Ahh, hadn't seen that, guess that means the UK release date was pushed back to the 22nd or 23rd then. Jeez, there have been so many repeated delays with almost everything regarding this song, whoever's in charge of setting LP's release dates these days really needs to get fired.

It already is out. It's been out since the 12th in Germany and the 16th in the UK.

It's already been confirmed that New Divide shows up well over a dozen times in the movie. The film score CD is NOT indicative of all of the music that will be heard during the film itself, it never is.

Or maybe the rest of the LP music in the movie is just direct samples of New Divide, rather than new music built around it, which is pretty much what they've been saying all along. It's already been confirmed that New Divide shows up in the movie like 16 times. Has ANYBODY bought the single yet? I'm amazed the instrumental/acapella still haven't leaked anywhere.

The film score has leaked, just figured I'd let people know if they didn't already. "Nest" is the only piece on the score that features any elements from New Divide, I'm assuming the rest of the interpolations of the song in the movie will just be direct samples from the song itself.

Somebody should probably add the upcoming Dead By Sunrise show to the Chester section at some point. July 4th - Steve Wyrick Theater, Las Vegas, NV (Club Tattoo opening party) Or something like that. Unless you're planning on making a dedicated DBS section since there will probably be a substantial amount of DBS live appearances coming up in the not-too-distant future. Also, that instrumental piece after Breaking the Habit at West Palm Beach '07 that was mentioned a few posts back, that was actually Brad messing around with the notes from the first guitar solo in Shadow of the Day (which was the next song). Brad does that occassionally, I've heard him do similar things prior to songs like Numb and Breaking the Habit in recent years, and songs like High Voltage and In the End farther back. On this occasion though, Rob and Phoenix decided to join in and jam along with him a bit.

Having seen QWERTY live myself and not being particularly impressed with it, I'll go with No Roads Left. If they'd settle on playing QWERTY the same way they played it in '06 or just playing the studio version live, instead of the weird combination version they did in '07, my opinion might change.

The "epic" comment was referring only to New Divide/Transformers, not the new album.

You're not going to get confirmation from LP, 1 because they shouldn't have to confirm something that's obvious to the naked eye, and 2, because it's not important. They used all kinds of props from the movie itself in the video, why the hell would it have been so hard to film Megan Fox lip-syncing the song at some point between the song coming out and the video shoot? Her parts in the video that aren't excerpts from the movie itself could've been filmed in about 5 minutes. The idea that they'd use Talinda as a stand-in for Megan Fox is absolutely ridiculous, she looks nothing like her.

There is bass in the song, 100%. Why would they have filmed a bunch of shots of him playing bass for the individual shots on Day 1 and used some of them in the video? Your argument makes absolutely no sense.

I'd appreciate somebody PM'ing this to me too, as once again, nobody on LPU has even MENTIONED the chat with Joe since it happened, let alone posted a transcript. Same thing happened with the Brad chat.

I haven't seen many reviews of songs that refer to the guitar track in a singular form, regardless of how many individual parts are in the song. Plus any professionally-recorded song with distorted guitar parts has more than one guitar playing on the track due to doubling and whatnot. There are at least 3 guitars playing on the studio version of New Divide even though there's only one part. If there was more than one part, somebody other than Brad would be playing guitar in the video.

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Don+Gilmore That was the third result when I searched his name, he's produced a lot more than that.

They said LPU8 would be unique, and it WAS unique. They said RTR would have extras, and regardless of how lame the 3 tracks at the end was, they still are, by definition, "extras." They didn't lie a single time about either of those products, end of discussion.

And the point of that was...?

I think he's currently working on some stuff with Bullet For My Valentine, and he produced a few tracks on Hollywood Undead's last album. He's kind of fallen off the map a bit, he's not nearly as in-demand as he was a few years ago.

If it's anything like the "death drop" stunt I'm thinking of, it's one of those things that looks spectacular but really isn't all that dangerous. Plus Chester might not even be the one doing the stunt.

Bob Ezrin did The Wall by Pink Floyd and a bunch of Alice Cooper's stuff. He's also worked with Janes Addiction, Deftones, and 30 Seconds to Mars in the past few years.

And the perpetual naysayers come crawling out of the woodwork once again. If every Linkin Park video was just a straightforward performance video, you'd still be whining. Fact. And please, tell me where there's CGI in the Somewhere I Belong video? Because I've probably watched that video close to a thousand times, and I see nothing but live action shots. Also, for everyone asking, yes, that's Megan Fox in the video. Just because she wasn't on the set the 2 days that the band shot the video doesn't mean that they couldn't film her singing the words to the song some other time and stick it in the video.

All the Dead By Sunrise songs are songs that Chester wrote by himself, mostly on acoustic guitar.

If you rip the .FLV from the Myspace player, the transitions are just fine. Myspace's player is just such a resource hog (as is Myspace as a whole) that it slows everything down. I'm sure the massive number of people viewing the video on their Myspace page right now isn't helping playback either.

Ahh, well that's the bridge, not the "main riff." Looks like he's just aimlessly knocking on the guitar to me, which is pretty much in line with what's going on at that point in the song - the guitar part has been chopped up and warped almost beyond recognition. If you watch my guitar cover for that song, I just made up my own part for that section because I have no idea how it's really played. I have a feeling Joe will scratch that part live or Brad will make up something new, we'll have to wait and see.

Err...what are you talking about? At no point in the video do I see Brad playing the main synth riff on guitar, nor does he do anything remotely close to what he does in Figure.09 at any point.

No, Warner is the label for the score, soundtrack, everything. Reprise = owned by Warner. It's just like Machine Shop. Everything released on Machine Shop is still on Warner.

It'd be nice if this would load for me. Myspace Video rarely, if ever, works for me. Doesn't matter if it's IE or Firefox either.
