its probably a b-side they had left over from somewhere that they maybe made a change or 2 to but they know that they could sell a million copies and help out a good cause... no problem with this

They're running out of space to put the dead so they are actually digging up previous graves and putting 3-5 more bodies into a coffin than already were there. They're also scooping them up and tossing them into large landfill-like pits because they have no other place to put them. The dead of course.

I really don't want to make a joke about how those beats are so good they can shake the ground.


But honestly, wouldn't it be better just to donate some money from the band to the relief fund and not depend on people to buy the track?

The one thing that suprises me about Linkin Park, at this stage of their career is that they still know how to put out a good single. Even though I haven't loved this band in 7 years.

While the new LP song isn't that brilliant, it shows they really are branching out more with their new stuff. This just got me excited for more new material by them (and yes, I love LP, suck it).

And, NotMrBlonde, I'm fairly sure they'd donate as well, but this is a way to get more. It's good of them to do this, I don't get complainers.

this isnt all that profound. the "buncha kids" would just steal it anyway, regardless of whether it
was free or paid. The downloading procedure is two buttons after u register ure email. next to one
another there's (download) (donate). if you want to donate, donate. If you just want the free
tracks, no need to donate. i don't get why this is such a big deal other than people like jumping on
linkin park.

All-American Rejects are so much better remixed than when their songs are played normally.

i wasn't aware there was a debate and that we were on different sides here, or that or that anyone disagreed with me? charity CD's have been around for like...ever? Sputnik charlatans, on the other hand...

^123.

If you are bitching about why it has to be bad music, just think about it. The majority of America listens to this type of stuff. They don't like great music. They're not trying to get hipster cred with their music, they are trying to get people to donate to the charity to download the song, which is where I see kind of an iffy thing with what PanasonicYouth is saying. I think it would be smart of them do also donate as a band since they are probably very well off themselves and who knows, maybe the members individually have also donated large sums of money.

I couldn't help but laugh when I read that. But holy crap, it must be a mess over there. I'm sorry for their loss. My prayers are with them.

Going completely off topic here. Regarding that pic we have for LP (the one at the top), did anyone else think that the video it's taken from ripped off Sunshine hard?

Yes, and if you think that "what's sad" is their questionable motives, rather than the fact hundreds of thousands are dying, then you're a twat.

Actually, this is probably a great selection of bands for this type of thing. Considering they're all rather popular, more people are likely to visit the sight and download/donate.
