hahninator Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hmm I don't think they'll rehearse any other new songs for this. This is immediately after Europe. I think they'll do Wastelands, GATS, UIG and some hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll do Wastelands, GATS, UIG and some hits. You have a good point. I honestly completely forgot how close this date was to the end of the Euro Tour haha. Something interesting that I'm unsure will happen though, is that bands like to take requests from fans at this show. 30 Seconds To Mars (who often takes requests, though) and I believe Avenged Sevenfold took requests for songs to be played at the show and complied. Maybe LP will do the same, it being an intimate show and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 This is great, I was at the ATS release show and it was one of the best LP concerts I have been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 They don't play a full set here, the bands play only like 5~ songs or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just took a look - I guess it is possible they'll play a full set. I didn't know Kings Of Leon played 13 songs there. Of all the bands I have watched there via webcast, it's always between 5-7 songs. Maybe LP will get to play a full set. We will see. Guilty All The Same Given Up Wastelands Waiting For The End Until It's Gone In The End Faint Maybe something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotrix Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Linkin Park's performance and Q&A at KROQs Red Bull Sound Space on June 17th will be streamed live HERE at 3 PM EST / 12 PM PT. Also, check out Mike Shinoda's interview with Radio.com Rock music has gone this direction that's basically become like indie pop jingles. It's like songs that could be on Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and the Disney Channel. And I feel like I can't see myself writing music like that. I don't wanna follow that trend. ... Whats going on out there in rock music, is that rock music, even the most popular ones, are not really influencing the zeitgeist. Its not moving the needle of pop culture. And I dont want rock to be pop. Do you agree that "rock" has effectively devolved into "pop?" Who are some of your favorite "heavy" rock bands?

Dave-Stone55 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think that there is a fine line between what can be called "rock" and pop," that changes throughout the years and decades. In the 80's, you might have said the difference between pop and rock would be Madonna and U2. In the 90's, you could say the fine line was between Ace of Base and Soundgarden, but ultimately it will always change. But what we can always count on is Linkin Park being the band to cross over both lines and mesh them into one big epic album that pushes both sides of the boundaries!

Michelbeats Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He's on point with that. Imo i don't hear that ballsy rock music anymore. Radio's here play the rock from the early 2000's.But at the same time, you won't be saving rock music with just one album. (Talking about The Hunting Party)The band is super creative with pushing boundaries, so in imo, push rock music. Push the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what the everliving fuck was this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Things_(Linkin_Park_album) That's one of the greatest LP albums. Just chill out with your hate on Living Things, it wasn't that bad. Just because it didn't sound like Hybrid Theory/Meteora or heavy like The Hunting Party doesn't mean it's bad. There were some good songs on Living Things, especially the second half of the album for sure. It had some pop rock sounding songs on the album, but so didn't Minutes To Midnight. The type of music that Mike is describing really does not sound anything like Living Things to me, but I guess that is just my opinion.

What annoys people in LT, isn't the heaviness, it's popiness. LT contains more heavy songs than ATS. The type of music that Mike is describing really does not sound anything like Living Things to me, but I guess that is just my opinion. Your guess is wrong! It's my opinion too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what the everliving fuck was this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Things_(Linkin_Park_album) Well your favorite song is Powerless and it is the only pop song in the album, the rest are experimental, weird, unique and powerful songs. LT doesn't sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddWilliamson Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I think name dropping Trent Reznor at the end was a smart move. Nine Inch Nails are a band who are known to have pushed boundaries in rock music. For anyone who knows Nine Inch Nails, it's not difficult to make the comparison from records like Pretty Hate Machine & The Downward Spiral to Hesitation Marks. March Of The Pigs to Came Back Haunted is a big transition. I'm not saying that an album like Hesitation Marks is a bad album, in fact I think it is a beautifully artistic album, but it is not an album that challenges the listener or pushes any sounds or ideas. It incorporates many pop and soundtrack elements. When more and more rock bands (for example, Nine Inch Nails & Linkin Park [pre-The Hunting Party]) are incorporating the pop sound into the music, there is little music left that has excitement for rock music fans and it also leaves the radio high and dry in terms of rock music music. The only rock song featured in the New Zealand Top 40 right now is Final Masquerade, and that isn't even receiving radio play. Personally, this is just my reading into Mike has said. I agree with him to a point, but at the same time, the world is changing. Music can exist without record labels and radio play thanks to the internet, and now the radio and record labels and holding on to each other in order to not fall apart. It is causing them to play it safe and stay away from artists that aren't producing the homogenised sound that represents the present (youth) culture. It makes sense for all parties involved and it's now up to individual artists to do as they please because they don't need record labels or the radio anymore, they can bypass the whole system and still make a living. It would be great to hear rock music in pop culture again (and I'm sure it would if the pop / rock "zeitgeist" continued), but trends come and go and right now, rock isn't a trend.Edit: Also, I have thrown the Red Bull Sound Space in my diary. I can't wait to hopefully hear some new songs live. Edited June 15, 2014 by ToddWilliamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stich Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 How much time thery've got to play? I'm asking because I've seen both Blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves and they both played for 30-35 minutes. Hope LP got much time than this, but I'm skeptical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
