He was on it. If you listening very closely you can hear him do the backing vocals towards the end of the song

On May 15, Linkin Park will unleash Minutes to Midnight, their much-anticipated follow-up to 2003's Meteora. And though the album has been in the works for nearly four years now, it's actually based on a concept that's much, much older and much, much creepier than you might expect. "The title is a reference to the Doomsday Clock, which was created by these scientists at the University of Chicago after the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan to end World War II," Linkin Park co-frontman Chester Bennington explained. "Given the idea that mankind now had this ultimate destructive power, they were contemplating what the repercussions of this would be and the idea that the end of the world could be imminent. "After WWII, when the Soviet Union tested their first bomb, the Doomsday Clock was set. It basically has hands from the 45-minute mark until midnight ... and at 45 past the hour, it means the world is relatively stable, but since we have this [nuclear] power, we're always just 15 minutes away from the end of the world," he continued. "And when the U.S. and the Soviet Union were involved in their nuclear standoff in the 1960s, the clock was set at three minutes to midnight. And it's moved back and forth about 18 times since its inception. Right now we're at [five] minutes until midnight." And while Bennington insists that the new Linkin Park album — co-produced by Mike Shinoda and Grammy winner Rick Rubin (see "Rubin Turns To Linkin Park, Weezer After Winning Buckets Of Grammys") — isn't going to be a complete rumination on the perilous state of the world, he does acknowledge the fact that for the first time, the band is writing about "things they wouldn't have touched" a few years back. Which sort of makes the Midnight metaphor all the more apt. "When we wrote Hybrid Theory, I was the oldest one in the band and I think I was 23 or something. And things that weren't important to us then are definitely important to us now. And while we don't write too specifically about most things, there's definitely a political hint to some of the songs," Bennington said. "So I thought of the Midnight concept, not just in relation to the world, but in relation to the band. What people have known Linkin Park as, and how they will know them as when they first hear the album ... that's going to change. The way we've been classified, and how people think they know us, that's all going to die." Take, for example, Minutes to Midnight's first single, "What I've Done." Written by Bennington and Shinoda after the band had decided on the whole Midnight concept, it's Linkin Park dropping the bomb on their rap-rock roots and embracing a new, more stripped-down sound (see "Linkin Park Say Nu-Metal Sound Is 'Completely Gone' On Next LP"). "Joe [Hahn] came up to Mike and I and asked us to take the whole idea of Minutes to Midnight and apply that to how the band has changed. So, in a way, it's us saying goodbye to how we used to be," Bennington said. "The lyrics in the first verse are 'In this farewell, there is no blood, there is no alibi,' and right away, you'll notice that the band sounds different: The drums are much more raw, the guitars are more raw and the vocals aren't tripled. It's just us out there ... and that's how Rick wanted it. Basically he told us, 'If it sounds like it could've been on the first two records, then we're not going to work on it.' " Currently, Linkin Park are whittling down a list of 17 songs to make the final Midnight track list, and while there are no sure bets about just what will make the cut, Bennington is hoping that one song in particular — "The Little Things Give You Away" — will be there. Bennington calls the track "the pinnacle of what we can achieve as a band," underscoring its expanse and sonic grandeur. It is — in short — the audio equivalent of the detonation of an atomic bomb, which you'd think would make it a mortal lock for an album about blowing things up and starting all over again. "It's an epic song, but it's also kind of delicate in a lot of ways. There's a great guitar riff that comes in acoustically, and the words really say a lot. And I think that they'll touch people in a way Linkin Park haven't touched people before," he enthused. "And there's a breakdown that's my favorite moment on the record. It's beautiful and timeless-sounding, with this great synth sound ... and Brad [Delson] breaks into this beautiful solo and it just builds and builds and builds until it breaks down into this a cappella section. It's a huge explosion of sound, over six minutes long, and it's truly, completely amazing. And I can't wait for people to hear it." vh1.com

A great JJFP album. I say JJFP cause that's what it is

I had my I-pod on shuffle today and when Just Kickin it came on i was reminded of how great it is. Everything about that song is perfect, The smooth beat, the smooth flow just everything It's an awesome chilled out song

Well he haven't really done alot this time around to actaully win it. Yes he has The Pursuit of Happyness out but i don't think that kids would enjoy that movie to much, they may find it boring

This year Will didn't win the KCA for best male actor. Adam Sandler won it If only we all voted for Will a little bit more but with the KCA i think we all got a little too cocky lol

Well maby if the record labels stoped putting out the crap that they do then maby it wouldn't be dead Just a thought

Well you all gotta admit Michael Jackson's cameo in MIIB was pretty sweet ''I could be agent M'' :lolsign:

Sometimes i think more simple lyrics can have a bigger effect than complex lyrics. Take Tell me why for example the lyrics on there arnt really complex but it has great effect on the listener Sometimes the simpiler it is the more effective it is

I guess i should say that i'm not talking about hip hop lyrics. I'm talking about lyrics in general

I'll give my opinion in a bit. Gotta think about this first

My top music videos of all time would be (in no order) a-ha - Take on me Linkin Park - PTS.OF.ATHRTY Red hot Chilli Peppers - Californication Fresh Prince - Party Starter Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal Peter Gabriel - Sledge hammer What are yours?

Will does a 5 minute speech about positive thinking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oENmXKKlCAI

To me Men in black has one of the best movie endings ever. I just love that shot of the camera going through Space

Eminem tried to justify himself for trying to rip into Michael Jackson with Just Lose it and then went on to do interviews not apologizing for what he's said and done but to further insult Michael telling him to get over it, now he wants the courts to stop his wife from doing the same! Trying to use his daughter as an excuse but he didn't care what (Just lose it) would do to Michael's children! carma is a bitch aint it!!!! Here's the article http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...METRO/703230355 Thanks to the Michael Joe Jackson forum for the information Damn Eminem is such a hypocrite

(sarcastically) no way tim! the record labels are wise and all-knowing. no way would they put out rubbish. Yeah. The record companies are wise and all knowing :sipread:

Am i the only one who enjoys the old school video games more than the new stuff that's coming out? The graphics on the newer games are fantastic but there's just something about them old school games that makes me like them better. IMO no matter how good graphics are on video games today you can't beat the classics such as Sega, Snes, Super Nintendo etc

I'm always voting Will must win the best award ever. IMO the KCA tops the oscars, the grammys and any other fancy award show

Linkin Park's new album entitled ''Minutes to midnight'' will be out on May 15th. The first single ''What i've done'' will be out on April 2nd

http://home.bellsouth.net/s/editorial.dll?...ainment&ck= Cowell Says He's Bigger Than Springsteen Published: 3/15/07, 7:25 PM EDT NEW YORK (AP) - Simon Cowell says he's bigger than The Boss. In an interview to air Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes," the "American Idol" judge says he's worth five times more to Sony BMG than Bruce Springsteen. "I sell more records than Bruce Springsteen, sure," Cowell says of the 57-year-old rocker, who signed a contract that was reported to be in the neighborhood of $100 million. "I mean, in the last five years, I've probably sold over 100 million records. If (Springsteen) got one hundred (million dollars), I should have got five hundred (million dollars)," he says. Cowell says he sells all those records because he's signed "the biggest artist on the planet" - Fox network's "American Idol." "Every single `Idol' winner is now signed through Sony BMG," says Cowell. "And this applies to ... all the countries ... we sell `Idol' to, which is over 30 countries." Albums by "American Idol" winners and runners-up are distributed by labels within the Sony BMG system through a deal between Clive Davis and 19 Recordings Unlimited, the label managed by "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller. Interviewer Anderson Cooper asks Cowell, 47, whether his deal with Sony BMG is in the same neighborhood as Springsteen's. "A hundred million ... that's a great deal," Cowell says. Was he referring to himself or Springsteen? "For him," Cowell says, grinning. "For him it's a good deal." _______________________________________________________________________________ *sigh* Another ''behind the music'' man who thinks he's bigger than the artist and just how many records have Simon sold? I've never seen an album by him out in the shops lol
