After the release of “Lost,” a discarded track from Meteora, Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson gave hope to the public
Linkin Park has unpublished material stored. The disclosure was made by Brad Delsonguitarist of the group, in an interview with NME. On April 7th, the band released a commemorative edition of the album’s 20th anniversary. meteora.
The unreleased track “lost,” with vocals by Chester Bennington, was one of the highlights of the project. “Our band just got weirder at writing as we got older. Sometimes we’d do 120 tracks for you to hear one,” delson stated. “There are a lot of things that never saw the light of day, plus those that fell away to make way for the things that audiences got to hear.”
The musician even explained the reason for “lost” was left off the original album, even though it sounds like a single: “We couldn’t find a place for it on the record. Telling a story with the album is very important, and we felt that ‘lost‘ had a very similar energy to ‘number.’ The plan was to release it a little later, as a bonus track.” Members of Linkin Park forgot about the song’s existence for nearly 20 years.
Brad added, however, that other unreleased material may not be as good as “lost“: “It’s very difficult for it to be as special as our best works. I don’t know if there’s anotherlost,’ but maybe there is. We definitely made a lot of music.”
