Hear Linkin Park’s unreleased ‘Hybrid Theory’ era demo “She Couldn’t”

Linkin Park have been keeping fans busy with teasers, particularly with the launch of an interactive website for Hybrid Theory’s 20th anniversary this month.

Earlier this week, they released a capsule of Hybrid Theory merch. Now, the band are unleashing the latest Easter egg on the site with the announcement of a 20th anniversary box set and unreleased demo, “She Couldn’t.”

Linkin Park started teasing their interactive website on Aug. 7, asking fans, “Anyone know anything about 20 year old computers?”

The group followed it up by sending fans to a desktop straight out of 2000 to help them “get files off” of said computer.

On Wednesday, the band dropped a screenshot of the site with an email that reads, “Hey guys, I think we’ere all set. Let’s drop the announcement tomorrow at 7 a.m. PST via WebMeeting.”

Once on the site, you can click the WebMeeting icon on the left, which launches an option to choose a room called “LP Announcement Meeting Room.”

From there, you can “start” your meeting with the band, which brings up an announcement for Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition.

In addition to the box set reveal, the band also dropped 1999 demo “She Couldn’t” from the Hybrid Theory sessions. The track first surfaced in 2009 when a fan discovered a demo CD on eBay. Since then, it has made its way to YouTube through various fan uploads over the years.
