Linkin Park - Faint (Meteora|20 Demo) 

This Demo is INSANE!

This track is proof that Mike was a lyrical beast. Almost seems like he was being restrained for the "general audiences". Love it

You can see how much Chester’s voice adds to the emotion and flow of the track.

Chester in the chorus in my head forever...

LYRICS Back, before I said goodbye Just as the first day turned to night Just as the concrete turned to dust and the steel turned into rust All I could think was a new way to dig through the damage Couldn't think of a way to get through this Now, I see you taking advantage and I find another reason to do this I'm digging us a hole to travel through I wanna find a way to rattle you You wanna try to hear the thunder hit? You're gonna have to follow me under it Let go, it's begun Close your eyes, I'm not done Breathe a word and waste your breath and keep it up until there's nothing left Now, that I said goodbye Just as the darkness turned to light Just as the next light turns to day and the world gets underway All I can see is the anticipation Waiting to take this out on the wind and the raindrops And I waited patiently, taking it in Ready for the first of the face-offs I'm digging us a hole to travel through I wanna find a way to rattle you You wanna try to hear the thunder hit? You're gonna have to follow me under it Let go, it's begun Close your eyes, I'm not done Breathe a word and waste your breath and keep it up until there's nothing left

My mom hated how much I blasted the OG every morning on MTV in middle school. 😂 Love this demo! Happy 20th!! 🎉

I consider myself lucky to have attended some of their live concerts. Faint was one of the best bangers live hyped the crowd for sure, I miss that.

This 20 years old demo is better than today's full fledged songs

You know it’s a great day when you opened you tube and Linkin park has uploaded so many masterpieces

Sounds like something you’d hear in an old need for speed game, love it

I love going down the rabbit hole of Linkin Park demos. It's so fun going through the bajillion demos that they have!

most definitely my favourite so far …. holding in the tears. The lack of Chester hits the feels …

What a birthday gifts from LP! Thank you, Mike Shinoda! ❤️

THAT INTRO IS SO BEAUTIFUL, WHY DIDN'T THEY USE IT ON THE OFFICIAL TRACK?!

20 años guardandose cosas como esta!!! Es indescriptible el escucharlos.

BRO THIS SOUNDS FIRE, and the music videos are soo good

Откуда у Майка такое в голове 20 лет назад? Он явно не с этой планеты :) Звучит просто нереально

Jesus, this slaps. I love the album version as much as anyone else but this gives it a totally different vibe. Mike absolutely killed it.

You almost feel like singing along the released version❤❤.. such an impact you all had on us.. growing up listening to you all made all the difference.

I remember that Mike said Faint is by far one of the songs they were about to scrap, till Mike added "Jazz" into or smth, which made it sounded so different.

I’m so glad Mike is getting his flowers now. He’s the reason I began listening to LP and nu metal in general. I’ll always be grateful to this band for all it has given us.

Joining that japanese flute in the sampling never gets old. Their genre will always be CHAMELEON.

I'M GLAD WE ARE GETTING THE FULL THROTTLE. THIS IS SUPER INCREDIBLE. ♥️💐

This feels like a remix and I absolutely love it

Love all the Original tracks as well as their Demo counterparts too 🤘🏽👽🤘🏽

From 3:21 to 3:57 is just pure bliss I can listen to that part all day. :D

WOW! They should mix this with the released version, with Chester's voice..

It’s crazy how it’s slightly different from the LPU9 Faint demo! Love it!

2:44 The way the figure turned to stare at us was badass

Só a Demo ja é melhor q muita musica lançada Hoje em dia.

3:08 OMG!!!!

this version is insane!

This goes INSANELY HARD! It just proves the point that Mike is a lyrical mastermind. (Great job Mike)

LP pra sempre!!❤

This version of the demo is amazing. Gives me chills!

When I listen to this, I feel like there is something bittersweet about it. Nothing too good, nothing too bad. When I'm in my lows, it reminds me of the good that is ahead of me, and when it's full of joy, I do not have expectations of what is to follow.

Hybrid Theory is great, but Meteora will always have the top place in my heart

As demos ficaram incríveis, engraçado como sempre fico esperando ouvir a voz do Chester ;-; vocês são insanos, continuem esse incrível trabalho!

Its actually crazy how many thougts and changes are made and done to make the final Faint This one already sick af

So, the outros that they usually peformed live for Faint came from the demo. That's actually sick.

Don't turn your back on Linkin Park... _They won't be ignored!_

Recuerdo este demo escuchado en el LPU 09 se convirtió en mi favorito de todos los tiempos, que alegria que lo suelten oficialmente! 🎉🤟🏼

My gut tells me that I grab the original acapella of Faint, and put this as the background, mixing it a bit

Yooo I love the glitchy drums at the beginning and the bit different guitar!!

Ten years now, it's still remaining a masterpiece. Demo and finalized version together make a memorable artifact !

Rocking out in my living room. This demo is crazy. Love it!

I love the animation in these videos. It takes you on a journey.

One of my favorite songs to this day, makes me instantly vibe 😊

In love with this version 😍🔥🔥🔥

Dios, estos chicos si saben hacer un legado, aun cuando esto solo es una demo, suena como uan versión alternativa de la original, Dios!!! Son los mejores, Moteora no había dado el 100% de su poder hasta ahora.🤟🤟🤟🔥

This is actually a slightly different take then the Underground demo of the song that's been around for a while. Listen to the progression of an upload of that version at where the chorus in the finished song would be, and you'll spot it.

It was my first favourite song of Linkin park

Amazing! Love the process that brought it all together ❤

This demo is so much different from the other edits of the faint demo.

This demo is so dynamic l love it so much

CARAJO... ESTO ES MEJOR QUE CUANDO HIZO DUO CON JZ...Y SE LO TENIAN BIEN GUARDADO..MUCHAS GRACIAS LP

Always loved the demo a loooooot. And this version kicks ass too!!

Perfect battle music in my opinion, mike is a lyrical beast

Aujourd’hui je viens de m’acheter l’album,je suis désolé je suis francophone et mon anglais est malheureusement mauvaise vous êtes mon groupe préféré de puis mes 12 ans j’ai grandi avec vos musiques qui ont bercé ma vie aujourd’hui j’ai 35 ans et vous êtes toujours mon groupe préféré. Quand ont m’a annoncé la triste nouvelle non seulement j’avais enterré la totalité de mes grands parents mais aussi une amies en même pas 3 mois j’ai ressenti un vide cette impression d’avoir perdu une partie de ma vie... bref, je suis heureux de vous revoir l’album est juste génial 3 CD de pure bonheurs👍

LINKIN PARK NUNCA DECEPCIONA

Mano que massa essa versão Demo, braba demais

I was obsessed with Faint on the Meteora album back in the day. And now, all these years later, I'm obsessed all over again.

I know this might be just one more comment in millions of millions, but I miss Chester. He's the only person I've never met in real life who's departure has made me legitimately sad in real life. All these tributes are so respectful. Thanks guys.

I really love this demo version

LP droppin' previously unreleased demos is exactly what we needed right now.

If only people could've seen this live. It was 2003 and i saw them live on the Project Revolution Tour in Cincinnati. They played Faint and in the intro, it was this demo's intro. Then. They played the track as it was in the studio. As the breakdown occurs before the outro chorus, they slowed it down and play the actual breakdown of this demo, seamlessly, and Mike spits the first verse of this demo. And, in an instant you hear Chester's growl and flows back into the chorus. As the song beings to conclude they snap back to the closing breakdown of the demo once more all the while Chester's belting out on the top of his lungs "I won't be ignored". It was a sight to see that i wish those who were too young could've experienced. Memories.

I've loved it before.. I love it now.. And I'll always love it.

So beautiful man! Love those demos! FAINT is one the best songs they've made! It's sad that I never saw them live, I wanted to during Rock Im Park in Germany, but yeah...I missed it 😞

i love the visualizer arts in these videos

Is anyone else hearing chester singing and screaming in their head on his parts...

My favorite song with much improvements. I can't ask for more to be happy about .

GADDEAMN, THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD

Love this song

Masterpiece demo's!

Whhhhaaat is so 🔥 listen to this 24/7

all i know is NOSTALGIA! Because i found out all the demos in 2016! 😭🔥💕💕🔥🤘

daaaaang i need to use this for my next street drift video for sure

Amazing!!!Love Chester!

loved this version

I was waiting for Chester to sing ... but then empty music with the deepest meaning and then you realize that he really is no more!

Perfect

WHAT 🤯🤯

This is the first ever song i listened back in 2007...and something clicked in my brain... ❤️

Dude!! Goosebumps!!! ❤

I love this demo!!! 🤘🤘

I wonder how long does it exactly take to create such lyrical masterpieces.

This demo is dopeeeee!

Man, so weird to hear without Chester's vocals in the chorus or the exact instrumental. But it's cool to see how Faint could've sounded. Still sounds good as all Linkin Park projects do

OMFG that was absolutely incredible

Amazing

Oh my! I LOVE THIS!!

Whoa why was this not the OG faint?

Dude... 2:09 good LORD I wasnt expecting that level of hard.

They've used part of the riffs on the extended version of faint in some shows.

this is the best version of this song ♥️much better if also chester had a vocals like shinoda did.

Me encanto cada segundo

When LP puts more effort into remastering a 2 decade old demo than the majority of "artists" put unto their new "music" nowadays

This video looks like an episode of Samurai Jack and I love it!

Love it !

LINKIN PARK . . . thank u soo much 🤘, we will miss u chazy . . .
