Mike Shinoda - "A Hybrid Theory-style Demo"

During Mike Shinoda live streaming earlier, he decided to create a demo which based on Hybrid Theory-style. This is the result he did and AMAZING. Mike say he might release this uncompleted demo (without vocal).
As for now, enjoy this rough demo.

[@MyKittyPercy]

If I didn’t see Mike create this with my own eyes, there is no way I would believe this is from 2020. It’s so Meteora!

[@2Kanaltonstereo]

It is. I received a Mail from LPU. Mike composed this song on saturday. There is a video on his channel.

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

I actually think more of pre historic LP. Like And One vibes in structure and sound. Meteora was a little more about grandiose soundscapes with the OG formula

[@neomp5]

sounds minutes to midnight to me

[@Faks.09]

@@neomp5 well Meteora was more about heavy distorted guitars than MtM

[@osamanoor9797]

Go to mike's KZbin channel.. He created this on a live stream.. The video is available

[@gannymarcia817]

I was waiting for Chester to start slow singing at 0:30 then raise his voice during 0:45 idky but i really miss him (mike did an amazing job as always)

[@Daniel-py5fq]

I'd rather expect mike rapping at 0:30 and then at 0:45 chester starts singing

at 0:51 same Guitar like on Somewhere I Belong

or crawling

[@fallen_angel1429]

Drum line similar to what I ve done Strings similar to crawling

[@luciussavagemusic]

It's because of the whole Major key over a Minor key

[@Vegitobluuuuu]

Chocolate Bañado crawling is played faster

[@johanlano9490]

It's closer to meteora, HT was more raw than this one

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Well of course,after 20 years he’ll be much more refined

[@renatoshima4682]

Not only that but the pad sounds and the piano riff (that is not even a proper riff, just chords) don't give you the same experience.

[@lorenzograziosi8270]

It's half HT and half MTM for me, the guitar riff could be of HT EP, but the melody reminds me of LPU XI

[@angusmorris4154]

[@fngrprnts.official]

this would've made chester scream out his guts. damn i can imagine his voice.

[@BlinkPS2]

Listening to this makes me wish they could have made just ONE MORE ALBUM in the very same vein of Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Just one more album that replicates those two. It really could have been done.

[@bop1886]

It’s called hunting party

[@BlinkPS2]

@@bop1886 Good album but not quite there

[@joshuvuh8118]

@@bop1886 hunting party is good but it does not have the same vibe aesthetic and energy of hybrid and meteora that we love. It’s aggressive but sounds completely different than their early stuff. Their whole discography is pretty fascinating

[@davidnissim589]

Hunting Party is good and heavy, but it doesn't have the same style as Hybrid Theory/Meteora. It's more of a "rock" album than a nu metal album tbh@@bop1886

[@yuritarelko9916]

That chords and harmony in 0:52 - typical HT\Meteora riffs :)

[@radamtv4779]

1:50 is the part where Chester would start to scream

[@brendaluna173]

I can literally hear Chester's voice in this, like I have inside my mind parts where he'd sing and where he'd scream.

[@jesuslovessatan]

Or, this is how Points Of Authority, Runaway or Pushing Me Away would pro’ly sound like if they were made this year.

Un comentario en español es tan increible ver como personas ven que es de the hunting party, meteora, hybrid theory y hasta minutes to midnight para mi eso es un logro de linkin park lograron no encacillarse en in genero y hacerlo ver en varios albumenes aunque fuera distinto

[@abelmora6344]

Sí aunque yo estoy del lado de quiénes dicen que suena a Meteora. Incluso oyendo los demos de Meteora de por allá el 2002 suenan idénticos a este demo.

[@georgebugax5689]

THANK YOU MIKE Loving it .

[@mikely4180]

Nice! Thanks for making this, i have been looking for it right after i´ve seen the stream recording

[@dumbguychannel445]

Mike made this in an hour, imagine how dreadful it would be if LP sold out by doing Hybrid Theory/Meteora sound for decades. Would people really prefer this (this sounds awesome btw) over and over again, over things like MTM, ATS, LT, THP, and OML? It would be such a tired sound.

[@carlosurquiza1021]

Tired to who? As far as I know people have been asking for this sound for over 10 years.

[@usmcbf3090]

Nu Metal can be complicated if Linkin Park wanted it to be complicated. They could have created something like Northlane's Alien, plus if you check out their LPU demos, especiall LPU 12 Demos, there a handful of Nu metal songs that sound just awesome and are actually progressing the Nu sound. These demos sound nothing like copies of Meteora nor Hybrid Theory, they are a clear sign of progress

[@leonardomf93]

Carlos Urquiza Look what happens to nu metal bands. They disappeared! It’s better people asking for something like u did in the past than nobody asking for anything and don’t care about what you u do.

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

Carlos Urquiza ive been in your same shoes my guy. I love the OG sound but I think they had to move on. I imagine it was fun figuring out all the pieces to make hybrid theory because mike was so young and intrigued by everything he experimented with but there’s not much further they could have pushed all that early formula

[@carlosurquiza1021]

@@Greatlakeskyle. But that stems from the myth that artists and bands can't remain revelant while maintaining their original sound which isn't true at all. Many artists have stood the test of time, it just depends on the sound itself.

[@ardianaz5599]

There's no only Hybrid theory, i also hear meteora and the hunting party style This is my opinion 2:06 it's meteora guitar style 1:51 & 2:35 it's the hunting party drum style

[@floor13]

Say yes and I will set the world on fire

[@kenndean9102]

Michael Shinoda, you have done it again. 😌

[@Irrev77]

I really would love to see him turn this into a fully produced song. It'd also be cool to have someone close to the band come and scream over the parts Chester would've been in. Any suggestions, you guys? I'd say Austin Carlile if he hadn't quit music for medical reasons.
