It doesn't HAVE to be exclusive to the LPU. Many LPU tracks aren't. I remembering being really excited that My December made it onto the LPU 2.0 CD just because I didn't know if there would be an opportunity for me to have a hard copy of that song. It's a real old example, but it still fits. I like having a CD version of all of the songs, and Blackbirds has yet to have a release like that.
Performed live once (or more? not sure) , back in the Xero or HT days. No video existing, but I think there was a picture of the setlist. The track includes a sample from another artist, hence why the band never released it until this day. I think it's an instrumental, but I can't remember the source of that. That's all about it^^ On topic, the band re-releasing tracks we already have on a new LPU CD (NRL, Blackbirds,...) is the last thing I would want. We already know how these sound, there would be no surprise at all.
Well, if Mike really said that we will had 10 unheard demos in LPU12 (I want this ), so probably we don't will had re-releasings
There's no proof as to whether or not Pictureboard is an instrumental or not. The only thing known about it is that Mike mentioned it in some chat at one point, and people have been salivating at the thought that there is a rare Xero demo that no one has heard, that they performed maybe once or twice during a show. The only recent news to come about it is that they can't release the track by any legal means because of the fact that they used an unauthorized sample from another artist.
This is Fugitives, you can find all of them on the "INSIDE LIVING THINGS" video http://soundcloud.com/brandon-roman-lenz/linkin-park-fugitives-snippet
So whoever was at one of those shows where they played Pictureboard and filmed it, probably have it on their computer or phone?
Sounds like "Pictureboard" is one of those rare songs that artists don't release. But from the comments I saw here it contain a sample by another artist. Why LP chose to sample from another artist from the first place?
Pictureboard seems to be like She Couldn't (in copyright terms). The difference is that some people had the She Couldn't song (because of Hybrid Thoery 8-Track CD) and post it on Internet, unlike Pictureboard. So that Linkin Park never released She Couldn't, thet even talk about this song. I understand that Pictureboard is, like wakaoodle said, "the rare song that artists(LP) don't release". And, because of that, exists a certain "nostalgia" around it (we don't know how the song is, but a lot of fans are curious to discover. Not all, but part of us, include me). PS: Exists a rumour that the interlude "Be Yourself" (played one time in 2001) can be a short version of Pictureboard. But are only rumours.
