Yeah! Although I was far from hardcore - I was just getting into the band, being still a kid after all. But I remember spending days on fan sites (mostly Bulgarian ones), remember listening to CC for the first time, remember The Rising Tied coming out and asking people to download it for me because I had terrible connection, things like that. And, of course, the MTM anticipation, which will always be memorable to me, as it was the first real album I was waiting for. And it's still my favorite Linkin Park record. Whether it is for its quality or for the memories it brings, I don't know, but damn, those were the times!

It was 2003 and I was 8-9 years old. We all had mobile phones that could share files and play MIDI's. We were pretty crazy about it - every kid used to have like 200 MIDI songs on their phone. So I really digged In The End, Faint and Numb. Naturally, when I got an Internet connection at home, one of the first things I did was to check Linkin Park. Been following the band ever since.

Wow, I thought I didn't remember a noob LP moment, but you reminded me of something similar. Back in like 2004 (being 10 years old), I remember watching some videos from Live in Texas and thinking that the black-haired vocalist is a different guy from the blond Chester I knew. Damn, I feel like a thousand years have passed since then.

I don't think that LP would incorrectly call it Apaches intro. Maybe Apaches was the demo title for UIB, as well? After they combined the three demos, they might have not called the song Until It Break from the very beginning, but rather call it Apaches until they figured out a name.

Isn't there a mistake at the beginning of Three Band Terror? At about 0:07 I hear a falsely played tone.

1. No More Sorrow 2. Papercut 3. Given Up 4. With You 5. Faint 6. QWERTY 7. Lost in The Echo 8. What I've Done 9. No Roads Left 10. Numb 11. Breaking The Habit 12. Waiting For The End 13. The Catalyst 14. LP6 Lead Single 15. Castle of Glass 16. Burn It Down 17. In The End 18. Bleed It Out -------------------------- 19. Forgotten 20. A Place For My Head 21. One Step Closer Something nice for the shows before LP6 comes out. Not gonna happen - I doubt whether they'd open with No More Sorrow again. Or play it in any form, in fact. The encore is something they're unlikely to even consider. And yeah, No Roads Left and QWERTY should be replaced with New Divide and Lying From You to make it more realistic, but it becomes too ordinary.

How big are the arenas STPWCB tour? And how big are they compared to the places STP usually tour?

Although I'm technically one of those '10 years old or younger guys' (damn, I was born a few months after Purple's release), I love STP. I'm really into grunge, so I'm quite fond of their earlier stuff. I'm still to hear some of their records, but I've played Core and Purple a lot. And I liked their 2010 record, even though I was not really aware of the band back then and it was actually the first album of theirs I heard. So with that said - I really dig the idea of Chester fronting a band like this. However, as they are really not one of my most favorite bands, I can't really say I'm interested in their shows. I don't really care about setlists - Linkin Park is the only band that I'd check the way their tour goes, and I listen to so many bands, with some of them - as much as LP, or even more. But that's just me - I think it's nice to cover the tour on LPLive. Keeps things interesting and maybe even brings some STP fans on board.

Where did this come from?

Okay, it's over now. Here's the top four: 1. A Place For My Head 2. Castle of Glass 3. Papercut 4. Blackout We should have a similar game when next album drops.

Okay, time for the last round. It's been a fun game. Third Place Match Papercut 1:0 Blackout Final A Place For My Head 0:1 Castle of Glass

A Place For My Head 6:3 Papercut Blackout 4:5 Castle of Glass

Yeah, I also thought about suggesting this idea. With You 3:5 Blackout

Yeah, went to a Bloodhound Gang show and didn't use my PC for a couple of days. Still no people to vote for the tie, though.

Quarter-finals 1) Carousel 0:1 Papercut 2) And One 0:1 Castle of Glass 3) Blackout 0:1 With You 4) A Place For My Head 1:0 QWERTY The round will end on Monday evening.

Lol, yeah. I never seem to use my pc when there aren't any draws, dammit.

Okay, waiting for someone to vote for the only tie this round and posting the next one. 1) Qwerty 5:5 The Catalyst

I've always thought we'd get Pictureboard by Mike randomly leaking it somewhere. Like he did with Remember The Name a while ago. But, of course, this may take some more years.

This. Not that I didn't vote against some of my all time favorites - With You and Iridescent, but all the songs left are pretty strong and, unfortunately, some have to go.

Okay, eighth-finals! Eighth-finals 1) QWERTY 0:1 The Catalyst 2) Castle of Glass 1:0 Iridescent 3) One Step Closer 1:0 Blackout 4) With You 0:1 No Roads Left 5) Carousel 0:1 Waiting For The End 6) When They Come For Me 0:1 Papercut 7) New Divide 0:1 And One 8) Leave Out All The Rest 0:1 A Place For My Head This round will end on Saturday evening (European time). Woah, some pretty difficult choices here. Just as statistics - we've got 2 HTEP songs, 4 HT songs. 2 MTM songs (counting NRL), 5 ATS songs, 1 LT song and 2 non-album songs. No Meteora.

Bleed It Out for sure.

Yeah, but this way we can have three semifinals, which means we won't have a final match. Anyway, I'm changing my votes for the four ties, meaning that the songs I voted against continue to the 1/16-finals. Fuck my opinion, the game has to go on. 16-finals 1) Waiting For The End 1:0 Points of Authority 2) A Place For My Head 1:0 Numb 3) Iridescent 1:0 Figure.09 4) Valentine's Day 0:1 Papercut 5) Blackout 0:1 Shadow of the Day 6) Carousel 0:1 In The End 7) Step Up 0:1 New Divide 8) Castle of Glass 1:0 No More Sorrow 9) Wretches and Kings 0:1 QWERTY 10) And One 0:1 What I've Done 11) With You 1:0 From The Inside 12) Lost in the Echo 0:1 No Roads Left 13) The Catalyst 1:0 Until It Breaks 14) One Step Closer 1:0 Robot Boy 15) Pushing Me Away 0:1 Leave Out All The Rest 16) When They Come For Me 0:1 In Pieces This round will end on Thursday evening (European time). The most hilarious part from the first round, imo, is Carousel (a song Linkin Park never played live, at least to our knowledge) beating Burn It Down (their biggest single in the past few years, a song that really got HUGE) 10:0. Wow.

Well, I'm going to set a time limit next round. The time limit for this one was yesterday (although I forgot to mention it ), but every time I get online, an even number of people has voted and there are some ties. That's why I said the next one to vote is going to be the last one.

Okay, waiting for one last person to vote. Since this may take a while, here's the deal. If you're not willing to vote for 32 matches, you can only vote for the few ties we have: 1) When They Come For Me 5:5 The Little Things Give You Away 5) And One 5:5 Breaking The Habit 24) Roads Untraveled 5:5 New Divide 27) Until It Breaks 5:5 By Myself Of course, if you want to, feel free to vote for all the matches.

Well, I remember the song elections, but I guess I missed this. But yeah, they're always fun. So, user #3 copies @Castle of Glass' post and changes it with his results. User #4 copies #3's post and so on. By the way, in case of two people posting at the same time (not very likely, but still possible), the second one has to change his results according to the first one's. If he fails to do that, the third one should copy the first one's votes - he was faster, he deserves it.
