Why Dave using a broken guitar in shows for Given Up?is it a tradition or something like that?

 

Posted Image Posted Image

 

I remember he said that he uses this bass because it still works, even if it's broken (he said more reasons but I don't remember them), he said it in a LPtv episode. The bass is used in Give up performances because of it's specific sound, it sounds a bit more "juicy" or "wet" for me (just tried to found right words for the sound, I don't know if it's right words)

Which songs on LP shows did Chester play guitar?

 

I only remember Wish.

It's Goin' Down, Shadow of the Day, Iridescent, plus solo acoustic performances from time to time (Jane Says/Morning After, and some LPU Summit performances of The Messenger).

Phoenix throws that bass after Given Up every time he uses it, it's been a tradition for over 5 years. His bass tech keeps figuring out ways to keep it working. The entire preamp section is gone (no volume/tone knobs, the bass is now just "on" or "off" depending on if it's plugged in or not), all of the tuning pegs have snapped off so it has to be tuned with a screwdriver, the upper horn of the body is bolted back together using an extra neck plate, and the nut is broken so badly that the strings are literally laying on top of the frets. The only reason the bass is still usable at all is because Phoenix uses distortion on Given Up, and it helps to hide the terrible buzzing noises the strings make.

 

Here are some shots of what that bass looks like these days:

Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington perform "Sex Type Thing" for a private Point Soundcheck Party at Pop's before for Ho Ho Show #3 on December 11th, 2013:

Does anyone have a download for the Sex Type Thing video? My usual extension to download videos doesn't work on this one.

Who can help here?

This has been bugging me for a while. Does anyone know why when LP does US tours, sometimes the promo adds and flyers and stuff won't list the co-headliner? For example, some of the Honda Civic Tour flyers said ''Linkin Park with Mutemath'' even though Incubus was also playing the show. In 2008 there were a lot of flyers that said ''Linkin Park with Chiodos'' even though Coheed And Cambria also played. Or in 2007, sometimes it would say all the main stage acts besides My Chemical Romance. Also, both Projekt Rev's in 2007 and 2008 hardly ever listed the Revolution stage artists. I guess my question is, does LP choose the co-headliners, or do they only choose the supporting acts, etc?

This is probably a stupid question, but was the 11/14/1997 show with Xero and System Of A Down the first known date of the band overall? I know there have been pics of flyers and stuff like that from over the years, but I'm really curious. Mike also mentioned in the SSMF interview that the show with System Of A Down was one of their very first shows, so this made me more curious.

It was their first show.

It all takes the band back to the very beginning, like their memorable first set at the Whisky. "Our very first show there we opened up for SX-10, with Sen Dog from Cypress Hill, and System of a Down," Shinoda recalled. "I remember really vividly that I had seen System play there before.

 

"It was the era where Incubus played there all the time, System played there quite a bit. And we played our set, which was probably 30 minutes at the time, and it was all friends. Nobody had even heard our music – they were there just to support friends."

 

After SX-10 performed, System of a Down's set was memorable for other reasons, he said. "It turned out that a couple of the guys had smoked weed with Sen backstage and got laid out. They were incapacitated. They were two hours late to start their set because some of them were just, like, unable to function." On the Strip? We'll have to take his word for it.
