I like to call it "play the poor victim to gain sympathy and popularity on the internet". It's obviously a lie, but those people like to be the center of attention for all the wrong reasons 

Straight facts. Some people are seriously addicted to that like count. “Wow thanks for all the likes!” Yeah here’s your trophy 🏆 for most liked sympathetic award 😂

If they went with a guy and Alex McMillan could work a bit more on his screams he'd be a good fit. He sounds close enough to Chester but doesn't mimic him in the same way that Hybrid Theory try to. 

 

You could even add two vocalists one male and one female if you wanna cover a few bases.

Not enough pipes for being a pro. singer.

Mike literally said he wouldn’t ever hire a chester sound alike or even work with someone who sounds like Mike himself! And I hate to say it but Alex definitely mimics Chester thus the thousand LP covers because he understands he can utilize his tonality to support his music career and I don’t blame him one bit. I would do exactly the same if I had the pipes and tone like him. It’s working out for him. But it would be really weird and kind of disrespectful to Chester to put him in the actual band. How would Chester feel if he were still around and Mike used a “sound alike” to replace Chester? Not a good move. The same goes for Dimitris P. No hate if they’re reading this but it’s true.

As far as the reddit/youtube comments, they're always gonna be there to some extent, but also they're gonna die down as the band actually gets out there & starts being active again. People will accept the new identity (those who won't, will either move on, or stay in comment sections as a complaining minority).

Right now a lot of that comes from the fear of the unknown combined with grief after Chester's passing, because many people still haven't moved on.

Yeah this sounds realistic. And that’s also why I wanted to be careful in my comment about those grieving, it’s okay to feel sad and be reminded and feel sad again and I think to various levels we all feel that way as time goes on. But it doesn’t seem healthy to constantly put yourself in those emotions and consistently bring it up whenever possible, especially in hopes to gain sympathy, because at that point it comes off as selfish and needy for attention. Theres a massive group of these types of people who seem to feed off one another’s similar comments and emotions and it’s like they’re all stirring in their own big pot of sadness for 7 years while Mike is like “Yep. So here’s an album, here’s a bunch of singles, here’s some songs I produced for fans, here’s new unreleased LP, time to hire a new singer (if that’s actually true) and the list goes on, while having been one of the closest people to Chester. Mike makes a great example of moving on and not wallowing in his sadness. But like you said, there’s really not stopping these sort of comments moving forward, probably not for another decade till people finally get tired of their own repetitive thoughts 💭 

[YRQRM0]

One thing I bet they'll do is create some new arrangements for the new singer ala Pushing Me Away on Piano. Imagine something like a new acoustic Waiting For The End or something that would really let her show her own style/tone, stuff like that is gonna do a lot for fans embracing her I think.

Yeah,you got a point there,I'm just feeling positive about the future of this whole thing

Me too! A new Era seems to be upon us. We all kinda need one. Theres been a lot of going backwards in time lately (thankfully because we got new old music) but we want a better closure at the end of all this. It’s been one hell of a journey as LP fans, especially for those day 1 underground street soldiers

I can’t be too sure, but yes I am pretty optimistic because I’m just looking at the fact that Mike keeps going, the band keeps putting out new music, they are doing a comeback tour… I mean, all signs for me point forward and appear to be a transitional thing. It’s like we’re in a transitional era at the moment 

[thigolpbr]

I hope this new phase of the band doesn't stop releasing the box set anniversary liked mtm20 and ats20 etc...

[Coizu]

So my guesses are we either get an update during the festival season which is about to start (maybe one festival bought like exclusive rights to advertise with LP on their lineup earlier for a while for example) or we have to wait until the end of the year when full festival lineups are getting revealed.

[LPLStaff]

Right now is when offers are being made for European 2025 summer headliners. If there is news on this front, we should hear in the late fall or early winter.

I am not going to answer any questions but shows as early as Q4 2024, I legally can't name names but you will see some familiar faces supporting the band some of which had toured with and some featured on prior albums and or cameoed on stage with LP.

I love hype 

[crazygolfer]

I wonder if LP officially found their "girl singer" or are still looking as Billboard stated.

Bobby Amaru should be the vocalist.. He loves LPs music and sounds so good, he's a beast.

 

I love his LP covers on tiktok.

I think they already found someone.

Otherwise it wouldn't make sense too stil be looking for it with bookings already being made. Not to mention Jay Gordon mentioning they already had the singer in the interview where he flipped his mouth.
