  • Brad Delson UCLA Commencement Speech

    June 16, 2009 84 Comments

    Brad Delson is one of the world's most fascinating wonders.

    I spoke at Art Center's graduation only a short time ago. When I was preparing for that speech, I did a lot of research, watching videos and reading speeches. If I had come across Brad's speech at that time, I would have stopped writing mine entirely. I would have just called Brad and begged him to write it for me!

    Enjoy,

  • New Divide Fan version

    May 14, 2009 23 Comments

    I have never seen anything like this...A fan has taken the short snippets of "New Divide" from the 30 second promo clip...and made an entire instrumental song out of it, to guesstimate what the song might sound like!

    For anyone that was told this is "the demo" of the song...it's not. But it is a nice piece of "fan music!"

    Even though I don't think "New Divide" actually sounds much like their song, I love the energy they put into it. Incidentally, the same fan / youtube user posted our actual promo video as well (below).

    PS - the video went well today. Good job, Mr. Hahn.
