The 2003 UK tour version of Nobody's Listening sampled "The Seed 2.0" by The Roots/Cody ChesnuTT. There's some other stuff in there too...I want to say part of it might come from the beat to 50 Cent's "In Da Club," but I'm not totally sure.

http://lplive.net/wiki/db/releases/live-around-the-world-series While Blackout is labeled as being from Hamburg 2011 on the A Thousand Suns: Live Around the World release, the recording is in fact from Sydney 2010.

The demo version of Points of Authority comes to mind as an example of this.

Probably depends on which remixes needed multis and which ones didn't. Like on Frgt/10, the beat is all new and the only sampled stuff is Chester's vocal from the original, so they probably just used an acapella making that one.

Seems like there are probably CD-Rs of all of the Hybrid Theory multitracks out there somewhere...probably what was sent out to the artists doing remixes for Reanimation. Hmm...

Bumping this one for an obvious edit: Hurry (alternate/extended mix) The last 20 seconds or so deviate a little bit from what's heard on the LPU 15 version of the track, sounds like it goes back through another repeat of the chorus guitar riff from So Far Away, where the released version of the track goes straight to the bridge section. They probably just edited the track down a little bit when they released it. Also: I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but this little joke song is also commonly referred to as "Nondisclosure Agreement" by a lot of people. I guess either "title" works, but it might be a good idea to try to settle on one. *Edit* I guess I'm just going to keep working through these videos even though this project seems dead at the moment... This is just one of the sampled drum beats from In the End. I feel like some of the other "unknown" beats in this video might be from Coal and/or Pods too? Not 100% sure. Same can be said for some of the beats in Episode 7 (Meteora Photo Shooting).

Good catch on the Sugarhill Gang beat sample, but we already established that the vocal sample comes from High Power Rap by Disco Dave and the Force of the Five Emcees/Crash Crew (which was later quoted in the song you posted): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOXoyST9ux8 If you speed up the High Power Rap intro it sounds way more like what Joe used.

I don't know that they actually were, but the version of Blackbirds released with 8-Bit Rebellion is 100% identical to what's heard on the Making of Minutes to Midnight, and it got live strings put on it...so that was a finished song by default, and it's not like they had anyone else mixing their material on that album.

Was it even said that the song was GOING to be a single in the first place? All I ever saw Martin mention of it was that it leaked and would "probably just be on the album." That says to me that there was never a concrete plan for it to be a single in the first place. I think people have been blowing his reaction out of proportion since day one.

I'm not. http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12131&do=findComment&comment=262170 Mike manages to contradict himself in that short of a video. He says that it was cut at the last minute during mixing, but then also says the song "never made it past demo phase." It can't be both. And again, anything that got a final mix has Neal Avron credited on it, which is true of Blackbirds, No Roads Left, Across the Line, What We Don't Know, and The Last Line/Ammosick. I realize Chance of Rain is a fairly recent release and full production credits may not surface for a while (if at all), but so far, it doesn't seem to hold up to the other 5 in terms of circumstantial evidence. I think Chance of Rain sounds WAY more unfinished than the others, too.

I know for a fact there's an audio glitch after We Made It on one of the PR08 shows (I think it's Burgettstown), where Chester refers to Busta Rhymes as "one of the best rappers alive" and there's a big skip in the middle of the word "rappers." I don't think this is something fixable though, as I recall going on the downloads site and re-purchasing the show myself, only to find the exact same audio glitch in the same spot. So if anybody notices that, it's probably like that on the original source for whatever reason.

Best guess? The version that got out was an inferior transfer. Pretty sure everything that's been released was 128 kbps, and I doubt the original source is at that low of a bitrate.

It was probably already a 12-track album at that point. WB didn't feel like the album had a clear contender for a first single, so they went in and did WID at the last minute. Mike's on record as saying Across the Line was the last song they cut, that was probably the song that got shuffled out when WID was added to the tracklisting.

A.06 has also been released from that show, as well as instrumental soundcheck versions of Faint and From the Inside. The whole thing is out there.

Yeah...I've been part of the LP online community since mid-2003, and I got into the trading community by the end of that year or early 2004 (I got lucky and was one of the first people that got the Los Angeles 2004 show from JoshW, and I traded that to a bunch of people and got a TON of stuff, probably half my live show folder can be traced back to obtaining that one show), and I remember even THEN that the fabled "Xero live show VHS that was sold on eBay" was already being talked about as something that had happened before I was around. It was that same fake "Lynus Brook Club" show/date with the fake setlist that included The Team, Explode, Rhinestone Part 2, etc...It definitely wasn't 2006. That was such a slow year news-wise that anything like that would have been HUGE news in the community, hundreds of people watching the eBay auction, etc...I was around then, it didn't happen, trust me.

Smokeout 2003, full Top of the Pops 2003 proshots come to mind, but I wouldn't put either one on the same level as the full 2 and a half hours of raw rehearsal footage Ostrick filmed, particularly with many of the songs still being in an early form...then again, Felipe usually has leads on stuff that nobody else knows exists, so who knows.

Codex Lockout Studios - Located at 6330 Hollywood Blvd., in the Hollywood/Vine/Ivar block, directly across the street from the Church of Scientology building that you can see in the background of the "parking ticket" incident in the Ostrick video. This almost HAS to be where their rehearsal space was (although it may have been operating under a different name at the time). http://codexlockoutstudios.com/ *Edit* There is/was a "Hi-Fi Hollywood Rehearsal Studio" operating at the same address as well...This building houses multiple businesses, so it might be another rehearsal studio operating at the same location, or it might be the same thing as Codex. There's also a recording studio in the same building called Hollywood Tracks Studio.

That was in 2005, and I've still never tracked down said "reliable interview," so... Also, I lose about a dozen brain cells every time I see someone refer to that track as a Session demo.

Could possibly be referring to Suicide Music as well, although that's a significantly longer gap between the interview and the Raid soundtrack release. I'd say it's probably the Wretches remix.

Not really a correction or anything but just an interesting factoid that I didn't feel went in any other thread: Ryan's, the venue in St. Paul that LP played on their first tour in 2000 (http://lplive.net/shows/db/2000andearlier/20000802), was also known as "Ryan's Corner," and later became the Station 4, where Fort Minor played in 2006. This venue closed in June of 2013, originally due to what they claimed were building renovations, but never reopened. The building was condemned by the city about a year ago and is now just sitting there empty. It's within walking distance of where I go to college now, lol.

Had to be 2000 if the 18th was on a Thursday.

It's mentioned in the re-issue insert.

A+ quality post here that absolutely contributes to the discussion of unreleased Linkin Park songs. Bravo.

Why so cryptic about where this is from when you state it outright in the description for this promo on the LPC website? I mean props for finding it and all and I get that watermarked discs are more iffy to release material from than a typical promo, but I feel like you're kind of giving people false hope about it when you guys are probably the only active people in the community with a copy of this promo CD anyway.

I have to say, I'm really impressed with how low-key Screaming Giant has been about the Snax/Linkin Park connection over the years. They could very easily hype the hell out of it and try to boost sales, but they've always treated their two albums the same as anything else in their back catalog. Very modest and respectful of them.
