hahninator Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 hey guys I didn't know where to pst this but in a greek site (rocking.gr) it says that Linkin Park didn't play Given Up and Hands Held HIgh because Chinese Government asked them to remove the tracks from the setlist. It also says that the reasons of this demand were not defined...(source:http://www.rocking.gr/article6275.php) pretty weird huh? Yep, it was due to political reasons; fuck the Chinese government. I wasn't sure what the exact reason was for it until I asked a member of LP's touring crew who confirmed that it was a political decision by the government of China. Show page: http://www.lplive.net/shows/20090815.php Scan of the article saying they can't play those two songs: http://www.lplive.net/shows/stuff/20090815.jpg Translation of the article: http://www.lplive.net/shows/stuff/shanghai09_note.txt "So please follow the official reply's requirements to remove the two songs, GIVEN UP and HANDS HELD HIGH, and make sure things proceed as stated below." It's true the reasons weren't defined. Maybe they meant No More Sorrow and translated it wrong and said Given Up instead? NMS is much more political, haha. All I know is that's some complete bullshit - I'm glad I live in America.

hahninator Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Off-topic but it's LPLive so off topic never matters really, haha. And yes, of course. I never said China is bad. It's a great country with excellent scenery and great people. I disagree with their government in quite a few ways but that doesn't neccessarily mean it's wrong. It's not something I personally like - I like the US's policies, etc much better but I have no right to force my opinion on others, lol. I'm sure if I went to China it'd be a lot of fun, but my point is that I wholeheartedly disagree with the censorship of music of any kind, whether it be the RIAA or the Chinese government and since I like LP so much it's just total bullshit to tell them they can't play some of their music they worked hard on in my opinion.
