“Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.”

In our band, there are many moments that help define–to us and you–who we are as a group. With each of those moments, we weigh a myriad of factors–how we felt about it, what the fans’ reactions were, how it affected the band in broad or specific terms. Are these lyrics offensive? Should we curse on that song? Should we tour with this band? Should we put our song in that movie?

Each time we enter a new phase of the band, we rely on our own sense of what we like, and mix it with the opinions of people whose opinions we trust and value.

This is one of those times.

At the link below, you’ll find a list of questions. It only takes a few moments to fill out. But by doing so, you could–quite literally–be helping define the future of Linkin Park. Let us know who you are and what you want. As an added bonus, one person will receive an autographed A THOUSAND SUNS box set.

hope everyone takes the survey.
I voted In Pieces, Easier to Run and Valentines Day as my top 3 LP songs. (In pieces live one time)

Did this a while ago, get too choose your favourite 3 LP songs at the end.
Maybe taking certain songs into consideration for a setlist?

=/ I think it's great that they're asking our opinions, but the fans shouldn't help define the future of the band. That's the band's job. Just do whatever you want guys.

Im having trouble deciding my third favorite LP song, in all honesty my third favorite is always changing. My top two, BTH and WFTE, dont change though. I can't decide on a third song, other than that im done with the survey

Took it. Papercut, A Place For My Head, Figure.09. I took one of these a while back as well.

I'm really happy they asked so much about the live shows and what our top 3 songs are (voted for Figure.09, Papercut and Lying From You). I'm sure they'll recognize the answers and will switch something up in the future.

ok, i ended up voting WFTE, BTH, and figure.09. BTH and WFTE are my two favorites. I voted figure.09 cause i couldn't decide on a third favorite and im hoping they will play this song live someday again

my fave 3 songs were blackout,iridescent and robot boy

Oh boy, this is hard…

Cool that they've done this though I wish you could write your own comments than having to select stock answers on a drop down :/ I now look like an elitist prick that only likes HT and Meteora lol though I did point out the most recent show I went to was probably the best I've seen of them. 3 faves were PMA, ND and APFMH. At least there's 2 chances that a new song will be played in future haha

Lol 3 Favourite Music Websites- #1 was LPLive

I put my favourite 3 songs as Numb, Iridescent and With You, though I'd have picked And One if it was an option.

Kay, so I sticked with "Don't Stay", "Jigga What/Faint" and "The Catalyst" - I agree with Rob_Wilson, though. It's kinda hard not looking like an ATS-hater/HT lover, when being honest.
In my opinion the "problem" with ATS is, that it's a true masterpiece. It's more of an opera, looking at it from a structural point of view (yeah, I know, hard to compare), so it's freaking amazing when listening to it completely, but the songs taken one by one are great - but apparently don't reach the level of former stuff.
Just an opinion, though, nothing to believe in

Voted for My December, Easier to run, Figure.09

So hard to decide but I want some from HT

- With You
- By Myself
- Forgotten

That was stressful
Some of the questions, I was like, why do you need to know this!?

3 favourite songs was tough. I felt pressured in case my vote actually swayed any decision making. Ridiculous, I know, but couldn't help feeling that if I picked a certain song like NRL, it was a waste, given that Mike said in the chat recently that it doesn't sound good live. Thats assuming of course, that the song choices are geared towards setlists.

In the end, I just stuck my principals and picked my 3-favourites: Blackout, Iridescent and APFMH.
However, ATL was not available as a choice and that is one of my all time favs.
I would've also liked a comments section instead of picking from the drop down lists.

Still, interesting survey. Who knows, maybe they'll finally stop using myspace

I do not like the question about comparing the concerts, it was either better, worse, or didn't like it, and both the concerts I went to were equally awesome and same with the ranking of ATS. I went to my iTunes most played list for top songs, and my top Linkin Park song is She Couldn't played 80 more times than the second most played LP song

And what is Aloof?

I'm surprised so many of you voted for softer songs. For all the complaining that goes on here about set lists, most people seem to have voted for songs that they play all the time anyway.

i did with you, figure.09 and P5hng Me A*wy

I missed the:
*Too poor to afford tickets and travel.
*I hate the ats setlists so far.

answers, on live show questions.

I'm concerned about their focus on radio stations/services and iPhone Apps.

I voted for Iridescent which is one of my favourites but I don't like it live. Same goes for BITS, WFTE and LOATR. I really like those songs but I think they're weak live. Just my opinion.
I prefer certain songs live and certain songs on the album. I love The Catalyst but I would like them to perform it live without the vocoder (or whatever its called). Personally, I think it would be better.


I would've like to see an option of picking favourite live songs and favourite album songs.

Again...just my opinion

I was surprised it didn't ask if the fans liked the dvd behind the scenes coming in a cd package. I think they should be included with all albums. Give insight on certain songs progression and also the mindset of the band when recording.

I took it and voted for A Place For My Head, Figure.09, and With You. I really like this idea, and hopefully they will see some honest results in this survey.

No kidding. I voted for songs I've never seen, or at least haven't been released on a DVD

I voted for When They Come For Me, Blackout, and In Between and my top 3 LP songs.

And I was being completely serious.

The first two were easy for me:

1. With You (HT)
2. By Myself (HT)

But at the third song, it was such an hard choice!

BTH - Easier to Run - Cure for the Itch (HT) - Session AAAAAARGH!

After all I chose Easier to Run, because of the amazing bridge and verses.

I was thinking about choosing Empty Spaces as my favorite ATS song, just for the lulz.

There was no option for "I can't afford to join the LPU" LOL
Picking my favourite song was hard because they are like literally all my favs depending on what mood I'm in
but I picked Jornada Del Muerto (call me weird lol), The Catalyst, and Papercut!
Also put LPLive as my top music blogging site or whatever it asked.

My Songs: A Place For My Head, Figure.09, Runaway

Pure Nu Metal

Finally, the band has realized the mistake they have made to change its style of music, the survey says it all.

/facepalm

Anyway, as for three favorites, it was tough but I picked Iridescent, Papercut, and In Pieces.

No one is this dumb, go away troll.

I chose Iridescent, Points of Authority and No Roads Left. I took me about 10 minutes to try and choose them haha.
What did you guys put for artists to collaborate with?

P5hng, SIB, WTFE. Really needed a least liked songs option if they wanted to know what direction not to head in.

And it also would have been nice to answer more about the live concerts.

Voted for Given Up, What I've Done and Valentine's Day for my top 3 fav LP tracks.

i put Eminem, Blink-182, and Muse


Yes they should have had a least like option, i would have voted Robot Boy and The Catalyst for sure

InnerPartySystem, Korn and Skindred

But seriously, and LP and IPS collaboration would actually make my life.

agreed

chose With You, My December and something else. Pissed that She Couldn't wasn't there... my favourite song
and they give rugby as an option for watching but not playing...
such an american survey

Everyone vote for the Reanimation songs =D

I don't think the question which says why aren't you in the LPU has enough options. There should have been one which said like.. i want to.. but i just cbf. And what LinkinMark said

also the how would you describe LP question should have had 2 phases. 1 for present and 1 for what you would like to see in the future

it's sooo hard to choose songs. Ended up with Papercut, Easier to Run and Breaking the Habit.

That survey needed to be worded a little better.
Like the song balance question. I wanted a "less singles" option.
And for LPU "too poor"

Took me FOREVER to choose 3 faves. Honestly its Numb, Faint, and From the Inside (METEORA BABY!), but then my brain went to setlists. So I choose

Easier to Run
A Place For My Head
Wretches and Kings.

Really its quite close because I love all their songs. I wish that And One had been on there.

This mostly seemed like intel for advertisement. But whatever. Hopefully they'll really look at the "favorite songs" part.

I also put lplive as my fav music site

one step closer
faint
no more sorrow

'Cor, what do you guys want? A survey asking "what should we include in our survey?"

Papa Roach
Hollywood undead
Korn

I chose With You, APFMH and F.09 as 3 songs

I see we have many chances to return Figure.09 LIVE. It's just great.


Eminem
Avril Lavigne

Haha I was going to put Avril Lavigne too lol.
I can't even remember what I put now. I checked my iPod to see what other artists I had but I didn't have many so I think I left it blank.
For who I want to see them perform live with I put Fort Minor, Coldplay and One Republic!

For the songs, I picked Easier to Run, Blackout and Waiting for the End. I didn't put much thought into that one actually. Just picked the songs that I like at the moment.



If you're talking about the "artists I want to see perform with Linkin Park" question, I picked Lupe Fiasco, Danger Mouse and Glitch Mob. I doubt they could ever perform with Danger Mouse though, because he's a producer.

I put:

Jimmy Eat World
Three Days Grace

and...

Foo Fighters
