Astat

Since when was Mike's Dedicated verse at the Wake Up Show over the Fuse instrumental? That beat isn't even remotely similar, lol.

Literally the only thing Page plays in this entire video that I hear AT ALL in the final mix is the last sustained note with vibrato at the end of the guitar solo. There's a bunch of droning stuff in the outro that has Page's style all over it (which I did transcribe and cover), but it doesn't match up with what we see/hear in this particular video. I'm sure Page recorded multiple takes and what they ended up using in the final mix wasn't what they happened to show in the video. Not updating my tab because it's already correct. I still don't get how people don't hear Page singing the chorus...have you people ever listened to a single Helmet song in your life? I didn't even notice Mike's voice was still in there until I heard the acapella.

...And I was born when Reagan was President. Jeez you guys make me feel old sometimes, lol.

Joe Hahn will be playing a DJ set on May 9th at Rehab, the infamous "pool party" area of the Hard Rock Hotel/Hard Rock Cafe complex in Las Vegas. The event will take place at 11 AM, prior to Linkin Park's Rock in Rio USA performance later in the evening. Tickets can be purchased on the Rehab website here. The latest LPU email also mentions this performance, as 2 tickets for it will be raffled off at an LPU Meetup event on May 7th (also taking place at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas).

I think they used about 1% of Page's guitar work on the final track, lol.

Meh...VERY surprised they've elected to continue their relationship with VyRT after the absolute trainwreck that was the Hollywood Bowl live broadcast...must be some extra money in it for them, I guess.

Perhaps for ALTNC with Mike actually rapping on that song...still makes no sense for DTB because he never sings by himself on that one, he's either doubling or harmonizing with Chester the whole time. The appearance would be completely wasted, people would probably just think he's lip syncing (which he might as well be at that point...).

Makes no sense at all for Mike to do either one of the Aoki songs without Chester also present.

Meh. What Chester and Mike add to the song is fine with me. Everything else about this track is extremely forgettable. I've tried several times to get into Aoki's stuff and I've pretty much come to the conclusion that he's a great guy who puts on good shows and is smart at marketing himself...but he's just not particularly good at the kind of music that he makes. Pretty much any of the other "big-name" artists in the house/EDM style and all its subgenres (Avicii, Diplo, Skrillex, Zedd, etc.) do it better than Aoki. This song is basically one semi-interesting musical motif that SHOULD be about a 30 second portion of a bigger piece of music, that's somehow been drawn out to over 5 minutes in length. There isn't anything inherently BAD about what's in the song, it's just that what's there has no business lasting for as long as it does. The song really goes nowhere. ALTNC was way better. ...Now watch Geki accuse me of only liking Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Must be true, I'm on LPL right?

This looks and sounds like a bunch of guys who are too drunk to remember how to competently play music...and given that it's the RESQHOUSE, that's probably exactly the case.

None of the BOW songs were acoustic...

Because Chester Bennington is ten times the songwriter Ryan Shuck will ever be. The first Julien-K album had a handful of good songs on it, and they have not written a single good one since. When the most talented person in your band is your hired-hand keyboard player and he quits after one album because he doesn't think the music you're writing is any good, you might want to objectively think about whether or not what you're doing is any good at all.

Nope. First time to my knowledge that Chester's been seen with a Gibson acoustic. Probably one of Dean or Robert's guitars.

Benjamin was actually doing some bass teching for Robert. Dean's guitar tech has been with him for like 17 years or something crazy like that, lol.

Chester frequently sings at the absolute top end of his range in Linkin Park, lots of choruses with high B's and even a few C's here and there. Scott's natural vocal register sits about half an octave below Chester's, so what's high for Scott is pretty comfortable for Chester, and he doesn't have to push himself too hard most of the time. Some of the stuff on High Rise is higher, but they're only playing Out of Time live right now anyway.

They're all available in the U.S.

Originally uploaded in 2006/2007 again, check the dates of the comments. I understand why it seems odd that these are popping back up at this particular point in time, but it's not exactly evidence that there's actually any new music on the horizon (even though I believe there will be). FM's Youtube channel may have gone completely un-managed for years and they're just now getting around to restoring all of their old uploads that were lost.

Those aren't even new uploads, they're the same ones that have been on FM's Youtube channel for years (there's no way the RTN Highlight Reel video got 11 million views in 10 hours). Almost everything on the FM channel was removed during the WB/Youtube dispute in 2007 or so. We've seen in the past that Youtube gives high-profile music artists special editing/uploading options normal users don't have though (such as the New Divide music video on LP's channel being changed to the "non-Transformers version" in October but retaining the original upload date and view count), probably just another case of something similar, and they restored old videos for them.

Had most of the U.S. tour not gotten cancelled, I would have thought they'd be changing some stuff for these shows, but I think at the very least they'll stick with the same setlists (with FTI/APFMH) for the U.S. festivals. Maybe change a couple small things for Europe.

I have Spiritfall's entire discography somewhere...as in "somewhere on one of the two full spindles of unlabeled data CDs on my bookshelf" somewhere...

Ehh...depends. Sometimes I think Ethan gets a little too carried away with polishing things up in post-production. The amount of pitch correction on the vocals on the Monterry 2012 DVD is pretty excessive. The quality of the DSP mixes varied a ton over the years, I think 2008-2009 were the best. Does anybody have Mark's 2007/2008 DSP "best moments" compilations from years ago? There's a lot of stuff that could be added to this thread from those.

No...8/24/2007. I'm literally listening to it right now.

Busta got kicked off of Interscope in the middle of Projekt Revolution in 2008 because he got into a big argument with Jimmy Iovine. They pulled all his tour funding, so he had to go home. They also retained the rights to We Made It since it had already been released as a promo single on their label, so he couldn't release it on the album once he signed with Universal/Flipmode (the same went for the other promo single he released, Don't Touch Me). And yeah, he changed that album title a ton. It was Before Hell Freezes Over, then it was Back on My Bullshit (or B.O.M.B.), then it was Blessed, then he left Interscope and it reverted back to the second title, but as "Back on My B.S." instead. If there's some type of album advance with We Made It on it, it should be under the title "Blessed."

I always forget that the Moscow DSP ended up being released later on.
