I updated the list at the end of the tour and sent it to staff already. All the info's already taken care of.

Each ticket represents an individual entry into the sweepstakes. Winners are chosen through a process of random selection. Odds of winning depend on the number of tickets held."

I also totally forgot about the Esaul rehearsal footage on Frat Party. No "motherfucker" in there either, and that's essentially a live performance.

Crawling (which was actually an mp3 download on the LPU website)/Hunger Strike were done by Pooch. Those both come from the Burgettstown 2008 show. Those 2 songs were actually supposed to be released as a Chris Cornell/Linkin Park "double-A side" radio single, but that wound up not happening because of some record label-related issues.

No differences between the first two editions (sound-wise). I believe the signed copies sold on eBay were just leftover 2001 copies? If it was properly reissued in 2010, it should have been the remixed/remastered version that Sean had been working on for years (most of which was released on LPA several years ago).

I'm really not that well-versed on the Xero stuff. I know the intro guitar riff is basically a repeating E-D-F pattern...might be tuned down half a step, I don't remember.

The Pricks was Brad's first band.

I don't PERSONALLY think he was involved in Xero, but I may be wrong. The generally established timeline for Xero's formation usually goes something like this: -Mike and Mark decide to start making music after seeing an Anthrax/Public Enemy concert in the early '90s (BTW - I think I figured out the date of this show! October 10th, 1991 at the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland, CA), and they form a band together a few years later. -Mike invites his high school friend Brad to join the band, and Brad essentially brings Rob with him, as they previously played together in Relative Degree. -Mike meets Joe at the Pasadena art school and invites him to join. -Brad is roommates with Phoenix at UCLA and invites him to join. Basically what it comes down to is that I can't really imagine Brad being in the band without Rob...although I do find it interesting that the songs on the Xero tape are only credited to Shinoda/Wakefield/Delson/Hahn. Makes me wonder if maybe the full band lineup wasn't finalized when those demos were recorded... I've been meaning to get clarification on this in one of the LPU chats, but I always forget to ask.

Way to be picky over something that isn't even an issue. It's not like LP's just going to go "Here, have our raw Pro Tools session files!"

So apparently they screwed up on this one. Hearing that copies of the HT vinyl reissue play at the wrong speed. FAIL! *Edit* Actually, maybe not. Still trying to figure this out.

Yes that's the Hybrid Theory EP. The band has almost always referred to it as a "five-track/song EP" in interviews over the years, despite it being 6 tracks with 7 total songs on it. We basically have no clue about the band's touring schedule prior to the June 2000 Coconut Teaser show because the Web Archive doesn't go back farther than April of 2000 for hybridtheory.com (even though the website existed for at least a year prior to that). There are probably dozens of Hybrid Theory shows we don't have listed.

Bruiser was originally a demo track for Music OS on the Linkin Park Edition Dell computers that came out in June of 2012, so it's definitely a "Living Things sessions or earlier" song. I THINK Bruiser is built around some of the unused MPC/guitar samples that were recorded for Wretches and Kings, but I'm not sure if the song itself was put together during the ATS sessions or sometime later.

Why? They have all of those tracks sitting in "the vault" somewhere, just like all the other demo tracks they've released in the past...

One other idea that I keep coming back to is that LP could do an LPU CD that compiles all of their live intro/interlude instrumentals that aren't parts of other songs. They had a LOT of these in the 2004 and earlier periods that they obviously had to record in studio quality to use in the first place (I'm assuming they all have names that we don't know about too), but they never wound up being used outside of live performances. There are a few that sample other artists' material that would probably be off limits, but still... Who wouldn't want a studio quality version of ? Or this? Or this? etc...

It's not the first time something like this has happened. The LPU 9 cover art was simply a stock photo that they purchased and slapped their logo on: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-141...nes-remix-2.php

Nah, that one's the same as the album version. There IS a version with an extra "na" from Mike at the end though, it's played during the credits of the Making of What I've Done on the MTM DVD.

...He clearly sings "Taking over, c'mon!" there. It's a line from "Five to One" by The Doors, which was sampled in Jay-Z's song "Takeover" in 2001. No idea how you got My December from that.

Sounds like a crappy mix of the album version to me. There's a little drum "fill" before the chorus that isn't on the album version but I'm pretty sure that's just from the way they cut up the song. And there's a little echo thing on the last note of the song too.

Give Me Your Name is also in the same vein as songs like Hands Held High and Robot Boy in terms of vocal layering. If Linkin Park couldn't pull off those two songs with 5 people in the band who could potentially sing harmonies (keep in mind that the band has confirmed the reason they quit playing HHH was solely because of the vocals not sounding right), there's no way DBS could pull off Give Me Your Name with just Chester and Ryan.

You're attributing a seed title to a particular song because Mike's gibberish lyrics happen to have a couple syllables in it that sound like "sono?" Seriously? Sono is at a tempo of 140 BPM. Leave Out All the Rest is at a tempo of 80 BPM. Shit like that doesn't change once an idea gets to the "seed" stage without completely scrapping the idea and starting from scratch. The keyboard loop from Sono does follow the same progression as LOATR in the same key. But I don't see how anybody could listen to the Sono percussion samples and think for a second that the two songs are related.

That's Phospho's video (Source 2). The show page just fails to mention that he taped that one BOW song in addition to the full Fort Minor set for some reason.

They didn't exactly have an aversion to profanity in their demos, particularly the HTEP/Xero stuff. Even if it was cut out of the demos at some point, why would they have bothered recording it again on the final studio version?

KMEL 106.1 radio in San Francisco.

Keep in mind that a "full" Asian tour for LP is usually maybe 10 shows tops, so I wouldn't expect this to be a sign of something monumental. Wouldn't be surprised to see them add shows in places like Seoul, Jakarta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Don't see them doing another mainland China show with U.S.-China relations being kind of strained over the North Korea situation right now.

He was doing that a lot during mid-2001, along with the full-length version of the speech from High Voltage. Rehearsals aren't typically posted on the live guide except in special cases (being attended by fans that can actually confirm what was played, or rehearsal audio/video that was released in some fashion).
