[DOWNLOAD] Linkin Park - BURN IT DOWN Remixes DJ Promo CD

[zwieR.Z.]

Do you guys really think we'd waste your time posting illegitimate shit up for download?

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people lately? Is it the new trend to call out fake in every news post now? This is the third post in days where someone has come along and called fake, without doing a shred of research first to avoid themselves looking foolish. These remixes are all legitimate and were uploaded by the respective artists. The LPA doesn't post fake shit, and we never will.

Please people, not trying to sound rude, but please take a moment to read the whole first post before making posts like that. If you had, you'd see why none of these were fake. It's almost insulting to have to read this stuff in nearly every news post lately.

Well, I'm pretty sure that this CD actually IS fake. I mean, it surely wasn't released by WBR. John Reaper is a Linkin Park fan from Greece. He's following me on Soundcloud and his remix is just a very simple rearrangement of BID stems that someone ripped from the Linkin Park GP application.

so who would like to PM me that acapella and instrumental mix?

So who else hasn't read the LPA rules or doesn't have common sense to not ask for links?

Okay, reading back on the post I made I came off as quite aggressive, and I'll even admit that. I probably shouldn't have come off so pissed or annoyed, but I've just become frustrated by what seems to be a growing trend of people crying fake on official things (not counting this thread), just because they don't like the way something looks or sounds. It's happening a lot on these forums lately, and the collective intelligence of threads are being brought down by it as a result.

Example: Someone stated in another thread that they didn't think that the RAC and Paul Van Dyk remixes were official, and that none of the LIVING THINGS REMIXED tracks were actually released yet, because the first two remixes, in that person's opinion sucked. It didn't matter that both remixes were officially emailed for download by the band, this person was still convinced that we haven't gotten any of the remixes yet, because in his mind there was clearly no way that those remixes could be the real deal.

So, reading something like this, after seeing Joe basically dealing with people calling things he posted as news "fake", just got on my nerves and I made the post I did above.

Now, giving acknowledgement to the post you made above and even accepting that the eBay CD itself is now likely not an official WBR release, it still doesn't make the Paul Van Dyk remix, the Hann With Gun remix, the RAC remix, the Double Dust remix, the Heavy Burn remix, or even the Arya Shani remix fake and not actually done by those artists. Those remixes are legitimate (two of them have been released by the band, with another seeming to already have been given the thumbs up by the band as seen here: http://promodj.com/hannwithgun/remix...Gun_remix?hq=1...Mike called it "Hybrid Theory Part 2"), and for some guy to roll on in and say he thinks they're all fake because they "sound unprofessional" is just insane.

So perhaps what was posted on eBay was someone trying to make a quick buck. But we're not selling that CD. We're posting the remixes contained on it for convenience of the fans, which are by all accounts legitimate remixes (two of which were officially released by the band...that we currently know of), even if one was apparently made by a fan.

...which honestly, isn't anyone who makes a remix of a Linkin Park track, technically a Linkin Park fan? They wouldn't make remixes of a track they hated.

Man, off topic, I think your remixes are amazing. Mainly Blackout. .-.

Derek, I get your point, but actually I have no problem with you posting it on the front page. On the contrary, I think there's some interesting stuff here, like Hann With Gun remix (although I'm guessing it's fanmade as well).

Not necessarily ($$$ )

Sorry man, I didn't mean to try and insult you..

It's ok, I'm sorry if my post came off aggressive. Let's just forget about it and enjoy the remixes .

[itsmax]

That CD is obviously fake, there's text inserted very poorly in photoshop without any kerning in typography.

and obviously im more excited to LPA BID remixes too

edit: digging pvd & hann remixes

[Derek]

So looks like these weren't okay to post. Sorry folks.

CD not fake, and I knew this was going to be taken down eventually and I don't know why it was posted in the first place, when it clearly said on the CD that it couldn't be shared without Warner Bros. approval

[Detek The Infamous]

My thread is no longer redundant.

[Filip]

Should the tracklisting of this CD be removed from Wikipedia?

The CD is most certainly fake. It has been listed by the same seller over and over again in "private" listings. The reason we put it up for download was to stop people paying a huge amount of money for a potentially unofficial promo disk and to get the files out there. The files themselves are real, but the disk itself? Like I mentioned in the original post, I highly doubt it.
