My fingers are crossed for it to at least make most of the US Tour setlists. I'll keep buying overpriced tickets and sitting through singles till it happens, damnitt

Chester has a bad track record of collaborations not coming to fruition. Cool that we got the DJ Lethal track, but whatever happened to him covering "Head Like a Hole" with Korn?

I've listened to Melbourne a few times and LOVE hearing BITS & Blackout live, but definitely hope they fix the little things, like Mike's vocal effect on the first verse of BITS & Chester's forgotten lyrics in Blackout. Love the vocal effects Chaz uses on "Blackout". I hope both stick around for the US tour, too. I'll be pretty depressed if I have to sit through "Wisdom, Justice & Love" instead of "Blackout."

Picking a favorite Beatles song is like picking a favorite child. Impossible for me, and I'm not even one of their hardcore fans. I'd rather pick a favorite song by each band member, ie, "Something" is my fav George track, "Ballad of John & Yoko" is my fav John song, etc. Mike's choice is hard to argue with. Excellent song!

I don't see why LP need Warner, or any major label, at all at this point in their career. Time to go independent.

Thanks Narc! Great quality on the ATS debuts!

This x10000000000 Thanks for the killer "Blackout" video, Narc! Great quality! Hoping you'll upload "BITS" soon too

If the live tracks are mixed differently than the satellite (?) rip, cool

Love the gray/white/light shirt, just not sure about proclaiming "THERE IS NOTHING WITHOUT LP". Still better than that "funny" year of LPU I've blocked out of my brain permanently though. Hope to see some of these shirts in Boston!

I'd be surprised if "Wretches & Kings" or even "When They Come For Me" didn't make the cut as singles, considering they have the nu-metal rap 'n' rock vibe, albeit in a different way. For all the talk of "Iridescent" being a single, the first half is a snorefest and I don't see it holding the attention of the ADD generation of pop listeners.

I rate this tour as a sucess if only for the live debut of "Burning in the Skies" and "Black Out." I'm also one of the few (?) who loved BITS live. Not as "epic" as the album version but raw and different enough to be a great pay-off to a couple months of teasing it in the "Bleed it Out" bridge. Can't wait for the DSP's and of course the US tour!

Sorry to break the streak of "can I have the Mp3!?", but interesting timing on the chat, since it's exactly a month after LPUX "launched" for the pre-sale. In other words, if you signed up to buy tickets, your membership expired the day before Mike's chat. Killer marketing as usual by LP :-p

Possibly my favorite song on ATS, but not sure about it as a single. I feel like this one walks the line between pop and rock, but not as well as "Numb" or BTH, and might get lost in the shuffle between the two genres on the radio. I'd be surprised if "Wretches & Kings" or even "Blackout" don't do better as (potential) singles down the line, since they are more rock-y. Bottom line, if being a "single" gets BITS a permanent spot on the setlists, this is awesome

Good question! I can't wait to hear the debut of "Burning in the Skies" & "Blackout". Hopefully those will be out before the end of the year

Love that it was at least 5 minutes and covered alot of the European tour. The iTunes episodes and pre-Meteora LPTV's still reign supreme, but this was great.

My account expires tomorrow and I never even figured out how to login in to the site. You're welcome for the extra $$$ for pre-sale access, LP! I'm still trying to save up and get the annual pass to be eligible for the M&G in February. It'd be nice to know what our odds are of getting accepted. $60 is alot for a video chat when YouTube is free :-p

@MONDREUS240 they should retire "WJ&L" forever. Complete and utter waste of time.

Love the interludes, hate the speeches, and think the "live version" of Radiance should have made the album for sure.

Yeah the audio is from one of the Docklands shows in '01 I think. Amazing

Lots of unimpressed people as it relates to "Burning in the Skies", but hopefully that's just an internet thing, and it doesn't fall into the "Didn't Work Out Live" trash bin with QWERTY & In Pieces :-/ I liked it. Not as powerful as the album version, but that's what I love about LP. Their live sound is what makes me a fan and I love the rawness to some of their new stuff. So imperfect it's perfect. Don't do drugs.

Best show of 2010

This is as good as it gets for a LP set in 2010. If they're going to take out "Wisdom Justice & Love" & "Iridescent", "Blackout" & "BITS" are amazing substitutes. The MLK speech is the lowpoint of every DSP, in my opinion. Can't wait to hear the Pooh mixes of these songs, and hopefully they stick around for the US tour next year. Thanks for the vids!

Weird that they suddenly want nothing to do with T3 or any other movies. Paramore did a similar thing with the "Twilight" flicks.

I love ATS. Wish they had one "standard" rap/rock track, kind of like "QWERTY", because WaK seems like they wrote a chorus, 2 verses, then half-assed it for the last couple minutes. Strings would be cool but I dig the synth.
