No, you're a better fan when you realize you don't care for the song and choose to move on and listen to something else rather than talk about how it's "shit" here. I don't even know why you're complaining. You want people that don't bow down and praise "every song ever made", then don't come straight to an LP forum, attack something LP related, and expect to come out like everything is fine. You may as well jump into a lion's cage with raw meat and wonder why it's trying to attack you

I’ve enjoyed all their collabs with Steve. From what we can make out, this sounds like it’ll be great too.

I just realized Hole isn’t included in the album. I was really looking forward to that remix

I’ve had this thought on my mind for some time. It’s easy to put words in the mouth of a dead man. This interview alone makes it sound like Chester was tired of LP and slowly trying to drift to any other band to fill his rock needs

I personally love Out of Ashes. I’d be open to a reimagining of the tracks, but I think most of the album sounds perfect as it is

Wasn’t a fan of the original track (and really Grey Daze tbh), but I have to admit that it sounds A LOT better than this updated version. Not trying to bash anyone, but for a project that has been in the works for 2-3 years, I expected something better sounding, especially considering the resources they had at their disposal

It annoys me that she continues to use his last name. Like seriously lady? I understand the son stuff, but she's just gold digging her way through life and taking advantage of the fact that Chester isn't here to speak up

Hooked on the revamped version of Hole. I hope it hasn't been hugely altered since.

The change in lyrics could also come from the fact that the song was leaked a while back. It did seem as tho Garrix was upset by the leak and scrapped the initial single release. On one of his instagram streams he even said there was no point in releasing the track anymore. This change probably came from him wanting to give his fans a new and fully completed song as intended.

Crossing my fingers for a live debut of Promises I Can't Keep and Can't Hear You Now.

The WID scream was definitely sick, no complaint there, but idk, dude. I thought his screams were pretty terrible overall during the OML tour. Rather than the standard fry screams he pulled off, it sounded like he was struggling to control his vocals and it came out sounding like shrieking instead. I noticed the decline in 2015, but thought he was just having a couple bad screaming days. I do think he did an amazing job on the new songs (except for Battle Symphony) and he always shined on New Divide last year, but everything else seemed 50/50.

Exactly! Comic Con, 02 World, Red Bull Sound Space, Download fest, etc. I've seen LP perform 6 or 7 times and Chester was absolutely amazing at the 2014 Tinley Park show, best I'd seen him pull off.

I'm always confused when people say Chester's singing from the THP era was worse than the OML era. I always thought he did way better in 2014 (apart from his performances of New Divide). Is there some secret performance I missed out where Chester did absolutely terrible?

I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose close family and for me, listening to songs like this do help, but will often leave an ice cold sting, especially when you dwell on the past. Regardless, I'm glad you have a song that you can connect with. I have to say that Over Again is definitely my favorite out of the three as well. The theme of loss is prominent and speaks to us very clearly.

There’s one big thing Chester’s death opened me up to, and it was music as a whole. Since the day I first heard Linkin Park, they’ve always been the band I’d always go back to no matter what music would currently be influencing my life. With Chester gone, I have to accept that Linkin Park’s music won’t be the same again. Mike is a wonderful singer and can certainly keep LP’s spirit alive along with the rest of the guys, but Chester definitely left a void that one craves. Since his passing, I’ve decided to expand my pallet to other artists I never really listened to (Asking Alexandria, Two Door Cinema Club, AJR, Eminem, Phoenix, etc), and for the first time in my life, I feel like there will be a point in time where LP won’t be the band that is there for me, not because Chester is gone, but because it feels like the days will only get quieter for them. If and when LP returns with a new album, I’ll be there waiting with full support because these guys gave me a soundtrack to my life for over a decade, and that’s something I will never forget.

I also partake in the playing of the video games. Console gamer over here with current focus on my switch

Nobody Can Save Me seems to be a mash up of multiple performances. At 3:24, Chester sings "I don't wanna let you down, no I don't wanna let you". The "I don't wanna let you" is from the 02 London performance. He messes up the lyrics before that as well, but it's not included on the album version which definitely means they used different vocal takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRDEDAEmn-A

I thought Chester was really hit or miss this tour, but Amsterdam was great. He usually couldn't perform New Divide post LT touring cycle, but he nailed it here. Numb was also great considering how many times his voice cracked in the chorus at other shows this year. Everything from Amsterdam is clean. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performances they chose. Only things I would change is swapping the NCSM performance with the one from Berlin, WID's performance with the one from Rock Werchter, and use the Sharp Edges performance from 02 London, and LOATR with the Download fest Paris show or Las Vegas.

This sounds neat! Is it for a specific form of gaming?

Sorry, but you're wrong simply for the fact that everything released related to the band since his passing has been for Chester or in his honor - OML single - OML music video/Fan lyric video - One More Light fund and proceeds from charities provided for the fund - http://chester.linkinpark.com - Tribute Concert - Looking For An Answer - One More Light Live album - James Jean Tribute Art - Steve Aoki mixes - Carpool Karoke - #MakeChesterProud The list goes on. And just because something hasn't been released now doesn't mean it won't released in the future. One day at a time.

This live performance utilized a dsp recording of Heavy so it’ll probably be close enough to this with a bit of a different mix

Sharp Edges and Nobody Can Save me in pro audio quality!

Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, lol. Tried giving it another shot and she just didn't cut it for me one bit.

Just wanted to share my two cents about the show. Intro tracks were great. Mike really did a great job and Joe was awesome for backup vocals. Never been a huge fan of Roads Untraveled, but this easily shows that they should have played it live during the LT touring cycle. Gavin Rossdale left my mouth wide fucking open. What an amazing take on LOATR. I would absolutely love this in studio quality. That being said, best performance of the night, imo. Really didn't like Taka on SIB. Super whiny, and messed up the lyrics a bunch. Alanis Morissette and Castle of Glass is just a no. That rendition was weird, and Alanis just looked bored out of her mind, I mean is she performing or trying to hold her hip in place? Mike, Steven, and Jon did absolutely wonderful on Nobody Can Save. Definitely one of the more bittersweet moments of the show. Ilsey Juber was meh on Sharp Edges. Did not like her on TTM, she sounds awkward on the chorus. I like Julia Michaels, but her singing was pretty off putting on Heavy. She kept cutting off a lot of the sentences short with quick breathing in between and it just did not work for her one bit. Kiiara was great as always. Seems like she tried singing it the way she always did with Chester, but Julia wouldn't really allow for that. OML/LFAA were beautiful. Simple as that. Makes me wish I could thank Mike for the many years of amazing music. Oli sounds great on the cam quality of Crawling. Love the fan interaction. Gave me a Chester vibe. Wish we just got the proper audio for the show. Jeremy killing it on APFMH. Definitely came and owned it. Best Rebellion to date. Everything was perfect about it, especially the final chorus, absolutely nailed it! Deryck was fantastic on The Catalyst. The minute Mike announced him, I knew that was gonna work perfectly and he did not disappoint. Man, none of those performances would have made me tear up except for New Divide. Seeing them perform with Chester helping in some form just breaks me. Thinking about it just gets to me. Overall, it was a decent show. I want the band to keep playing and will support them if they stay as a 5 piece band, but this really did show how important Chester was and how no one really filled his shoes in perfectly. Some more than others. And despite me not liking all the acts, I still respect them for coming out to perform for a great cause and great man.

This. I'll admit, Oli was pretty meh at singing when they first started touring for That's The Spirit, and even the melodic stuff for Sempiternal, but he's gotten way better since then. If Oli can perform something like Doomed or Drown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGc9W-_C9u0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mobbPE8_Npc then he can definitely handle something from most of LP's discography.
