Hey I've implimented a system that will hopefully keep most spammers out, we'll see how it goes. So go and thank mark & nick for their amazing show on their newspost, and email or IM if you have any problems with the system.
Thanks!

Linkin Park fans....I would like to present you all...a full, lossless recording of Linkin Park at Mountain View, California on the last show of Projekt Revolution 2004 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre.

Many LP fans have spent months, even years, searching for this show. We've emailed tapers near and far, from here and there and we've had no luck. Finally, someone came through after all this time. The taper gladly told me he'd send me the show and I could seed it. We can now proudly present the only full recording of Linkin Park on Projekt Revolution 2004.

What makes this show so special you ask? There are many reasons....here are some:

This is the only show that Linkin Park played A.06 on in all of 2004. They have only performed it three times ever, and one was at this show. Also, they do their own rendition of Guns N Roses's 'Sweet Child O Mine'. This is one of the best sounding shows and one of the best performances by Chester I've ever heard in my life.

Please enjoy this newly released show.

You can download it at DIME right now, but we're uploading it to other sites soon. Enjoy!

Hey all, thanks for emailing me about the comments. I know they're not working, mainly because once again we had a spamming bot go mental and fill our comment file with crap and crash the system.

Joys!

So for the next couple of days (while I get some assignments sorted) comments are restricted to owners of LPFuse accounts (that means you need a password for your username). This will only be like this for as short as possible until I can put something to stop the blooming spammers! :D

May 1st, 2007
I'm willing to bet on it.

Best Buy Online Store

Best Buy even has a Special Edition listed for it and has it listed as May 1st, 2007. Best Buy sold the LPU package for the first time in December and is guaranteed to be selling the new LP CD...and I trust them whenever they put dates up, so I bet this is the date right here.

Of course, no official confirmation, but we'll see.

interesting but different...



Man they're growing up fast!


Edit: added a bigger, official new logo.

From the latest LPU email newsletter:

Thanks to ChesterChaz and PushingMe for the heads up on the email.

The title of the Young Buck track featuring Chester Bennington is going to be called "Slow Your Roll".

"I got a record with Chester Bennington titled "Slow Your Roll." It will probably be my third single. It's probably the realest record I ever wrote in my life, every word, every rhyme, every lyric when you hear it it's true and I guarantee you will lose your breath," Buck told SOHH.

Well it's been 3 years since it happened but we finally have it - A video of Bert McCraken of The Used singing Faint with LP during Projekt Revolution 2004. This came from "Berth", a DVD from The Used which was released just today. If you have any idea what show this is from please leave us a comment. As far as we can tell, we are the first LP site making this clip available. Just a little treat for all our loyal Fuse readers.

Watch the video here. (UPDATED: new version with no stutters)

"I think I created a masterpiece here. You know you have to reinvent yourself every time you come out. I put my heart in it and I think my fans are gonna love it. I even did a song with Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. I'm telling you this album is crazy," states Young Buck. The album was co-executive produced by 50 Cent and Sha Money XL.

Wow. We all totally expected a verse from Mike. I can't wait for this.

Some things he confirmed:
-LPTV 1 kickoff hopefully before the end of February
-Single sometime in March probably
-the band is still selecting songs to go on the album...they are having a select number of songs mixed for the album, then mixing a few more after that and selecting what ones will go on the CD
-there will be no drum solos on the CD, but there might be a guitar solo
-LP is apparently planning to play some of the first songs ever written live with some new songs
-they have written over 100 songs and they've got 25 ready to mix

Enjoy.

MTV Germany says it'll be April 27 for Germany....NME erased the April 30/May 1 date and replaced it with "spring 2007".

Meanwhile, the Linkin Park publicist told MTV that the album will NOT be released on May 8 (UPDATE MTV's news post has been edited and now says the album will NOT be released on April 30th)(as if any of us would have ever picked that date :P).

"Despite what you may have heard, Linkin Park's long-awaited new album will not be hitting stores May 8. This is according to the band's publicist, who told MTV News that while LP have settled on an in-store date for their third studio album, they are not announcing it yet, though they plan to do so in the near future. Earlier this week, the band posted on its MySpace page that the first single from the Rick Rubin-produced album would hit airwaves in March, though no title was given for the track." -MTV

We should probably know it soon. I expect it in the next 2 weeks.

Lastly, the Paris show will happen, but isn't confirmed by the band yet. Tickets went on sale this morning for the show, so you can get them now.

LP has been confirmed to play at the Nova Rock Festival 2007, in Nickelsdorf/Burgenland, Austria at the Pannonia Fields II.

The Festival takes place from June 15-17.

Thanks l3v17

Ultimate Guitar posted an interview with Claudio Sanchez from the band Coheed and Cambria today, which talks about his recent solo album, the upcoming Coheed album, and a bunch of other stuff. But there's one interesting little tidbit that Claudio mentions in his answer to the last question:

What else can fans expect from Coheed or Prize Fighter in 2007? Perhaps a tour?

Oh, without a doubt. There’s so much up in the air that we’re kind of looking at, possibly the Warped Tour. There’s a tour called Projekt Revolution that’s a possibility. It’s really hard to say. We’ll see. We’re just taking it kind of one step at a time. Right now, the real focus is getting our record done. But we will tour, without a doubt.

Thanks to Astat for the tip!

My turn to post some news

Straight from LPUnderground.com, a note from Phoenix!

"Linkin Park Fans,
What’s happening? We have quite a bit of news for you.
Firstly, our new album has officially entered the “mixing stage” of the process. We have put more into the new album than anything we have ever done before. After over a year of writing, recording, and setting unrealistic finish dates for the record (sorry about that!), we are in the home stretch. The new album is very exciting for the six of us, and we can’t wait until everyone can hear it! When can you get your first taste? We are looking to release the first single in March.
Some of you may think you have already heard some new music; not true.
You have heard either Qwerty, or Announcement Service Public… both tracks that came out of our recording process, but neither of which will be on the album. They are currently available on this year’s LPU CD, go check out www.lpunderground.com.
Also, get ready for LPTV. We are going to be releasing a series of internet webisodes on www.linkinpark.com that will give a history of Linkin Park, as well as an inside look at the studio experience with the new album. LPU members will have access to extended footage on almost all of the LPTV episodes.
Lastly, for all of you street teamers, we will be opening the team in the coming months to all you who believe in us, and want to help us spread the word – look out for more coming soon on how to join.
I can’t wait until you can all hear the new music!"
-Phoenix
