    Warrior actually was in a fake tracklist for THP. As I remember, we never had a confirmation about this been the demo name of War.

    We never got OFFICIAL confirmation that Warrior was War, but we do know that Warrior was a working title the band used during THP. It was on a songboard with KTTK, AFN, Wastelands, MTG etc., so it's pretty likely that it became War

    I've told this story on here a few times I think, but I met Chester back in 2014. The meet and greet rules were repeated no fewer than 5 times and within seconds of Chester coming out, he broke every single one lol. No hugs? "Bring it in man of course I'll give you a hug". No personal selfies? "You wanna take a selfie? Of course!" Don't ask them to sign more than one item? "I'll sign as many things as you brought my man". When he got to me, he gave me a hug and told me my hair was badass. That nobody else's expectations or standards mattered as long as I was happy with who I was. It's a nice message that I feel like bears repeating.

    I can get him not wanting to do a proper live release. He said a lot that the shows were meant to be an experience in the moment and a release could dilute that. But yeah, the Soundcheck Sessions release was weird, especially since he said a few streams ago that part of the issue with a live release was that he played LP songs in the set and the rights could get messy... but 60% of the only solo live release he's done is LP songs lol

    None of his solo songs are A+let's be honest. 

     

    There are no songs in the level of Papercut, Iridescent, Waiting For The End, Catalyst etc. 

     

     

    Nothing Makes Sense Anymore, World's On Fire, Hold It Together, Can't Hear You Now, and Promises I Can't Keep are among my favorite things associated with LP. I'd take any of those over a ton of big "fan favorite LP tracks" any day of the week. RFMS, WAIF, PTS, Over Again etc. are all great too. Throw in shit like Kenji, Slip Out The Back, and The Hard Way from FM... Easily all A+ songs IMO

    Unless you were talking about Mike solo. Then you’re right I guess but FM had some bangers. 

    I don't know, even there I'd still say it's mostly great songs. I'd argue most of his bad/mediocre solo music came from TRT. PT had maybe 3 songs I wouldn't consider great/A+: About You, CAL, and Lift Off. Plus Fine absolutely bangs. Yeah none of the stuff he's throwing together on stream has been A+, but he's making these tracks in less than 3 hours. I'd be SHOCKED if they were lol

    If the instrumentals were created under ''Linkin Park'' most of you would be saying that this is a legendary album.

    You're acting as if people on here never critique the mixing/production of LP's stuff. Living Things suffers from a lot of the same problems as this (the vocals just kind of sitting atop a wall of noise that's hard to actually make anything out of), and probably the most common thing said about that album is how awful the production is (and it is truly bad). I can promise you that if this was Linkin Park - Amends and it was exactly the same, I would dislike it just as much as I do now.

    Disregarding all the drama and how I feel about Grey Daze as people, I don't like this album. That's not to say there aren't positives to it. Syndrome and Soul Song were pleasant surprises and I actually really liked what they did with In Time. The instrumental is really dope and the contrast between Chester's aggressive vocals in the chorus and how subdued the track is actually works pretty well IMO. Apart from those three, though, there's nothing here I could ever see myself going back to. For the most part, the production is an absolute mess and B12 holds a special place as the worst thing any member of Linkin Park is attached to.

    Quick question? Ask here!

    They could try and work out a deal with the songwriters to pay them a flat fee since it's not being released in a very public way and therefore probably won't bring as much money in as an actual proper release would (this would essentially function the same as a work-for-hire contract, just done after the fact). But more likely, they would just get paid the songwriting royalty they'd get paid if it was released normally. LP/their management registers all the songs (even LPU demos) with BMI, and that's who's actually responsible for ensuring songwriters get paid for their contribution. It'd presumably work exactly the same, but management would probably have to manually report the sales (assuming they don't already) since it's not being distributed through any of the public services (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal etc.).

    Genuine question for you. Is it actually possible for you to show you like something without trashing something else?

    Yeah whenever artists do this kind of deep dive into the production of their tracks, most people love it even if they're not producers/musicians. Maybe treat it like art streams where he does it every once and a while in between the CoronaJam streams. People could redeem ShinodaBucks to request specific songs. I think it'd be cool.

    The other factor is not all services process tracks at the same speed. Spotify and Apple Music are usually pretty fast (within a week at most), but it's typically expected to give a few weeks of lead time so all the big services get the tracks and can post them at the same time.

    thats a very valid point. But i think the issue that is bothering most of the fans is not that only Mike and Brad contributed to it (we been knew like you said) but that they took people outside the band to write for them. Personally i dont mind it on one album. Its not like they do it on every album or they got lyrics and music ready, done by someone else and just went to the studio to record it with no contribution like some of the main artists out there. 

    I mean, they just wanted to try something new. I don't really understand the sentiment that "outside collaborators = bad". There's a purist argument to having everything done solely by you/your band, but I've always thought bringing in third-parties to work with brings new ideas to the table and can take songs in new directions that they might not have gone in otherwise. They basically had the exact same songwriting process for 20 years or so. Why not flip it up for an album and start with lyrics and bring in outside collaborators. Like you said, it's not like the band just performed songs other people wrote for them. The usual songwriters in the band were still in the room for the entire album. It's also not like they replaced Joe or Phoenix with Jon Green or Ilsey Juber. They probably wouldn't have been helping with that part of the process anyway.

    It just seems so weird, if that was the case (I’m not saying it ISN’T; it likely is), that Chester / all of the band wouldn’t just get a writing credit on every song like every other album. I mean Chester has a writing credit on Session lmao. He was heated it got nominated for an award. 

     

    They did get credit on BMI, so they probably are getting songwriting royalties. But again, it'd be in poor taste to have all these outside songwriters bundled in with 3-5 other people who didn't actually help write the songs. Like, "Why do these guys get the same credit I do when I actually did the work", ya know?
