Listening to nearly this entire 20th anniversary album in order at 3am, my ears and brain are deep fried and overloaded, and that's exactly what I come here for.

[@karankumar4384]

Vocals on the other figure 9 2002 demo and the riff near bridge of this would've made a great combo

[@deniel25]

I was waiting for those vocals to kick in 🥲. Still great though.

[@Blessthefall333ccc]

Somebody will do it here on KZbin, lol

[@DarkValhalla-lu9ct]

​​@@Blessthefall333cccyes, and i did it, under a song title "Look Behind". It goes really well like people who haven't heard demo would think that it is a full song. I'm also did the resolution and the wizard song mashup under a song title "The Wizard's Resolution" . It ain't perfect but it is the best you probably ever heard (at least for now)

[@AxelReolon]

the bridge riff is super crazy :D

[@joeyortiz7359]

This is so crazy! So Figure.09 was supposed to be a sequel to One Step Closer all this fucking time? I fucking love it ❤

[@ondraspendlik9759]

I noticed a similarity between the two songs a some time ago. The riffs are similar, including the switch from the more muted to the louder parts, the song structure is basically identical, even including the pre chorus interludes, they just seem to have a lot in common.

[@joeyortiz7359]

@@ondraspendlik9759 I saw another comment that mentioned "Pushing Me Away" inspired to that same effect "Numb". I can hear it in all four songs how they flow into one another. I hope we get more things like this for future albums!

Where does it say that it was supposed to be a sequel?

So when is someone going to take the Figure.09 demo from LPU9 with Chester's vocals and mash it up with this Plaster 2 Figure.09 demo with Mike's vocals?

[@maxdelacruz.0228]

LYRICS The light kicks in and the night begins Goes back to the way that it was before I gave everything that I can't give in And still you look at me like I owe you more So I take what's mine, until it all it's gone Thinking of other ways that you do me wrong And the lights stay out and the night goes on and force things to fit when they don't belong Even in the times when I backed away I still found everything coming back to you But I never believed all the things that you say until I found out that I was saying it too So I tried to undo what I thought was gone Trying to take it back how I did you wrong And as the lights stay out and the night goes on I pretend that I fit where I don't belong

The little pre-chorus segment is freaking sick. I wouldn't say it's better than the final product, but I definitely think it's a shame that I don't recall them ever coming back to that idea again.

[@Sa-me-so-su]

For who dont know This song is version2 of "one step closer" So they have old same name (demo name)

[@Filippooooo]

Linkin Park were not trying to make a version2 of One Step Closer. They just named the demo Plaster 2 because the intro riff reminded them of the one in One Step Closer (plaster). But early demos name have little importance for LP so this has very little to share with One Step Closer

[@SchnitzeIkuchen]

Great track 😊

I admit, these demos still hold up good today. I personally like Healing Foot myself.

[@musicaltaurus3309]

If you merge Plaster 2 with the Primal Version of Figure.09, you'll get a complete demo that makes you question your existence and or sanity. I would love to see that happen.

The bridge breakdown from 2:06 to 2:26 sounds like something that would come from an old WWE game, maybe something like WWE SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth!. I actually think that this whole song sounds like it could fit the vibe of the background songs in that game, to be honest.

[@Armstrong90951]

Love this version of figure 09 out of all of them more raw I feel

[@exeromusic]

I think the reason why Chester is absent on so many of these demos was because, as revealed in the Meterora Documentary, Chester was sick for most of Meterora.

[@AnthonyStatenMusic]

He got sick during the last week of recording and they had to finish vocals for 2 songs while the album was being mixed. That's it.

[@camillecan8535]

C'est vraiment horrible de faire ça chaque démo me donnent envie de pleurer quand je me dis que c'est fini tellement ça me fait remonter de souvenirs

[@JT_onthacourt]

Giving me Hybrid Theory Vibes except without Chester's voice. Imagine what these demos would have sounded like with him singing the chorus

[@razorback9999able]

The first line of this song reminds me of the Night Watch Oath from Game of Thrones. "Light kicks in and the night begins" sounds like "Night falls, and now my watch begins".

Bits of this does have mid to late 90s vibe i can see why they demo'd it but still ❤

[@LMTF35]

Definitely like the final version but probably better than most demos

[@LordSkullFreak]

The snare hits so much stronger in this version, I think the snare in this version is better honestly. The official version is one of my most favorite Linkin Park tracks.

[@m0002856]

Also: After listening to this and the other demo that is more basic and features Chester's vocals only- I'd assume the writing process for this song was something like as follows: Chester probably came up with a sick idea and recorded the original demo with his voice. It's pretty basic, lacks some of the more refined guitar work of this demo, and doesn't have any of the added effects like the intro segment. He probably was super happy with the original idea (rightfully so), sent it over to Mike who then added his rap ideas, added effects like the intro sequence, and updated the guitar work to be more interesting with those big open chords. Not sure if it was only Mike who had a hand in those additions and alterations. There's probably a metric ton of missed steps in between those two and in between this demo and the final version, but it's still cool to get a picture of how some of these songs were likely concepted, written, and iterated upon by the band. We know that they did this process with a lot of their music and it's like... I think the fact that they did have multiple songwriters really only enhanced the final products. One person comes up with an awesome idea that they're excited to share with the band be it a guitar riff, a chord progression, a melody, or some kind of feeling, and they take it and run with it. I'd assume most of the changes to the song between this and the final product were the band coming up with different lyrics that all fit together and then probably some interference from the producer/label telling them to change some things up to make it more different. I'd almost pin the guitar work in the chorus being changed as a result of producer interference telling them that it was too similar to the verse and to change it up a bit to catch the ear of the listener more than if they repeated the same idea from the verse. That's usually the kind of thing that the producers would have an influence on. The fact that they were able to write music this way without stepping on anybody's toes shows the level of respect that they had for each other, and it really only served to enhance the songs they were making. I love seeing this peak behind the curtain. I know Mike has gone on record as having expressed hesitance toward making this 20th anniversary album as they didn't want it to become an expected trend with all of their stuff, but something about his response to the Meteora 20th album tells me that he had a really good time going through their old stuff after the initial hesitance wore off. I hope the time spent sifting through the old work was memorable and pleasant, and I look forward to never seeing another 20th anniversary release from you guys *unless* you guys decide that *you* want to do it again and it isn't something that you're pressured to do.

The Intro Riff is Just like the Final Version of “Figure.09”

[@cheesy124entertainment7]

So, it turns out that there are two versions of the Figure.09 demo. Figure.09 (2002 Demo): With mostly of Chester's vocals. Figure.09 (Demo (Meteora Version)): With Mike's two rapping verses.

[@Lenkz_]

Yeah, but this version has more of the music of the original/album version. It's very interesting hearing these two demos and then the original.

[@cheesy124entertainment7]

It's so weird hearing this song without Chester's vocals in the chorus. I like the sound of this version better than the official version. It's too bad that Chester's vocals aren't in this version.
