Like I said on LPU, I'd be really surprised if Warner and Youtube don't reach an agreement about this soon. They both depend on each other too much to not work it out.

Mike submitted a playlist to MySpace for their series of "Featured Playlists" by respected artists. MySpace removed a few tracks and reordered them, so Mike made a post with the original lineup and links to where you can hear the rest of the songs here. This isn't as cool as his Muxtape series he was doing for a while, but it's alright. Pretty interesting rap.... SHINODA MIXTAPE 1. Crystal Castles - "Alice Practice" 2. Shy Child - "Pressure To Come" 3. Yourcodenameis:MILO - "I am connecting flight" 4. Millionaire - "Petty Thug" 5. Passion Pit - "I've Got Your Number" 6. Vampire Weekend - "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance" 7. Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal" 8. Glasvegas - "Daddy's Gone" 9. M83 - "Run Into Flowers" 10. Linkin Park - "Leave Out All The Rest (M. Shinoda Remix)"

*sigh* Don't remind me. I could have gone, but no, I just HAD to stay home and record the webcast instead, because I was paranoid that nobody else would do it (which they did of course), and I had no idea the whole show was going to be put up on AOL's website afterwards. It was the one Linkin Park "exclusive" that actually turned out to really be exclusive, and I missed it.

Of the bands I actually bothered to watch: 1. Linkin Park 2. Chris Cornell 3. Ashes Divide 4. Street Drum Corps 5. Atreyu 6. The Bravery 7. Armor For Sleep I really only enjoyed the first 4.

The fact that you can even hear the bass at all on a Linkin Park live recording is amazing enough.

The band, outside of Chester, hasn't had "energy" for the entire MTM cycle if you ask me. That's something I've come to accept, that their energy is only going to decrease with time. I can hear the guitar just fine on the '08 SBDs except for Maryland Heights '08 where Mike's guitar is completely missing. Again, with Chester as the exception, I think the band's performances were pretty consistent throughout the touring cycle. What the SBDs come down to for me are 1) how good Chester sounded on that particular night, and 2) how well the show was mixed. I've already said how I think Chester sounded really poor for almost the entire cycle and the only time he was consistently good was the first few European shows in January of '08. And I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Pooch that his SBD mixes have been getting better and better ever since he started doing them. The PR07 shows sound like crap to me because Pooch felt the need to crank up the crowd at certain points instead of just letting the crowd noise sound natural on its own. Not only does it sound completely artificial when he does it, but since he's cranking up the audience mics in the mix to do so, it makes the music sound like shit because all of a sudden the venue's natural ambience starts fucking with the way everything sounds. Essentially on the PR07 mixes, whenever Pooch cranks up the crowd noise, the recording literally goes from sounding like a SBD to an audience recording, and back again. Go to 2:06 of One Step Closer from Auburn and you'll hear exactly what I mean, that sounds so incredibly fake. And just listening to Auburn right now, I can tell you 2 things: Chester sounds like SHIT, and there is no fucking bass whatsoever on that mix. About all you can hear is the vocals, guitar, snare drum, and cymbals, and the crowd...when Pooch decides to crank it up.

Yeah, that OSC is from Detroit, they've just edited a couple things out that were present on the $2 Bill broadcast: Chester saying "thanks" over the intro, and Mike yelling "Detroit, let me hear you" at the end of the song. Chester does yell "thank you Detroit" after the song, it's just really quiet on the single version.

Chester was absolutely fucking TERRIBLE at Shadow of the Day, Leave Out All the Rest, and In Pieces when they started playing them in 2007. He got better at the first 2 as time went on though. And will you please quit talking about Auburn like it's the greatest fucking thing ever every chance you get? You've bitched about it on Pooch's blog a million times, you've posted about it on here a million times, you talk about that one show as if it's the only good performance the band has ever done. It's not nearly as great of a show as you think it is. It's poorly mixed (as all the PR07 shows are), and it's a mediocre (at best) performance by the band.

http://www.lplive.net/officiallive.php Road To Revolution CD / DVD (Milton Keynes 06.29.2008) - Incorrectly lists POA as both CD/DVD, it was just on the DVD. Also, unless you're counting the live video on the Japanese LOATR EP, LOATR from Milton Keynes was never released on a single. It was, however, released as a single on its own (with the studio version of LOATR as the b-side). Reanimation Bonus Version (iTunes Release) -One Step Closer (LP Underground Tour 2003 - show unknown) - Same recording from the Faint single, which you list as Detroit (though I'm not positive that's where it was from). Meteora Bonus Version (iTunes Release) -Easier To Run (LP Underground Tour 2003 - show unknown) - Same recording from the Numb single, which is from Worcester. LP Underground 6.0 -Pushing Me Away (Piano Version) (Osaka 08.12.2006 / Tokyo 08.13.2006) - I honestly don't think the one overdubbed line was taken from the show on the 12th, it's probably just pasted from elsewhere in the song. All the other LPU6 live tracks are edited in some manner as well.

You mean Easier to Run? There's no live version of Numb released on a single. And that audio of Easier to Run is from Worcester, 100%. You can't really call the Korn Unplugged show or STP at Edgefest "cancelled," because Chester was never confirmed to be taking part in Unplugged (the MTV article was just wrong), and Scott just invited him out on stage at Edgefest when he wasn't even there. For something to be "cancelled," it has to be planned beforehand. And Fell On Black Days is already mentioned in the info page for the Third Encore show.

Julien-K's Wikipedia page is updated frequently by the band themselves, and the account that they use to do so (Jkdjs) can be seen in the edit logs of the page. They didn't make that particular edit, but a whole bunch of the other information on there was done by the same IP address. Mike's remix of Death to Analog has been confirmed for months, regardless.

Uhh...why? It's a promo for Pro Tools 8, it serves absolutely NO PURPOSE as an LPU video. And just the fact that they used this song in this video pretty much guarantees that it WON'T be on the album and that we'll probably never hear the full thing. Warner would never let LP give people a preview of anything that had the slightest chance of making the album this early in the process. Ladies and gentlemen, we now have 2008/9's "Grecian." People will talk about it and wish for the full thing for years to come, and it'll probably never happen.

Camden if you dub Mike's verse in from one of the other shows.

http://lplive.net/shows/20070613.php Info for Source 4 - there's a small cut during TLTGYA. Also, there was no encore break at this show. Also, in general, a lot of the early 07 shows should probably have "Pushing Me Away" noted as "Pushing Me Away (Piano Version)," quite a few of them don't specify.

He's not screaming anything in particular at the very end, he does stuff like that all the time. I've heard him scream "breaking apart" at the very end of other performances though.

Alright, you asked for it, here's my list of every instance of editing that I've found so far. These were all done by opening up the DSP version of the song and the CD version of the song both in Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and panning one to the left and one to the right. In any spot where something is edited, it's instantly noticable because the two speakers don't match up: One Step Closer: -No apparent editing From the Inside: -First verse: "No surprise" / "And the lies" = Pitch-corrected vocals -First and second choruses = Various pitch-corrected vocal parts -Second verse: "Get back up on my feet, all I ever..." = Overdubbed vocals (Mike messes up on original) Somewhere I Belong: -Pitch-corrected vocals in second chorus/bridge/third chorus No More Sorrow: -Mike's out-of-tune guitar during intro (1:15-1:26 on DSP) is overdubbed -Various pitch-corrected vocals throughout the song Papercut: -Pitch-corrected vocals at end of second chorus ("beneath my skin") -Pitch-corrected vocals during bridge/outro Points of Authority: -Some weird out-of tune noise (guitar perhaps?) is removed during the outro (3:35 on DSP) Wake: -No apparent editing Given Up: -No apparent editing Lying From You: -Various pitch-corrected vocals throughout the song Hands Held High: -No apparent editing Leave Out All the Rest: -Pitch-corrected vocals during outro Numb: -Pitch-corrected vocals during bridge The Little Things Give You Away: -Minor pitch correction on a couple notes during guitar solo -Pitch correction on all 3 vocal parts at various points during outro (Chester, Mike, and Phoenix) Also, I know that Mike came in late on the entrance to his guitar part on Jigga What/Faint (as was kind of mentioned with the camera shot showing him without his guitar), and it was dubbed back in on RTR. Going by the DSP, he's supposed to come in at 1:12, but he doesn't come in until 1:19. It's completely fixed on the CD/DVD.

Yeah, this is actually from May of '07 before their first European tour after the album came out. It's from one of the Guitar World CDs, and there's more to it than that video shows. Here's the full video:

Uhh...someone's been living under a rock? Every LPU package since LPU6 has been sold through Best Buy. The LPU8 website is up now, by the way.

No, the brown thing (it's actually grey, the background makes it look brown) with the "Linkin Park" logo on it is the Superfan book, that's what it looks like when you take it out of the black slipcase.

Guys, there is NOTHING special or different about the 2 items offered in this package. It's Road to Revolution and the Minutes to Midnight Super Fan pack bundled together. What's so hard to understand about that?

It says NOTHING about Tequila Sunrise or Lil Bow Wow ANYWHERE in that article?

It was always LP/Busta/Spliff Star/Adam Monroe at the Projekt Revolution shows. Busta and Spliff Star were at the secret show, but he used a different keyboard player and I'm not sure who it was. It may have actually been Cool or Dre.

That's EXACTLY what it is. You're just getting the Super Fan pack for like half the price with this package. I wish I hadn't bought it when it first came out, because I'd totally buy it now. And they're probably doing this to get rid of the last of the Super Fan packs, I can't imagine they have too many left if they're willing to discount them this much.

That's the article about Mike working with Cypress Hill...?

Robert Plant was actually already starting to lose some of his range as early as like 1977, Led Zeppelin was already tuning down on some songs at that point to make it easier for him. You can actually fix vocal nodes without surgery too, you just literally have to go for months without talking at all and your vocal chords will slowly heal themselves. Another possibility is something called "adult puberty," it doesn't happen to every guy but some of them go through a period where their voice changes pretty significantly in their mid-late 20s/early 30s. Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria's voice dropped a ton in a span of just a few months between their 2nd and 3rd albums because of it. The main thing though, is everybody's voice changes throughout their entire life. Chester's not the same vocalist he was 10, 5, or even 2 years ago. That's pretty normal and I'm not going to knock him for that, I can accept the way his tone has changed. But the way he sounds right now makes me think there's something actually wrong with his voice, because he sounds so strained. If he's having trouble hitting his high notes, I don't understand why LP doesn't tune down half a step or something. They didn't have a problem doing it for Paul McCartney on Numb/Encore/Yesterday, so they should be able to do it for Chester. Chester's probably stubborn about it though. I've also seen some singers come back from having vocal problems. Paul Stanley from KISS had almost destroyed his voice from vocal nodes in the early 90s, but he managed to come back and sound about the best he's ever sounded from like 94-98, and he did so without surgery (he was also a lot older then than Chester is now). I'm sure Chester can sound better if he takes care of his voice the way he should.
