A new video has been uploaded to the official Linkin Park YouTube channel. It's a video that features the band jamming and improvising out a small song. You can check it out here below. So with this small song, this can be considered the first release of new music from the band! As you can see in the video, the band is still in the studio and working hard on the new album. The latest talk is that a new single will possibly be released around February or March, but that's just speculation. Just a few days ago, we could see on Snapchat that blackbear was back in the studio with the band, it is unknown if it was to work on new material or on the same song that was worked on a few months ago. We all eagerly await more details and whatever they worked on. What do you think of the jam? Is this what the new album will sound like? When do you think the album will be released? Come and discuss in our forums. Source: Linkin Park YouTube
I think... an ukulele solo would be nice. And everybody together on the studio? Man, this is unprecedented. (I don't even consider Chester a LP member anymore).
Will this finally end the bitching about the studio updates being nothing but "lame talk"? Probably not.
LP dancehall record confirmed!!!!! LOL nah. Just wait for the "LP sold out" and "No heavy guitars=No music" comments.
I just hope we get to hear it on the album. I know this is just them playing around, but it lends credence to my thoughts that this will be the most bongo/cowbell-filled album yet. Idk why, it just seems fitting that we'll get some of that as well as more acoustic guitars than usual.
He can do many different styles of music but doesn't show it much besides what's on FM and his scores. He made "Back Home", which is completely unlike anything on LP.
The new direction is fine.. They need to tune that bongo to drop D and play some pentatonics on the cowbell though. Seriously though I'm not worried for one bit about this cycle so far. They know what they're doing.
"When we write songs, we're not really a jam band. We won't sit there together and just like jam on our instruments and say 'hey, that sounded cool, play it again' and we'll try and like all write stuff together. I think we would kill each other if we tried to do that." -Rob Bourdon in The Making of Meteora documentary.
I wasn't being serious But people sure change in 13 years, so the bands attitude to jamming can as well
