Xero21 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Total opposite of the reality of the situation here - Not Alone is the only one of the three that stands ANY chance whatsoever of being played live, it was part of a huge promotional effort on the band's part to raise awareness of the situation in Haiti, and even had a music video. No matter how good Across the Line and Blackbirds are, the blunt truth is that they're rejects - they didn't make Minutes to Midnight because the band didn't think they were good enough. Why would the thought of playing them live ever cross their mind? 90% of the audience at a Linkin Park show (perhaps even more) wouldn't give a shit about them playing a song from a fan club CD or a song that was an unlockable track in an iPhone app. "That's nice...play Bleed it Out!" - attitude of the average concert-goer after hearing a song they aren't familiar with. If the band thought Blackbirds deserved to be played live, they would have put it on Minutes to Midnight, or at least waited less than 3 years before releasing it as an afterthought. I don't get why people bring up this topic every time a b-side/previously unreleased track comes out - 95% of the time, there's no chance of it being played live. And even if they are, look how long QWERTY and Reading My Eyes lasted in LP's live sets. The last non-single, non-album track to be played live with any regularity was the piano version of My December. Before that, you have to go all the way back to My December and It's Goin' Down being played regularly in the first half of 2004 (or the medley from the second half of 2004, if you want to get technical). It's time to wake up, guys. If a song isn't either A) an album song, or a song that received substantial commercial promotion, the chances of LP playing it live are slim to none. You don't think LP is going to promote their iPhone app? I'd say by the time the game is out/after it's been out a little while it will have received at least almost as much promotion as Download To Donate and Not Alone. And you call Across The Line and Blackbirds rejects; what does that make Not Alone? For the record I don't think any of these songs will be played live, but I'd say Blackbirds has just as much a chance as Not Alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I guess we'll have to wait to hear the song before we can make this judgment. For all we know they might need an orchestra, and two billion guitars...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkindude92 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 You better be jokingno really hit the floor was great. i wanna see it again live. but i am not sure if it will happen again. as there were many problem with rob playing it same prob with ETR.

sckofelng Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 hit the floor should happen, at the LPU tour it sounded extremely massive and thats what i wanna hear again from LP @topic: i personally think that you guys should wait until the song is released otherwise it makes no sense to talk about it being played live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996_LP Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 They should play HTF & E2R again. They didn't give them much of a chance back then, but now their playing chops have improved greatly since '03 they could really turn those songs into whole new animals now.

Legend Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Im not joking. I'm all for HTF and Figure.09! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I highly doubt they will play Blackbirds live...it seems like one of those songs (Not Alone, She Couldn't, New Divide, Dedicated, Standing In The Middle, No Roads Left, etc.) that is just a 'rare' track. Although they could, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwhisker Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 An LPU tour would be perfect if they played all the songs their more hardcore fans will be wanting, like old stuff, b-sides, etc, as opposed to just singles for their mainstream audience.

ChuckCheese Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think they will play also Pictureboard and Fuse too. D: Definitely! Then they'll take us into their studio and give us every single one of their demos and unreleased songs! Along with some live shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZZY Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 If only that would happen lol. Like WOW! No more songs we wont have until a new batch is recorded haha. Well i think its about time this thread was closed..... Everyone seems to be going off topic lol, plus we're gonna have another argument sooner or later..

DogFan_LP Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I think "Blackbirds" has a chance to be in the setlist for their upcoming tour. But I guess that the song might be playing as an encore ^^ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyro Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 This is Linkin Park we're talking about here, not Tool. 15 seconds is more than enough to make a judgement on the song's tempo, which is pretty run of the mill. Total opposite of the reality of the situation here - Not Alone is the only one of the three that stands ANY chance whatsoever of being played live, it was part of a huge promotional effort on the band's part to raise awareness of the situation in Haiti, and even had a music video.

Thank goodness, some sense for once. I'm so sick of people trying to convince me that Across The Line or Blackbirds actually have a good chance of being played live.

Alexonlyalex Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Is Pictureboard any demo I haven't heard of? If I'm correct, then "Pictureboard" is a song that LP played once back in 2000 live and never again, either live or studio. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Sort of. The only fact whe know about it is that it was written in the Xero era (along with Esaul, rhinestone etc) but As far as we know "pictureboard" has never been played live in Linkin park Era (pre 1999 maybe?). It's even doubtful that there was ever a studio recording of it either. So... the chances of it being played live are 0.8009999% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
