I remember realising this "LP-uses-the-same-progression-in-every-song" thing back when I started learning to play guitar. Kinda lost some respect for them for a while. But then I realised that most of my favourite artists (Green Day, U2, Coldplay etc.) do the same thing. Almost every band has it's own signature progression, which it repeats in most of it's singles...
I don't really care about the song. It's a Steve Aoki song, and I don't listen to him. Also it sounds much better live.
Although we thought that too, it's listed everywhere under Linkin Park, having Aoki just between brackets in the title.
I think his influence is more prominent in the song (I don't listen to his music, but I do listen to Linkin Park so I can tell), and they said they let him do his thing, didn't they? I take it as his song.
I hope so, that would be nice having two very different versions of the same song. Also, that may give us a better insight on Rick's roll in the band and what he tends to like from LP.
That dance at the end Also, its amazing how they got the chorus done in probably less than 20 minutes. I believe there was a bit of a time skip in between.
I prefer this guitar-driven version infinitely more than the WUB WUB we got on release. INB4 pitchforks and knives.
Like I said in the other thread, all of the guitar/beat/vocals you hear in this video are in the final version...what you're hearing isn't even a demo, it's a chunk of the song with a bunch of shit missing from it.
Now picture Chester circa 2000 playing in the House of Blues...NEVER in a million years could you have predicted he'd become as laid back and awesome as he is now.
