eandy Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 MikeShinodaClan.com has scans of the new issue of Kerrang! with Linkin Park featured in it. If you aren't signed up there I recommend you sign up because they have an incredible gallery of pictures accessible with only a few clicks. In the article, Mike says the band is "hitting the studio pretty hard right now". He adds "This time we're not being so afraid of sounding like us and it's a good mix of old and new." "A Thousand Suns was intentionally polarising" he says. With more and more press posting about new LP, it's sounding quite likely the next studio album will indeed be released in 2012! Quote
problemdog Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 This is great. Finally we will get some info from reliable source. Quote
Xero21 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 SPOILERS: "one of the biggest bands of the past decade, Linkin Park is wasting no time getting to work on their yet-to-be-named 5th studio album. The band members are not saying much about the new music, except that it will once again be a change in direction from their last album, A Thousand Suns. Mike: (quotes about how hard they are working and how they definitely plan on the album releasing some time this year). Look for Linkin Park on tour this summer at Rock Am Ring and other soon to be announced dates." I bet that'll be the gist of what the preview says. But hopefully I'm wrong. Quote
Geki Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I was hoping for a spring 2013 release, that way we could actually get a US tour for once, like PR. Oh well. It'll probably end up sounding just as bad as ATS was and probably no US tour once again. Quote
lgr Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) probably no US tour once again. for the ATS touring cycle I count 29 US tour dates, giving the US a much more substantinal tour than any other actual country in the world. don't be stupid and ungrateful.

RiderSSPU Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Fianlly reliable source, hopefully something actually wothwhile Quote
shadowofthehabit92 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I'm stoked for Wednesday!!! Since they are on the cover, there has to be a pretty good story or interview on them. Quote
Geki Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 for the ATS touring cycle I count 29 US tour dates, giving the US a much more substantinal tour than any other actual country in the world. don't be stupid and ungrateful. The US got ONE tour for the whole album cycle. Europe got heaps of tours for the album. Asia, Australia and South America all got one tour as well. Europe had the most. So who is ungrateful here?

Astat Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 The US got ONE tour for the whole album cycle. Europe got heaps of tours for the album. Asia, Australia and South America all got one tour as well. Europe had the most. So who is ungrateful here? The U.S. got more shows than any other country on the ATS touring cycle, as has been the case with every touring cycle prior to it. The U.S. is a country. Europe is a continent. Apples to oranges, yadda yadda yadda. Quote
Mr X Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) The US got ONE tour for the whole album cycle. Europe got heaps of tours for the album. Asia, Australia and South America all got one tour as well. Europe had the most. So who is ungrateful here? Some places didn't even get one tour. Why didn't New Zealand, South Africa, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, Phillipines, Mexico, North Korea and Iran get a tour? Edited January 17, 2012 by DOGGIES!!! Quote

Apples to oranges, yadda yadda yadda. like I said - ...any other actual country in the world.travelling within the US is easier than europe - no language barriers, currency is all the same (the UK is europe too don't forget...) etc. Why didn't ... North Korea and Iran get a tour? U mad bro!? Edited January 17, 2012 by LGraham Quote
Mr X Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) U mad bro!? Couldn't resist throwing those names in. Also why the fuck have they never had a tour to the North Pole? Isn't Santa good enough for LP? Edited January 17, 2012 by DOGGIES!!! Quote
navabaca Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 For all US tour quarreling. From LPA Phoenix LPU Chat Summary: They will be definitely touring the U.S. Quote
hahninator Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 The U.S. got more shows than any other country on the ATS touring cycle, as has been the case with every touring cycle prior to it. The U.S. is a country. Europe is a continent. Apples to oranges, yadda yadda yadda. That's very irrelevant comparing what he's trying to compare. Usually LP does more than 1 USA tour for a CD, in fact they always have until ATS came along. Europe got two big ones is what he's saying when the US got one. Quote
Biel Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 The US got ONE tour for the whole album cycle. Europe got heaps of tours for the album. Asia, Australia and South America all got one tour as well. Europe had the most. So who is ungrateful here? Dude, in 11 years of the band, Linkin Park Played just 4 times on south american. and you guys have around 20-30 shows per album cycle, so what i should say about you saying it ? Quote
SFNL14 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Couldn't resist throwing those names in. Also why the fuck have they never had a tour to the North Pole? Isn't Santa good enough for LP?He gives them coals for not making albums faster Quote
SergSlim Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Why didn't ... Poland, Ukraine ... get a tour?Nice from you mentioning these countries. Quote

Mr X Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Nice from you mentioning these countries. Woudln't mind going to those countries myself Quote
RiderSSPU Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 did this come out today? or tomorrow? Quote
jtrainhunt07 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Hopefully we get some actual info from this interview than just the generic info that we usually get, like maybe specifics of what direction they are going. hopefully its better than ATS and hopefully the states get more than one tour. I understand that they just want to tour for a shorter time and then get back to the studio which is great, but I will be pissed if we get screwed out of a PR tour again. Im glad that they came to the states, but it would be nice to get more than one pass through Quote
RiderSSPU Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 If LP came to your state, and your complaining, you have no right to complain. During the ATS cycle, LP didn't even come to my state, and i really wanted to see them. In fact, LP never comes to my state during the Winter, never have before if I remember correctly, so count yourself lucky if they even came to you state, stop complaining and be grateful for what you got Quote
