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.

And there's also Mike's unreleased remix of Death to Analog by Julien-K. I have a feeling that'll wind up on the Death to Digital remix album though.

You can hear the first couple notes of the Breaking the Habit piano intro on the fade-out at the end of My December, but that doesn't help much since those 2 songs were always paired together on the arena tours.

I haven't seen that LPTV episode in a while (which one is it?), but I seem to remember that that line didn't match up with what was going on in the video at all, I always thought it was footage from one of the other songs they did. Chad, not Brad.

That was a random fan from the crowd, I'm pretty sure. This can't be called a "featuring" because it was just the X-Ecutioners (and only 2 of them) playing a short DJ thing in the middle of LP's set by themselves. Cool, never noticed that one before. This is unconfirmed, and I personally don't think it happened. I mean, even Pooch incorrectly stated after MSG that the last 3 songs of LP's set were done with Jay-Z, and we know he didn't do anything during Bleed it Out. I would guess the same thing happened with OSC at Holmdel.

Being out-of-tune is a scientific matter of sound waves and such, not a matter of me being "too critical." Chester's vocal parts are routinely not being sung at the pitch that they're supposed to be. If that wasn't true, they wouldn't have had to auto-tune him on nearly every song on Road to Revolution. Yes, Breaking the Habit at Live 8 was actually pretty good. But I can't even LISTEN to most of the rest of that show because Chester is so unbearably flat. He's literally almost half a step flat on the chorus of Lying From You. I'm a professionally-trained vocalist who's been singing a variety of styles of music for about 13 years, thanks. I don't have the power that Chester does, I can't scream the way he does, and I'd probably lose my voice faster than he does if I tried to sing through an entire Linkin Park performance, but the bottom line is that Chester's pitch control is terrible, his voice sounds a lot weaker than it did a few years ago, and it's pretty damn easy to notice. He's routinely between a quarter and half step flat on a lot of his vocal parts, and it's become more and more frequent within the past couple years. My honest opinion? Chester's probably developing nodes on his vocal chords. I've seen numerous cases of it happening to other rock vocalists, and their symptoms were pretty much the same as Chester's: Loss of vocal power and pitch control. I certainly hope that's what it is, becaue vocal chord nodes are a fixable medical condition, and Chester could concievably get back to the form he had in 2004. If he's just flat-out losing his voice, though, it may only continue to get worse.

Lady Sovereign: I do remember hearing about this back in like 05 or 06, but as far as I'm aware nothing ever became of it. Chali 2na: 4 GT 10 (a slightly different version of FRGT/10 from Reanimation) was on Chali 2na's Fish Market mixtape several years ago. The mixtape was supposed to be a precursor to his album, which was going to be called Fish Outta Water. That album never came out, and I don't recall hearing that Mike was for sure going to be on it anyway. My understanding was that the collab was just 4 GT 10. I've never heard anything about Mike collaborating with Tequila Sunrise or Lil Bow Wow before. Source? There's also a remix of an unknown U2 song that Mike did in 2005, maybe even before that, that's never been released, it was mentioned on the Fuse interview where he announced the Fort Minor project in early '05, as well as in several other articles/interviews.

Chester hasn't really been "good" for most of his career. He was really unpredictable vocally in 2000-2001, sometimes he sounded good but sometimes he downright sucked (Crawling from Pittsburgh '01 for example - his voice cracks like he's 13). He was pretty good in 2002, then kind of rough again for the first part of 2003. Late 2003-pretty much all of 2004 was when he was at his best for the longest period of time. He was really bad at Live 8 in 2005, but really good at the Japan shows in 2006. As for the MTM cycle, the only time he sounded even DECENT was parts of Projekt Revolution 2007 and the first few Europe shows in January of '08. The entire rest of the cycle, he's been absolutely terrible in my opinion. Yes, Chester's an amazing singer, IN THE STUDIO. Live, he's usually not that great. And you do realize that they edited the HELL out of his vocals on Road to Revolution, right? That's the only reason he sounds good (he still doesn't sound that good to me even with all the editing). His screaming voice is shot all to hell, and all the raspiness that makes his aggressive singing sound good is pretty much gone. He IS getting worse, it's crazy to think that he isn't.

There's a few errors in these, but they're pretty close. I'll just paste mine: You Ain't Gotsta Gotsta: Hey, yeah! You ain't gotsta gotsta Ow, good golly! You ain't gotsta gotsta me Hey, yeah!

Yeah, the last line is "stand alone on the outside. Other than that it's just the same lyrics but with several parts cut out from the EP version.

That's only for the CD. The full set could have easily fit on the DVD, and splitting them up like that takes up MORE space.

For fuck's sake, the admins told you to stop. Will someone please ban your ignorant ass already?

And so was Frat Party. Anyone who bought Frat Party but is complaining about this CD is a hypocrite. It's a sticker.

You know, this IS the first LPU CD that's made up entirely of new, previously unreleased content. And I'm slightly confused...everybody's been begging for a Frat Party 2 or a full version of The Wizard Song for years, everyone loved Barack Your World, everybody loves the silly shit on LPTV, what's so bad about a CD of joke songs?

I think they're talented too. I just think they'd never have gotten noticed if it wasn't for Chester.

HBO Reverb. It's actually more like: Linkin Park feat. Marky Chavez from Adema and Wes Scantlin from Puddle of Mudd - One Step Closer Also, same show: Linkin Park feat. Rakaa and Evidence from Dilated Peoples - High Voltage

Actually, all the backstage footage that was shown before the Clarkston show was recorded at previous shows. The backstage PMA video and the part about the syrup shots were from Cuyahoga Falls. Some of it apparently wasn't recorded by anybody who ripped the webcast though. I remember watching it live and there was one part where Phoenix was messing around with his mic stand during soundchecks for Hands Held High, saying stuff like "I only get a microphone on 2 songs, I have to make the most of it."

http://lplive.net/shows/20040118.php - Mention that Sonny is from P.O.D. http://lplive.net/shows/20040123.php - Sonny from P.O.D. came out on One Step Closer http://lplive.net/shows/20040124.php - Sonny from P.O.D., Doug from Hoobastank, and Dan from Story of the Year came out on One Step Closer http://lplive.net/shows/20040129.php - Sonny from P.O.D., Doug from Hoobastank, and Dan from Story of the Year came out on One Step Closer http://lplive.net/shows/20040202.php - Sonny from P.O.D. and Dan from Story of the Year came out on One Step Closer http://lplive.net/shows/20040205.php - Sonny from P.O.D. and Doug from Hoobastank came out on One Step Closer http://lplive.net/shows/20040315.php - Sonny from P.O.D. and Dan from Story of the Year came out on One Step Closer What's the deal with almost the ENTIRE Meteora World Tour missing info about collaborations? o.O Also: http://lplive.net/shows/20011116.php - Info needs to be changed. Jeanne was not pulled up on One Step Closer, she was pulled up on Crawling and stayed on the stage for the rest of the show. A different girl was pulled up on One Step Closer. And the info about Chester's oral sex comment needs to be removed, as that took place during Dead and Bloated in STP's set (as mentioned on the Chester page for that show).

He came out at NUMEROUS Meteora World Tour shows. The info pages on here for almost that ENTIRE tour are missing information on collaborations for some reason. I posted about it in the corrections thread.

Not long at all. LP posted how to access them on LP.com right when the DVD came out.

I'd say 80% of the people who know Julien-K exists only know about them because of their involvement with Chester/LP. I'm certainly one of them. Being on PR07, doing the MSI and Morning After remixes with Chester, the DBS project, etc...just about every big project they've been involved with had something to do with Chester/LP. I mean hell, they remixed an Avenged Sevenfold song, and even my friend who is the biggest A7X freak in the world had no idea about it. The only reason Julien-K was on the main stage at PR was because they're such good friends with Chester. The only reason Julien-K got on a big tour with Evanescence was because they were on a big tour with LP. The only reason Julien-K toured with MSI is because MSI discovered them while touring with them on PR07...you see where I'm going here. I mean hell, even WITH Chester's support, they STILL haven't gotten a record deal! How are they supposed to "make it on their own" when they can't even get signed with one of the biggest singers in modern rock supporting their every move? The remaining people who know about them are Orgy fans. And from what I've seen, a LOT of old Orgy fans HATE Julien-K and just want Orgy to get back together. Julien-K does not have that big of a fanbase, and what they do have is mostly made up of LP fans or people who know about them as a direct result of their involvement with LP. I firmly believe that had Chester never gotten involved with them, Amir and Ryan would have gone back to Orgy a couple years ago when they realized that their side project wasn't going anywhere. They'd be playing in little clubs for a couple hundred people if it weren't for Chester.

Yes, it's true, that was at the Detroit show of Projekt Revolution 2002. It was actually several members of D12 and not just Eminem, I don't know if Eminem was actually even one of the members who came out. *Edit* And it's already in the list anyway. Also: Linkin Park feat. Dan from Story of the Year - One Step Closer MWT shows had various combinations of Dan from SOTY, Sonny from POD, and Doug from Hoobastank on OSC every night.

It's just the CD mastering. Commercially released CDs these days are pushed to be as loud as possible (check out the Wikipedia article for "loudness war"), so when they're mastered, they put a ton of compression on them to make the quiet parts louder, but in the process, the loud parts clip - they hit the level where sound waves get squared off at their highest peaks, which results in distortion. Here's some comparison screenshots of One Step Closer from the DSP vs. the RTR CD: DSP: CD: As you can see, the CD is much more of a solid wall that's constantly right on the maximum, which is why it's so much more distorted.

Chester's voice has been doing nothing but getting worse since 2006, in my opinion. 95% of the editing done on RTR is pitch-correcting his out-of-tune vocal parts. The only time on the entire Minutes to Midnight cycle that I didn't think Chester's voice sucked was the middle part of PR07 (roughly Phoenix through Toronto), and the first few Europe shows in January of '08 (Hannover through Bercy).

I find it pretty hilarious that Julien-K fans hate Chester when they wouldn't even have a career without him.
