CONFIRMED: LPU 9 CD To Feature Unreleased Band Demos, and New Song

Ok, thanks for heads-up.

If we're on the subject of singles, I've got a question about Breaking the Habit. I know that Wiki is not the best source of info but I've come across a quote that BtH was originally meant to be a 10min instrumental. Anyone know if it's true? If so, it would be groundbreking if it was included in LPU9 CD.

Yeah, that's what I'm curious about too. It's supposedely brand new which suggest it's from the new album recording sessions but at the same time it can be what QWERTY was, in between Meteora and Minutes but having little to do with the sound of the latter. Or "a lone island" like New Divide which is also said to be nothing like the new album.

It's purely speculative but since (according to the newsletter) the LPU9 CD is supposed to reflect the evolution of the band, it would be completely logical for this track to be a slice of what new album will have to offer. Then again, we need a confirmation for that.

 

yeah me too

 

Awsome.

 

Here's to hoping to hear Grecian and the other instrumental on the MTM DVD

 

It'd be really cool if some of the demos are radically different to the finished versions. I'm interested to hear if the HT demos are the ones we've already heard or not.

 

I honestly think "hits/songs you know" still means anything from the 3 studio albums is fair game. The word "singles" hasn't been used once in anything other than a speculative manner here.

There's conflicting information about that. It's known that Breaking the Habit evolved from an instrumental interlude called "Drawing." There's one interview with Mike where he says it was 2 minutes long, another where he says it was 10 minutes long. Obviously, one of the people interviewing him misheard him. However, the one that mentioned it being 2 minutes long went on to say that the song was later extended to its final length when he added lyrics to it, so I'm inclined to believe that was the "correct" interview.

 

Interesting about the Breaking the Habit info. I'd never known that before, but it does make sense that Break the Habit was an interlude and that it was called 'Drawing'.

I certainly don't expect we'll get that, though, who knows.

 

Unless they've managed to decide already that this song isn't good enough to be on the album even though it's representative of how it will sound, it seems more likely to me that they have a song on their hands that they want to release but that doesn't necessarily sound how they're hoping the album will. Thus making it easier for them to decide to release it now instead of with the album. It depends on how far into the recording process they actually are I guess. Or maybe they might include it on the album as well, or maybe they've recorded it especially for the LPU. That's if it actually is a recent song.

 

When will the CD be resesed ?

 

I guess somewhere between 10-20 of december

 

Can't wait!

 

I have a feeling the new song is one of the other 3 Transformers soundtrack outtakes that they favored New Divide over.

 

Didn't even realise there were three. Cool, hopefully the other one surfaces eventually too...

 

I hope they don't. If they're worse than New Divide then they won't be that good, I'm assuming.

 

Keeping in mind that New Divide was made for a movie, and was created to be a mainstream track.

The others *could* have been awesome, but they weren't what they were going for.

 

Is there a legal way to do that? 'Cause I definitely want the CD and wouldn't mind paying for it, but I reeeeeeally don't wanna pay for membership.

Basically I'm just looking out for the more nu-metal-y demos. This Breaking the Habit instrumental sounds enticing, and anything they might've written during the MTM sessions that Rubin made them get rid of would probably be just my cup o' tea.

So by the time a tracklisting is released, is it usually too late to sign on for the new CD?

 

No, there is no legal way. The whole reason they're putting these unreleased songs out is because they want people to want to buy the subscription. If they wanted it to be free they'd just upload it to their website.
