    HT would've had two of Mike's most dope verses in LP history. And it's a solid track. Opinions?

    They said because it didn't fit in with the rest of the album. It would have been after Cure 4 The Itch.

    Perhaps they felt it was too "different" or "strange" while they were working with and feeding off of Don Gilmore. There's really no way to tell when it comes to these things...

    EDIT:
    ... unless they straight-up said it before. I didn't know that. Source?

    I believe that that's implied by the song's intro, and that might be all the information that we have.

    This. The intro to the High Voltage remix/redux has the outro with the marching from Cure For The Itch. Why it's not included on HT? Who the hell knows. #BlameWarner

    I've never noticed that. I also wish the studio version of High Voltage had that guitar part that they only play live.

    This will make me play the 2 tracks front-to-back for, I guess, the first time ever :p

    Edit: damn! Never noticed it, but yeah, that's obvious!

    On another note, synth choirs need to make a return in Linkin Park songs!

    Don't you mean orchestras?

    Well, strings appear regularly on Linkin Park albums already. On a certain album, Campbell's string players perform on more songs than not

    Choirs aren't a part of orchestras, though, so that's a bit outside of what I was talking about anyway :)

    I also wish it had the ENERGY only present when played live. After listening to the live versions (especially the LPU album version), it's hard to listening to the monotonous way Mike raps in the HT version.

    Badass song though.

    In case any of you don't realise, those are usually ideas which are created as the band figure out how to play songs live, after the studio versions are done and dusted. Again, most of you probably know this :lol: but, sometimes, I honestly can't tell

    This thread is like traveling back in time to 2003.
