Geki Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Or bring Rakim to rap his part on GATS. I'm surprised Rebellion is chosen, since it's in a different tuning and he didn't record it. I'm still waiting for Brad to stop being lazy and learn the simple guitar parts to Powerless. Brad is severely underestimated as a guitarist within the LP fanbase. He isn't a bad guitarist, he is actually pretty damn good. He isn't ''flashy'' and doesn't like to show off, like members of the band have said, but that doesn't make him bad or anything. I think if Brad wanted to play Rebellion and tried he could definitely do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassCastles Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't think it was ever a question of Brad's abilities as to whether Rebellion was played or not. It was a matter of Brad putting effort into learning a part he never played before and the issue of the song being a tuning no other song from the band uses (Drop C).

RogueSoul Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Something's being sacrificed for Rebellion, definitely. Eb tuned songs (APFMH, Forgotten) or the 7-String songs (With You, Runaway, Somewhere I Belong) for the Drop C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridParty Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 My Guess is Eb, because the band has been playing With You a lot recently. But hey! You never know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw818 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I never underestimated Brad's abilities. He just doesn't put effort in learning certain things. I remember an old quote from Chester: "We're not the Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd. We're Linkin Park, and we cut all the fat out. We don't do guitar or drum solos." Kinda weird coming from Chester, since he barely plays guitar and doesn't play drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres times he would pull off the In Pieces solo pretty well live, and then theres times it sounds awful like this gem. Not only that, but hes also been struggling with GATS solo which is relatively easy. But like I said, he can prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about In Pieces, he has had times where he performed the solo just fine and times that it sounded poor, like the performance listed above. I personally think the performance on the LOATR single was the best one. But yeah, sometimes Brad is not consistent when it comes to live performances, but I think he can still play with the best of them and I think he will nail Rebellion.

southpaw818 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 If The Hunting Party was made to be played live, then Living Things certainly wasn't. I guess they wanna play only the five singles from the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyleronlplive Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I hope that Chester Brad and Mike all play guitar on it, that way Mike can do the synth parts in the breakdown along with Joe and it will give the guitars some heavy texture to it. I was actually hoping they would add ALITS (what I think is possibly their best song) or maybe All For Nothing or War, but this is all right, as long as they debut more songs as the tours progress (Europe, South America). I jst hope that they get it to work out and it doesn't take several shows to sound halfway decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesck547 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's great that they're adding Rebellion! It's my favorite song from THP, and I can't wait to see how it will sound live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Realllly hoping to be picked by the LPU for this rehearsal. Either way ill be at WPB and Tampa cant wait. Hey did you get picked? I got my confirmation today. I think everyone that entered the rehearsal got in because there were 20 entries exactly when I checked right before the deadline. That should be perfect.

HyruleKing Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I would ask for a recording of Rebellion...but this song will be played live for the first time ever! And if i was there i would COMPLETELY enjoy the song instead of recording it. So enjoy the song guys, any song recorded will be appreciated Edited August 5, 2014 by HyruleKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I hope that Chester Brad and Mike all play guitar on it, that way Mike can do the synth parts in the breakdown along with Joe and it will give the guitars some heavy texture to it.

I jst hope that they get it to work out and it doesn't take several shows to sound halfway decent. There's absolutely no reason for Rebellion to have 3 guitars on it. The only point there's even 2 parts in the song is when the lead melody is played, and the guitar is as low in the mix during the synth breakdown as it is at any point in the song, so there would be no reason to have 2 guitars in that section. Not to mention that Chester is almost certainly incapable of playing all of Rebellion in its entirety (particularly when he has to sing harmonies throughout most of the song), and there's no way for Linkin Park's live rig to accomodate 3 electric guitars at once. Chester and Mike play through the same guitar rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigito1995 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) gonna be interesting show I can't wait to see rebellion and FM live Edited August 6, 2014 by Gigito1995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw818 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I think Mike should play guitar to In The End all the time. This way the harmonics part of the chorus wouldn't be sampled. Brad would play that part and Mike would play the power chords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigito1995 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) some songs actually needed a guitar solo before hunting party but instead it's being replaced by electronics (eg.WFTE) whenever I hear this song live I laugh my ass off , I mean the synth part after the second bridge is clearly obvious yet brad manages to play random notes as if he's doing a solo or something , samething with BTH i see brad's playing guitar but i could hear nothing 2007 was the only year probably that he's ever done a decent outro of faint instead of hitting randomly notes which sound like mess iam eager to see brad playing rebellion , I mean it's not that hard , there are tons of covers for it from normal guitarists who played guitars for 2 years or so brad is playing guitar for over 17 years , and i can't wait to see chester's scream at last bridge that would be epic ..
