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.

In theory, it should be easier to do for OSC, because NMS was downloadable content - the song files for that song are stored on your 360/PS3's hard drive. OSC is a stock song in the game itself, so the information for it is stored on the Rock Band 2 disc. I know there's a program for ripping songs from the Guitar Hero game discs (Guitar Hero Explorer a.k.a. "GHex"), but I have no idea if a variation of it exists for the Rock Band series.

I'm not quite sure what that means considering OSC hasn't been in a Guitar Hero game and only What I've Done and In The End are in GH:WT.I'm confused lol In the End is not in GH:WT. Only What I've Done is. http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76572

Standing in the Middle is on an LPU disc and the only member of Linkin Park on it is Mike. It'd probably be a big legal hassle to get Chris Cornell or Ashes Divide's people to agree to having one of their live performances on a Linkin Park CD though. I'd be fine with We Made It and Crawling with Chris Cornell being on there, and maybe one of the songs featuring SDC. I just hope LPU doesn't pull a fast one on us...they said that the LPU8 disc "is not a live track compilation or a Best Of CD," but technically they could put 5 live tracks from PR and the studio version of No Roads Left on it and they would be correct.

I see the In the End EP all the time at Best Buy and FYE. A little overpriced for a 7-track EP (since it's a Japanese import), but it's quite common to see it in stores.

There's one other key change that most people forget about, the demo of Points of Authority modulates up half a step (from Eb minor to E minor) during the "It's time to sink or swim" section, and then goes back to Eb after that. But yeah, I think it would be cool to see some more key changes, some more creative time signature stuff would be cool too.
