We can't say for sure, but if the MTM20 box set is being released, it’s likely already in production. The argument about "looking to the future" doesn't make sense; if that were true, the band wouldn't even be playing songs from the HT to OMLeras, so that logic doesn't hold water. The same goes for the idea that releasing material featuring Chester would somehow hurt the current band's performance or plans—that doesn't add up either. They have a new target audience, sure, but they also have an old-school fanbase. Both the label and the band know the MTM20 release would be a huge success; fans love buying that kind of material. Someone needs to ask one of them about it in the coming months. An MTM20 release would be perfect for the gap between studio sessions and the new album—which will likely drop in the second half of the year—so a May 27th release fits perfectly. Let's wait and see what the coming months bring, hoping for some positive news regarding the MTM20 box set.

I hope they release the MTM20 in the meantime.

The LP has more than enough material to do what Metallica does. It’s just that they simply don’t want to, lol. Maybe one day we’ll have a digital store where we can buy unreleased demos, proshot concert and audio Concert too. They could just give it a try and see what happens.

It’s really become a joke. I can't even believe they have the nerve to announce this. But if they announced it, they know there are weird people who will buy it. It’s a shame, and disrespectful to the LPU legacy 25th. It used to be so good. Good times...

All we can do is wait and hope that this show and others make their way to us next year! I’m still holding out hope for the MTM20 box set! Thanks for the support

It could happen this month! 😁

Thanks. I love Linkin Park's old stuff.

This would be potential material for inclusion in a possible MTM20 box set.

I always find origin stories like this amazing; I know you gave a summary, but there’s no doubt that you were—and still are—a key figure for the fans who love this kind of material. Believe me, brother, a lot may have changed, but there’s still a niche group of people who love it when something previously unreleased from the *LP1* era surfaces. I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been chasing down all those things over the years; without a doubt, if you had given up back then, we wouldn't have many of these shows today. I mentioned these releases in the chat a few weeks ago—I remember *The Roxy* was incredible. I joined the community in 2012, and it was like discovering a side of LP I’d never seen anywhere else, haha. I still appreciate—and always will appreciate—these releases. I hope that someday these kinds of experiences can happen again here. Thank you, @felipe, for bringing so many releases to the community. And who knows? Maybe someday, when you feel up to it, you might treat the community and the old-school fans—who still get a thrill out of this—to something new. All the best, brother!

Did you guys also notice that the photo they posted for Chester's birthday this year was from the MTMera Do you remember? I've always held out hope, and these little details keep me hopeful. Beyond the demos we all know the band has, it would be amazing if the SS06 DVD finally got released, RAR 07, any PR08show with Chris Cornell singing "Crawling." A show from the 2008 European tour where they played "Reading My Eyes" would be incredible, too. Let's take it one step at a time, though, lol. First the movie, then we move on to MTM20 😁

0:27-0:28 MTM20th

Whenever something from LP old-school days surfaces, I really appreciate it. A find like this is still very relevant; I hope that over the years, more and more material from LP (from the Chester era, if I can call it that) comes to light, not just amateur recordings, but proshot too. Only time will tell...

You already told me that, but I still believe in that box. haha

Hope is something we should have...

I think what might happen next year is the band playing some XERO songs at some show as a way of mentioning that it's already been 30 years, etc... 2027 is still uncertain, but with expectations still existing for MTM20th, if we have at least 3 exclusive songs with Chester's vocals it would be incredible, as well as some exclusive shows too.
