    Yup. I'm pretty certain they've released everything from HT - the only other songs that probably were going to be b-sides where "newer" versions of And One, Carousel & Part Of me but judging by the HT demo CD they where cut very early on.

    As for meteora? I pretty certain there was alot. But I bet most of em where just riffs like A.06 (Which probably was the best of the bunch) so the guys werent too fused about em. The same goes with MTM. I think we all should just sit back and beleive what Joe said: "alot of the songs where just complete garbage" If they were that awesome the'd have been on the album anyway.

    Its just the 3 other MTM songs they recorded with Strings raise curiousity a bit. If they wern't any good they wouldn't have bothered to go that far with them would they? Hmmm...


    Oh and don't forget "Dedicated" that was a b-side to the HT EP

    That's never been confirmed. Nobody knows when or where Dedicated was recorded, other than it being sometime in 1999.

    That may be so, but it's extremely likely that it was a B-side to the EP. They probably left it off because the EP was so hip hop-oriented as it was.

    No Roads Left was one of the three, so there are only two unreleased string tracks. And it is likely they were slow songs and not included because there are enough slow songs already and they were probably not as good as the other slow songs. [Opinion] And seeing as they put Shadow Of The Day on the album over them, they probably aren't anything special [/Opinion].

    There's only one unreleased MTM "strings" song...6 were recorded in total. 4 are on the album, plus No Roads Left.

    I'm just really curious as to what they were doing in those 4 years. That seemed to be a time of great experimentation for the band, and I would be interested to see what they wrote. Aside from that, bands are, a lot of the time, not the best judge of their own work. That's why I like b-sides and demos; because they let us get a better idea of what the band is capable of.

    They toured for Meteora for like 2 years, did a buch of side projects and worked with Jay-Z then Mike did Fort Minor.

    They must have done SOMETHING else in the studio. MTM took about 2 years to make, didn't it? I want to hear some of the experiment's they were doing. Also, i'm a completionist :lol:.
