I dont know if you guys are aware of it, but the polish guy who won the contest created the ending for the song When they come for me.

I just watched the interview they did on VIVA (german tv-channel) and mike said, that the last part of the song was created by him. They wanted him to part of the album instead of just having his remix at the end of the album.

I don't know if I can post the link to the interview here, just look it up on youtube.

 

We've known about this for a while. The admins have a secret source that they're not willing to reveal at this point, but it has been discussed.

 

Santana's new album (including the track with Chester) is available to pre order on itunes. Haha I doubt this will make the main page . Just an FYI!

 

Remember that note in the "The Making of The Catalyst Music Video" ? Well, I have transcribed most of it for all of you to see. I kept the format as it was in the original bulletin and have written down about 90% of the text. So here it goes in it's original form, from LPTV to LPA, get ready for "The Meaning behind The Catalyst Video"

A THOUSAND SUNS.

A TREATMENT FOR WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS BY JOE HAHN

The inspiration for this video comes from J. Robert Oppenheimer's reaction to the world's first nuclear explosion in New Mexico.

In an effort to verbalize what was then indescribable, he quoted a passage from the Bgavad Gita, the classic Vedic text:

"If the riddance of a thousands suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One. I am mighty, world-destroying Time"

When an atom splits it releases other neutrons, and he was quick to realize that under the right conditions those neutrons could go on to split other atoms in a chain reaction.

This would lead to one of two things: a steady generation of energy in the form of heat or a huge explosion.

If each splitting atom caused one released neutron to split another atom, the chain reaction was said to be "critical" and would create a steady release of that energy.

But if each fission event released two, three, or more neutrons that went on to split other atoms, the chain reaction was deemed "super critical" and would rapidly cascade into an almost instantaneous, massive, explosive release of energy.

My goal with this video is to encapsulate the sentiment of the next Linkin Park album and our new direction; we will not perform in (undecipherable....) ... in videos of the past.

This video will show the power of the singular vs. the power of the multitude. The Intention of splitting an atom was to generate nuclear fission. Inspired by the power of a single atom splitting can emit the power of a thousand suns. The beauty of destruction.

We will show this graphically by distorting images playing between high resolution and low resolution. We will break down pictures to metamorphosize a recognizable form into beautiful imagery.

We live in a world of technology. The advancement of man has allowed us to live in luxury. The flipside is that the more laced that everything has a consequence.

Just a few corrections here and there:

"We live in a world of technology", there is no 'will'.

And you spelled 'perform' wrong. Other than that, nice idea!

 

Thanks man! I'll correct those right away.
