix), plus the 3 members of Brand Nubian, due to the sample used in the song. -Lupe Fiasco's "The Instrumental" is credited to Lupe, Mike, and a third unknown writer. -Opening and NTR\MSSION are credited solely to Mike Shinoda, which makes them the only solo writing credits on a Linkin Park album. -Despite only Mike, Chester, and Brad appearing on We Made It, all 6 members of Linkin Park are credited on the song, along with Busta Rhymes, Cool & Dre, and Edward Montilla (a frequent co-writer of some big hip-hop songs). -With You and WTH>YOU are credited to LP (minus Phoenix) along with John King, one of the members of the Dust Brothers. -The members of Linkin Park (minus Phoenix) are the officially credited writers of the Without a Trace theme song. -Morning After is credited to Chester and a second unknown writer.

Why are you surprised about either of these? Ryan Shuck just confirmed in the 98KUPD radio interview a couple days ago that Inside of Me is "like two and a half minutes long," and the live video of In the Darkness from the acoustic show has been going around for ages...

When you can provide a source, I'll change it. I haven't seen this video you're talking about and you're the first person I've ever seen mention it. "With very few exceptions outside of Phoenix not being credited on most of Hybrid Theory and Reanimation" - meaning there ARE exceptions, just not many of them. BTW, My December is credited to Shinoda/Bennington/Hahn/Delson/Bourdon, same as any other typical Hybrid Theory-era song. Same with Part of Me, Step Up, And One, and High Voltage. Carousel and Technique haven't been published through BMI so I can't check the songwriting credits on those, but I would assume they're the same.

Unless some kind of situation similar to She Couldn't happens where an internal acetate/CD-R promo pops up containing the song and someone snatches it off of eBay, I'd give it a definitive "no." Both the Linkin Park and Team Sleep camps have shot down hopes of it being released in the past. According to the Team Sleep side, it wasn't very good in the first place.

http://www.mtv.com/videos/the-hills-season.../playlist.jhtml - If you can tolerate watching an entire episode of The Hills and can somehow figure out which of the many songs in the episode is the right one, have at it. I haven't been able to do either. It's probably not a very long clip of the song and it may be background music with people talking over it anyway, so it's likely not even worth the trouble. List of all the songs in the episode: Sara Bareilles, "Vegas" KT Tunstall, "Hold On" Uncle Kracker, "Vegas Baby" Cartel, "Burn This City" Jesse Malin, "Dont Let em Take You Down" Fall Out Boy, "Thanks for the Memories" Foo Fighters, "The Pretender" The Skeptics, "She Was Hot" Kat Deluna (feat. Elephant Man), "Whine Up" Britney Spears, "Gimme More" Nelly Furtado, "Do It" Letters Lost, "Wish" Taxi Doll, "Sweetest Thing" HelenaMaria, "Let Me Breathe" David Condos, "Permanent (Smoking City)" Kelly Clarkson, "Be Still"

Considering Chester hadn't given any thought to Hybrid Theory's 10th anniversary prior to LPLive asking him about it in the interview we did with him, I wonder if he pitched the idea to the rest of the band? It'd be kind of cool if we gave them the idea.

I don't see how anyone would have an mp3 of a song that has not been released in any manner and will not be released at any point in the forseeable future. All members of Linkin Park are credited as equal co-writers of all of their songs, with very few exceptions outside of Phoenix not being credited on most of Hybrid Theory/Reanimation.

Uhh...no. This is just a really dumb idea, honestly. She Couldn't was a collaborative effort by Hybrid Theory as a band, Dead By Sunrise is Chester's solo project. Putting She Couldn't on a Dead By Sunrise album makes about as much sense as putting In the End on a Dead By Sunrise album. The "legal reasons" that they can't talk about it are due to sample clearance issues.

I think that one was only mentioned in one article, and it was about 2 years ago, so I really doubt it. The Timbaland one gained a lot of momentum after they did Bleed it Out together at the VMAs, but Phoenix said in an LPU chat a while ago that they hadn't worked together on anything to that point. Shock Value 2 has been delayed a bunch of times though, and Timbaland is still working on it, so the possibility is still there.

I've been keeping track of all of the confirmed and rumored LP-related collaborations for a while now, since there are quite a few of them. I figured I'd throw this up here as a reminder since some of these are pretty close to coming out... Metric - "Gold Guns Girls" remix - Release date: Unknown Mike remixed the song "Gold Guns Girls" as part of the theme for the Glorious Excess (Dies) art show. The remix is available for streaming on Mike's website, and Metric is apparently planning some sort of official release for the song, but no details on those plans are available yet. Uncle Kracker - Happy Hour - Album release date: September 15th, 2009 Joe Hahn co-wrote a song called "Vegas Baby" for this album, and probably performed on it. It was featured in the "What Happens in Vegas" episode of The Hills a while back, and is listed in BMI's catalog database. However, the album was heavily re-written over the past year or so, and a bunch of tracks were cut. This song isn't on the final tracklisting, so it looks like it may never come out, but I'm making note of it here anyway. Apathy - Wanna Snuggle? - Album release date: October 6th, 2009 Mike Shinoda produced a track called "Shoot First" for this album. Kenna - MSTSMF Outtakes - Album release date: Late 2009? Kenna has confirmed that there will be a track featuring Mike Shinoda on this. Kings of Leon - Remix album (title TBA) - Album release date: Fall 2009? One of the remixes on this album involves Linkin Park in some way, presumably Mike and/or Joe. Cypress Hill - (Album title TBA) - Album release date: Late 2009? Mike has confirmed that he produced a track for this album. There were rumors a while back about an LP-related collaboration on Timbaland's Shock Value: Volume 2 album, as well as a collaboration with Akon. Both of these are extremely unlikely at this point, but have not been confirmed or denied. There was also a rumor of a collaboration/Mike Shinoda production on Lil Jon's Crunk Rock, but that turned out to be untrue.

I love how there's literally one shot of Fu in the entire video. He's like the new Phoenix!

Uhh...Linkin Park has 6 members, and Dead By Sunrise has 6 members. Which is exactly why I said they'd do a new take on an LP song. There are plenty of LP songs without rapping, and Fu does a lot of sampled stuff just like Mr. Hahn does anyway, he doesn't just play keyboards. Ryan and Amir's guitar tone in DBS isn't all that different from LP's - they even used LP's amps during their performances on this past tour. Chester is the voice of Linkin Park. Provided they do a song that doesn't have rapping in it, everything else is secondary and doesn't matter nearly as much. I have a feeling they'll play Anything, Anything though. Just a hunch. Chester obviously LOVES that song, he covered it with both Grey Daze and Bucket of Weenies.
