JZLP-Benningstrong Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Because they had to LOL Over the years, how has your live show evolved? We put a lot of work into our live show. In the beginning we only had one album that was less than 40 minutes long, and within the first nine months we were expected to play headline sets. Can you imagine? You’re expecting a band to play at least 60 minutes, and we didn’t even have 45. What did you do? We occasionally played a cover. We occasionally dicked around and made our songs longer. We talked a lot in between songs. Now we have the opposite problem, where we’ve got so many songs and it’s like how do we work it all into the set and make it interesting and keep the flow really nicely. These new sets are some of the most high-energy sets that we’ve played in like seven years. and by the way, Mike is really excited to play 'Until It Breaks' soon Pretty cool interview http://www.complex.com/music/2012/09/inter...n-park-fan-base Edited September 28, 2012 by LINKINJOZE Quote
Geki Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I can't wait to hear them play Until It Breaks. Cool interview, though. I don't really agree with that though, because on the MTM cycle they had tons of material to choose from and they still talked a lot during the set. Quote
SOHAIL_Lq Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah,when they talk I love it.Especially when chester says "Thankyou very much" after any song,crowd gives response,& I love it,I like both guys talking while playing songs,the best was "Bleed it out" projekt revolution Milton keynes 2008,& at intex osaka 2011,chester screamed 'osakaaa",then at that moment crowd's response was awesome. I'm waiting to hear brad's vocals live,I'd be awesome if they play it in future Quote
RogueSoul Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Didn't think they'd play UIB live (aside from WFTE). Can't wait to hear that. Quote
gorast Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 It's funny because even now they won't shut the fuck up sometimes. Old habits die hard and all that shit. I'd do anything to hear/see UIB live. Quote
lgr Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 full UIB and Roads Untravelled would make my day, that and Skin To Bone... Quote
Twiilite Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 full UIB and Roads Untravelled would make my day, that and Skin To Bone... Just throw all of Living Things onto a single setlist. THAT would make my day. Quote
RogueSoul Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 No one really cares about the main reason for the topic now. Just about UIB/RU live XD Quote
[AndOne] Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 That's not even a real reason, they are just lazy! Quote
Geki Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Hearing Powerless live would make my day.. Quote
Astat Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 ...Why do people always debate which songs from a new album "have no chance" of being played live when the touring cycle for said album still has close to a year left? If they can pull off all but one song from A Thousand Suns live, they can pull off Living Things live. I'm pretty confident the whole album's going to be played at SOME point. Quote

You think Skin To Bone will honestly be played live? Quote
RogueSoul Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 You think Skin To Bone will honestly be played live?If Until It Breaks can be played live, anything's possible. Quote
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 If Until It Breaks can be played live, anything's possible. Im with you man, im not really sure if Brad can handle his vocals, that would be very surprising to listen Quote
sckofelng Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) That's not even a real reason, they are just lazy! Thanks that someone says this. Absolutely THIS. No excuse for no entertaining crowd, there would be at least more than 50% more people jumping up and down during One Step Closer or With You for example if they animated the crowd more. That was the reason why the crowd at Rock Am Ring was not that great either. This and the fact that most people were there for Die Toten Hosen in total doesn't make me surprised about it afterwards.

I don't think that people don't jump around because the band isn't telling them to do so... lol Quote
lgr Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think that people don't jump around because the band isn't telling them to do so... lol indeed, ask anyone about how Uncasville was this year... Quote
sckofelng Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 US crowds are shit anyways, that's known for awhile now! I was much more talking about the European crowds... best example Rock Am Ring / Berlin / Maxidrom / St. Petersburg this year! Lisboa was a great audience in general, that's why LP didnt have to talk that much, but if they did, everyone, and I mean everyone in the first barricade wouldve jumped the fuck up during Runaway.

Lisboa was a great audience in general, that's why LP didnt have to talk that much, but if they did, everyone, and I mean everyone in the first barricade wouldve jumped the fuck up during Runaway.I really don't think so. People just standing around, holding their phones up, and record most of the show. Do you really except them to be like "oh my god, he just told me to jump around. I should better put my phone away and do this!". If people want to have a great time and go crazy, they'll do it no matter what the band is saying. Quote
RogueSoul Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 US crowds are shit anyways, that's known for awhile now!Lol they even called the crowd at the Carson show a "European Crowd" in the new LPTV Quote
[AndOne] Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 He meant that in terms of a lot of people standing, a big crowd. Quote
lgr Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Chester has said that he prefers EU crowds though... Radio 1 interview w/Nick Grimshaw back in '09. granted, he may have changed his mind since then Quote
