Forgotten is registered under its demo title, Rhinestone. And yes, Pictureboard has been mentioned post-She Couldn't: "Pictureboard has samples in it. Can't give to LPU" - 11/19/2011 LPU chat with Mike. Considering he mentioned She Couldn't by name on his blog in 2009, which was between the original 2005-ish chat mention of Pictureboard and the 2011 chat, I doubt they're the same song, or at the very least, he would've started referring to it as She Couldn't from the time the song leaked.

What? An LPU contest involving LPU members collaborating with Linkin Park on original music? What? Anthony's been working on his own original material for the last several months, has a bunch of instrumental songs written that just need to be fleshed out with vocals and proper production, and just needs to pick which one he feels is the strongest and record it sometime within the next 13 days? Don't mind if I do, Linkin Park. Don't mind if I do.

Yes, and it probably appears in other LP songs too. There's an isolated scratching noise at the 3:36 mark of that song that served as one of Joe's "main" scratching samples during the Hybrid Theory/Meteora era.

I doubt they're stopping, they still record every show. The Australia/New Zealand shows may very well end up being released down the line like the 2007 ones were. I'd be surprised if the Sunset Strip show gets released because they usually don't bother releasing one-off shows, but the Asian shows have a pretty good track record.

Or it could just be the VERY likely explanation that Xero played more than 3 shows throughout their entire existence and we just don't know about all of them...

HA! Love how I replied to that one 9-ish years ago. Yeah, go ahead and add that one, I compared them and it sounds like the same sample, they just put some effects on it on Kyur 4 th Ich. On another note, I guess you could add Name of the Game as a reference in Remember the Name. Don't know how we all forgot that one, haha.

Isn't the "Rockafeller Skank" sample in Rock and Roll Part 2 actually a reference/"replayed" sample? I don't think that's the original vocal track. Also, Something I Can Never Have was used on the U.S. leg of the Meteora World Tour in early 2004 in addition to the Europe/Asia shows, and the Violent Femmes "Intro" sample was used as part of the show intro for some 2000 shows (it was inserted right between the end of Cure For the Itch and the intro to Papercut). One other sample that I haven't been able to track down is the "Break it down...turn it up!" break in Kyur 4 the Ich. I KNOW I've seen the original song that comes from mentioned somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere now. I think I recall it being something from a Crystal Method song? Could be wrong though.

inb4 the idiotic "STPLive.net" comments...

"U.S. tour" = New England + southern half of the country. Boo.

Wait, this is rare? I've had a physical copy of this poster for like 5 years, lol. Or at least a roughly 8x10" flyer version of it...not sure if there was a full-size poster.

Excellent news! One of my all-time favorite live DVDs (Coheed and Cambria circa 2004 - before all the lineup changes and Claudio's voice going to crap) was filmed there.

Pictureboard was written during the period Mark was in the band, but it's registered in Linkin Park's BMI catalog and includes Chester's name in the songwriting credits, so the recording of it was obviously done later on. Warner owns it and it's registered under the Linkin Park name.

They had the multitracks for Sad and Faint from LPU9, because there were parts cut out from the acetate versions. They also have multitracks for the HTEP, as instrumental versions of those songs are all over LPTV episodes, including one instance of High Voltage having a different guitar part than the one found on the EP itself, along with some sound effects that are absent from the "released" version.

The Kings College intro (also used towards the end of 2000) is the one that samples Love Ridden by Fiona Apple, if i recall correctly.

Piano from Waiting for the End, lyrics from The Catalyst, "submarine" sound effect from Jornada Del Muerto, misc. sound effects from the intro to Burning in the Skies, droning keyboard sounds from Blackout, Chester screaming from the end of Robot Boy, flanger effect from the guitar breakdown of Iridescent...not sure if they're ALL in there, but most of them are at least. A lot of it is stuff that's way in the background of the "main" songs they're found in, so it's kind of hard to pick up on.

Wouldn't change anything as a producer that I can think of...but for the love of god, give me the session files for the last 2 albums so I can mix/master them in a way that doesn't sound atrocious and actually allows you to hear half the shit they put in the songs.

I know, but short of being an industry insider who actually has access to Nielsen SoundScan numbers, the RIAA certifications are probably the best numbers we have to go on. The shipped vs. sold numbers are a lot closer these days than they used to be too, a lot of stores don't stock a ton of copies of one CD at any given time, except if it's a new release that's selling like crazy.

Going solely off of RIAA certifications, here are the U.S. numbers as of their most recent update (keep in mind, artists have to pay a fee to the RIAA to have their catalog re-certified, which probably why some of these albums haven't been re-certified in a long time - Meteora certainly didn't sell 4 million copies in its first year and then not break a million in the 9 years since, for example). Albums: Hybrid Theory - 10,000,000 (as of 1/7/2005) Reanimation - 1,000,000 (as of 9/6/2002) Meteora - 4,000,000 (as of 2/26/2004) Live in Texas - 1,000,000 (as of 11/29/2007) Collision Course - 1,000,000 (as of 7/19/2005) Minutes to Midnight - 2,000,000 (as of 11/15/2007) A Thousand Suns - 500,000 (as of 1/11/2011) Living Things - 500,000 (as of 4/3/2013) Singles (these only reflect digital sales): In the End - 500,000 (as of 8/18/2008) Numb - 1,000,000 (as of 10/1/2009) What I've Done - 2,000,000 (as of 11/13/2008) Bleed it Out - 1,000,000 (as of 8/25/2009) Shadow of the Day - 1,000,000 (as of 6/11/2008) Leave Out All the Rest - 500,000 (as of 10/5/2009) New Divide - 2,000,000 (as of 2/14/2011) The Catalyst - 500,000 (as of 8/3/2010) Waiting For the End - 500,000 (as of 4/7/2011) Burn it Down - 1,000,000 (as of 2/13/2013) Other: Frat Party at the Pankake Festival - 1,000,000 (as of 3/6/2002)

Chester plays it almost identical to Brad, I think Brad just plays it a little slower.

If there are multiple LP members involved, it should be in the LP section. No reason for this one not to be when all of the LPU Summit acoustic performances are.

How many different versions of this song are they going to do?

Huh, I had no idea Anaheim lossless was unusually rare. I don't have my external HD hooked up right now to check, but I'm pretty sure I've had that one for a while.

I don't really see why it would need two guitars. Mike would probably play keys. Step Up is a song that's always had one guitar part. I wouldn't look into that idea too much. Mike's probably just getting a second GGP for Lost in the Echo because he currently only has one guitar for that song. He actually used Chester's white GGP for the Mexico shows last year because his custom-painted one didn't make the trip with him. It's easy for the band to swap guitars between the A and B rigs because those two rigs constantly travel around the world anyway, but the C rig usually stays at their rehearsal studio and only gets used for local California shows and a few other random things (such as Mexico), so if Mike doesn't want to borrow Chester's guitar again at SSMF, he needs a second GGP built for him.

For the same reason IMR didn't last very long in the live sets: Because Linkin Park has a singer who can't pull off half the stuff he does in the studio in a live setting anymore. Skin to Bone wouldn't be particularly difficult to DO live, but it would be hard to PERFORM live. That song basically consists of a beat, a bunch of synth stuff, and vocals, so a "live" performance of it would probably just consist of Mike and Chester singing their vocals over an instrumental backing track while the rest of the band sits around doing nothing . It'd look really lame. Robot Boy is tough to do live because there are like 6 or 7 vocal parts in it. It has even more vocal layers than Hands Held High, which we already know was dropped because the band didn't feel like they could do justice to the vocal parts, so Robot Boy probably isn't even worth attempting.
