Yeah, a good chunk of this info was already reported in another recent interview: http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/bra...ew-album-596469

"Anonymous but official source confirming this is fake" = "WB is covering their asses and this will end up being confirmed as the real tracklisting in a week or two." Reeks of damage control bullshit to me.

Definitely not Fuse.

...Man, I should really get around to finishing up the keys/tempos on that chart one of these days.

http://lplive.net/shows/20030306.php Since Simon/Energy actually posted the full setlist to this show publicly years ago (see here: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?act=find...&pid=183211), can it be added to the show page?

There's a SLIGHT chance I may be making it out to Arizona for this show. It falls during my honeymoon and Katie and I were planning on going out to the Grand Canyon and stuff the week after our wedding. We may be in the area that day, just not sure what money's going to look like at that point. Wouldn't complain about being able to do 2 shows in a year for once though.

Oh come on Mr. Smartass. It doesn't take a fucking genius to figure out that one of the most cliché phrases in the entire English language isn't particularly strong lyrical content, particularly when Take off the rose-colored glasses for 5 seconds, people. It's not hard.

This idea makes no sense whatsoever, as Rob wasn't involved in the song at all at this point in its creation. It started out as a typical Brad/Mike writing session in the band's tour bus studio. They had the guitar riff and a general rough "idea" for the song, but there wasn't a beat for it yet, so Brad recorded the rough guitar tracks to a click track at 70 BPM. Mike then put together the beat for the song, and it came out at 135 BPM. It was literally almost twice as fast as the guitar part Brad recorded initially. The Faint demo we got on LPU 9 doesn't even have live drums on it (most pre-MTM demos didn't get real drums until the final recording phase), and that was from way later in the process.

Wow. That's fucking embarrassing.

Tough to say. There's one interview where Chester basically says it was an instrumental version of the Xero demo, and another where he mentions the same tape and then says something like "If you want an idea of what those songs sounded like, one of them was an early version of A Place For My Head on Hybrid Theory."

That's the old entry...been on the BMI database since like 2006. The one crediting Ryan, Amir, and Fu is the new entry. I'm really not sure why Mark posted this in this thread, I wasn't bringing it up in reference to anything. Just sent him a random text pointing out a couple things I just noticed on the BMI database. I'm not even convinced that the Chester song on the soundtrack to this movie is even a real thing, let alone that it would be Morning After (which I'm sure it won't be). Lots of needless jumping to conclusions IMO. The date something's added to the BMI database doesn't always have significance. Up until like LPU 8.0, a lot of the LPU-released songs weren't added until YEARS after they came out. Sometimes there will be more than one entry for the same song when all the writers weren't accurately credited the first time around. This is also true of Standing in the Middle, there's an older entry for it that just credits Mike, Kutmasta Kurt, and Motion Man (the "true" writers of the song), while a newer entry was added later that credited the six Linkin Park members (all songs on official LP releases are split equally between the six members, regardless of who actually wrote them, so this was likely just something they realized they overlooked and corrected later on - Standing in the Middle was technically released under the Linkin Park name, even though Mike is the only LP member on it). While the main tracklisting songs for Out of Ashes were added right around the time of the album's release, the songwriting information for Morning After was never updated, so Amir, Ryan, and Fu were likely missing out on royalties from that particular track.

That's actually the Rock Im Park one, the first time they played it. It was before In the End at that show too.

Wasn't Oli actually an LPU member back around like 4.0?

And nobody on LPL has taken anything you've said in the last 7 years seriously, so we all come out even, right? I challenge you to find a single instance of a pre-ATS review calling the album heavy, saying it has balls, declaring that rock isn't dead, etc... The only thing I have to question (okay, I'm downright laughing at it because it's obviously not true) is the "everything was recorded live to tape" claim. Yeah, all those overdubbed guitar tracks on GATS were tracked live. Brad apparently has 8 hands now.

In all seriousness, I remember Mike saying within the past couple years that he feels like rock music lacks the collaborative trend that most other popular styles of music have moved towards over the past decade or so. Glad to see LP giving it a shot, but it once again raises my concerns about the feasibility of performing songs from this album live. With Daron in particular, if he goes in and rips a Lonely Day-esque solo on a track, there's no way Brad's going to be able to do it justice live. I'd assume Page Hamilton will contribute vocally, and Daron will play guitar and possibly sing as well. Page's guitar playing style is almost exclusively drop-tuned powerchords (Helmet were basically the godfathers of nu metal guitar playing), nothing that Brad or Mike couldn't do themselves. Unless he actually co-wrote a song, there wouldn't be any reason for him to play guitar.

It basically is Plaster, minus the bridge vocal samples in the intro.

SBD audio from Rock Am Ring 2001, played before And One. The Rock Im Park one from the day before is a decent audience audio recording, the Tinley Park one from June 8th (played before In the End) is terrible quality, plus it doesn't have any drums like it did at the first two performances. I think it's likely that they played Be Yourself at the June 4th Brixton Academy show too, but there's no recording of it.

...Oh, I see. There will be plenty of guitar solos on this album, Brad just won't be playing most of them.

Probably Death to Analog in full with Elias back on drums. Elias alluded to it on Twitter a while back.

I don't recall them using anything other than "energetic" when describing Living Things, and the whole idea of shorter "firecracker" songs. Oh, and the whole "using all the tools in the toolbox" thing, haha.

Posted a full month ago too, yet went completely unnoticed until now. Huh.

The single kick parts in that are still slower than the double bass parts in GATS.

WID has piano during the guitar solo, the only part of the song without piano is the little vocal/guitar break between the solo and last chorus. They probably cut out part of the song because they basically performed WID as part of what's normally the Ballad Medley, replacing the Iridescent portion. Wouldn't make sense to perform a medley with one full song and two incomplete ones. This is going in the list of songs played live as "Leave Out All the Rest/Shadow of the Day/What I've Done (Medley)," I don't cae what the show page says (it needs to be updated either way though).
