If you aren't capable of criticizing a band you love, you are not a "fan" in any way, shape, or form. You're nothing more than a sheep. Yeah, they had better shows. I think Milton Keynes is still a good show for a DVD though. They'll undoubtedly edit the show substantially more than it is on the DSP, so it's kind of a moot point what show is "better." They can make any show sound good with enough work. Visually, it should be a great DVD with the massive Milton Keynes crowd and the photogenic aspect of the venue (it's the same place Green Day's Bullet in a Bible DVD was filmed). I'm worried about the video editing more than anything. No slow-mo crap/inserting shots from different songs/seizure-inducing quick camera angle changes, please. In terms of summing up the entire Minutes to Midnight touring cycle with a single show, I think either this show or Madison Square Garden takes the cake.

A new instrumental track and some live stuff. Maybe No Roads Left.

If you're listening to it, it's Chester. There is no recording of Xero's version of Esaul that exists. All of the various A Place for My Head demos that circulate date from 1999-2000.

I think Shinoda is taking a stab at Warner. He knows they are in a fucked up situation right now, he knows the fans are pissed, he's letting us know they have so little control over things. I'd like to see them take some action and get the hell off of this shitty label ASAP. The fans are being treated like absolute crap here. Warner is guiding the LP fanbase ship right into a massive shipwreck. This is the most genius post I've ever seen by Mike, and it's got people buzzing. Everyone I've talked to, which is about 12 people, think the exact same as I do. LP is in a bad situation with this label. This could possibly be a result of the DBS situation, which is apparent IN MY OPINION that Warner has taken control of, renamed it, and fucked with it to get maximum profits, not wanting the same thing to happen with DBS as it did for FM. Shinoda is an absolute genius. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that Warner had anything to do with Dead By Sunrise being "renamed," when it is in NO WAY confirmed that it will even be renamed at all. You do know there's a band called Death Before Sunrise already, right? Even if Chester had been able to work out Level 7, it would have become a subsidiary of Warner, just like Machine Shop. There's no way an artist under contract with Warner can create a label of their own that is completely independent. That's just the way the music business works, nobody is "screwing anybody over." Warner recieved a ton of profits from FM, I have no clue what you're talking about...?

Record labels typically automatically own ANYTHING that was recorded by an artist while under contract with them. i.e. Warner owns all of LP's demos from all 3 albums, any unreleased Reanimation remixes, etc.

I don't see the LP album coming out until at least a year from now, I actually doubt very much that it'll be out in 2009. DBS tour would depend on how soon Chester gets it out and how far along the LP album is at that point. If he gets DBS out by spring, I would say there's a good chance of a tour.

DVD: Heineken Festival ‘08 FLAC: Any of the Japan '07 shows

Mike isn't talking shit about Warner at all, and LP isn't going to leave them. All he's really saying is that the music business today is in a vastly different place than it was 10 years ago. If LP was a new band coming up today, they'd probably do things differently. Linkin Park had their opportunity to get out of their contract with Warner in 2005. Now that they've re-negotiated a new contract, there's NO WAY it will happen until that contract ends. I guarantee that Warner essentially owns and controls everything related to the band now.

Chester appearing at Unplugged was nothing more than a rumor. I believe he was in the audience though. Korn's "Korn Kovers" compilation has been delayed indefinitely and will probably never come out, due to them recording it prior to their split from Sony. Sony probably owns the rights to it. Chester's vocals have also been long-rumored to have been removed from the final mix anyway.

there all live tracks, u tool. there not gona hav live tracks, and u just cant walk out and get there CD, u have to suscribe to the LPU.....im joining LPU8, i wish they wud send u old LPU cd's tho They never said that there will be NO live tracks on LPU8. They said that it's "not a live track compilation," meaning that there will be at least one non-live track on it. They could easily put 5 live tracks on the CD along with No Roads Left, and they would still be completely correct. I hope that doesn't happen and I really don't anticipate it being the case, but it's still possible, and no reason to call someone a tool.

He said they played it as Linkin Park. They would've still been Hybrid Theory at both of those shows. And LP isn't exactly good at remembering how often they've played something - go listen to QWERTY from Mountain View '07, Mike and Chester literally go back and forth for about a minute trying to figure out how many times they've played it. Mike thought they had only played it once before.

Bryson Jones - Crawling (Bluegrass version) - on the Frat Party DVD Deena Noroian - One Step Closer (Acoustic) - commonly mislabeled as No Doubt Jamelia - Numb Josh Groban - My December Flatline - In the End Silent System - In the End Myleene Klass - KRWLNG (Instrumental piano version) Richard Cheese - One Step Closer There are a lot more, but I think those are the most notable ones.

First of all, how do you plan on moving halfway around the world in 2 weeks? And even if you do, there is absolutely no way you're getting into this concert if you're not already a student at UNLV. Fall semester has already started, you can't just start going to school there now. The earliest you could become a student is like, January.

Mike doesn't say that those were the ONLY Xero songs. They asked for "some other Xero songs," and he mentioned 2.

It's not really even part of their set, it's just the last song played over the PA before they hit the stage. A lot of bands have a designated "last song" that's played before their set begins.

We've heard 4 songs by Xero, and only know of 6, one of which is nothing more than a title with no further information. Can you really accurately judge what Xero's entire body of music sounded like based on that? No. Xero could've written 10 more songs and half of them been ballads for all we know.

I would say the same thing if they hadn't dropped Reading My Eyes after Europe. Mike even dedicated a blog entry to the fact that they were playing the song, and they didn't even wind up playing it in the U.S.

Linkin Park has never covered Something I Can Never Have. They used the original Nine Inch Nails recording as intro music at some shows in 2004, but that's it. Wonderful, Dead and Bloated, and Man in the Box are not covers, they were performed by the original artists featuring Chester. Dark Lover is also not a cover because Cheez was a member of Bucket of Weenies. Anything, Anything was covered by both Grey Daze and Bucket of Weenies, but not LP.

This proves absolutely nothing. They could use a b-side/unreleased track for an interlude just as they could any other piece of music. That chat was in early 2006, and "probably 5 years ago" does not mean "we played it in 2000." Mike said on The Rising Tied commentary that they did a tour "in either 2003 or 2004" with Cypress Hill called Projekt Revolution. Cypress Hill was on Projekt Revolution in 2002. Just because Mike gives a timeframe doesn't mean that it's correct.

can you read?! Good to know the people are friendly here.

http://www.lplive.net/shows/20080722.php "'Petrified' verse 2 was over 'Points Of Authority'. There was nothing over the outro." This is incorrect. It was Verse 1, and There They Go was over the outro.

I tend to like stuff with dual meanings that sounds clever, stuff that references things that's over a lot of people's heads, or lines that you can quote in everyday speech that still sound profound: "Cokeheads couldn't do my lines" - Reading My Eyes "Got heads nodding like a Pez candy convention" - Fuse "Record industry rule 4,081: Question my intentions and your whole world is done" - Stick N' Move "We float overhead like a Space Odyssey monolith" - Dedicated "If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed" - And One "Peep the style and the kids checkin' for it/The number one question is how could you ignore it" - Nobody's Listening "So now every enemy, screaming insanity/All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me" - Get Me Gone "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die" - Hands Held High

^I'm guessing since it's a free show, there probably won't be any tickets and they'll need their college ID for entry. Most U.S. colleges have photo ID systems now.

I think it's more than just that. They just randomly played it 3 times in a span of a week in 2001, and never played it again. It's not like they played it for an entire tour, and it wasn't at the beginning of the tour that they played it either - there's no way they came up with it during rehearsals, so it must have been something they knew beforehand. The drums, guitar, and bass all flow together perfectly, and LP wasn't an improvisational band in the slightest in 2001, so it's HIGHLY unlikely they came up with it on the spot. It's probably part of an old, unreleased song, possibly even Pictureboard. It could also be some random Xero/Hybrid Theory song or a Hybrid Theory album b-side that we've never heard about. There's also the slight possibility of it being an obscure cover song. Brad, Phoenix, and Rob all obviously knew what they were playing, but Joe and Chester just improvised over it.

They didn't do it at the first Rock im Park show.
