RogueSoul Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 On the same day that the band's new single 'Heavy' featuring Kiiara is expected to be released, Linkin Park will be holding a special live broadcast on Facebook Live! The stream is labelled as a "special live event," and you can access it from this link. The stream is expected to start at 12:10 PM PST, so be sure to get those reminders in and check your timezones. Here's a countdown timer if you want it! We're not exactly sure what we can expect from this event, but we can take some good guesses. For one, the band has been rehearsing for more than a week now at Third Encore, with snippets of the band practicing posted on various members' social media. Just yesterday Mike played the intro to 'Heavy' on his Instagram story, while today on Joe's Instagram, you can see him messing around with samples from 'Lost In The Echo.' It seems likely that this will be a live performance, making it the band's first performance since November 2015 (not counting Chester and Joe's short bout in China last year). Live shows are what we're all here for, first and foremost, so let's get speculating - what song's will we see? Will we hear 'Heavy' played for the first time ever? Will the band bring out some random older cuts to add to the set? Will we see a full set or a short set (like 2012's Rio+Social event)? There's lots of possibilities, so let us know what you think! Check out this performance of 'Numb' from the Rio+Social event. Also performed that session were two then-new songs from Living Things, 'Burn It Down' and 'Lies Greed Misery.' As always, be sure to follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page so you can get the latest information about the band. We'll keep bringing updates about the livestream as they come. Let us know what you think the band are going to do! Quote
Dimitris1 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Propably we'll get the album title,release dates and the band discussing about heavy/album Quote
stich Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Could someone post the link to mike instagram video? I think that heavy will be played Quote

Foo Fighters on the other hand, those dudes JAM. I've seen numerous foo's members live in other bands and those dudes love to improvise and just rock out to songs on the fly. Great musicians. Quote

I think they are kind of a jam band actually, since they improvise a lot of comedy kind of songs (many LPTV and LPU episodes are dedicated to those kind of songs), and play their own songs in other styles (like BID reagge version). In addition their music is partially written in a jam kind of fashion, especially THP. Of course they aren't the best improvisators, just listen to Brad's Faint solo. Quote
Justin Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 They became the type of band that can jam together over the years, but they weren't at first. On the making of Meteora, they specifically stated that they were not a jam band lol Quote

RogueSoul Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Really not vibing Chester's recent quaker costumes If he comes out onstage screaming in a pilgrim costume, I might have to leave the venue. Quote
LPMaskMan Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I'd laugh if they won't play anything, just sit in the studio and talk about the album release and other info. Quote
crazygolfer Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I love Chester's look there. He looks snazzy as hell. Quote
