Ran across this on the LPMB / LPUMB, so I thought I'd be nice and share. Check it out. Asian tour preview and Las Vegas pre-show writeup coming within the next few days.
From September 22nd: "My name is Jamie Lan, one of the 150 fans from Taiwan who started waiting at the soccer stadium 6 weeks ago for the concert of Linkin Park. I wanna share our story with all the Linkin Park fans in the world." Full thing: http://forums.linkinpark.com/showthread.php?t=9823 Thoughts? Someone is more hardcore than us....? Wow. -------------------- QUOTE Victim of the 2011 Atlanta plot twist!

that's stupid, if you ask me. what do they win by waiting there for 6 whole weeks? wasted time. there's a limit to dedication, imo.

Seeing as this is going to be the second time LP will appear there. Of course there is going to be A LOT of people trying to be first to the show and well People do wait that long to be first to the show.
These guys ARE the HARDCORE FANS! I would never see this anywhere else as far as the dedication goes to see Your #1 Band for the First time or second time upclose. These guys deserve to meet the band. --------------------   |

As pointless as getting there a day / the night before the show. This is not dedication, this is just crazy.

uh that's extremely pointless. I know LP has only been to Taiwan twice but there can't possibly be that many people showing up early that they need to get there 6 weeks in advance. maybe 1 week at the most
If someone did this in America they wouldn't be told how "hardcore" they wouldn't get this kind of recognition. They aren't "hardcore" they obviously don't have lives and want to get recognized so they did something stupid. good job! LP have only been here 3 times and the last time I went I got there at 10am and there was no one in line. How is this any different? |

Yeah i've heard about this. I can't decide if it's huge dedication or a bit pointless. Good luck to them anyway!

Rick is now the default avatar for those who are too lazy to set one up.

I agree in that I think this is taking dedication to a whole new, unhealthy extreme. I don't know that I could ever allow myself to do something like this. But more power and well wishes to those who are brave enough to do this.

For those who don't know, the Taipei show last year had over 40,000 in attendance. This is the 2nd largest LP show ever I think, only to Sao Paulo 2004. It can be argued that LP had more fans at like Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Download, some other festivals, etc, but those are festivals with a lot of bands, and LP is simply headlining. However, since all those people decided to stay for LP, I guess you could count that as an LP attendance.
Wherever their attendance records stand...Sao Paulo 04, all the international 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2008 festival shows/shows in countries that hardly get LP shows like Kuala Lumpur, Taiwan is definitely one that ranks in the top percentage. I'd like to see a list of the top like, 10 LP shows as far as attendance goes. Maybe that's a project I can work on this fall for you guys if anyone's interested. -------------------- QUOTE Victim of the 2011 Atlanta plot twist!
