you are right and a smartass at the same time. people might've understood what i intended to say, anyway

great that MCR get a lot of attention now

it's quite unusual for a rock fan to not have heard of "dredg" actually. you really should check them out. i can't blame you for not knowing "middle class rut", though they have a realy dirty rock record out. they are just two people but sound massive!

aaaaaaaaaaawesome!!! immediately ordered my tickets! "dredg" and "middle class rut" + lp, well that's just fucking fantastic

yeeeeah, no! seriously, this crowd totally sucked! there was almost zero pit participation that i felt ashamed at times.next night in cologne was like attending a whole different concert.

i feel amazed. thx, for all your effort .

so, no torrent or other downloadable form?

thought about going, but 60€ is more than half of a great festival. so i will leave the attendance to those with too much money!

the support act is better than the actual headliner.

I'm a big fan of LP (insert whoever is responsible) ripping us of. happened with M2M and now again. well, have fun with your second ATS cd .

hype, meh! but good job on getting this show!

just out of curiosity: 3 weeks for the hyping purpose or other issues?

with the participation of "dredg" it might seem that i will attend the oberursel show. fucking amazing!!!

great input so far, thanks and keep it up! any great dsp versions of the song?

with december ahead of us, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. post your favourite "my december" live performances in this topic, please. really looking for great versions of this song. are there any amazing videos out BTW? I'm far from being an expert on this song unfortunately .

"pale" is SO good. the whole build up is god damn epic, so is the mood. "halo" on the other hand is so boring and not going anywhere.

+ the last race in indianopolis was a disaster...

"pale" because the build up and the mood are just epic. "halo" on the other hand is such a dull and generic piece of boredom... the second time this year where i can't understand the likings of the lp community (first one is "iridiscent"...)

i first heard of linkin park while chatting with some guy on napster. he asked me what bands i liked and i said "limp bizkit", so he immediatly recommended me linkin park's "one step closer". this was on the 25th of november 2000 at 9:13 pm to be exact . this song got me into this band at first listen and it was a funny version of the song actually. after the final chorus ended, the bridge started again so it was basicly extended and i always thought that this was the way it should be, until i saw the video for the first time in germany on the 4th of january 2001. this was the first time that i actually saw what the band looked like . this album will always be in a special place of my heart because it was a partner through my teenager years (i was 15 back then...) and it helped me to find many other new bands and extend my musical taste. i guess my favourite song from this album is "papercut". the second the beat starts it always gets me and the climax is one hell of an epic ending. i stumbled over this band while they became more well known in the US and i followed them when they started to take over the world. it was an amazing journey which i will never forget and it started with "hybrid theory". thank you linkin park

my gf is studying in cardiff for full season now. i plan to visit her next month . (off topic, i know )

whatever? i mean, his band got some really cool tunes, so why not enjoy those and give a fuck about what he says? i don't wanna be friends with ian, mainly i want to enjoy his bands music. plus, it's arguable if "his career" is undeserved or not. they got 4 albums out which are diverse to some extent and they know how to play a live show. what bothers me the most is what astat pointed out. someone bashes the favourite bands lead singer and everyone goes apeshit about it and starts to hate. childish.

it's funny that i'm with you on that one. i really like the lostprophets and their shows are far more fun than linkin park's from the point of actually HAVING active fun instead of standing around and wave hands in the air. there is not one album by them that i do not like and they were actually the first band i've ever seen live... opening for linkin park back in 2001. seriously, don't let your opinion about someone's music depend on what he says. you may dislike the actual person, but music should stand for itself.

anyone going to the cologne show? @jonas mayfield did open for emil bulls back in march at the colos-saal right?

sure, i hope i dont forget it. might take a few days because im out of town for now, but sure thing .

pretty funny when you think about it. i had 3 tickets for free from the lpu back in the day for the hamburg show. it was like my 4th concert (while i'm about to break the 100 this year) and i clearly remember the rowdy crowd but what made this night even more special was the meet and greet. it was backstage, really intimate, small and AFTER the show with the guys sitting behind the table and a line of people that was roughly 20 persons long. even the support act "emil bulls" were in this line. i got my hybrid theory tab book signed and remember phoenix (i think he was it) asking me if i could play all of those. mike was the last one at the table and he was fooling around with the rest of the band but when i stopped by i told him how much linkin park's music helped me and what it means to me. he became all serious immediately, shook my hand and thanked me. there is a photo of this handshake in existence on my harddrive and i have to smile everytime i look at it . those were the days.
