Pictureboard Demo - Linkin Park 

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.

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

Linkin Park is saving 2020

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

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"

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

Hey the track that doesn't exist...

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

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

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.

Finally, the long awaited Pictureboard is here.

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😂

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

THE HOLY GRAIL!!!!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

Mike's energy hits different in this one

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

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

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!

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

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

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

What a comfort to the soul

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.!!

this song tell the perfect story of LP

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

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

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

“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 💔

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

Linkin Park THE BEST BAND

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

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

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

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

This song reminds me of unhappened memories..

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

This song is so timeless

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.

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

SOOOOO GOOD I WANNA KISS THIS SONG

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

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

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

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 🖤

These demos are saving me

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

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

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.

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

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

wow its been 2 years

The lyrics are freaking gorgeous

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

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

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

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

Просто нереальный припев, до мурашек. Юность.

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

For those that dont know... the band said this is the FIRST song they heard Chesters AMAZING voice on

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

This would be a great outro for a Linkin Park documentary

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

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

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.

cant get enough of this song ❤️💔

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

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

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 .

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

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

One of my favorites from them

some grey daze vibes

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

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

Linkin park is the only entity that has never betrayed me.

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

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...

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

THIS WHY I'M HAPPY TO BE ALIVE 🖤

This is a super nice song from Linkin Park!

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

Where'd you go? I miss you so, seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Chester and Mike, forever!

They just said in interview with Zane Lowe that this demo was sent to Chester as instrumental and he send them tape back with vocals.

Chester is legend 👏👏❤🎧🎸

This is a great song! I’m glad to hear it and appreciate Linkin Park for releasing it.

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

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