It's such a blessing to have all the demos finally released officially by the band in HQ. Chester, you will never die as long as we keep you alive in your music.
There are quite a few demos that I would have never listened to if they hadn't released them. I've tried to listen to a few in the past but they were uploaded in the audio equivalent of 240p lol.
Just FYI for all the people in the comments, the "Ahhhhhh! I hate you so much right now!" Is not just a random scream, it's a reference to a song by Kelis (yes, the one who sings Milkshake). The chorus to her song Caught Out There is "Ahhhh! I hate you so much right now!" It's notable for being the first time a female rapper screamed on a track, and it's pretty cool that of all people, Kelis would get a shout out / reference in a Linkin Park song
This version seems so much more...sinister, and connected to his depression and how he was abused. The quieter vocals just make it feel like his demons are waiting in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity when he's vulnerable, unlike the final version where it seems like he's confronting those demons head on. Damn...Crawling, lyrically, is LP's best song ever recorded IMO
But so generic during its time, Korn was doing this style and it sounds like Korn. I'm they diviate from this and release the album version. This one is a banger too.
@@livay8401 Same can be said to OP .... This is legit just a slap together demo, nothing more nothing else ... People should stop projecting crap. This track is missing so many things as instruments, FX. Basically everything and legit sounds like white noise for most part. The whispering is present in the final mix but with FX. I wont bother to waste time explaining everything but it's just a DEMO, it's an idea not an final mix ... also the whole band contributed to this, not just Chester and his ''mental state''. The only ones who suffer from ''demons'' are people who listen to things like Korn, LP and depressing nonsense like these bands, so as too busy projecting their delusions onto others, things that don't exist... Taste reality for a change and stfu, especially things you cant grasp. Even Chester didn't know wtf was going through his head and this have nothing to do with being abused, his brain was simply messed up and the music industry didn't help one bit anyway. The portion of this cursed fanbase also didn't made much of a difference for the better ...
I thought this was going to be Crawling with a couple lyrics before they were changed but the "Rain Drops put the rhythm on the pavement" hit me like a truck
He probably never thought how many people miss him when he's gone. He truely was an angel. Living in this world was too hard for him. I hope he finally found his heaven.
"Against my will I stand beside my own reflection" Chester, I know you won't ever read this. But I love you, and the band. So incredibly much. I grew up with this band in middle school, and am now entering my first year of college. and you helped me then, and your music and your words of rage and healing will help me in the future. Thank you Chester Thank You Linkin Park.
i can’t explain and can’t really understand for myself but Chester feels like someone who you so close with… and when you remembering that he’s gone… it’s breaking my heart so bad
@@frnndgrm6268 "fall" can also mean the end of something or the failure of something, for example "the fall of Rome" or "the Goths have sacked Rome, therefor Rome has fallen". So "fear is how I fall" simply means that fear is the reason for his end and/or his failure.

It's so difficult to deal with everyone else's expectations while also dealing with our own for ourselves, coupled with past issues and trauma and what we're supposed to do next can literally make someone crawl inside their own skin with anxiety and depression as I know all too well. I appreciate that the hard version used to be one of my favorite pieces of music but after hearing the slow version with One More Light, the slow version of this hits me so much harder because when you slow it down and really listen to the lyrics it really hits home with what the lyrics really meant to Chester and all of us in our own way. But getting to hear this raw version is such a blessing and any insight into the creative prosses of my favorite band becoming who they are today makes me so happy. keep doing what you're doing guys.
miss you chester, miss this music..linkin park has had more impact on me than anything else. i felt more closer to these songs than anything else, like chester understood whats going in my head, the anxiety, the pain is always there, but its the fighting that keeps me going no matter what, losing him to depression was like losing my brother, i lost a part of my life and i feel that commiting suicide is never the answer no matter what , we have to keep fighting keep struggling and thats life, thats life.
Waaaaait duuuude... Mike’s rap before the second chorus is a sick way to break it up. I get why they didn’t keep it but I totally wish they did it on the live in Texas Cs/dvd. I just feel like it would have been a cool surprise
yeah that part was great and gave such a different vibe to build up for the chorus but i guess it made sense cause they wanted crawling to be a huge hit so a simple song structure "chorus verse chorus verse chorus" did get the job done and was more radio friendly i think. but as a live version it would've been a great move
I want to think all these demos as alternate reality version of LP's most iconic songs. And in that parallel world, Chester had a beautiful childhood and still lives happily with his friends, family and fans.
@@BG12sofia Probably he wouldn't have written almost half the most iconic LP songs. Perhaps LP would have been popular for whole other new reasons. It's a parallel world.

You probably don't know what demo version is. It's a version made first to get the ideas all together and then they went to record it in studio with producers and recorded it in high quality production.

I've been listening to this song for over 20 years and I never imagined there would be a way for it to feel new again. This demo brought back that feeling so intensely, as if I'm hearing it for the first time!
I feel like my perception of Crawling underwent a full arc from meme status to sincere enjoyment as I listened to more different versions of it over the years.
raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement, drip from the black top and into the basement. traces of the rain pervade this to erase your hate and take this from the fakeness.
I remember hearing most of these demos back in 2003 when eBay was not even a decade old, I begged my parents to buy these two (obviously pirated) CDs containing most of these demos released in the 20th anniversary Hybrid Theory re release along with some live tracks (that are on here as well lol). In The End and Crawling demos to this day are still some of my favorite LP songs, along with Dedicated , Carousel, And One. For some reason I was expecting QWERTY to be on here, can’t find that on the mainstream music services. I’m just glad I can add these demos to my playlist now. Also there are a few more Hybrid Theory/Xero demos floating around that I wish were included, but I can see why they were left off. I really hope they release the Meteora demos some day. RIP Chester.
It feels weird, after the dreadful day of July 20th 2017 I never thought I would hear a new Linkin Park song. It may not be new but it still gives that feeling off with the different lyrics but the same voices
Absolutely Chester fear is powerful and fear is sometimes how we fall may you live through your music Chester miss and love you everyday can't believe it's been over 7 years now since we lost you a true vocal beast a true musical icon you left your mark and no matter what it ain't going nowhere 💯 ❤🤘👑🎙️🎤♓❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥♾️🕊️🥹💔
I love listening to old demos, and the ones I've heard from Linkin Park have been amazing - in a different kind of way from the "real" release versions. The thing that becomes very obvious is the songwriting qualities, and the search for That Sound. Wonderful to hear!
This brought me back to the times when I used to be a confused teenager under the immense pressure of out performing others academically who always found comfort in linkin park's song.
I like the version of crawling without a rap verse but the rapping here does sound so cool I wish they would have took Mike's flow on that and made a separate song instead of trashing it. I think it's one of his best flows even to this day

4 VERSIONS OF CRAWLING-
-DEMO
-ORIGINAL
-ACOUSTIC OR OML (ONE MORE LOGHT) VERSION
-REANIMATION
All are great in their own way! For me, Reanimation > Acoustic > Original > Demo
Reanimation is too good. Aaron Lewis(Staind) was in it right.
There is also the live version with Chris Cornell
For me ,the reanimation version is so noble. When i listen it,i feel calm
Don’t forget the Celine Dion mashup LoL
seems like chester never left us, he just turned into music 🎶

That’s a dark concept to think about... like his soul became the lyrics he wrote years ago. That’s kinda scary. R.I.P. Chester
Damn, u know the final song is a masterpiece when the demo is already a wonderful piece of art
I feel like my perception of Crawling underwent a full arc from meme status to sincere enjoyment as I listened to more different versions of it over the years.
So is no one gonna talk about how dope Mike's little verse is? Sounds so good
Or he voice in the chorus, but Chester fanboys arruined every Linkin Park video.
Mike❣️... He is really really genius

traces of the rain pervade this to erase your hate and take this from the fakeness.
@@marciodias1505Wtf are you on about? Mike doesn't sing on the chorus. It's Chester's voice layered
Wow wow it's like 2015. LP posting a song and I hear Chester singing 🥺😍 you haven't gone . My Soul Saviour 🙌😍
I remember hearing most of these demos back in 2003 when eBay was not even a decade old, I begged my parents to buy these two (obviously pirated) CDs containing most of these demos released in the 20th anniversary Hybrid Theory re release along with some live tracks (that are on here as well lol). In The End and Crawling demos to this day are still some of my favorite LP songs, along with Dedicated , Carousel, And One. For some reason I was expecting QWERTY to be on here, can’t find that on the mainstream music services. I’m just glad I can add these demos to my playlist now. Also there are a few more Hybrid Theory/Xero demos floating around that I wish were included, but I can see why they were left off. I really hope they release the Meteora demos some day. RIP Chester.
QWERTY was written between Meteora and Minutes to Midnight I think. I love that song though, would love an official release of it someday
Somehow this happens to me too, i got all their (pirated) demos back then
I'M SORRY BUT THE BABIE'S FACE APPEARS ON SCREEN JUST AS CHESTER GOES "AHHH" I'M LAUGHING SO HARD 🤣
Chester would definitely laugh at that if you told him lol
That intro is so funny! 🤣
That makes me remember some meme of a man screaming.
That's actually not funny it's creepy dude
this actually scared me lol
I like this more. The song really needed a bridge and this delivered. A combination of the two would be wonderful.
Rest in peace Chester. We love you!
AHHHHHHHHHHH, I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
-Chester whenever the heck this demo was made
Чес, помним тебя. Покойся с миром.
I love the feat is powerful part
I haven’t listened to this song in a bit. And the “I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW” still gets me in tears
Linkin park , это рай для моих ушей! From Russia this love!
this song is in my head !!!!
in your head only anime
screamed like a monster
sang like an angel
we miss you Chester❤️
Cringe overused comment
@@Biittijou still worth a gem❤️sorry if I offended you though😊
@@AmitGhosh-1995 Yea my feels are hurt
We miss him and love you guys❤
@BasketCase 420 Everything alright there buddy?
i like how the chorus builds up and then all the instrumentals are stripped besides the beat and mike has a verse on this
мурашки по коже от их музыки))))))))
i love you Linkin Park
It feels weird, after the dreadful day of July 20th 2017 I never thought I would hear a new Linkin Park song. It may not be new but it still gives that feeling off with the different lyrics but the same voices
why do we love the raw expression of these dark thoughts so much? 🖤
Так непривычно слышать это в 2020, ощущение дежавю. Вспоминаю, как когда-то давно услышал релиз современного crawling. Даже появились нотки ностальгии

Линкин парк топ в сердце на всегда
Плакал?
That rap part before the second chorus, omg ❤
Goosebumps and headlights? Linkin Park hasn't done that to me in a while. Yes. I love it.
Absolutely Chester fear is powerful and fear is sometimes how we fall may you live through your music Chester miss and love you everyday can't believe it's been over 7 years now since we lost you a true vocal beast a true musical icon you left your mark and no matter what it ain't going nowhere 💯 ❤🤘👑🎙️🎤♓❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥♾️🕊️🥹💔
02:28 Wow! Why the producer removed this part? Too strong and awesome!
:O
It slows down the song
I love listening to old demos, and the ones I've heard from Linkin Park have been amazing - in a different kind of way from the "real" release versions. The thing that becomes very obvious is the songwriting qualities, and the search for That Sound. Wonderful to hear!
OMG!! I LOVE THIS SONG!👌✨ LP FOREVER!
This brought me back to the times when I used to be a confused teenager under the immense pressure of out performing others academically who always found comfort in linkin park's song.
I don’t understand how 3 people dislike this?!? Seriously? Love the whispering Mike behind Chester.❤️🔥❤️
just stupid people
nah its just Australians clicking like

Chester fanboys that dont apreciate Mike.
_LINKIN PARK FOREVER_ 🇧🇷🔥
why does the beginning sound so creepy, almost reversed..😭😭
That raindrop rap really caught me off guard but in the best way possible. It was amazing 🤯
Underground is where it's at
I had 0 idea there was a whole section cut from the song. Love the final release to hell but DAMN that took my by surprise
That "AHHHH I hate you so much right now!!" makes this version extra angsty LOL... memories though
Procurei essa demo por anos , obrigado por postar .
I love how mike shinoda made all by himself and sound so close to the final product
Tem como não se emocionar com isso? Slk, LP será lembrado pra sempre.
Vdd
Shinoda killin it with the rap!
this is so different and amazing, i love it. RIP Chester Bennington you are loved and missed dearly. sincerely your fans
I like the version of crawling without a rap verse but the rapping here does sound so cool I wish they would have took Mike's flow on that and made a separate song instead of trashing it. I think it's one of his best flows even to this day
Listen to step up, high voltage, or any of the fort minor projects and you’ll definitely change your mind regarding his flow...
Mike is definitely better than many rappers we see today stop questioning his talent
Agreed this hits super different but I imagine so many people loving it if they heard it
I liked the rap from And One too and they let that go to waste.
@@gingaming_gg I like all of those bruh
No one can reach the spot in my heart where Linkin park has reached
Это офигенно. Спасибо из России!
I like the line "to find the strength within" more actually!!!
CHESTER I LOVE
Love the demos, so creative and real.
Linkin Park nas nossas almas , nos nossos corações , nas nossas mentes , nas nossas veias ... Linkin Park NUNCA morrerá !! 🖤🤘🏻
2:28 should have stayed. Mikes part here is 🔥
Ahh!
I hate you so much right now
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal

Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
(Beneath the surface)
Consuming (Consuming)
Confusing (Confusing)
This lack of self control, I find so overwhelming
(So overwhelming)
Controlling (Controlling)
I can't seem
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
To find the strength within, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
This comfort endlessly has made itself upon me

Distracting (Distracting)
Reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
(My own reflection)
It's haunting (It's haunting)
How I can't seem
