Linkin Park is now streaming a live music video for their B-side "QWERTY". The video was recorded at the Chiba Marine Stadium in Tokyo, Japan on August 13, 2006 at the Summer Sonic Festival, while the B-side itself is available on Linkin Park's new Papercuts – Singles Collection (2000-2023) compilation.
"QWERTY" was originally written and recorded during the Minutes To Midnight sessions, and was originally released on the Linkin Park Underground v6.0 EP. Which if you weren't a part of the band's fan club, you've never heard it before.

As for the future of Linkin Park, the band has been quiet on a recent rumor going around. In an interview with Wired In The Empire, Orgy frontman Jay Gordon made a comment about Linkin Park having a new vocalist.
"Very, very cool guys and obviously a great band. They've been around a long time and they're still going for it," said Gordon as captured by Loudwire. "It’s going to be tough without Chester [Bennington], but we'll see. I hear they got a girl singer now. That's what I heard.”
Gordon then walked back his comment, saying: "Don't quote me on that. I'm not sure who the singer is going to be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting."
Which is definitely a weird comment to make if there weren't rumblings of a Linkin Park return. Especially when Gordon was pressed by host RadioActive Mike Z. about his "I hear they got a girl singer now" – dude didn't just retract the whole thing and move on. So I guess keep an eye out for a possible Linkin Park return in 2024?
