Xero Rhinestone

[monkyjamman]

Chester did also this seach "Linkin Park - Forgotten"

[4everLPFan95]

This is sooo Awesome *-* love it ;33

[Linkinpark8789]

i cant picture this mark wakefield singing with mike

[1012alvin]

i'm a massive linkin park fan and i must say the vocals on the chorus is just.terrible.

[monkyjamman]

@1012alvin It's because it was made in thier garage in back in the day soo that's why!

[TheAnimatorEqualizer]

Epic. Love this raw underground stuff - has an awesome original feel to it.

[Iamsoproductions]

Forgotten before it was forgotten? I like it.

[wufflord]

these songs are pretty good but i can see why they didn't get a record deal

mike kind of sounds unconfident and it sounds like hes stumbling over the words

[komentator98]

Like it if U are 1 of ppl who remember THIS Linkin Park

[TheMandidawn]

i think i like chesters voice better than this guys.

[guiltycheese22]

Anyone else here "I'm far from the rapist" in the song

[andijend]

is das forgotten

[Drummerman2100]

i like linkin park but then i found out that this was the band before they changed to linkin park and before chester joined the band i like both of there stuff total awesomeness!!!!!

[blakemcguire]

I like this one and forgotten about the same. i think forgotten has better intensity though.

[KenjiStar5]

@blakemcguire Well the quality in this is kind of bad. This was recorded in Mike's makeshift bedroom studio. If they had the same quality, it might be different.

[disturbia13]

Wait....this is DEFINITELY the same song as Forgotten, from Hybrid Theory, right??

[Drummerman2100]

@disturbia13 ya your right but this was the original version and it wasnt called rhinostone

[oncebitten1981]

i like xero as a band name more then linkin park. 

[2911sagar]

im glad linkin park got chester coz mark wakefield just sucks...

[cradleoflinkinpark]

@2911sagar X2

[MrROCKNROLLA999]

This zero demo actually sounds alot like the song it eventually becomes, Stick n' Move sounds nothing like Runaway except for the beginning riff

[TheSuperSmalls]

@MrROCKNROLLA999

 *Xero

[OfficialXeroMusic]

thake this and add graydaze and you got 1 kick ass band

[yahoofreak456]

I Like Mark and Chester. Mark and Chester should sing a song together :|

[moneywartv]

@yahoofreak456 if they do then they will make new music type called poptherock

Mixed rock and pop

[MrBasscube]

nice and cool

[Valenkot10]

Hell Yea! Back to the roots of linkin park

[beestudio01]

forgotten!!

[loquendextremo]

forgotten!

[GOTAGaming]

THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN FORGOTTEN

[blk43199]

Wow that fucking sucked,forgotten was ten times better when they started singing it was just fuckin halarious

[TheEpiicRaNdOmS]

@blk43199 stfu you gaylord are you even a LP fan?

[illmaticice1989]

freshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhh!!!

[triceps22]

@alesandraLINKINPARK no, this is Mark Wakefield - vocals (1996–1998)

[iVoLTaGEii]

songs amazing, but i hate the album cover. sorta creepy

[smoothie12446]

hows it going with Mark Wakefield?

Any good music from him?

[Diggy246]

@smoothie12446 He's a manager of some band.

[Arasuko]

@Diggy246 Yeah, Taproot. He still keeps in contact with LP though, he co-wrote some of their more famous songs :)

[smoothie12446]

Mike sounds almost just the same ;P

;)

[outlettered]

there's not a single song by any member of linkin park that I dislike.

[ThorinSHR]

Am I the only one who thinks this is better than forgotten.

[outlettered]

@ThorinSHR to me the two are as good as each other

[rp420666]

you kno ive been an LP fan since they came out and it took me this long to find their old stuff

[youragayrod]

saw them live!

[kayosmonster]

XD half way through i thought the song changed to brass monkey for a sec XD

[thecoonking]

i dont need anybody jumping on my back or anything saying anything stupid and all that this is just my point of view. i think that the new edit with chester is better then marks but i will admit that the music edit for this one is better then the new. i just think that chester has a better voice for the part then mark does (for some songs) mark was a cool but i think it was a good move to get chester. but think on this one how fly would it have been to have chester and mark. hum?

[MegaCrappyusername]

Forgotten ftw! \m/

[turtlefanrecords]

second verse is used in reanimation

[JediMasterKarabill]

@turtlefanrecords it is not exactly the same....you could compare it with the demo they made with chester though, but still they are all different...

[BGboy88]

0:22-0:39 love that sound d*__*b

[maurich123]

ugly

[elevoltek3]

CHAZZ IS MUCH MORE BETTER Oo

[XZeldaLoverX]

that guy sounds like chester >_> But chazz is better :3

[MrJesse3001]

forgotten is better than this

[fidgetingfinch]

Fucking love this. Wish there was more Xero I could listen to other than the 4 song EP. Love the oldschool stuff.

[gyro163]

@fidgetingfinch Xero did a cover of Headstrong. it was pretty good. look it up

[RexusLv100]

@gyro163 Xero = Linkin Park !

[gyro163]

@RexusLv100 i know! im not dumb! lol

[PivotValentine]

@gyro163 Xero have never done a Headstrong cover o.o Trapt didn't even make that song when Linkin Park was still named Xero.... That Headstrong cover is Trapt's demo

[gyro163]

@PivotValentine yeah ive come to figure that out...never believe what you find on the internet lol

[XANTtheGREATX1]

@fidgetingfinch you can listen to the song ground xero by them and i agree oldschool is the best

[SamND967]

Can somebody help me?

Does Mark really say '...far from the rapist...'?

Because it really sounds like it.

[brokensoul619]

@SamND967 lol i guess so.

[chumbucket206]

mark voice is made for nu-metal while chesters voice is made for hard rock melodic

[benderbends1995]

>.< chester is a fag

[Pokewarfare]

in a minute youll find MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEE ugh lol

[skatajake]

I feel that this song has more rock than the newer forgotten 

[WoodCutKing]

Marks not bad, you gotta remember this was recorded in a basement.

[5620200391]

mark sings weak chesters voice is way stronger

[FreshNapp]

YES!

[sonicandmariorulz]

i don't get why everyone's dissing mark. i find him to be pretty good.

[foo125125]

can somone tell me where can i find this lyrics?

[lilalindahouse]

@foo125125 xeroweb dot tk

[l3gend4rydragon]

Mark wakefield doesn't sound that bad...I mean why do people say he sucks....he's not bad.

[inuyasha1102nick]

@l3gend4rydragon its because people are loyal to chester and will say that no matter how good mark sounds.

[bigfoot1838]

@inuyasha1102nick im loyal to both of them

[TheHockeyHawk]

they should totally remake this song, leave more original stuff in it than forgotten.

[15linkinparkdude]

Forget about Mark, hes long gone no sense talking about him...

[BLanger37]

sounds like forgotten

[dome8882]

xD this song isn't bad...

[SamND967]

0:11

"Far from the rapist"? WTF?! Lmao!

[moneywartv]

@SamND967 funny

[TheMadDuckie]

awesome song

[AndyGreat]

i prefer the verses on this one

[DavidPrzDP]

I like this version more than forgotten

[krudmuphinstudioz]

Awesome, Forgotten has slightly more refined lyrics and music though.

[wavehead210]

forgotten is definitely better, but I like how this has a verse that's recycled into Frgt/10, the reanimation version!

[crystalroy]

i think chester is much better than mark mark just sound like somone in that is vomiting while singing

[maclieberman]

@crystalroy hahahahahahahaah this comment is a win! =)

[DavostSupreme]

Did Mike Shinoda remake this song... it sounds similar to a linkin park song.

& yes, I know Mike Shinoda is part of Linkin Park!

[blingadude]

@DavostSupreme As many people have already said, it's Forgotten by LP.

[Chardz666]

@blingadude Lol it's a demo from the band Xero, wich ultimately changed Mark into Chester and became Linkin Park - remade the song into forgotten, so the artist + song is the real mentioned

[xser47]

Perhaps if some of you did some research, you'd know that Xero released their music on old audio tapes which obviously have less quality than today. So stop making jokes about how bad this band is. They have won numerous Grammys and were rated one of the top 5 most sucessful bands of 2000s. Their music is original so if you don't like it don't hate on it.

[ActionHobo2]

they where a lot more creepy back then. their new stuff is just... too happy...

[mariAZNMSK]

i love how this isn't the polished shit linkin park do today.

[budmaz400]

Marks voice reminds me of Dave Mustaine's voice from Megadeth.  I hate it. lol

[rabitshadow]

Forgotten is just a polished version of this song

[kaga400000]

Why the sound of guitars is so poor quality?

[PKJowker]

@kaga400000 because its really old and recorded in Mike's bedroom. Also I think they thought it sounded cool really distorted :P

[ManOutaBricks]

OMG! I would pay fuckin hundreds of dollars for this tape! Its an awesum piece of old Linkin Park Stuff! Well, whats about mark wakefield now?

[THEHUNTER0007]

Mark must be soul derstoyed, he left the 3rd greatest band in existence (For Record sales) either way i think the lyrics are better in the old stuff, even the hybrid demo with chezza the mastaaaa :D

[0ffth3wallz]

Mike's rapping is so sick... I like Mark but when you think about it the play between mike and chesters voice is better.. and how would we survive without chesters screams in this song??

[GeamProducts]

This is Mark Wakefield?

[PhiltheBarb]

@GeamProducts Mark and Mike, if I'm not mistaken.

[Billsgang]

they nicked the name from London NWOBHM band XERO

[crysoarfly]

tight!!

[Xsilo993]

Orginal Forgotten is better :P

[FlyingNifo]

this IS the original Forgotten.

[persish1]

@FlyingNifo yeah but the other one is what white gangster means

[whyman2k10]

@FlyingNifo This is the forgotten ;)

[phenix00000]

@Xsilo993 u mean the newer version...technically this is the original

[Spoons15322]

Wow this is a demo not a perfectly mastered album jesus lay off people.

He is not that bad.

[ShersterQ]

@Spoons15322 Listen to Ground Xero. He's okay but Chester is GREAT.

[8g5f]

but that isnt cheaste who is singing

[Lucrossing]

its mark

[IceKoldKilla1992]

It was the singer before chester back with Xero... called Mark Wakefield

[supermanpop3]

@8g5f chester wasnt in yet it was mark wakefield chester joined in 1999

[DaeronMaxedOut]

marks voice has more bas in it than chester. thats why i like his singing. chester needs bore bass in his voice

[fukthissuxTV]

i actually like marks voice, its pretty cool

[mrhahngreekfan]

and stick n move is like runaway!

[gabunsen]

it's forgotten.....

[GreTikCuteGirl]

@gabunsen it's sorta like a demo of forgotten :)

[nomejodaspincheputin]

it sounds like forgotten, but in a gay way, at lest in the part they say " In the minute you find meeeeeeeeeeeeeee! sooooooooooo gay! O.o

[FanOfChazyChaz]

lol Mark's voice makes me laugh

[Lucrossing]

Mark soudns like chester Oo

[Lucrossing]

Ronaldo

[deadking90]

jsut bad quality upload and demo cd's in them days where aswell

[MsMusicfan11111]

forgotten....?

[Direksone]

holy shit the vocals really are pathetic.. im glad they got chester..

[MsMusicfan11111]

yeah mark sucks!!! i love chester's voice <3 :D

[mcstabbey]

dont really get y every1 loves xero more than LP.... almost all their songs are demos for LP....besides theyre essentially the same band

[peteski2710]

I think most people are saying they don't like minutes to midnight but they like old Lp

[swordmanjv]

I miss the old linkin park i am just 4 years fan of them ( i am 14 ) and i like there hardcore style and mike,s awesome rap there hardcore style gets back in there new album i think but we will see ty fo uploading LINKIN PARK!!

[DeadlyDreamerX]

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core of the rotton

Stop and just what I thought

The sun has escaped us

So I'm bright in the sky

And I'm far from rapist

Look at why did try

Mike will live on for-ever.

[hotfuzz353]

This is a lot more raw than forgotten, I love both versions just as mush as each other though Lol

[Ahmedkhurramanwarkha]

Well wat i think is Chester is better then this guy singing with mike,You can compare it with "Forgotten"

[Direksone]

it is forgotten just some different lyrics and ofcourse forgotten is way better, chester sounds so much better..

[DeadlyDreamerX]

New LP sucks old LP Rox.

I ran as far I can to meet this rhyme.

This new time no need to squeeze limes.

[NickNakszLP]

wtf old lp is betta were ha ur head been!!!! u have no taste maynn!!!

[linkinevelien]

I miss the old LP :-'(

I like MTM, but the older songs had

something that I missed in their newer songs, I think Xero is gone, I miss the old Xero spirit.

Srry for my bad english, but I think that.

[JohnnixD]

the sound has sth old and familiar

thats what i´m missing on mtm

old LP RULES

[Fleskhjerta3142]

that pic really creeps me out

[MemoriesLP]

very goooood!

I like it!

[15stevieg]

lp is NOTHING without BOTH mike and chester.. this song to me, is just a crappy fan made of the amazing lp i know today..

[ShinDaMadness]

Its a demo....Bad recording equipment

[matir666]

@ShinDaMadness I need to remember you it was recorded on a tape ! Ye olde tape :P

[ShinDaMadness]

Oh i forgot about the tape...gotten used to the CD´s.

I think i had a LP tape...i think...

[nublex]

the truth is the new LP is crap for kids

this is pure

[TheLinkinParkChanne1]

it sounds like rage against the machine :o

[vsr23]

this is better cuz its good OLD LPPPPPP

[THEFALLEN093]

forgotten is better dont like xero lp wat wud ye do without chester

[CCtjehh]

omg I don't like the chorus of this one o.o really bad quality.. but I love the beat of this demo

[big0cable]

to make the perfect version of ths song take:

chorus, intro & bridge-forgotten LP

verses-rhinestone HB

[StlyeFree]

Check out the Rhinestone they released as Hybrid Theory in 1999. It's just like that (sorta).

[nublex]

forgotten?

[StlyeFree]

no. They re-recorded Rhinestone with Chester and put it on their 9 track demo they sent to warner. It sounds really good, especially the verses.

[runnaWorkman]

no rhinestone

[macmac451]

better than the original

[hakuboshi1]

wow the remade version is so much better

[rubseman]

OMG the new forgotten is better, and this song i 15 old so the sound is crappy

[TheLastOTTOMAN08]

xero

[FormallyDressedSkull]

this version is much better than forgotten

[CraziiURii]

i love this version better

[WhiteGangster69]

Forgotten is definetly better. But maybe its just the fact that this song is 15 years old so the quality is crappy

[OoSH00FoO]

@WhiteGangster69 actually i think the reason why its crappy quality is because it was recorded in Shinoda's bedroom :]

[HighonExpoMarkers]

@OoSH00FoO

What The Fuck, you guys call this crappy quality? They fucking recorded this in Mike's basement in like 97. And to be honest this sounds too good to be recorded at home. I couldn't even get a recording this good without paying thousands of dollars and it's 2010.

[maclieberman]

@WhiteGangster69 and Chester is in Forgotten..Mark sucks so bad.

[frozunyogurt]

remember, this is just a demo, and its old. plus it wasn't chester back then

[daxombie]

@WhiteGangster69 The quality might not be too good, but I like the feel of these one better. This version has more raw power to it, and a bunch of little touches that really make the song enjoyable (like stronger lyrics, and the ending). I wish they'd play this version live sometime. It'd sound awesome.

[TheJb1rd]

@WhiteGangster69 subtle changes help forgotten become much nicer to listen to

[pockettissues22]

ahoz képest h 20 éves...és 20 éves rmx a frgt/10

de naon durva

ez old school nu metal

[xskizzelzx90]

still sounds great=) but chesters a lot better

[charv3z]

dam mark sounds like chester but chester kicks marks assssss

[XNEXONXx]

WTF ITS FORGOTTEN

[lphunterevilgrin]

im gonna guess this is simply a demo of forgotten before chester came into the band

[bigboom193]

xero was the old linkin park, before chester, this wasn't a demo
