Ok, I'm sure that at least a few of us have noticed that people will post about a Linkin Park song that they never made and people rarely listen when you tell them that LP never made it So I figure this list would be a good idea. I started typing one up and then I realised there's actually one on the LPMB here that's done a lot better than the one I was working on, so I'll just copy and paste it here for ease. -Giving In: This one is commonly labeled as "Adema featuring Chester Bennington." Chester is not in this song. Marky Chavez (no longer the singer of Adema I might add) sings that song in a way that sounds sort of like Chester, but it's all Marky. Chester DID appear in Adema's video for The Way You Like It, along with Joe and Jake (LP's security guy). Apparently, Chester did sing this song live with Adema once during Projekt Revolution 2002, but there is no recording of it anyway.
-Tupac and Biggie Tribute: This is a song by a group called City Clay, which was recorded as a tribute to Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. On many P2P programs, it's labeled as featuring Linkin Park and a bunch of other rappers/bands. This led people to think Mike was rapping in the song, but LP was not involved in it in any way.
-My Reason: This song is by the band Spiritfall, but was labeled as Linkin Park on P2P programs as well as unofficial bootleg CDs such as Under Attack.
-I Just Want Your Company: This song is actually the song Bartender by (Hed)pe, but was labeled as Linkin Park on P2P programs and unofficial bootleg CDs.
-Room 105: Labeled as a "rare garage demo" on P2P programs, it's actually by some unknown garage band, not LP.
-Straight Up: Another song that was labeled as LP on P2P programs
-Faded: Yet another song labeled as LP on P2P programs
-Body Crumbles: This song is by Dry Cell, and is on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, which also features the song System, sung by Chester. However, Body Crumbles sometimes shows up on P2P programs as LP.
-Pool of Death: Another LP-labeled song on P2P programs.
-One Night: Not LP, some fake song labeled as LP on letssingit.com
-Piercing the Skin: Not LP, some fake song labeled as LP on letssingit.com
-Open Your Eyes: Not LP, some fake song labeled as LP on letssingit.com. Alter Bridge has a song by this title though.
-Without You: Not LP, some fake song labeled as LP on letssingit.com
-Wrath of Me: Not LP, some fake song labeled as LP on letssingit.com
-Ground Xero: This song is by the singer from when LP was called Xero, Mark Wakefield. However, it is commonly mistaken as a Xero song, when in fact none of the other band members were involved in it. The song was recorded after Mark left the band.
-Broken Glass: This song is by The Blank Theory, but was labeled as LP on P2P programs.
-Paranoia: This has been long rumored to be a title for the demo of Papercut. For one thing, no demo of Papercut is available to the public, and secondly, Mike has said that Papercut was a working title. Why would there be a working title for a working title? If there is a demo of the song, it'd just be called Papercut.
-Creep: This is labeled as LP on P2P programs, I haven't downloaded it so I don't know what it is. I've heard that it's just Carousel, but if it's a different song, it's probably the song Creep by Radiohead.
-Painted Pictures: This is a song by the band Sean Dowdell and His Freinds, which later became Grey Daze. Chester sang this song, but no REAL mp3 has been released of it. A fake mp3 of it was circulated a while back, if you have this mp3, it is actually an old Stone Sour demo called Can't Believe.
-Vertical Limit: This is actually a Linkin Park song, but mislabeled. It's basically Points of Authority with an alternate rap verse. Some people label it as a demo, however it was actually on the soundtrack to the movie Little Nicky. It was labeled Vertical Limit because someone thought it was in the movie Vertical Limit. The song isn't actually in the movie or on the soundtrack however, it's from the Little Nicky soundtrack and can be heard in the movie.
-Plaster: This was the working title for One Step Closer, and probably what the demo of it was recorded as. However, chances are 99% that no real mp3 of the song exists, and most likely any "Plaster" you come across is a fake.
-Don't Stay vs. 99 Problems/ 99 Problems vs. One Step Closer: These 2 songs are commonly mislabeled as Collision Course demos. These were actually fan-made mashups from al-b3.com that were made long before Collision Course came out.
-Don't Remember: This is labeled as "Limp Bizkit featuring Linkin Park" but it's just an old Limp Bizkit demo, LP wasn't involved in it.
-Esaul (featuring Taproot, Limp Bizkit, etc.): Some people for whatever reason have labeled the demo version of A Place for My Head as having guests from Limp Bizkit and Taproot in it. This is not the case, it's just LP's demo, nobody else involved in it.
-It's Goin' Down: A lot of people think that all of LP was involved in the recording of this song, but it's not true. The album version of this song was made entirely by the X-Ecutioners, Mike Shinoda, and Joe Hahn. Phoenix, Rob, and Wayne Static (Static-X) are seen playing in the video, but they are just cameos that weren't involved in the actual song.
-One Step Closer (No Doubt Cover): This song is on here for one reason: No Doubt never covered it. This acoustic cover is actually by a woman named Deena Noroian, and it's even on her official website. Her voice just happens to sound like Gwen Stefani's.
-State of the Art (album version): The song State of the Art was by Chester Bennington and DJ Lethal, and has only been aired twice on the radio by 91X in California. The "album version" mp3 that has been floating around is a fan-made remix, which loops instrumental sections where the radio ads would be, essentially an "ads-free" version. It is not, however, the actual album version, which has yet to be released.
-Something I Can Never Have (Nine Inch Nails cover): Some people think LP covered this song live. However, all they did was play the original Nine Inch Nails recording of the song over the speakers before a lot of concerts in 2003/2004. It served as a sort of mood-setting intro to the concert, but LP didn't play it.
-Sometimes, Hole, What's in the Eye, The Down Syndrome "Live Acoustic" songs, Morei Sky Audition (Grey Daze): These 5 tracks are real Grey Daze tracks. However, they are mislabeled. Sometimes, Hole, and What's in the Eye are not live OR acoustic. These 3 songs each have 2 different versions of them: one version on the Wake Me album, and one version on the No Sun Today album. They are not demos as some people think. The Down Syndrome actually is a live acoustic recording (in a studio), but it was just the bonus track on No Sun Today. The Morei Sky Audition track was the bonus track on Wake Me.
-Bring Me to Life: This one is pretty obvious since it was a huge single and everything, but a few P2P programs still label Evanescence's song "Bring Me to Life" as featuring Linkin Park. The guy that raps in the song is Paul McCoy from 12 Stones, although interestingly enough, Wind-Up Records wanted Amy Lee to ask Mike Shinoda to do the part, but she never asked him because she knew he probably wouldn't have.
-BYOB: Wow. I'm sorry, but this is getting rediculous here. Some people are actually dumb enough to think Chester is in System of a Down's song BYOB. Come on people, BYOB is like one of the most played songs right now, don't you think SOMEONE on the radio, TV, or the SOAD/LP websites would have mentioned that Chester was in it? He isn't, and I'm dumbfounded that people are this gullible.
-Dust in the Wind: I've seen this one pop up once in a while, apparently someone did an acoustic cover of Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" and it got labeled as LP. I've downloaded the song, and it's not LP. Originally I thought it was just the version by Kansas, but it's not. Not sure who actually recorded it, but it's not LP in any case.
-Internet Emcees: Rumored to be a song by Xero, however this is not the case. Rumor just started because a line in the song is something like "spelled x-e-r-o". It doesn't sound like Mike or anyone from LP/Xero though.
-And One/Step Up/Dedicated "Demos": There is some confusion surrounding these songs, all for the same reason. Dedicated was labeled "Dedicated (Demo 1999)" on the LPU 2.0 CD. However there is only ONE version of the song, the one on LPU 2.0 isn't a demo version that there is another version of. Step Up was labeled as "Step Up (1999 Demo)" on the In the End single, but it is the same version as the EP version. And One was on the Hybrid Theory demo disc, but it is also exactly the same as the EP version.
-Faint vs. Toxic: Some people think this is an official mashup that LP actually made with Britney Spears. HAHAHAHAHA wow. It's a fan-made mashup, nothing official.
-Trailer Park: This song is by Blinking Underdogs, but is seen on P2P programs once in a while labeled as Linkin Park.The Madman returns: This one is fairly recent. It is credited to Mr Hahn, but more then likely it's a fan remix. More then half of the song sounds as though it was cut from session, and there's a really b cut and paste job of the "Mister Hahn" sound from Cure for the Itch. This one isn't confirmed as one or the other, but more than likely it was fan remix, there could have been a flue and the guy that made it shared the last name with Joe. Approach with cation.

While I'm at it, I may as well do a small bit on CD releases.
Linkin Park has 6 albums, 5 of which are in circulation.
These consist of;
Hybrid Theory EP
-Carousel
-Technique [short]
-Step Up
-And One
-High Voltage
-Part Of Me
The Hybrid Theory EP was technically not by Linkin Park. This was released under the name Hybrid Theory. I believe only 1000 copies of the original were released and it was also reissued as part of the LPU1 package. It's may be interesting to note that Phoenix was not a part of Hybrid Theory as he was on tour with The Snax, he returned somewhere between release of Linkin Park's first single, One Step Closer, and their second single, Crawling. However his input from the Xero days was used.
Hybrid Theory
-Papercut
-One Step Closer
-With You
-Points Of Authority
-Crawling
-Runaway
-By Myself
-In The End
-A Place For My Head
-Forgotten
-Cure For The Itch
-Pushing Me Away
Hybrid Theory was Linkin Park's debut and the groups first commercial release. It was released October 24, 2000. The first single was One Step Closer, followed by Crawling and In The End. It was the third that made a name for the group, as a song that shouwed the true hybridity of the group and a spectacular video to match. It may be interesting to note that the Papercut video was made for Europe and I am told it was only shown once in the US.
Reanimation
-Opening
-Pts.Of.Athrty
-Enth E Nd
-[Chali]
-Frgt/10
-P5hng Me A*wy
-X-ecutioner style
-H! Vltag3
-[Riff Raff]
-With>You
-Ntr/Mission
-Ppr:Kut
-Rnw@y
-My_DSMBR
-[Stef]
-By_Myslf
-Kyur4 Th Ich
-1stp Klosr
-Krwlng
Reanimation was The Remix album. Released on the 30th July, 2002. Featuring the talents of Chali 2na, Black Thought and with help from DJ Cheapshot, the X-ecutioners (amongst others) I think it's pretty clear that this was Mike's creation. I also think that reanimation was the first step towards Fort Minor. I believe that Pts.Of.Athrty was the only single released from Reanimation, as Joe described the video, "... the main thing you're gonna grasp out of the video is that the robots are beting the s**t out of eachother, they're just like, getting pulverised."
Meteora
-Foreword
-Don't Stay
-Somewhere I Belong
-Lying From You
-Hit The Floor
-Easier To Run
-Faint
-Figure .09
-Breaking the Habit
-From The Inside
-Nobody's Listening
-Session
-Numb
Released on the 25th March, 2003, Meteora brought in a huge amount of fans for LP. Some will argue that it's like Hybrid Theory II, not as good as Hybrid Theory, mostly the same etc. The gem of this album to most is Breaking the Habit. BTH was originally going to be an instrumental of 10 minutes (I think Mike may have exaggerated that) and he had been working on it for years. I'm sure most know what the lyrics are actually about, but I won't say for the sake of those who don't.
The singles were Somewhere I Belong, Numb, Faint and Breaking the Habit. BTH was released on a DVD with a manga to exapand on the video.
Live In Texas
-Somewhere I Belong
-Lying From You
-Papercut
-Points Of Authority
-Runaway
-Faint
-From The Inside
-P5hng Me A*wy
-Numb
-Crawling
-In The End
-One Step Closer
Live in Texas, released November 18, 2003, is a live album of Linkin Park playing in Texas (was it in Dallas?) for the Meteora tour I believe, don't quote me on that ^^;; It also has a DVD of the performances too.
I'm actually not as well informed on LIT as their other albums
Collision Course
-Lying From You/Dirt Off Your Shoulder
-Big Pimpin'/Papercut
-Jigga What/Faint
-Numb/Encore
-Izzo/In The End
-Points Of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer
Collision Course was a small project that spiraled out of control. Initially Jay-Z was asked to pick someone he would like to do a Mash Up with by MTV, he picked Linkin Park which was probably best for Mike who resects Jay a whole lot. They were originally supposed to do two songs and perform them, Mike spent 2 months working on 2 songs and sent them to Jay who was really impressed. Eventually Jay came into the studio and Collision Course was born, Mike's workaholic nature probably took over, especially considering they finalied 2 songs and put together 4 more in 4 days. There was also a DVD released with footage from the Studio, footage from the concert at the Roxy theatre and MTV's ultimate Mash Ups.
The first video MTV released was Numb/Encore, the second was dependant on where you lived, in the UK the second video was Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer <3 I believe it was released late november 2004, I'm not sure of the exact date.

The version of "It's Going Down" that I have, it says "Featuring Mike Shinoda" and I have never found anything that said the whole of LP was involved. In any case, that one should not be on the list.

It's goin' down is on the list becuse Linkin Park as a whole weren't involved, it was Mike and Joe working with the X-ecutioners independantly. Simmi-chan -It's Goin' Down: A lot of people think that all of LP was involved in the recording of this song, but it's not true. The album version of this song was made entirely by the X-Ecutioners, Mike Shinoda, and Joe Hahn. Phoenix, Rob, and Wayne Static (Static-X) are seen playing in the video, but they are just cameos that weren't involved in the actual song.
