Cool stuff, nice to see an album title, and I was kind of anticipating that DBS might make an appearance at the opening of the new Club Tattoo in Vegas. I'm just wondering how they're going to schedule DBS tour dates, since Julien-K is already doing a pretty extensive tour this fall.

I can see them opening shows with New Divide, the intro has the kind of buildup in it that goes along with the beginning of a show. If not, it could be the first song after the encore break.

There's only one guitar part in this song, I'm 99.9% sure that it'll just be Brad on guitar when/if they play it live. There are a TON of keyboards/synths buried in the mix, plus the bass part has some distortion on it, so that's where the "rhythm guitar" type of sound comes from. FYI the thing at the very beginning and end of the song is synth, not guitar. ...There is not a SHRED of punk in this, or any other Linkin Park, song. And Linkin Park has been a band with pop characteristics since 2000. Get with the times much? Papercut ending - 2 harmonized vocal parts that are both doubled, plus the rap part = 5 vocal parts One Step Closer chorus - Chester singing part (doubled), Chester screaming/rapping part (doubled) = 4 vocal parts With You chorus - Doubled Chester lead vocal part + background harmony + Mike = 4 vocal parts I think you get the idea. 1. I don't give a fuck what country you're from, learn to speak English at least semi-coherently or don't bother posting your bullshit on an English-speaking website. 2. Mr. Hahn is ALL OVER this song. You're clearly one of those people who thinks that all Joe does is scratch. He will have a TON of stuff to do when they play this one live, there are all kinds of sampled parts, chopped-up guitar stuff in the breakdown, synth loops, etc. 3. MIKE SHINODA IS NOT JUST A RAPPER. And finally... "Is not LP" - Who the hell do you think you are, that YOU have the ability to determine what is and is not Linkin Park? Linkin Park music is whatever kind of music Linkin Park wants to make, not what people like you think they should make. If Linkin Park listened to people you, they would be about as popular as fucking Limp Bizkit right now.

You will be disappointed with everything this band does until the day they break up or the day you die, whichever comes first. Guaranteed. They're never going to make Hybrid Theory Part 3/Meteora Part 2 like you want them to. I don't think it's the greatest song either. The difference is, I have an open mind. You, on the other hand, think that anything that doesn't sound like One Step Closer or Somewhere I Belong is "disappointing."

Working on it right now. Yes, it's easy, the guitar part is all octaves, except I have no idea what the hell happens during the breakdown. Lots of chopped-up and pitch-shifted weirdness going on there. Working on that too.

There is one part that sounds a LOT like WID to me, at 3:18 where they play the chorus without drums, that's almost the exact same thing that happens in WID after the guitar solo. But otherwise, it doesn't remind me of WID much. This song has a lot more of an industrial feel to it.

WTF @ the weird out-of-tune guitar breakdown, lol. Sounds like something out of a Nine Inch Nails song.

June 8th will probably be the CD single release date too, so you're getting more by waiting.

Alright, you got me on that one, you were talking about Phoenix, then you said LP in general had good basslines at that time, then you talked about Phoenix again. I don't get why people say Carousel has such a good bassline though, it's literally 2 notes for the entire song.

LP has never really released their box office sales to the public like some other bands do.

Megatron is one of the characters in Transformers. One of the many interpolations in the movie will probably be "Megatron's Theme" or whatever. There'll probably be an Optimus Prime theme as well, etc. Yeah, the one in the trailer is a little fast. The song's in the key of F minor, but the one in the trailer is just a little sharp, it's above F but below F#. FYI, What I've Done is not in the same key as New Divide, WID is in G minor. Phoenix didn't play on the Hybrid Theory EP... *facepalm* No.

It was recorded at a studio in Nashville, TN.

Did you not read my post? CHESTER DOES NOT SING ON THIS SONG, PERIOD. I can't believe this song was released over 7 years ago and people still think Chester's on it. It doesn't even fucking sound like him.

Haha, wasn't it like a month ago that I went, "Hmm, I wonder if they'll hit up China later in August since they'll already be in Asia for the Summer Sonic shows?" I'm a bit puzzled about the announcement saying 8 countries, because they've already announced shows in 11 different countries for this summer. And is this city spelled "Macao" or "Macau?" It's the same location as the cancelled show from October, but all the announcements spelled it as "Macau" then.

Don't worry, I'm probably hitting up the bar with a friend before the end of the weekend.

From the description, it sounds like this one might be worth getting (it'd be the first unofficial double DVD, I'm pretty sure). I'd still be wary of it though.

Uhh, yes it is...

Thanks everybody, and thanks Mark for the show. P.S., I'm not drunk. *Italian accent* You, shut up-a-yo face.

I find it strange that those 2 tapes would sell for so much during a period of relative inactivity. I was checking some other eBay auctions recently and the majority of them had no bids, or were selling for way less than I've seen them sell for in the past. I've seen sealed LPU3 discs sell for almost $100 around the start of the MTM cycle, but now nobody even bids on them.

No. Chester sang the song live with Adema at least once, but he is not featured on the studio recording.

Or...since this is the theme song for the movie, maybe the song title is related to the movie's theme? Just a guess.

They work on so many songs simultaneously during the recording of an album anyway, I doubt this affected the album's schedule much.

Well, a couple people got ripped off on those. I wouldn't even put those 2-track cassettes ahead of the HTEP in terms of worth, let alone in competition with a Xero tape.

Uhh, just a little.

You can hear Brad turn the volume knob on his guitar back up at the end of the bridge, the last chord fades in, which means it was done intentionally. People pointed out that Chester skipped vocal parts of a bunch of songs after he broke his wrist like, as soon as they got back from the show the night it happened. Phoenix '07 and Tampa '07 are two more examples of Brad not playing the first half of the second verse of Don't Stay, that I can think of off the top of my head. I know there are more.
