Linkin Park - Vertical Limit Lyrics

This version is called "Points Of Authority" which can be found on the early sample demo CD sent to Warner Bros in early 2000, as part of the band's monthly update in the studio.

Interesting

The BEST version! 👌

Better than the official

Or Rock Mix version of the song

I think i like this version more than original.

This one came first. :)

this is no demo. it's just an "unreleased" version of points of authority.

Its also the video version

Flachgewichst it's released in their album album Modern Rock 2

What do you think a 'demo' is? It's unreleased/unofficial- but *somebody* had to release it if we're hearing it right now. :-P

3:00 - The sound of my heartbeat

I'm glad there is so many Points of Authority versions because it has best intro ever

I agree. I'm not really sure why the demo is so different from the actual released tracks since they're actually not that bad.

+Cool Cobra 64 Time Warner that simple.

+Nesta CZ but for me... this one is the best version.

@FEA 93 agreed

It's my favorite off the album because of Mike's parts and the guitar intro. Also enjoy the multiple versions

this is the best version in my eyes

Fuck, this is awesome. Better than the HT version for sure.

This is on the Hybrid Theory 6-Track CD...

+João Lopes This version has different lyrics for the rap sections. This was a demo that got scrapped.

Better than the original! Especially the rap!

This one came first. :)

Idk about that

Finally found this! This is my personal favorite version of Points of Authority.

Yeah, Mike's rap in this version is top :)

@AirRon92 Too Bad This One Wasn't Used

EPICER THAN ORIGANAL ! ! !

+Wes Moniz Technically speaking, this IS the original.

+Wes Moniz i disagree

I agree, even though this one came first. :)

THIS ONE IS BETTER :D

LMAO me too

nope -_- Reanimation ver is called as Pts.Of.Athry

This song is points of authority of reanimation album.

No it isn't.... 😑

I like this version better

Don't say shit

They need to release all of their demos on an album

it is the demo vitch the second 1 they did jackass

it sounds pretty better....

Me 2 When I heard the HT version I was like WTF is this shit???

I like this version, but nothing beats "It's time to sink or swim" on demo 1

At least this version still has the chorus

They did 2 demo's on this I see... The SINK or SWIM part should have made the ALBUM! For real that was tight!

What is the original?

I know that feel.

Was kind of wondering why people were replying to my comment a year later.

I discovered it just now. And it was one of the first LP songs I got.

I discovered it in 2006, when i was 6....

Everyone chill out ... both are awesome!

forfeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame and push your name to shame come on rock your face you cant run the race the pace is too fast you just wont last

Those aren't even the right lyrics😂

THE GOOD OLD AND FUCKING BEAST LINKIN PARK MUSIC i miss it -.-"

i downloaded points of authority, and then realized it was this version....i was looking for the original. i was like "forfeit the game before someone....what the crap?!" but i like it :)

Agreed. I actually never knew this existed. I heard it, and was like "Where has this been all my life?!?!???"

me too

Me too! I "discovered" the official vesion 2 weeks ago. And I'm 19!!!!

You're 26 now right?
Still kick as hard today?

Poor DraciaNightcat

*old comment*

who is that?

I love this version

@DraciaNightcat ME TOO!!!

A small,but really epic beginning part from Mike...wonderful <3

@DraciaNightcat HOLY SHIT SO DID I!

Was this the official version on their Hybrid THeory album?

@the2007king Sorry, did I offend you to the point of suicide or something?

This version of the song is fantastic

@exileincalcutta No Doubt lol

@DraciaNightcat Same xD Then when I got Live In Texas, i was trying to rap along with Mike, then I was like "umm..." xD

Vertical limit?

i think so? hmmmm

i like this intro way more than the original

to be fair atleast the quality is awesome cos some demos the quality is bad but this is cool

Mikes raps are stripped down by the record company that they are on THIS IS WHY THEY SHOULD SUPPORT THEMSELVES

@mestrezombie

They do, they release new 'Albums' more or less every year on their Underground site. In the UK it's something like £25 a year and you get the CD a Sticker, Guitar Pic and a T Shirt. It's proper good. You see songs that no one else sees and you see how far they've come as a band.

This will be a good song for Naruto vs Pain!!!

Vertical Limit is not a demo, it is a Points of Authority version for a film Little Nicky

I love the current version much better but this one sounds pretty awesome in its self

@theoryoflinkin There were two demos. One of them had the same lyrics as the album version and the second one (this one) changed some of the lyrics. The band decided they liked the first mix better so they re-recorded it and released it.

@theoryoflinkin they're not... this is the Hybrid Theory version ;)

@theoryoflinkin this version was made for film "Little Nicky"

@PhantomAlxa99

agreed, much better than the original

@BrothersGroove
it could be the underground exclusive Hybrid Theory CD they released back in 01. only a few were every sold. The original album has a baby as an art work booklet. Really rare.

that is the points authority except the bridge they just change it from the first demo is really awsome

This is a pre-final mix. And it's not called Vertical Limit, that was a made up name.

i rly like the bridge

@PhantomAlxa99
i love this song , when every one turn the back on u!!!!! just reemember

you have to think you're never wrong

@mestrezombie e-bay buddy

I grew up thinking this was the original version :/

@xXGroviabyXx that's a demo i have the CD

badass song!!! :D

hmm i have this one and i thought this was the real one...i was surely wrong

This is really vertical limit
Mine was changed.
Points was written like vertical limit
and the opossit hahahha

ok, well then i heard this version on the radio.

i think this is the radio version, album version is different. ive heard this one( this beginning )on the radio...

joovn1 its called tempo

the lyrics

in what is it diferent of the final version ?

euh... could we get a download link??? cuz this is sick!!!

just look at the shit you've written u absolute moron. im sat here with a big smile on my face at your attempts to fit in and look cool.

he is an actual rapper....

I liked the 1st demo...yet you can't argue on taste can you? anyway this 1 is good on the chorus yet i didn't like the bridge, still the demo is cool...I hope people won't be so aggresive and i hope i won't get -20 just because i said the 1st demo seemed better TO ME..........

hmmm...final version rocks.

:]

no i don't like both demo's o.O
i only like the normal and the chrystal method remix...

after hearing demo 1, i was REALLY scared of how this song would be! but i'm glad that it's not such crap as demo 1, still the original is the best

where can i get this song?

Mike's part in the album version was sicker then this crap. I mean it flows as if he were an actual rapper. I mean "Forfeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the fram put ya name to shame, cover up ya face, you can't run the race, the pace is too fast u just won't last". Classic shit!

this is a Demo dude...it was done before Hybrid when they working and re-working lyrics...

i looove the beginning!

ur bouth right it an Demo but not the first demo of points of autority ^^

Thats not the demo ;-)Thats the second mix

what? no it isnt

I like the Hybrid Theory version better.

You mean as underground cds or EPs?
Is there a difference?

can u send this too me?

I believe 6 around there. 2 by Jay Gordon, 2 demos, the one on Hybrid theory, and that Crystal Method remix.

whats the other one you have i wanna hear

The bridge by Mike is different, if you don't listen carefully. It's obvious.

umm this is just points of autority its not a demo just listen to the original POA
