JustinLydard Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 So, with the Honda Civic tour well under way, and after attending the (amazing) Bristow show (i know this matters to no one, but if you got the DSP, me and my little brother are the two weird looking dudes at the very front of the crowd shot), I realized that this whole medley & mashup thing is actually really cool, and a GREAT way to add other songs to setlists without dropping favorites. For example, for years now we've all wanted to see With You back in the set, and since they took three songs (LOATR, SOTD, Iridescent) and turned it into one giant ass medley, that cleared up alot of room on the setlist, and that pretty AWESOME! So... My question, what other mashup or medley could the band possibly do that would sound good and not disappoint fans? I honestly think they could do "What I've Done" and "New Divide". I get that they were HUGE singles for the band, but it's basically the same song, correct? I'm sure they guys could come up with an amazing way to combine the two. What all could you see them doing? Or would you like them to do? Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/9004-medleys-mashups/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftshoe18 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As you said, What I've Done/New Divide would work extremely well. A-Six into Lies, Greed, Misery would work if Brad didn't have to play the samples on LGM. I think that could be really cool. I'd also like to see the return of (or a new) hip-hop medley. Maybe they could play part of Fuse if they did this. Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/9004-medleys-mashups/#findComment-172731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_wil5on Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'd love to see some mash ups of the following: - In the End/Pushing Me Away/Powerless - One Step Closer/A Place for My Head - Easier to Run/Iridescent - Leave Out All the Rest/I'll Be Gone - Lying From You/And One/Pretend to Be (In Pieces) - Given Up/Victimized/QWERTY Essentially i could think of more but these songs are closely related to one another lyrics-wise I would say :3 Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/9004-medleys-mashups/#findComment-172734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I would really like to see a medley of WID/New Divide/BITS. That'd be epic. And also, I think that a medley of Papercut and Points would be epic, as well as a medley of LFY/FTI.

Aiman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Now that they're doing a LFY/Papercut medley, if they ever perform with Jay-Z again, I think it would be cool to incorporate Papercut into the DOYS/LFY mash-up (and maybe even Big Pimpin') that would be similar in style to Points/99/OSC.

Fuse live would be so trippy in 2012 I'd personally love to see an M2M medley of lesser played songs, something like Valentine's Day / In Pieces / The Little Things Give You Away (slow down the tempo on In Pieces, and right before the guitar solo break into the guitar solo of TLTGYA, it seems weird but could work in a weird way) Just a dream haha.

lgr Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Given Up into qwerty would work maybe on the 2nd chorus - "I've given-" and then just straight into the slams on the qwerty intro. would be a cool curveball Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/9004-medleys-mashups/#findComment-172765 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once LP stops playing Given Up in full, I will probably no longer buy tickets to see them live. It's my favorite live song by LP and no other songs can match the energy in a live setting. It's an amazing song. I would hate for that medley. Personally, I am not much of a fan of medleys in general, but I did like the LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent medley. The other ones on this tour are cool but I wouldn't want to keep them in the set.

Twiilite Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Honestly, I've recently been thinking something along the lines of Wretches And Kings/Victimized/QWERTY Shorten Wretches by playing verse/chorus 2/bridge/outro and then transition into the intro from Victimized. Maybe even make a "Blood, Anger, Suffering" 2.0. Then just play the rest of the mash-up as we've seen it before. Another thought I've had for the longest time is a Pushing Me Away medley. Start with the piano version, then bring out the guitar/drums/etc, and finish with a full restart into P5hng Me A*wy.

I don't think Given Up will ever get dropped. one of the few MTM tracks to not get dropped in fact to be honest if the band played a medley-full set I'd be kind of bummed out. yeah they're cool to see what the band would do, but I wouldn't want to have more than 2 in a set...

RogueSoul Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think instead of QWERTY, Given Up would go well with Victimized. At the spot where Victimized ends and QWERTY starts, start the bridge of Given Up (right before the first scream) Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/9004-medleys-mashups/#findComment-173013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProfessor Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I don't know why everyone is so against medleys. In fact, I'd go as far to say that it's ridiculous. If you see the verse, chorus, and bridge of most LP songs, you've pretty much seen all that the song has to offer anyway. If I get to see Papercut and Lying From You (albeit, shortened) I'd rather have the opportunity to see both songs than one or the other. If we got the opportunity to see songs like Blackout, In Pieces, Easier To Run, TLTGYA, and Figure.09 again in medley form... I'd rather see shortened versions than not seeing them at all... I don't understand why other people don't feel the same way when most of you have bitched endlessly about wanting to see these songs again anyway. I mean, take PR 04, besides fanboys who got on the train post-Meteora, a lot of people think this was the greatest set the band has ever played. (2012 may challenge that, but I'll stick to the point.) Step Up/Nobody's Listening/It's Goin Down (Hip-Hop Medley) was a prominent part of the set. That set would have been far less epic without that inclusion... Who the hell would've wanted to see one out of three as opposed to all three when we've all seen and heard them in full a million times anyway? Such backwards logic from this place sometimes...

Agreeeeeeeed!! The more songs they can fit into a set, the better! The most brilliant thing the band has ever done with ballads is mash them together in one 5 minute piece! Although of course certain songs need to be played in full to be properly enjoyed.

Outro I might try to make some studio versions of some of these (W&K/Vic/QWERTY, WID/ND/BITS, etc.) Only problem with that mashup is that while Given Up is played in Drop D Tuning, Faint is played in Db. Unless you'd want a long pause in between while Brad and Mike grab different guitars this wouldn't work out so well.
