Linkin Park’s official YouTube account has the “BURN IT DOWN” music video uploaded in 1080p HD. It’s WAY better than MTV’s upload.

MTV has posted a video which shows footage from the BURN IT DOWN music video set. BURN IT DOWN will premiere on THURSDAY on MTV.

MTV has JUST confirmed that Linkin Park’s music video for BURN IT DOWN will premiere on MTV THIS Thurday at 5:53 p.m. ET on MTV!

Hey Linkin Park fans, are you ready to see the music video for the band’s chart-climbing single “Burn It Down?” Get ready for a little Christmas in May, because Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn will be on hand to introduce their brand-new clip via its global premiere on MTV Thursday, May 24, as part of “MTV First: Linkin Park.”

After the global premiere of the video at 5:53 p.m. ET on MTV, the band will stick around for a meaty 30-minute interview with MTV News’ James Montgomery on MTV.com. Fans can get in on the action by submitting their reactions to the clip in the comments section or on Twitter (using @MTVNews, hashtag #MTVFirst). During “MTV First,” the rock stars will also answer your Twitter questions and dish on the latest news.

“What’s interesting about this video is that we’re really trying to capture a live kind of element with the band playing very similarly to how we would perform live,” Bennington told MTV News recently when we were lucky enough to visit the video’s set. “The fact that we’re playing broken down, kind of like we’re playing live brings that organic vibe to the video, makes for this really cool almost plugged-in look that we have.”

“As the band has gotten older lyrically, my favorite [songs] over the past couple years have a lot of layers to them,” Shinoda said of the band’s evolution. “Part of that comes from the fact that all along, Chester and I, we have different life experiences and we tend to write the lyrics together, so although we’re writing one song, we’re coming at it from two different experience points. He may be writing about one thing he’s thinking and I might be writing about something completely different.”

The global partnership positions “Burn It Down” to reach more than 600 million households around the world via MTV’s global network of more than 60 channels and over 300 digital media properties in 150 plus territories. In the U.S., the video will debut during “MTV First” and will also premiere across MTV’s channels in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia, Asia and Africa.

Don’t miss the world premiere of the “Burn It Down” video during “MTV First: Linkin Park” on Thursday! It all starts at 5:53 p.m. ET on MTV, followed by an exclusive interview with the band on MTV.com.

The first look on “Burn It Down” music video, directed by Joe Hahn, has arrived. The set looks a lot like “New Divide’s” one, but something tells me the special effects are gonna be similar to the ones shown in the NBA Video. Ckeck it out below.

The cycle repeated
as explosions broke in the sky
all that I needed
was the one thing I couldn’t find

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
as the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this / but
couldn’t stop from tearing it down

And you were there at the turn
caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

(Mike rap)
You told me yes / You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier / You played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right / to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
so when you fall / I’ll take my turn
and fan the flames as your blazes burn

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

when you fall / I’ll take my turn
and fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

when you fall / I’ll take my turn
and fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground
