How is it possible that even their stuff from THIS deep into their back catalogue sounds this good? I swear Mike is just a hit writing machine

[wavestation]

Mike taking lead all the way back before Hybrid Theory! And it sounds great.

LYRICS:

Save me now
From this mess that I've created
All the souls have gone
And I'm stranded here with doubt and fear alone

Tell me how
I'm in fault for all this madness
I don't know what's wrong
But I cannot help but try to push it

So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)

Save me now
I'm the mess I have created
And my soul has gone
For some reason, all I do is push it

So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)
So far away

It's so far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)
So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)

OMFG Mike singing lead vocals in 1998 and THEN JOE HITS US WITH A TURNTABLE SOLO??

[rajavohra]

amid the chaos they are the ones providing comfort to Chester,

[rambharat]

listening to all the 68 releases in single day ...This feels awesome

[ippotsk]

This almost vaguely sounds like Deftones! Very interesting track.

[danielseale]

Best of all the unreleased and demo tracks. Absolutely love this one

[Mephistopheles]

This song make me feel nostalgic in a way i can't explain...

[bluerosemaiden]

I feel like it's 2007 again, when I first discovered Linkin park.

[scentfulapprentice]

Mike, this sound is actually AMAZING. Continue Linkin Park with this type of sound.

[danielbarrosproject]

Their vocals are so powerful in this one!

[JayFAE]

This sounds like something you'd hear in The Matrix

[Dev-qz]

If LP go back to a nu-metal oriented sound without Chester, this is pretty much what to expect.

[involuntarilyinvolved]

Did not expect this but I'm happy now

[jamesedleymusic]

I think this is my favorite demo they’ve ever put out. It’s so vastly different from what they did with HT and Meteora. For example, if you look at the tab, Brad is doing some really interesting things with the riffs and the octaves. And of course you have Mike singing lead vocals which was unprecedented at the time.

[anjamijailovic]

I LOVE Mike's voice and everything else about this song

[JoshHardy]

Long ago, I used to listen to their underground songs on repeat, for hours.
Awesome music, so unique, unforgivable
They are legends 🤘🤘

[JmpVR_Insane]

Mike: Save Me Now
I'm The Mess I Have Created

For Some Reason All I Do Is Push It


Chester + Mike: So Far Away

Chester + Mike: So Far Away

Hope This Helps Someone :)

This could've easily been one of the main tracks in Hybrid Theory.
