This track is not only genre defining but instrumentally so dense that finding these little fills and riffs here and there feel like finding a treasure chest in the middle of some magical forest. You can feel the passion they oozed while playing their instruments during recording sessions. All in all this is a 10/10 song in the history of all music.
2:05 I love this chord progression so much, it's so simple and beautiful. It's rising up and resolute, feels uplift, unstoppable and determined. Not very compatible with the lyrics tbh, I could see something like this when a anime protagonist unleashes his occult power or something, which kinda explains how Linkin Park became such a stapple in AMV
It's amazing how many extra layers of sounds you can hear when the vocals are not there. After that little bass riff at 2:28 the violin stabs come into play and go along with the drums.
Sione Teumohenga that's incredible haha. here's one for you. if you listen real close either in some headphones or through a system with good bass, if you listen to when the 2nd chorus begins to repeat one more time, right after Rob' s fill, (about at 1:39) he actually does a quick double bass fill before the snare...i never heard that before the instrumental version either.... and you're gonna need headphones or something, cause I tried to tell it through just my cell phone speaker, but I think the frequencies are too low and soft to be represented in the cell phone speaker
Hell yeah I was rocking out to this song , watching the phantom menace and spiking up my hair ready to put my pants on (backwards of course ) criss cross to make it Uhhhh HUH!!! great times 😎
low-key this instrumental is one of the strongest tracks of all TIME. And I didn't know about these instrumentals until like a month ago... and Linkin park is the band that inspired me to both pick up a guitar AND become a vocalist approximately 15 years ago ... and I'm just NOW being able to hear the beautiful and complete mastery of these tracks sans Chester 's vox. This shit just sounds so good riding down the road in a good car stereo... the chorus is some of the most pleasurable music I've ever had the privilege of sinking myself into... and the song finishes perfectly. in a way, this is almost the height of music in culture... after 2000, I think we started to begin a slow trend of watering down music and an influx of crap music began being produced since it became so cheap to make music, everybody can do it, lyrics don't even have to be quality content, just need to rhyme and catch someone's attention...
you, kind sir, bring justice to it and just said it like it is. Kudos brother, new horizons are opening up, we've been there, we've felt this but didn't quite get it then. We do now.
You sound just like me man. I also, picked up a guitar about 15 years ago and learned how to make beats because of this band/album. I use to search Napster for hours to find rare lp songs and instrumentals. Those were the days.
And now in 2020, metallo-rock music and just about anything that has distorted guitars has become a shadowed genre in favor of electropop and mumble rap with heavy bass and nonsensical lyrics. And they make even more money than music that requires collective effort of a few people with their own skills in instruments to produce.
Listening to the instrumental is literally like listening to LP for the first time again. You notice the little things you'd never hear listening to it with vocals, and makes it feel so fresh and new even though the track is over 20 years old.

When this came out in 2000, I was smoking pot at my friend's off-campus house and was blown away. It was dark, it was hugely aggressive, it was catchy AF, and unlike so much lame rock-rap at the time, the emceeing was actually on point, creating a glorious contrast with the hook by Chester. To my stoned ears, it was a revelation. To this day, Papercut remains my favorite Linkin Park song, by far.
This is hands down my favorite LP song. But this song is just so amazing. Everything after 2:00 sounds crazy, everything coming together. Guitars, bass fills, drums, synths (love the synths), turn tables. Beautiful fucking song
The instrumentals of Linkin Park have so many nuances in them, you have to hear them in their entirety. They're like a separate song you can listen to without vocals.

Exactly, I've been listening to this song since I was like 8-9 years old, I've gotten bored of the amazing chorus riff or the song. Out of all the genres and songs I listen to, Linkin Park songs are the only ones that I haven't gotten bored of. That riff is something else...
This is still give me goosebumps from 2000 when I hear to Mr. Hahn and the amazing work he did with LP. Specially in HT and Meteora era. Very underrated DJ for real...
This is literally one of the most underrated Linkin Park songs of all fucking time. Honestly I'd rate this over In The End (which I love very much) and Crawling (also a song I love) any day. Papercut is the best song on Hybrid Theory hands down.
I'm not a music junkie so I don't know what any of that means lol. Also that's what I don't understand. And even the band members say In The End is poppy. How? Please someone explain to me how In The End is a pop song, because I honestly don't see it
Nick Tasy I have to agree with you.... it is probably their strongest track of all time imo... it's just so perfect and jammin' without any flaws, fucking IMPECCABLE flow, this instrumental just sounds so God damn good in the car through a good system.... it really is the perfect song to show what Linkin park is about (I meant USED to be about lol)
One of the best instrumentals of all time, from one of the best songs of all time, from one of the best albums of all time, from one of the best bands of all time. Linkin Park forever!
2:31 Just last week, I was watching live videos and noticed that there's a flute like sample in the background that Mr. Hahn plays live. I've been listening to this song since 2003 and didnt notice it til just last week. SO AWESOME.
Love that very minor change in the bass drum kicks in 1:41 right by where the chorus repeats. No one else really follows this in their instrumental covers
This may be my overall favorite Linkin Park song just because of this instrumental. That guitar breakdown after verse 2 at 2:05 is so epic. Has serious Ancient Asian vibes in it.
I got these demons in my head And I don’t know why they there I just know they want me dead They talk to me when no ones near They tell me I’m really sick have me questioning why I live Isolate myself from my friends I want to be left alone cause they wouldn’t understand Music is the only reason I’m still here to tell you this Never give in or give up when ya want to quit instead keep on fighting even if you never hit the end

after 23 years, this is The first time I heard this part 2:05 and 2:12 , so many unique layers are heard after removing the vocals, but I can admit, even when the vocal was removed, We still can hear Chester's scream inside our head

Lyric: Why does it feel like night today?
Somethin' in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too
And your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watchin' you too
Right inside your skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

The first 20 seconds is all i needed to love this song and band.
Exactly, I've been listening to this song since I was like 8-9 years old, I've gotten bored of the amazing chorus riff or the song. Out of all the genres and songs I listen to, Linkin Park songs are the only ones that I haven't gotten bored of. That riff is something else...
Best Linkin Park - Papercut (Instrumental) song ever
This is still give me goosebumps from 2000 when I hear to Mr. Hahn and the amazing work he did with LP. Specially in HT and Meteora era. Very underrated DJ for real...
2:50 - 3:00 part has different fan base.
This is literally one of the most underrated Linkin Park songs of all fucking time. Honestly I'd rate this over In The End (which I love very much) and Crawling (also a song I love) any day. Papercut is the best song on Hybrid Theory hands down.
Due to the fact that this song was released after In The End it failed to attract people over In The End
In the End has the trendy "pop" to it that everyone can get into. Stuff like Papercut are for those that have good ears for it.
I'm not a music junkie so I don't know what any of that means lol. Also that's what I don't understand. And even the band members say In The End is poppy. How? Please someone explain to me how In The End is a pop song, because I honestly don't see it
a place for my head>all
Nick Tasy I have to agree with you.... it is probably their strongest track of all time imo... it's just so perfect and jammin' without any flaws, fucking IMPECCABLE flow, this instrumental just sounds so God damn good in the car through a good system.... it really is the perfect song to show what Linkin park is about (I meant USED to be about lol)
One of the best instrumentals of all time, from one of the best songs of all time, from one of the best albums of all time, from one of the best bands of all time. Linkin Park forever!
crispy sounds!!!!!
Syke Throne they taste good too
Just their instrumentals are enough. I can un ironically play this on loop, that's how good LP is.
RIP Chester ;(
Of course I love the original song. But here you can hear stuff that you can't hear clearly in the original. I love this instrumental. It's perfect!
the awesome song Linkin Park Papercut instrumental
that bass at 2:29
It's been 1 year... RIP Chester
This track man! Gives me goosebumps and brings me back EXACTLY at the first time I bought the album and press play. What a BOMB
2:02 THE SUUUUUUUN 🔥🤘
GOOOES DOOWN

I FEEL THE LIGHT BEETREAAAAYY MEEEEII
2:31 Just last week, I was watching live videos and noticed that there's a flute like sample in the background that Mr. Hahn plays live. I've been listening to this song since 2003 and didnt notice it til just last week. SO AWESOME.
I did thinking the same thing. But actually it's a Violin sample in the last chorus.
It’s a digital string actually.
Am I the only one who rewinds it to 2:05
Nope.
just you! 😂😂
It felt so weird when he didn't say WHY AM I SO UPTIGHT TODAY, SOMETHING IN THE AIR'S NOT RIGHT TODAY
I can hear Chester say "I feel" at 2:27
It's so clean, you can't even hear background voices, good job👍👍👍
I wanna be a wrestler one day and you know I gotta use this as my theme
Who else's hearing Chester's vocals at the final bridge and chorus?
Me
2:27 There? I hear a voice too
me! I heard these backing vocals of Chester!
THE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN GOES DOOOOWN
I FEEL THE LIGHT BETRAY ME
Love that very minor change in the bass drum kicks in 1:41 right by where the chorus repeats. No one else really follows this in their instrumental covers
my favorite bass drum kicks when I play this.
This may be my overall favorite Linkin Park song just because of this instrumental. That guitar breakdown after verse 2 at 2:05 is so epic. Has serious Ancient Asian vibes in it.
The feeling you get inside when "The sun goes down" begins ❤️ The bass is amazing!!
First time listened to this song kept me listening to LP till today. Losing chester is real pain.
the little lead going up and down is insane!
Love the splash hits before the 2nd chorus.
The Sun Goes Down
I feel the light betray me!
I love those deep strums, making it sound a little bit Ike metal in away like KoRn or Slipknot
So sad I am going to cry every time l this song RIP CHESTER
This is beautiful :')
it sounds great!! not only the vocals.. bc the INSTRUMENTAL IS AMAZING1 man this sounds so good
The sun goes down.....
Awesome
Listening to this like crazy to get down the drum part and nail it!
0:09 - 0:12 that moment Chester was broke his right wrist when his foot stuck in the stairs.
The best song ever! Is perfect!
Safe to say my all time favorite riff.
I got these demons in my head
And I don’t know why they there
I just know they want me dead
They talk to me when no ones near
They tell me I’m really sick
have me questioning why I live
Isolate myself from my friends
I want to be left alone cause they wouldn’t understand
Music is the only reason I’m still here to tell you this
Never give in or give up when ya want to quit
instead keep on fighting even if you never hit the end
Thats deep bro
WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE NIGHT TODAY
something in here's not right today.
@@ShilohPark Paranoia's all I got left.
@@Rusli1659LPSoldier i dont know what stressed me first, or how the pressure was fed
@@ShilohPark But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head!
Like a face that I hold *inside!*
A face that awakes when I close my *eyes!*
A face that watches every time I *lie!*
A face that laughs every time I fall.
@@ЕгорЦыба So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in me

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside, too
And your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter
Is I can't add up to what you can
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you, too

after 23 years, this is The first time I heard this part 2:05 and 2:12 , so many unique layers are heard after removing the vocals, but I can admit, even when the vocal was removed, We still can hear Chester's scream inside our head
Gracias por subirlo! 😍😊👍🏽❤💥🎸✨💣
I can both hear the voices and see the music video
That double time outro got me in the feelz
Beautiful song so in love with it
Perfect for a walk up song 😀

Still miss 2000 when this opening shot of Hybrid Theory rocked our schooldays
The best
awesommeee
ikr, one of my favorites!
Back then when this was that cuttin' edge new shit.
I would watch to the making of of this song. The sampling is awesome!
🐐 song 🐐 album
The bass dude the fckn bass
This is that one instrumental they play in those movies with the really intense car chase escapes.
Fun Fact: Wrestler Angelina Love uses this as her theme in the Indy Circuit
Rip Chester my man.
This Song should be a good OST for a bad Villain Like Pain😎💪
this song is just so epicc
2:28 I never heard the bass lol
Ikr it sounds just beautiful
The octaves was really hard to play this song.
but Dave Farrell played this.
2:03 this is when the song opens up. Its essence comes out after the early darker developments.
have this on repeat 😢❤
Thabks for the organized and very neat playlist.
Young producers need to listen to this and take notes

This is an incredible fucking instrumental. Wow.
Mike is an great songwriter
The sun goes down...I feel the light betray me
My first LP was back in 2004. One step Closer wich made me to addicted to this Epic Band. Ive bought all CDs of Linkin Park, listen every Song knowing the lyrics without Vocal. Tell me wich Band is like Linkin Park?? None. All other Bands are Maroon 5ish.
