Mr. Hahn Fucks Up Meteora Style

The vinyl known as Mr. Hahn Fucks Up Meteora Style is a vinyl that Joe Hahn used on stage for years featuring live samples of Linkin Park material exclusively used on Meteora songs. It's unknown if this is the real title or just a street name for this record. This record probably wasn't used after Japan in 2006 as Joe started using Scratch Live software in 2007, which had both new and old material at the same time.

The vinyl samples are largely used for scratching. Because it's hard for a DJ to see specifically where on the vinyl a sample is located, the majority of the samples are looped for a long time to give Joe a better chance of finding the right sample he's looking for the first time he drops the needle. The vinyl is sequenced in the same order as the Meteora tracklisting. Side A is "Don't Stay" through "Easier To Run" and Side B is "Faint" through "Numb".

It was first used on stage on February 23, 2003 and then through the Meteora World Tour, including the two Texas shows in Houston and Irving, which ended up on the Live In Texas live CD/DVD release.

Track Listing

Side A

1. 0:00 - 1:17 - Don't Stay scratch (Joe's scratch sample in this song is primarily a clip of Chester's vocal at the end of the chorus)
2. 1:18 - 2:31 - Somewhere I Belong main scratch
3. 2:32 - 4:40 - Somewhere I Belong ending synth/scratch
4. 4:45 - 4:52 - Lying From You intro (individual samples without the scratching/panning effects)
5. 4:52 - 6:06 - Lying From You "tire screeching" sound effect
6. 6:07 - 6:09 - Hit the Floor beeping sound effects
7. 6:10 - 7:24 - Hit the Floor scratch
8. 7:24 - 8:38 - By Myself scratch (based on the placement on the vinyl, this must appear somewhere in Hit the Floor, I just haven't figured out where)
9. 8:38 - 9:23 - Hit the Floor droning effect
10. 9:23 - 10:31 - Hit the Floor droning effect #2 (slight variation on previous sample)
11. 10:35 - 10:37 - Easier to Run guitar/flanger sample (this is played at the very end of the bridge of Easier to Run, there's oddly also a small snippet of the previous Hit the Floor droning effect at the very end of the sample, I think this may have been a pressing error on the vinyl)
12. 10:37 - 11:47 - Easier to Run "ticking" samples
13. 11:47 - 12:01 - Easier to Run droning synth
14. 12:01 - 14:35 - Easier to Run scratch

Side B

1. 0:00 - 0:08 - Faint intro strings
2. 0:10 - 1:24 - Faint staccato samples (Joe plays these during the Faint chorus)
3. 1:24 - 2:39 - Faint verse guitar samples (Joe doubles Brad during the verses using these)
4. 2:39 - 2:54 - Figure.09 intro synth
5. 2:55 - 3:02 - Figure.09 breakdown synth (section between second chorus and bridge)
6. 3:02 - 4:18 - Figure.09 bridge scratch
7. 4:18 - 4:34 - Breaking the Habit "glitchy beats" + explosion sample
8. 4:34 - 5:49 - Breaking the Habit scratch (the same sample is also used as the basis of the scratching in Points of Authority)
9. 5:49 - 7:03 - From the Inside scratch (this is definitely a combination of the "break" vocal from the end of One Step Closer, and what sounds like the "you" scream from the FTI bridge)
10. 7:03 - 8:17 - From the Inside synth/white noise samples (these show up in the verses and the last chorus)
11. 8:17 - 9:32 - Nobody's Listening scratch (vocal clip from High Voltage remix)
12. 9:32 - 10:46 - Session misc. samples (likely used for scratching)
13. 10:46 - 11:41 - Session outro/Numb scratch (the scratch in Numb is actually a continuation of the droning sound from the end of Session!)
14. 11:41 - 13:45 - Numb scratch continued + slowed-down beat samples added (I think this comes in during the last chorus)
