New 'New Divide' video
posted by Jas, 07/01/09 | share
iTunes has a different version of Linkin Park's 'New Divide' music video, just the band performing without movie footage, non US fans can watch it here. Thanks to heyosnow over at LPMB for the tip. I think there maybe another version of this music video which includes the part where the band are being yanked around as seen on the making of the video, I mean why put the guys through all the pain and not use it in the end? and Joe didn't really answer the question during his LPU chat. I think we will probably see the third version in the Transformers 2 DVD, yeah, a reason to make the fans buy the DVD and I won't be surprised if the video will be on the Blu-ray version instead [rolls eyes].

Mike's response
posted by Jas, 06/29/09 | share
Mike has updated his blog with new response to some of the fans' questions including one about 'New Divide'. Speaking of ND, watched Transformers 2 last night, didn't enjoy much, love the funny moments but got bored and tired of robots doing nothing except fighting each other through out the movie. The only cool thing is hearing snippets of 'New Divide' on some scenes and seeing 'Music by Steve Jablonsky feat. Linkin Park' on the screen made me so proud. Anyway, as expected the movie broke record on its opening day earning a staggering $60.6 million in its first 24-hours and $112 million over the weekend. Revenge of the Fallen's Friday-Sunday performance is the first $100 million weekend winner of the year. Five day gross is estimated to be $201 million, making it the second largest in movie history behind only The Dark Knight, which sped to $203.8 million in the same time frame last summer. I don't think any movie will top that in the coming weeks until Harry Potter 6 opens on July 15.

RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett
posted by Jas, 06/25/09 | share
The world lost two iconic figures today, Farrah Fawcett lost her long battle with cancer and passed away Thursday morning and Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest in the afternoon. My prayers and condolence to their fans, friends and families. To most people, 'Thriller', 'Beat It', 'Billie Jean', 'Bad' are their all time favourites but mine will always be 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough', I used to listen to it over and over and over again coz' I just couldn't get it out of my head. It's one of the songs that brings good memories of my teenage years. Rest in peace Michael.

'New Divide' review
posted by Jas, 06/25/09 | share
BBC Radio 1 has this review of Linkin Park's 'New Divide'.

Chester is once again howling his inner turmoil to an uncaring world from the top of some dark wind-blasted mountain while a storm tries to strike his bones from the surface of the Earth. This is what they do. This is clearly what they have been hired to do, and it suits a great big fighty movie rather well.

And the chorus goes to some surprising peaks, melodically, which is always welcome from a band who can occasionally just sit on one note for an entire song and then change the chords underneath. Granted, it's perhaps not as completed a song as it could be, but they're hardly going to use their very best ideas for a Transfomers movie, now are they?
