  1. Absolutely doesn't predate the demo tape. This was after they signed their publishing deal. The demo tape was literally just Mike and Mark on everything except Rhinestone, there wasn't even a "band" yet. We don't know a lot about the timeline between the demo tape and when Chester joined, but Dave was either in and out of the band at different points due to his involvement with the Snax, or he didn't join until after the rest of the band had been put together. It's entirely possible he wasn't even their first bass player.
  2. Released June 6th, 2007 on sectorseven.org as part of the ARG promotion leading up to the release of the first Transformers film. No idea who actually performs on it, it was released under the name "Deceptibot" which was a band that "existed" within the ARG itself, the backstory was that it was some of Sector Seven's IT department that also played in a band. In reality it's probably just a collection of some of the people who worked on the score for the movie. https://www.joblo.com/movie-news/transformers-theme&order=asc
  3. You're consistently taking the phrase "full shows" WAY too literally here. Live in Texas was "full," it was edited together from two shows and missing the intro on the DVD, and 5 songs on the CD. Road to Revolution was "full" and it was missing 3 songs from the main in-order portion of the DVD, and had several songs cut from the CD. If it's long enough to substantially fill a disc as if it was a full show, they're going to call it a full show. The numbers just don't add up. We have the setlists for both Las Vegas and San Diego, and they played the same headlining set as they typically did all tour. That set was between 65-70 minutes long. Unless the advertised runtime for the DVD is wrong, something HAS to be cut. Probably My Own Summer (cover song), Joe's "blow your mind" solo (samples other music), and one other song.
  4. I doubt they'll do another pre-release audio track. I bet they post a song or two from the live DVDs on YouTube though.
  5. All of the music video footage in the trailer is widescreen, except One Step Closer. I think some of them are upgraded.
  6. There isn't a ton of history regarding this admittedly, but we know Scott got sent the Hybrid Theory EP as material to audition with on bass, and Chester's audition was apparently the Xero tape songs with Fuse swapped out for Esaul. Seems like they mostly gave people material they'd already put out to audition with. Also, not sure if you've heard the song, but the style of bass playing on it is a lot more fluid and busy-sounding than anything Dave typically played (although he seemed to replicate it just fine on the live tease in 2001). Plus if you look at the other stuff on his SoundCloud, it's just a portfolio of material from various bands he's recorded with. I don't see why he'd sneak that in for no reason in between other unrelated stuff he actually played on.
  7. As a musician I find it quite troublesome that someone can get a copyright takedown for uploading a song that they performed on.
  8. *Only has two song titles that haven't been released/leaked before You, of all people, should know that there can be any number of demos using the same title.
  9. I'm expecting there to be several different "levels" to the anniversary release in terms of how much stuff you get, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the biggest box set version costs like $500.
  10. Depending on just how much bad blood there is between the band and Jeff and whether Jeff got all the necessary licenses to use LP's name and image on this, I could potentially see this being the kind of thing that gets shut down with a lawsuit. We'll see.
  11. Definitely not "out"/in circulation. Not entirely sure it exists at all, haven't been able to confirm. Ever since the concert stems leaked, there's been a lot of confusion/deception about "multitracks" that are present on them but don't exist in full form.
  12. Mike follows Dominic Fike and Dom McLennon on Instgram. Likely one of them.
  13. I suspect that the WID collab performance might have been something they were planning for the Blinkin Park co-headlining shows.
  14. Or it's a troll account doing it on purpose.
  15. Oh there's the weekly Looking for an Answer question, I was beginning to get worried. Maybe asking for a fifth time will get a different answer!
  16. He'd probably work some stuff in as mashup/song transition/show intro material, but I can't see him doing a full performance of anything other than Open Door. Maybe he'd use Booty Down as some funny exit music at the end of the set like LP used to do with the bluegrass version of Crawling.
  17. 2003 one is definitely fan-made. And yes the other one is taken from the Camden proshot.
  18. Soooo is posting obviously fake/misleading content and playing dumb by asking it's legit the only thing you ever plan on doing on this website, or...?
  19. That's absolutely not a Metal Zone. There's a white Boss delay pedal right next to it that he steps on first, and it's a completely different sized housing than whatever the black box he steps on is. Brad using the Dual Rectifier distorted channel is the entire core of the HT sound and has been confirmed in countless interviews. There are any number of aftermarket latching footswitches that work as amp channel switchers, you don't have to use the stock one. Older Dual Rectifiers were also two-channel amps instead of the newer three-channel versions, so you only needed a single-button footswitch to operate the amp. *Edit* Brad has the same pedal setup on the Roxy 2000 video, and there's a close-up shot of it during With You that clearly shows the second box you're referring to only has one cable coming out of it. It's an amp footswitch.
  20. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/warner-music-videos-drop-from-youtube-in-contract-dispute It was on there before that. WB pulled all of their artists' videos off Youtube during a contract dispute in 2008-2009. Everything got re-uploaded later in 2009 and started over with no views. ITE realistically hit a billion ages ago.
  21. The Rising Tied and Post Traumatic are both mediocre albums and none of the CoronaJams I've listened to so far have been worth listening to more than once. The Drive Me Mad remix is better than anything Mike's released on his own lately. You were saying?
  22. Machine Shop isn't a record label anymore.
  23. Idea: Mike should make some CD label art/maybe a back insert in addition to the album cover, and let people print it themselves if they want to have a physical copy. Not like you have to worry much about the bootleg market if there are no real physical copies in the first place.
  24. The predictability with which you bring up OML in completely irrelevant situations is currently my favorite thing about this website. 😂
