Linkin Park - The making of Meteora (Part 1/4)

[lpfanhun]

Don Gilimore and the whole Warner is a bunch of crap. Forcing a band to rewrite and remade a track 50 times is just ridiculous. For Example "Somewhere I Belong" were rewrited about 90 times. They had to scrap a whole album!(Pre-Meteora). Same with Hybrid Theory, I'm sure many of us heard songs like, Esaul, Untitled, SuperXero, Carousel. Warner forced them to rewrite and remade all of them. Fuck Warner! I'm happy that they get out from Nu-Metal. LP4EVER!

[oakin413]

@lpfanhun I they weren't rewritten they wouldn't be as good.

[DnScream]

1:37 Program (Demo)

[MyGreatFall]

Probs to mike. He's so awesome!

[MEchelon6277]

All of Linkin Park's music is amazing. They're the most multi-talented and experimental band I know. Their exploration of different genres is what makes so unique and different from every other artist. I don't care what people say or think about Linkin Park, I will always love them.

[thuganime]

5:58 what song is that? 

[locosychocrazy1]

@thuganime Its Runaway from Reanimation.

[Op4Blushift]

@ETSJoshVoxx I will admit, ATS isn't particulary ground breaking compared to other more experimental music, but i don't think hybrid theory or meteora were that unique or ground breaking either considering there was just a shit storm of nu-metal bands that sounded similar before and during the period they were released.

[theo497]

Meteora the best LP album

[TheHrebo]

at 1:35 to1:42 can you hear it??? song named PROGRAM released on LPU11 greeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat :)))))

[StronGerMixesTV2]

@raulgabi9595 yeah I can hear it now but we for like 3 seconds..

[StronGerMixesTV2]

@raulgabi9595 sorry but isn't it "enth e Nd" instrumental from the reanimation album?

[ksantander]

@raulgabi9595 Yeahh :D awesomeee.

[ksantander]

what is Dave talking about at 3:30 about their sophomore album ?

[TheHouseOffice]

Chester singing about Wizards with a lower lip ring.

Hot.

[TheHouseOffice]

Aw. Mike was single!

=D

[novembre8211]

Heh Brad looks like a teenager still :P

[Kayuism]

[MelanieChelleM]

@Kayuism That's "RNW@Y" from [REANIMATION].

[TheNiklas37]

@Kayuism It is the Runaway remix from Reanimation (named Rnw@y)

[mypersonalzombie]

I love 'The Wizard Song' at 5:17

[dann2366]

i love how rob's neck sort of twitches when hes explaining something

[Tusia1006]

please add the subtitles..

the best in Polish..

[lu0lp]

Chazz cap stranger looked very cute and cuddly

[Dancefloor2009]

DODAJCIE NAPISYYYYYYYYY

[Paperkut96]

2:26 xD mike with glasses

[ElApannini]

lol the wizard song

[matteoricci65]

2:42-2:56 mike said that he flipped back the guitar sample

that it was playing 1-2-3-4 to 4-3-2-1,and then he cut it in 4 pieces.

so from 4-3-2-1 to 4-1-2-3.

[shadowfangirl4life]

@matteoricci65 I sort of got lost when he was talking about that.

[anrim1234]

mike looks so boyish in this vid, now hes old haha

[Dancefloor2009]

NIECH KTOŚ WRZUCI TO Z NAPISAMI PL!!!

Z GÓRY DZIĘKÓWA.

[mak7linkinpark]

TE AMO LINKIN PARK!

[Lancewss]

They wrote the album perfect. Maybe because they didn't really had a lot of stuff to use? Like, they started to write in a bus, and there they had a synthesizer, and guitars. No fancy stuff. Now when they got access to all different instruments they went ape shit.

[priturionlive]

Ok, does anyone know, by chance, what effing studio mic they're using (used) to make this album. During these scenes, it looks like a tiny Audio-Technica- which would make sense seeing as they were endorsed by the company. But if so, which model?!?!? AGH!

[27LPfan]

@DJIRadio i dont hear it

[27LPfan]

at 4:31 what is that demo mike is rapping? sounds freaking dope! :D

[LP4life84]

holy shit, check pheonix's hair yo

[MatthewFalcon73]

I LOVE MIKE SHINODA ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[tibreloaded]

Good times.

[TheSunsetWolf]

They should totally post the wizard song somewhere

[jesylinkinpark]

Mike is so cut!!!! Xb

[Op4Blushift]

@hornywigger no offence but you obviously dont know how to tell genres apart if you think its disco.. i mean if you dont like it thats your opinion but honestly its not even close to disco.

[hornywigger]

thx for the upload its great quality

[Apoorv12345ify]

Rob, in this vid looks like my Bro!! And at 4:52 he sounds like he's rapping!

[Apoorv12345ify]

Rob, in this vid looks like my Bro!!

[Op4Blushift]

I wish people would shut up about lp changing. Just cause theres not that many guitars on ATS doesnt make it crap.. and seriously if you dont like the new change then just keep hybrid theory and meteora on repeat.. im not saying their bad, cause i personlly love them, but lp are not a bunch of 20 year olds anymore, their musical tastes have evolved and their making music that THEY like. not what all the fans necassarily want..

[hornywigger]

@Op4Blushift ya but now its lik some disco shit it sounds awful

[fightingfreak123]

@Op4Blushift There area guitars on the album just not as heavy on the first 2

[ETSJoshVoxx]

@Op4Blushift yeah it evolved from awesome music that changed the industry, to just making top 40 bullshit...stfu

[SerenityofAshes]

@ETSJoshVoxx You clearly haven't heard A Thousand Suns because NONE of it is anything that would be in the Top 40 nowadays...which is exactly why you never hear them on the radio anymore. They've gotten too good for mainstream, but your pre-teen mindset can't comprehend that of course.

[ETSJoshVoxx]

@SerenityofAshes dude, ATS is a god album, but has NOTHING special about it...AT ALL...the only good song on that album is iridescent and wretches & kings

[GhostFoxChris]

Is that off the special edition of Meteora?

[HipHopSucksHard]

is there a making of of Hybrid Theory as well?

[CellmateBlueEyes13]

the quality of the vid (images) is so good i feel like there right in front of me xD

[gamersmartin]

Can anyone identify the snare rob is usung? 7:15

[1100dachh]

the wizard song really should was be in the CD

[PhantomAlxa99]

5:12 what song is Mike is playing on the guitar? It sounds familiar?

[PhantomAlxa99]

wow, in the beginning. Brad looks VERY young!!!

[linkinparkified]

meteora is their best album ever. lp took hybrid theory to another level with songs like numb and breaking the habit. i miss those days where chester had blonde hair and mike had red hair. but they are still good today and always!! lp ftw!!!

[tws494]

the wisard song LOL

[MisterBankz]

@MercenaryX2 They weren't that epic of a fail IMO, then again they arent my favorite album by them. MTM sounded alot like Meteora, although there were a couple of songs that did sound pretty simple *cough*leaveoutalltherest*coug­h*. & ATS, feels sort of desolate compared to their previous work but it doesn't sound like alot of stuff I've been hearing, it's unique but it's lacking.

[OfficialXeroMusic]

@MercenaryX2 the reason they did minutes and ATS that way because they wanted to be original with HT and meteora they were sounding like everyone else ATS is the most original album out there its a hole new type of music the only way to identify it is to call it linkin park and that what they were aiming for and they succeeded so just because its not rap/rock and something your not used to doesn’t mean its shit it just means you have no respect for a new style of music

[TheSunsetWolf]

some stuff comes out insane...insanly bad

[Ronson1324]

LOL. What happened to "The Wizard Song" that would have been funny!

[chiodos82]

meteora, hybrid theory- epic and timeless and historic and will be legendary for yrs to come

m2m and ATS- absolute bullshit

[NeciFiX2]

@chiodos82 Why? In the words of Mike Shinoda from "When They Come for Me":

And it seems ugly / but it can get worse

'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse

'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works

Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

[chiodos82]

@NeciFiX2 i dont want them to stay the same, but i do want them to keep playing their instruments, in ATS there's hardly any guitar and so far i havent heard any real drums so yea, this album blows, the whole thing, and when they come for me, was the most disrespectful fucking song ive ever heard a musician make for his fans

[pinkycheeks]

@chiodos82 i'd just like to kindly point out the hypocrisy in that statement. you're being pretty disrespectful towards a musician and an album that these artists spent time creating. so what if they wanted to experiment? they've said ATS was going to be a step in a different direction and it's not THEIR fault if YOU just aren't comfortable with what you're not used to. ATS is art.

[chiodos82]

@pinkycheeks theres no hipocricy dumbass listen to the fucking songs, theres hardly any fucking guitar or drums, go fuck your mother, this used to be a good band because gee idk they were a band! not one guy making songs on his fucking keyboard

[pinkycheeks]

@chiodos82 hey. calm down. no need for the hostility brotha.

[chiodos82]

@pinkycheeks if ida known u werent being a dick i would have been a little more polite

[MatthewFalcon73]

does anybody know how jow pressed his own records with his own sound on it and stuff???????

[onepiecebestanime]

just gotta love their music... I'm so excited about a thousand suns!

[bajerowylolek]

I can hear the beggining of "1Stp Klosr" at the 0:46 - 0:59

The way they use samples again is funny, but i like it. Just like "Step up" in "It's goin down" :)

[RustleXer]

that's pretty cool how they created somewhere i belong :)

[sabrinamuffin]

Rob looked the best at meteora and m2m Times -.-

Now he looked pretty old xD

[LPHJHGuitar]

@sabrinamuffin I think he looks cooler with the long hair

[TuahShinguru]

They should release The Wizard Song. xD

[deviIstudios]

This is amazing! Great find! This is my favorite album from them.

[crizilla138]

let's hope A Thousand Suns is as good as Meteora

[LinkinFortDay]

I miss the old Linkin Park :\

[matheus58112]

[SuperFrankyg]

i love linkin park. great cd too

[BassManGilbert]

I love watching these. I watch through the whole series all the time for inspiration. Just watching these guys work and seeing how they really mesh together is awesome. Thanks for matching.

[TheCityLightz]

2:15 its soo interesting how LP came up with the intro to somewhere i belong.....geniuses man

[SherwoodProductions1]

[Sebbepojken]

[SherwoodProductions1]

[sabilovesrock]

[TomyTrackmastertrain]

@sabilovesrock from the inside

[sabilovesrock]

[smellslikevin]

[IceKoldKilla1992]

[Ymanalo]

[TheMici1]

no,no its 360

[MuDvAyNw]

I'm hopinggg their new album goes back to their roots, at least a little bit... but after hearing that song they released for the Haiti relief, it doesn't sound like it :/

[IFishyChop]

that was just for haiti...THEY SAID THEIR NEW ALBUM WILL GO BACK TO SONGS LIKE FORGOTTEN STYLE AND IN THE END STYLE WITH A LITTLE OF ALT ROCK.

[MuDvAyNw]

@IFishyChop seriously? .. im stoked now

[smellslikevin]

sweet....now not sweet amazing r u lying

[thedddemon]

NERDS!!!!

hahahahaa

[TheMici1]

No problem swee :) go back listen to your miley cyrus, justin bieber and other girly girls.... you know...if you don't like our music turn around for 360° degrees and go !

[Shiro4565]

360? :P, ain't supposed to be 180?

[ghpmdm09]

mike described each album like this: hybrid theory and meteora was the process of defining their sound, minutes to midnight was the complete tearing of their original sound and experimentation of new sounds, and their 4th album will be the re-definition of their sound

[ron24992]

i think they worked harder in this album then they did in MTM thats what i think

[xlilcutie93x]

they worked like 3 times as long, and wrote more than 2ce as many songs for MTM. I do like old LP more, but they have evolved soo much during MTM :)

[crizilla138]

agreed

[BestBefore111189]

the wizard song (y)

[Cherrygirl12100]

At 1:27 i loved Mike's hair!!!!

[akirra92]

[akirra92]

no lol it was about anything i want lol, im doing The legend of Zelda this week. easy A's, the only reason i got 98 is cause i forgot a coma in one of the sentences and was counted as a run-on sentence

[MCAMVP]

no matter how old the albums Hybrid theory, Reanimation and/or especially Meteora are..

they will stay timeless.

even as a person who tends to listen to hip hop/electro/dance more, i always find myself listening to those albums every now and then, over and over for a couple of hours

[Sebbepojken]

An album perhaps?

[kraken4RvB]

Its named after a mountain range in Greece

Wikipedia that shit haha

[N1LPFAN]

@ming930221

A rock formation in greece...There are monistaries built on them..

they say its amazing how they were built there...Same thing about METEORA

[SexyKiller2012RIP]

@ming930221 The band went to a trip in Greece years ago when they saw the monasteries, they were inspired by this place called "Meteora", which is their second album.

[thelpfen]

@ming930221 the name on the album

[xSaintCardenasx]

The Wizard song. Hahaha.

[BeatPushaProductions]
