Xero Reading My Eyes

[baklava151]

got xero and hybrid theory ep on my ipod

success

[TheNinjaKittens]

@smbtjb ITS THE LYRICS TO HIGH VOLTAGE <3

[drizzydre313]

smh tryna compare Mark Wakefield to Chester Bennington and everybody knows that Chester is the best choice for them cause look at them now from Xero to Linkin Park smh people these days

[bobbysgotagun]

love early LP ha its the best. it has more darkness, pain/emotion put in it. its deep and hardcore

[TheAnimatorEqualizer]

Dope shit. Just like lots of music artists when they are underground.

[cosm0]

I like chester better

[TheMandidawn]

I don't like mike because he raps the music, I like chester because he puts a metal edge to it and I don't like they're new stuff because they took the edge out of it, everybody has a bad album or two I just hope they get back on track and I'm sure they will. I'll always be a linkin park fan even if they do suck.

[awesomeJUSTIN45]

i wanna try to make covers... but then i need another singer, a guitarist, a drumer, and bass, ya i have a long way to go

[TheMandidawn]

@awesomeJUSTIN45 I have a friend that can do all four things haha but I don't know if he'd want to be in another band because of his last one

[TheAnimatorEqualizer]

@awesomeJUSTIN45 I can rap, well I can freestyle really well - I guess my rapping voice sucks, but I can make lyrics - good lyrics. But I'm not interested in making covers, I would rather make fresh new songs - I have never recorded a song before though. Just saying incase you r interested.

[Silver7761]

Mark is a good singer... just not at Xero's songs. D:

[TheBasStarz]

is that really mike shinoda? Oo

[trevor2blk]

the Xero tape is my favorite LP album of all time. I don't care about the new stuff. I really wish they would just re-release all these songs.

[M0NsTer20010]

they are actully very good

im linkin park fan and zero is awesome

[AWSOMEPOSSUM16]

@M0NsTer20010 Xero.

[M0NsTer20010]

@AWSOMEPOSSUM16 i know it was a mistake

[moneywartv]

@M0NsTer20010 u mean Xero?

[M0NsTer20010]

@moneywartv everyone makes mistakes

[moneywartv]

@moneywartv I know just making sure u aint making the sme mistakes 

[ABFan010]

So this is what Mike sounded like when was like 19? lol

[xLinkinParkFTW]

The reason Linkin Park is Linkin Park as we know them today and how they became so good is because, they got a new singer aka Chester, after previous lead singer Mark Wakefield left the band saying the band wasn't going to make it. Hybrid theory was Linkin Parks first album and it was also Chesters first time in the band releasing it in 1999

[BBAlover1997]

@xLinkinParkFTW All I have to say to Mark Wakefield is:

"WHAT NOW BITCH?!"

xD

[rp420666]

i like Mikes rappin in this song its alot better and hes got more delivery on it then HT or Meteora

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

man the original linkin park used a lot of foul language theyve never said bitch before in ANY song

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

@Love0dyssey thats why you go to live shows

[heinzie5]

i could swear chester is on this one. i thought he diddnt join until later? o_O

[mimickthecopycat]

@heinzie5 No its most likely the other vocalist they had, Mark Wakefield.

[bobbysgotagun]

@heinzie5 its definitely chester. wakefield sucks. dude trust me this is true early linkin park haa(: the beginning of the best.

[TheJoel109]

Wow mike sounds so dif and he swore IN MUSIC before HT AND METEORA :O ... Who cares lool

[howesryan]

this is good better than grey daze (btw that is chester benningtons old band) 

[youmusic71]

pas mal du tout

[M0NsTer20010]

awesome beat in the verses

[MegaCrappyusername]

Terrible guitar quality

[lilalindahouse]

@MegaCrappyusername this was recorded on mike's personal tape recorder

[jab2ez]

I notice that I am not a big fan of the guy singing the chorus (Mark?). Either way, the guy doesn't sound all that great when he sings choruses. Lol

[SaJi482a]

I <3 the guitar in their older songs :)

[HYSM90s]

Didn't they do a remake of this for a live concert with chester singing wakefields parts

[peteski2710]

@HYSM90s yeah i heard that version, its on youtube somewhere

[DrStu2]

@joncool25 thnx dude

[scarfacegr5]

i dont speak about mike i speak about the other guy

[DrStu2]

way better than they were after chester joined

[scarfacegr5]

@DrStu2 better? ahahhahahahahhahahaha u are such an idiot

[DrStu2]

@scarfacegr5 this was b4 chester joined, look it uo, I just like their old sound better... how does that make me an idiot?

[scarfacegr5]

@DrStu2 Because u are saying that this guy sings better than chester and lp's sound is worse that that shit. Ok this is not bad but this guy cant sing. In studio they could fix it but in a live? he could sing nice? I think that he hasn't any talend. Check rhinestone of xero. It's a demo of unforgotten. He can't even sing.

[DrStu2]

@scarfacegr5 Mike Shinoda is not supposed to be a singer, he's an mc like Zac Delarocha from ram. and the style was wonderful back in the day. much better than anything from lp's latest productions (aka) 1000 suns.

just because u don't like there old sound or disagree with what I"m saying doesn't give u any premise to call me an idiot.

[Biancapeg26]

haha

[drafeirha]

wow is that mike?? wouldn't recognize his voice

[13Linkin]

mike is a sick mc! you can sense his drive through his verses

[Xopie6400]

this is shit....

[madoerin]

@Xopie6400 _|_

[TehKrakerzGuy]

At least he could scream too.

[TDKDante]

Xero became Linkin Park when - Mark Wakefield - lead vocals (1996–1998)  - Kyle Christener - bass (1999) - Scott Koziol - bass (2000–2001)

left the band and Chester joined

[HeavySandvichGuy1]

@TDKDante ??? First it was Xero, then Hybrid Theory, then LP

[TDKDante]

@TDKDante Hybrid Theory was formed from Xero when Chester joined them in 1999, and afterwards in 2000 they named the EP Hybrid Theory and named the band Linkin Park

[DamijanNaruto]

@TDKDante wrong

they became hybrid theory when wakefield left them,

because another band called hybrid theory would sue them if they didnt change their name, they changed it to lincoln park, which later changed to linkin park .

[TDKDante]

@DamijanNaruto i didn't knew the lincoln park thing , thx for the info ;)

[TheMadDuckie]

@rapateer Xero is Linkin Park they just changed the name

[TheNoodleFarm]

@TheMadDuckie

This Was Before Chester. Chester Defined Linkin Park

[kingplutoxiao1]

@rapateer

*Sigh*Your really missing the point of A Thousand Suns then... Seriously the title of the album kind of gives it away.

[kalodio94]

in the '90s i mean

[kalodio94]

when my cousin first listend to this demo album he said ''this band in a few years will be awsome''

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

@kalodio94 thats an amazing memory to have

[jeffreycena]

i hate this version the one on the side is way better

[SickM3nace]

u guys heard on afghan raiders? new band their kinda cool but techno tho

[kingplutoxiao1]

@SickM3nace

Nah, its just their new instruments and equipment.

[darkstar1308]

Xero is Linkin Park before chester...

'Nuff said.

[YouReeGhos]

this season was Mark Wakefield on vocals

[LPFreak8908]

i just downloaded the whole demo tape last night and have it on my ipod..=]..BIG LP Fan Right Here..(Have Been since early 03 and always will be..)

[joshbobak2]

i only have the live verson of this song great song tho linkinn park is one of my fav bands old stuff is better tho but there new ablum looks ok cant wait to see how it turns out

[DEADTEMPTATIONMAN]

thats great! much better than the new shit

[MissCakeLuver]

:O omg mike sounds like freakig mc Chris

Or some white 17 yr old nerdy boy!

Not that I'm racist I ment like white an nerdy white but mike is better In LP

[zPoMWxRuSHz]

Mark Wakefield is better :)

[KOLERNNNNN]

@zPoMWxRuSHz Never! Chester can scream?! can definitely better sing.. and hes a way hotter ! :)

Chester is the best! *__*

[jaytf310]

@mariAZNMSK @lightvsl122112 Mikes delivery was better back then and I love the raw sound of these demos BUT Meteora has been the pinnacle of the groups sound thus far in there career.

[lightvsl122112]

xero's songs are way better than any current LP songs. it all ended with Hybrid Theory. Meteora was okay but Minutes to Midnight was not good. Chester changed the band was too much. Mark Wakefield is barely less talented than Chester.

[2the10thdegree]

Woa Mike sounds like he's 17 XD But this man is incredible.

[moonwalker915]

when did chester join in hybrid theory demo album?

[ayushrockermishra]

Nostalgia!

[NJpanther05]

there best cd

[fullmetaltwinkies]

@NJpanther05 It's actually a cassette tape!

[Channelhybrid1]

Xero was around before chester joined. I wonder who is singing the chorus in this.

[KenjiStar5]

@Channelhybrid1 The original singer for Xero or Linkin Park is Mark Wakefield. Mark Wakefield was the one singing the Chorus. After that Chester joined Linkin Park.

[mariAZNMSK]

NOTHING lp ever did is nearly as good as this.

[footrolhas]

new version live is better :)

[r4Nd0MBr4nD0n]

singer is Mark Wakefield.... Chester joined after mark quit in 1999, then later that year changed the name of the band to Hybrid Theory, then to Linkin Park.....

[666bruxinha]

fucking nice song

[SICKPivotzz]

whos rapping?

[deviIstudios]

@SICKPivotzz Mike Shinoda.

[deadking90]

mike can't screm for shit i like mike rappign in this versionm better though alot clearer then in the lpu version

[deadking90]

good sound quality for its age

[matheus1704]

CHESTER ITS BEST

[Steinerman56]

still needs chester not enough agression

[12345cesar1]

esto si esta bueno... :)

[kakachi0719]

i'd say this is their best demo song....really sounds amazing...

[VONRAT]

so this is the songs Linkin Park/Xero had before they changed the band name.

[toastpfanne]

no, its just mike shinoda and brad delson

[lXzYYzXl]

& hahn

[toastpfanne]

yeah, just forgott to say that :)

[DJMaggotTheory]

@toastpfanne More than that? Mike Wakefield is on vocals for the chorus

[rtcoolman16]

@toastpfanne no its not, its everyone except chester, the rest of the band was already together at this point

[Traiannnn]

Mike is the best. He can rap so fast. Like in Esaul (demo of a place for my head). He raps so fast in that song. He's the best.

[lukeekblad]

From hybrid ep to right before minutes to midnight they rocked.

[theartbook35]

I love that line "bitch-slap your soul". Golden XD

[limpxander]

ive got all the songs, mp3

[sabilovesrock]

mike sounds weird xD

[Methos200686]

cause hes young :D

[FanOfChazyChaz]

haha this one is good !!

but, Chester's voice is bette than Mark's

[blink182best]

ja das ist mike :D

[HPAndHG4ever]

Listen to this and then to the LPU cd one with Chester... there's a VERY noticable difference.

[MsMusicfan11111]

i love mikes voice but... mark sucks.

[theartbook35]

Mark is just lousy. I am so glad they replaced him with Chester.

[firefiret8]

@theartbook35 hes not bad but ido agree that chester is better

[theartbook35]

Mark is average. He's like, American Idol season one average. Granted, he's probably a very sweet, innocent guy, but there is just nothing compelling about his voice. BTW, that wasn't me who thumbed you down...

[Deadskater1]

This band is linkin park.Same with hybrid theory.This was their first band name to my knowledge.Then again i probably cant spell knowledge XD

[PKJowker]

@Deadskater1 no you spelt it right lol, but LP were called Superxero before this. Don't think they recorded any songs tho

[soydelciclon]

@Deadskater1 no man, they first name was SuperXero ;D

[Ruukkz]

@soydelciclon superxero is a "by myself" demo, google?

[DarkEquester]

True words...

[13savetheplanet]

who's singing with mike, chester or mark wakefield?

[Revvqt]

mark

[Dorko93]

Mark

Chester was in Grey Daze then.

[nublex]

mike's verses on this one are mindblowing.

so much better than the new shit

[Ronnock]

@nublex I know, wtf happened to him? His rhymes use to be so insane back in the day, now even with Fort Minor, he still didn't really show off.

[asherman10]

@Ronnock i think he quit to do other things, what exactly i don't know mark's a sick lyricist, but chester has a better singing voice in my opinion

[Bankotsu897]

@nublex It's the music corporation. they made mike dumb down his lyrics

[chriscross562]

Yea doesn't sound that great because its not like it wasn't done in a professional studio.

[hoy54]

who is that guy rapping?

[matir666]

@hoy54 It's mike Shinoda in his young time ! ;)

The only guy who's different from linkin park is Mark Wakefield which Chester replaced!

[cimerax]

Mike.

He was younger though.

[tvrules16]

the man rapping is mike shinoda

he is also in fort minor

if u like his raps in this u will like fort minor

[xXAZN407Xx]

i think his rapping isnt even that great in fort minor...........its better in LP

[tvrules16]

yea its all about what they rap tho

[24pepperhi]

i hate how you cant hear the guitar. its just a fuzzy noise

[forgottenforguitar]

xero was had core shit it was industrial/rap rock/ nu metal done right

[cimerax]

Good song, but I think I could out-scream Mark.

[LinkinParkFan11111]

Thats sooo awesome.

Mikes voice sounds so young and energetic ;D

fantastic;D

[THEFALLEN093]

lp wudnt be gud without chazzy chaz

[theartbook35]

I wouldn't necessarily call Xero shit, there is way more creative potential in these songs than you think.

[THEFALLEN093]

ell maybe the lyrics hav creative potential that doesnt meen they sound good

[theartbook35]

Oh I never said they sounded that great. There's a reason why I don't listen to them often.

[THEFALLEN093]

F I DONT SOUND GREAT ITS NOT GOOD

[theartbook35]

Mark can't scream... So glad he left and they got Chester! Young Mike, is so adorable. He must've been like, 17 or 18 when he wrote this. He posted up the lyrics either on the LPMB or his blog, and wrote "What was I thinking?" or words to that effect. I think my favorite line is "Emcees become silhouettes in shock".

[THEFALLEN093]

i never knew they were back in the 90,as xero wat a shit name

oh and isnt that face from the video for papercut

[theartbook35]

Yeah, that the same painting. Xero is interesting, but not as memorable.

[THEFALLEN093]

xero arent that good

[theartbook35]

I think it's the mixing quality of the songs themselves, more than anything. I'll listen to these occasionally, but as Xero, they never would have had the same success Linkin Park has achieved.

[1048469]

I SEVER EVERY EMCEE WITH SEVERITY!

[Killer00433]

never knew reading my eyes was Xero

[Finkster071]

Yea but reading my eyes must of been re-done for when they were Hybrid Theory because mine doesnt have that annoying hissing sound.

[WhiteGangster69]

That might just be the fact that the song is over 10 years old and the quality is crappy

[CCtjehh]

really I'm lookin for months now for a redone version! can you send me yours?

[imadey0utube]

Linkin Park is a great band, but Guitar Hero Linkin Park?? That's really just a waste. Because most LP songs don't have the requirements to be on Guitar Hero.

[Elit3sk0t]

They have the require ments but not a good idea when theres not 2 mics for GH and also not many guitar parts lol. Also no turn-table! You cant play any song by linkin park without a turn-table

[imadey0utube]

When I said the songs don't have the requirements, I meant most songs don't have enough guitar, which is what you said. And besides, LP haven't been around long enough to make it.

[xxUltravioletxxx]

Yeah, I can see your point (: I don't know, it was just kind of a last minute, random thought, because I thought it COULD be pretty awesome (:

[EziosSword]

ich brauch den text von dem lied (da ich öfter ma rappe trifft sich das gut )

[Gutterfish12]

I love LP, yet, I'm not a fan of this song, but its clear that mike is trying to do something different, and thats what makes LP what they are today... these songs are clearly the foundation for what LP became :-).. so it kinda makes me like these Xero tunes lol

[alexrikelme]

I love linkin park I love mike shinoda it`s my god XD

[strgzr53]

if linkin park loses mike there fucked mike is the shit. altho im not sure who i like better chester or mark. this is my first time even hearing mark but hes not bad.

[imadey0utube]

Chester and Mark are both great singers, but Mark doesnt have the ability to scream and yell like Chester.

[idkthenameXD]

it should be better when mark and chester voice are combine....i don't know what will happen xD

[phoenixLK27]

besides reading my eyes, fuse, rhinestone, and stick'n move, are there any other xero songs on youtube? im recording them and making them mp3's and im not sure how many there are besides on this playlist

[KoRnfan969]

Where Can I Get This Album?

[musicismyaspirin]

I dont know if you can get the tape but you can download 4 Xero songs for free...just go to tb72094's channel, click on one of the videos that says "remastered" then click on the hotfile link to download 4 songs free,,,I was a bit skeptical but it worked fine for me, safe and easy.

[imadey0utube]

If you wanna get the album, they cost a lot of money. Just downlaod them.
