Pictureboard Demo - Linkin Park 

The long fabled Pictureboard, officially out at last. And MAN, what a track.

Saturday, November 14, 2020 Brad Delson said that Pictureboard was the first song he heard Chester's voice, recent interview ... and that they wanted to meet him immediately ... that's how it all started In any case, Chester sent the demo with new lyrics written by him, that's how it all started.

Linkin Park is saving 2020

Mike's rap in the end sounds like the part in the song "Wretches and Kings" where he goes "From the front to the back and the side to side, If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high"

Hey the track that doesn't exist...

I think this one, She Couldn’t, and Could Have Been are my favs from the unreleased demos

Mike said "This track isn't that good". Well, IM HERE TO TELL YOU THIS SONG IS AMAZING. OH MY GOD THIS IS GOOD. And damn thats a young Chester😂

Only saints like Linkin Park post these for free on RU-vid

Finally, the long awaited Pictureboard is here.

Lyrics: I will be myself Until it's time For me to fly And I will walk away From this message on my board I will walk away, yeah You must be yourself Until it's time For us to fly And I will walk away From this message on my board I will walk away, yeah The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall Calling from all sides, they surround all around You can't see a thing, but you can hear the sounds (I will walk away) Falling from the sky, upside-down To the beat of heart as your whole head pounds (I will walk away) Calling from all sides, they surround all around You can't see a thing, but you can hear the sounds (I will walk away) Falling from the sky, upside-down To the beat of heart as your whole head pounds I will be myself, yeah And I will walk away From this message on my board I will walk away, yeah The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Is where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Is where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall The night in the corner at the back of the hall Is where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall

I can't believe this actually exists, and released officially... what a day. EDIT: Mike's rap towards the end feels similar to a Crawling demo rap, raindrops version

Why do all the unreleased songs have the best bass lines?

I was a huge LP fan in high school and never knew the drama behind this unreleased song. But I've been on a LP kick lately, listening to all their old stuff, and GOD this song is legitimately something special. We miss you Chester.

this was literally the only demo that wasnt leaked online. I had literally EVERY lp demo downloaded back in my childhood, and i searched damn near far and wide to make sure i had every single one and this one was the only one that i coudnt find. what a fucking great song. Sounds straight out of the early 2000s, took me right back to the days of Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle.

And here I thought that maybe Pictureboard was just some urban myth among fans, or got repurposed into another demo that we didn't know about. Though I guess the speculation about "be yourself" or "in yourself" (people couldn't seem to pick one name) being Pictureboard, was in a way accurate. It's nice to see it finally uploaded. Thanks LP for the upload!

I feel like this is what fans wanted for so long, glad they decided to release these. Thank you LP!

Im not first Im not last When i see linkin park I click fast

3:13-4:03 makes me feel so nostalgic I swear😭😭😭

THE HOLY GRAIL!!!!!

And all of sudden I am again a fourteen years old in her room listening to Linkin Park I AM CRYING OF HAPPINESS

God this sounds so much like a Grey Daze style song!

The vocal quality reminds me of Chester's Grey Daze days.

Songs like pictureboard, she couldn't, blackbirds etc show us the soft side of linkin park, which is as good as their other side.

This aesthetic takes me back to a better time.

Goddamn this is beautiful. It embodies so much of my tastes in late 90s and 00s music that in a way that feels distinct from other Linkin Park songs. Puts a soft smile on my face even through lingering melancholy, something about it is oddly soothing to listen to. One of my fav LP songs.

HOW CAN THIS BAND NEVER DISAPPOINT?!?!?!

I actually bought the physical of this, but I’m also glad they posted it on RU-vid and Spotify. Everybody deserves to hear this.!!

Mike's energy hits different in this one

I still can't believe it, it's been years and i still can't believe it How could something so great just disappear like that? Man, life sucks sometimes, but i guess we gotta keep marching on through I just hope there will be some way to fill the hole left by such a legend of a man I don't think i could or would ever forget Chester, He was the centerpiece of a band who showed me something that became part of who i am I hope that regardless of where ever he is now, i just hope he's happy I'm not usually religious in this sort of way, but this is one motivation to believe in heaven Rest In Peace, Chester, ya crazy legend!

What a comfort to the soul

Man, Chester is on another level. I could never gravitate towards any other voices other than his.

20 years on and sounds so fresh, chesters vocals so haunting, so sad he can't be here to see the joy these downloads are giving us he would have loved the response, because he cared so much, thankyou lp for realising them

And I will walk away.. from this message on my board. Night in the corner, at the back of the hall where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall. This brings feelings of so many things left behind.

I've just realised that the video is actually a pictureboard!

I almost feel bad for anyone who hasn’t heard this song

The band was looking for a vocalist and this was the song Chester applied with...when they heard his voice they almost cried from happiness, they new they found the right guy

Nothing better than a Linkin Park marathon to cure depression!!! Let's go!! 💪💪

Linkin Park THE BEST BAND

Right now it's raining at night and I'm just sitting here listen to this and just thinking about life it's a beautiful thing I feel like playing this out there because maybe there's some people who are struggling You Are Not Alone you are never alone you have a purpose don't ever give up hope I hope everyone stay safe out there and hold the ones that you love close

Hey, I'm the 1K message. Thanks to Linkin Park I entered the world of music. Sending them love❤🙌

Y’all aren’t just the best band. Y’all are simply the best dudes, with the best team. The fans love everyone who worked so hard to bring all of this to us 🖤

THIS IS SO AMAZING! Why didn't you released Pictureboard before? It could be an amazing hit!

Every demo song is lit. 2002/2003 was the year I was exposed to LP's iconic song.

This the demo Chester sent to LP for the audition, the rest is history 😢

I feel like my problems disappear one's again listening to one old friend. Remember my shitty life back then when I first met them when I was 11… they kept me here, and keep doing it. Love you forever LP.

Two of my favorite demos are she couldn’t and this

Can't believe you guys were sitting on this beauty for 20 years. Thanks so much for releasing it. Chester's voice is medicine. 🤍

Dude, this track is SICK. not to mention the drums, turntables, mike's rap,,,, man

This is my favorite so far so good to hear his voice again (':

this song tell the perfect story of LP

Some people don't appreciate the talent that is actually in this band.... I love there underground stuff. I listen to there music everyday! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

It's as good as I imagined it, glad I got to see this get released. Love you LP.

These demos are saving me

It's sad that Chester couldn't hear the feedback on these old demos, we love them Mike

This makes me feel like Chester is alive again and now I'm crying for it

SOOOOO GOOD I WANNA KISS THIS SONG

This song is so timeless

This song reminds me of unhappened memories..

I don't know why this song is so good to me, it just is, like, it just evokes this feeling of being alright you know but also being alone, the verses that Mike continue to repeat during the song paints this picture, of this dark isolated place which, for some reason, it's just so cozy for me, i want to be at night, in the back of the hall, listening to the rainfall.

“The night in the corner at the back of the hall Where we sit all alone and listen to the rainfall” Why this make me imagine Chester and Mike sitting by each other’s side hands on shoulders and listening to rainfall 💔

The lyrics are freaking gorgeous

This song came to me just in time. Pray everyone gets through all their hard times.

I've waited years for this song... this will be forever with me now. Thank you Chester, Thank you Linkin Park ❤

Como cuando son una banda tan talentosa que hasta los demos son temazos. Una de mis favoritas sin duda.

How the hell did mike say this song was not that good. Its a masterpiece

finding out that the "be yourself interlude" that they occasionally performed live back in the day was actually the long fabled Pictureboard is basically the discovery of the century

I didn’t know if this sing was good at all but until today it played from my liked songs i found my new fav LP song

This is probably my new favorite LP song, I love it! R.I.P. Chester, such an amazing voice.

they played the beggining of this demo at Rock Am Ring 2001 when they were about to play the song "And One"

my ears have been blessed omfg

wow its been 2 years

I'm losing my mind that it actually exists. I'm crying, thank you LP

This sounds like a really really good RHCP b-side

This actually got me a bit teary eyed. Stay safe, Linkin Park. And rock on! 🤘

When I first heard this on October 8th I was blown away its such a legendary song along with Could Have Been, just shows how powerful Chester voice was.

God it makes me so happy seeing my YT inbox being spammed with Linkin Park videos again after so long. I won't lie, most of the stuff that's been uploaded today has already been released and I've listened to it for hours upon end. But regardless thank you so much for re-releasing everything in a complete package! LP FOR LIFE!

How does this not have more views? What a great track love every bit of it and especially how they ended the track with a high treble sort. RIP chester blessed to have seen you live and were my first concert i attended with incubus on the honda civic tour.! Shoutout to Mike and the crew

And yeah, 20 years later, that VOICE is still healing my mind.. Never be forgotten! Thank you Chaz and LP 🤟🏻❤️

"This imaginary holy grail of a song." And it IS really that great, Mike. Thank you.

i honestly dont know why there isnt more bands that have rap in it, linkin park proves that they are meant for each other yet i cant think of more then like 3 bands that do it

This is one of the few demos I hadn't heard all after all these years. Found it the other day after getting Spotify again. Here I thought I found them all. It's a welcome suprise. Almost like hearing a new song...

Thank you Chester ! For giving me a great childhood. Maybe your are looking down and are seeing this. In the end was the first song I ever heard from you then I just got attached. Linkin park was like the “it band” . I can’t imagine this world without linkin parks song . It’s like it was meant to be heard .

on a LP Demo adventure. Wow! Finding great stuff...

Man, it’s got that Hybrid Theory vibe I’ve been missing! Mixed in with some serious grunge!

Eu amo as Demo dessa banda, véi. Me preenche de saudade de uma "juventude rebelde" que um dia não mais viverei. Meus ouvidos agradecem ❤

Madrugada, eu entro no RU-vid e me deparo com esses presentes do Linkin Park. Assim eu não aguento. Essa é mais uma que eu vou ouvir todos os dias. Amei demais.

From a local unpopular band to a group that will be the (in my opinion) in the best band of the 21st century

The long waited Pictureboard, finally! Thank you guys!

We miss you, Chester. Know that Linkin Park will always be in our hearts.

cant get enough of this song ❤️💔

brad play this on rock am ring 2001..a little part

I stopped listening to LP some years ago because it was hard to imagine that Chester passed away. It's still hard. This band means A LOT to me because of everything I learned from them. I literally owe you, guys. Thank you so much.

One of my favorites from them

This would be a great outro for a Linkin Park documentary

Просто нереальный припев, до мурашек. Юность.

Props to lp for releasing these for free on utube. Best band ever!!

I can’t hear this enough. It’s going to be on repeat for a long while

some grey daze vibes

Loving all these demos and B-sides. Thank you Linkin Park. This is what was missing from out lives. "New" Linkin park music with Chester ♥️

Been a fan since One Step Closer was getting rotation. What a time to be alive.
