Wanrer Germany's LP site has been wrong on a lot of things. Like how the band are going into the studio in Oct 04 or how a new DVD is coming out.

Yeah, they also screwed up and posted the Meteora front and back covers when the band was trying to keep it a secret.

Just to clear up a few things...DOYS/LFY is purely a promotional video, it won't be released as an actual single. POA/99/OSC was originally planned as a download single, but that idea seems to of been scrapped.

The confusion with POA/99/OSC came about because WB put a sticker on the POA/99/OSC promotional CD that said it would be released as a digital single on 7th february, which they scrapped/delayed. A lot of stations announced it as "LP's new single", leading to all these rumours.

Well I was starting to doubt them too, but those lyrics I posted are official.

Don't worry it makes more sense when you actually hear Chester singing them, very very nice.

That's still up in the air. No one knows for sure either way after what McDermott said at the LPJZ listening parties.

LONDON (Reuters) - A British judge has rejected a bid by American nu-metal band Linkin Park to trademark its name for use on posters, leaving shopkeepers free to sell unofficial posters of music and show business personalities.

In a landmark judgment that means the band cannot sue suppliers of unauthorized posters, Judge Richard Arnold said on Tuesday that unlike merchandise such as CDs and books, a famous name appearing on a poster was purely descriptive.

"Third parties are, of course, entitled to take and exploit pictures of celebrities -- the copyright in a picture of Linkin Park belongs to the creator of it and not necessarily to the group itself," he said.

In the mind of a shopper, the name that appears on a poster indicates that the goods are related to the person or group rather than suggesting that it was supplied by them, he ruled.

The band's lawyers had countered that it was unnecessary for a trader in posters to use the band's name, but the judge disagreed, saying it would be difficult to deal with wholesalers or retailers without it.

"Even so far as consumers are concerned, I do not believe that the members of the group are as recognizable as, say, David Beckham -- which, if it were the case, might permit posters to be sold to consumers by image alone."

In this Blabbermouth.net article it says LP are working on a follow up at the moment.

Launch Radio Networks is reporting that LINKIN PARK attempted to trademark its name for use on posters, but a British judge ruled against the band on Tuesday (March 1), clearing the way for stores to sell unofficial posters of LINKIN PARK and other music and entertainment figures. According to Reuters, British judge Richard Arnold ruled that the band cannot sue suppliers of unauthorized posters. Arnold said: "Third parties are, of course, entitled to take and exploit pictures of celebrities — the copyright in a picture of LINKIN PARK belongs to the creator of it and not necessarily to the group itself."

The logic behind his decision is that in the mind of a shopper, the name that appears on a poster indicates that the goods are related to the person or group rather than suggesting the poster and photograph was actually supplied by them. This decision means that anyone who has taken a photo of the band and decides to print and sell a poster from that photo can slap the band's name on the poster.

LINKIN PARK are currently at home in the Los Angeles area, working on their follow-up to 2003's "Meteora".

On the tour to support "Meteora", LINKIN PARK played 157 shows in a 200-month period.

I don't know if I should post this here or in the sightings area, but MTV2 mentioned the Mike solo album with Black Thought. They said he's in the studio working on it. They also said Chester is working on something with DJ ZTrip.

EDIT: I was looking around the MTV site and saw an interview with Mike about his solo album. You can go to this page to hear it.

Once you go here, you have to click on any video (doesn't matter which one). Once the screen pops up, then go to the bottom right hand corner where there is a list of interviews. It's called Mike Shinoda on solo album.

The Eminem/50 Cent/linkin Park tour is not a rumour anymore.....but it is still in the works.

HOT TICKET Head up, yo. The biggest music tour of the summer is shaping up to be a triple bill of Eminem, 50 Cent, and Linkin Park. ''It's in the works," a Warner Bros. spokesman confirmed yesterday. It would be a stadium tour, meaning the likely local venue would be Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

Chad Kroger (Nickleback) and Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) Open a Songwriting School.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Are you currently a struggling musician hoping to strike it gold with your first big single? Have you been plagued with writer's block coming up with lyrics to go with an awesome guitar riff you composed after an all night binge of Jose Cuervo? Now you can breathe easy because two of Rock and Roll's greatest pioneers have recently opened up The School of Song Writing in Anaheim, Calif. Chad Kroeger, lead singer of Nickelback, and Chester Bennington, the rock portion of Linkin Park, have decided to lend their considerable talent in helping you succeed.

"I always envisioned opening up a school like this back in the early days," Kroeger said. "I just don't think it's fair that the average Joe doesn't get a chance to shine. Everyone, despite their lack of talent, has it within themselves to make it big."

Although Kroeger had entertained the notion of a songwriting school for many years, he did not actively pursue it until one night when he was writing a new song about having sex with one of his groupies for his group's upcoming album.

"I knew right then that the school was something I had to do," Kroeger said. "So I picked up the phone and called my buddy Chester, and we got the ball rolling."

Bennington, whose band Linkin Park topped charts in 2001 with the album Hybrid Theory, and again in 2003 with Meteora, was immediately on board.

"I see so many musicians falling into the same creative traps," Bennington said. "For example, you have to write for a specific audience. And if you're in your 20s, it's really difficult to grow an audience of your peers because so many of them are off doing unique things and having unique experiences. If you're going to play any kind of hard rock and be successful nowadays, it's got to appeal to teenagers. And how do you do that? You make your lyrics as vague and relatable as possible. Take the chorus for 'One Step Closer' for example. It took me forever to come up with those lines, but when I finally nailed them down, I felt like I had really done something great."

Kroeger and Bennington will not only address songwriting concerns, but many others common to up-and-coming musicians.

"We're not just going to teach you how to write a top single, but what to do after you have. We're going to immerse the student into the complete contemporary Hard Rock lifestyle," Kroeger said. "For that we're going to enlist the help of a lot of our friends in the business."

Among those friends is Scott Stapp, formerly of Creed, who will handle proper posing techniques for students as they shoot the video for their debut single. Fred Durst, of Limp Bizkit, will handle wardrobe and image concerns. Aaron Lewis of Staind will be responsible for keeping students focused on what inspires them.

"This project is really something I'm proud to be a part of," Lewis said. "Of course, my father probably wouldn't think so. He'd just crush a beer can on my head and tell me what a loser I was."

Although the school is based out of Anaheim, Lewis will spend most of his time teaching in a satellite school in his hometown of Boston.

"Boston has always felt like a kindred spirit when I'm writing new songs. Where else in the world will you find a city of half a million people that whine about the same thing over and over again, for years and years?"

Spaces in the school of songwriting are booked for the next six months, so interested musicians are encouraged to complete an online application and be placed on a waiting list.

"It'll be an experience you'll never forget," Bennington said.
