Linkin Park, The sophomore challenge: Can nu metal's superstars sell another 8 million? Entertainment Weekly, January 2003 On a recent slushy afternoon in Manhattan, The lone CD copy of the tentatively titled Meteora-- Linkin Park's follow-up to its 8 million-selling debut, Hybrid Theory-- is receiving the sort of attention usually accorded to a state secret. It is residing in the pocket of one of the band's security guards... right next to a Taser. "Inevitably, stuff will leak," says MC and vocalist Mike Shinoda of the extreme security measures. "In the meantime, you are careful." In the two-plus years since Hybrid's release, The Southern California sextet has toured just about every spot in the brave nu world and spun off a best-selling remix album, Reanimated [sic]. Meteora was recorded in three stints: first on a touring bus, then at Shinoda's home studio, and finally with producer Don Gilmore. Often, each member laid down his tracks separately. "For us, jamming and working and writing as a group would just suck," says Shinoda. "We'd drive each other nuts." The album's dozen tracks keep with Linkin Park's rap-rock tradition, but the pounding riffs will have competition. "Some of the songs are going to feel different," says Shinoda. "We never want to use our guitars or choruses as a crutch." (March) Thanks to magnolia9 on LPU
It would be worthed being shocked by a taser to get a copy of the album [/b][/quote] A copy? That's the only copy....how cool it would be to have it, wait that means it hasn't been leaked yet, sorry for u guys
hey omi? do you know how impossible it might be for you to avoid hearing Somewhere I Belong anywhere? mtv...radio....possibly tv commercial, it's gonna be nuts. i'd kill for a copy of that new album.
I would think there is probably more than one copy. Each band member probably has one too, locked up somewhere. Or maybe not, maybe they don't want any trouble. I mean, people are crazy. They'd probably break in and rob their houses. I believe that they'd protect it that much though by only having one copy. They know this one's gonna be a good one.
Well... I listen to rap radio lol I don't have cable and ill at my dad's house he has MTVhits so no commercials And thats about it...I'll do it for sure though, it will have more meaning to it then
I'm going to pull a james bond stunt here , i'm going to find the guard with the copy (he'll be on top of a building) , i'll run and grab it , and jump off the building parachuting to my safety , until the cops get me REANIMATED
Good idea. Or you could pose as very important people like in 'Catch Me If You Can'. Tell Mike that you'd really like to have the CD now so you can listen to it. Maybe it'll work... not really.
