one of the smallest locations in cologne. screw it, i will check them out and grab a few beers. it's a friday so a good party afterwards is on the list, too.

the preview DOES sound terrible IMO. deal with that opinion or get over it.

@vavouras the bands themselves have more influence on the ticket prizes than one might think.

wow, just watched it again after years and i have to ask: is this chesters best performance of any song ever? fuck, i'm amazed!

tickets will be expensive like always. lp are bitches when it comes to this. i would've travelled for them, but not if i have to pay 50+€ for each show.

well, after skipping the past tour i will attend the show in my hometown cologne. sounds like a "escape from the studio" tour. does not have to mean the new album is anywhere close, just remember japan 2006.

it's always hard to judge a bands live performance by it's recordings. if you are at the actual show the sound is great. though, singing mistakes are drowned in the wall of sound.

i liked it from the start but it's still growing. chester and brad's guitar are amazing.

1. No Roads Left - my favourtie lp song to-date. absolutely epic! 2. Across The Line - addictive beat, great transition, amazing vocals 3. Lockjaw - atmospheric in an almost HTEP-way with a nice delayed guitar melody /something many great bands use, but lp don't) 4. blackbirds - calming still very catchy tune. i love the vocals and the odd structure 5. not alone - chester's voice is pretty unique in that one. chill track ------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. new divide - cannot stand anything aside from the bridge

alles gute! man sieht sich bei den nächsten shows

just wanted to mention that i can't post while using firefox either. only "fast reply" works for me. it worked before though...

this is really cool, thank you . track is allright but the nostalgia is priceless!

wow, i feel ashamed how some people release their anger about whats wrong in the lp world on adam. im not following everything on here, still it is really immature to take him as a scapegoat just because his opinion differs from everyone elses here yet still is not less extreme. i keep asking me how so many people literally rip him apart and insult him while accepting the much bigger "douche" around all the time. sometimes i don't get you guys . on topic: i think as long as lplive gets credit it shouldn't be a problem. on the other hand, mark, you now got a glimpse on how it has to feel to write/record/release music today when you find your hard work all over the internet shortly after (or months before...) the release date. it's the world we live in these days. this is not meant to be an insult to you or anyone. just saying.

thx for the videos and your effort, ana. just one quick advice for future endeavors, you should either film/tape OR enjoy the show . it has a huge influence on the audio quality if you constantly sing along in all tones . aside from that good work!

there is so much truth in that in too many ways.

nah, don't be so hard with yourself. it was all a bit of a misunderstanding and the whole topic should get laid to rest. let's continue to be happy about the new shows those guys provided us. @michaelangelo i know about the problem concerning the person you mentioned but as i seem to be on the minority of people actually feeling offended by his behaviour there is not much we can do about that. as long as he can say what he wants in the harsh tone he actually uses about 90% of the time and gets away with it we can't do anything else but accept that while keeping on. don't let that affect your taping activities.

oh, and not to forget: thank you blackchester aswell as michaelangelo in the other topic. it's you guys who keep this site entertaining (along with all the productive staff members of course) and i really do worship your effort you put into taping AND sharing. great job!

well put, thank you!

i would bet on certain staff members taping a few shows but (like always) won't share them .

i hope everyone that goes enjoys themselves. have fun and rock out .

and i really really hope that happens! there is no other way bands will drop prices. i can just speak for the "e-werk" and IMO that one is too big (appr. 2000 people fit in there). there would've been alternatives like the "live music hall" (1000 people) or even my highly loved "underground" (about 500 people). the "e-werk" isn't even a club anymore.

i was on the edge of giving in and ordering a ticket for the cologne show... but then i saw the prices again and was like "yeah, screw you". it is a shame that a DBS show costs as much as the 30STM one with huge differences in popularity and (IMO) quality. they should've made a small club tour. that would've fit the band much more.

that's pure garbage actually. lp are slow workers. we have to accept that. i don't like the fact either, but what can i do? whatever mike actually said about the gap between new releases, it was clearly pointed at a new album as he was refering to their past releases. oh well! there are different kinds of bands. you got the "thrice" (released 3 full albums in 2 years plus a live dvd with 25 songs on it), you got the "30 seconds to mars" (4 years for their last album) and as an extreme "guns 'n roses"... not to mention that the recording time has no influence on the quality of the final product... i really hope everyone got that by now!

just stopping by to emphasize the i-dont-care-site of lplive. thanks
