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.

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
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
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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'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 like this version. Just as good as the official one. I will forever miss Chester. His memory lives on through every song you hear. Thank you LINKIN PARK for releasing this
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.
I’m glad the version we have on Hybrid Theory doesn’t have the distorted, canny-sounding verses. I actually think having the quiet “so insecure” would’ve made the chorus we know much more powerful if it was introduced right before the last chorus. I think it was good choice to do away with the pre chorus layering of Chester’s voice. I’m indifferent on the bridge. I like how the vocals were brought forward in the final studio version, all in all.
My god, there is so much more meaning when the original sentence "fear is powerful" is connected with "confusing what is real". Well, crawling is a gem, this song is amazing in any way, specially the One More Light version. Thanks Linkin Park guys for sharing the demo version as well.
During the chorus, the vocals get lost in the mix. Its good that the final mix had the vocals brought out a lot more. I like the adlibs during the verses though, which I think adds a lot. I like the vocals during "so insecure" (the layering).
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

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.
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!
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
Back in elementary school I recommended Crawling to my friend. Later he said he listened to it but didn't seem like a real LP song. He said it sounded like 'a girl talking through a phone' and it was 4 minutes long. It is now that I realize he listened to this version. I didn't even know it existed until now.
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’m currently reading Jeff Blue’s book “One Step Closer: From Xero to #1”. I’m at the part of the book where the band brought this demo in among others. I can’t imagine that day for Jeff. That must have been a magical moment! And I totally agree with Jeff’s problem with the song (Mike apparently had a thing for rain metaphors a little too often for Jeff). I also think this was the first demo where Chester really shined........
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 💯 ❤🤘👑🎙️🎤♓❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥♾️🕊️🥹💔

It's sounds more rhythmic and music, but I agree that all idea of phrase was absolutely change

@peter griffin haha you cheeky bastard
@M.D. I get it as "the way I fall, it's how I'd describe -fear-" like you're not able to do anything while you're falling, you have no control
He got too close to the truth
@@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.
Fear of something can make depressions. Depressions makes you fall one day! Thats the Meaning i think

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.
But then, if Chester had had a beautiful childhood, would he have written Crawling?
@@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.
That’s a nice thought. I just hope he’s happy now wherever he is.
Yeah that’d be nice but… Would he have ever wrote songs like crawling, one more light, numb, almost every lp song?
@@BG12sofia Mike wrote the majority of the songs so I guees we would be alright.
I’m glad the version we have on Hybrid Theory doesn’t have the distorted, canny-sounding verses. I actually think having the quiet “so insecure” would’ve made the chorus we know much more powerful if it was introduced right before the last chorus. I think it was good choice to do away with the pre chorus layering of Chester’s voice. I’m indifferent on the bridge. I like how the vocals were brought forward in the final studio version, all in all.
I thought so, too!
My god, there is so much more meaning when the original sentence "fear is powerful" is connected with "confusing what is real". Well, crawling is a gem, this song is amazing in any way, specially the One More Light version. Thanks Linkin Park guys for sharing the demo version as well.
me: crAAAwLiiNG iN-
mike: **starts rapping**
me: hmm.... okay then
Lol

This version is way better
@Yagnesh Prajapati jesus fucking christ
@@HitlerGaymes123 it isn't
Crawling is my fave song of LP's and this version really does NOT disappoint! wow! Well done guys. thank you for releasing it to the world now
This version is way better.
I like this more. The song really needed a bridge and this delivered. A combination of the two would be wonderful.
I love the feat is powerful part
During the chorus, the vocals get lost in the mix. Its good that the final mix had the vocals brought out a lot more. I like the adlibs during the verses though, which I think adds a lot. I like the vocals during "so insecure" (the layering).
The beginning of the song gave me chills when I heard his voice, I was like wow.....
02:28 Wow! Why the producer removed this part? Too strong and awesome!
:O
It slows down the 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
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
Wow wow it's like 2015. LP posting a song and I hear Chester singing 🥺😍 you haven't gone . My Soul Saviour 🙌😍
1:23 they should have kept that for the first verse/chorus transition in the final product. It's so eerie and cool and works so well with the song.
I like this one
Love Mike's little solo that got cut and having Chester in the back towards the end of it 🙌
i like how the chorus builds up and then all the instrumentals are stripped besides the beat and mike has a verse on this
Ahh!
I hate you so much right now

Rest in peace Chester. We love you!
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
Это офигенно. Спасибо из России!
why does the beginning sound so creepy, almost reversed..😭😭
Rip Chester and literal shoutout to Kelis for the reference at the beginning.
This should have a post production 💔💔💔
Linkin park , это рай для моих ушей! From Russia this love!
i love you Linkin Park
Damn, I was waiting to scream "CRAAAAWLING" at 2:27 and then Mike randomly starts singing
Much better than the original.
@@HitlerGaymes123 Debatable
@@HitlerGaymes123 i prefer tge original
Lol me too.
@@HitlerGaymes123 honestly I agree with you. Like it gave the song major variety and Linkin Park was known for that. RIP Chester❤
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!
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
This is already so polished it’s nuts. They were already right there.
I’m still obsessed with the fact that Chester is stuck within these songs
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
AHHHHHHHHHHH, I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
-Chester whenever the heck this demo was made
Чес, помним тебя. Покойся с миром.
why do we love the raw expression of these dark thoughts so much? 🖤
мурашки по коже от их музыки))))))))
Back in elementary school I recommended Crawling to my friend. Later he said he listened to it but didn't seem like a real LP song. He said it sounded like 'a girl talking through a phone' and it was 4 minutes long. It is now that I realize he listened to this version. I didn't even know it existed until now.
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.
Very beautiful.
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.
I haven’t listened to this song in a bit. And the “I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW” still gets me in tears
" I hate you so much right now "
Sickkkk
Chester being a mood since the 2000s :)
Love the demos, so creative and real.
Tem como não se emocionar com isso? Slk, LP será lembrado pra sempre.
Vdd
Так непривычно слышать это в 2020, ощущение дежавю. Вспоминаю, как когда-то давно услышал релиз современного crawling. Даже появились нотки ностальгии

Плакал?
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

@@marciodias1505Wtf are you on about? Mike doesn't sing on the chorus. It's Chester's voice layered
I have this song version when i'm in middle school and lost the mp3. Ive been looking around for this and never found it. Glad to find it now
Ребят вы не перестаёте удивлять такие видео помогают ближе познакомиться с группой
Эх, в начале 00-ых бы познакомиться...Жалко я тогда был еще тем пездюком)
@@Сыркин я вообще 2004 года.
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
OMG!! I LOVE THIS SONG!👌✨ LP FOREVER!
A demo de uma das melhores músicas já feitas em todos os tempos. Linkin Park nunca decepciona.
Crawling sempre foi e sempre vai ser a música que me introduziu ao LP, é a minha favorita e pqp essa versão
Essa letra me descreve desde q foi lançada. Uma das melhores sem dúvida.
@@mondegoju tão insegura que coloca foto oficial de perfil kkkk
A Crawling oficial é muito ruim, tiraram praticamente toda a participação do Shinoda, e ainda cagaram no som.
A demo é uma das melhores músicas, a lançada é apenas tolerável.
this song is in my head !!!!
in your head only anime
I’m currently reading Jeff Blue’s book “One Step Closer: From Xero to #1”. I’m at the part of the book where the band brought this demo in among others. I can’t imagine that day for Jeff. That must have been a magical moment! And I totally agree with Jeff’s problem with the song (Mike apparently had a thing for rain metaphors a little too often for Jeff). I also think this was the first demo where Chester really shined........
Goosebumps and headlights? Linkin Park hasn't done that to me in a while. Yes. I love it.
this is so different and amazing, i love it. RIP Chester Bennington you are loved and missed dearly. sincerely your fans
Melhor banda
Amo de paixão
Orgulho de ser souldier❤️
That rap part before the second chorus, omg ❤
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 💯 ❤🤘👑🎙️🎤♓❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥♾️🕊️🥹💔
Shinoda killin it with the rap!
On the Album version on Hybrid Theory of you hear closely the Whispers on the second verse are still present faintly.
Ребята,вы заставляете меня плакать
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.
Damn, u know the final song is a masterpiece when the demo is already a wonderful piece of art
