  1. Lockjaw is freaking awesome. It's my favorite LP instrumental.
  2. Oh please god, let this be true. But I already have Guns n roses and Download in June.... Whoa, what a month that would be if LP played... hopefully not on a day that would clash!
  3. It's interesting that the other band members don't have writing credit.... Wasn't it Joe that suggested female vocals? That's kinda writing credit in a way, since they went with that. Curious out the writing credits for the rest of the songs are, seems like half the band may of been locked out of this process in favour of bringing in other songwriters. Also the vocals seemed to be recorded all over the place, perhaps down to this new process with other writers, LP travelled around to different locations more to work with different people.
  4. I'm wanting an LP tattoo, but too many damn logos haha
  5. I liked Heavy from the piano intro.... but I'm already thinking that this song is likely to be over produced, particularly with Kiirra's vocals which are autotuned to hell in her music. It sounded so much nicer on piano than on synth, but we shall see in a few days when we have everything all together. Damn I am hyped!!!!
  6. Eh..... my least favorite album cover, I really hope the album is not called One Moral.... that sounds crazy.... I heard that being suggested over a week ago and I remember thinking, haha that person is crazy it won't have such a stupid sounding name. But I couldn't really care, it's the music that matters and it's so close! If we have the cover, why haven't they given us a release date and name??? Hmm.
  7. Yea.. I am guessing so, considering that in the 2nd video they appear to be talking about the album as a whole and not anything to do with a single.
  8. It's all part of the art for me, I love it, this teaser is so haunting and they are not over doing it at all, they only started teasing yesterday and today we have a clip and looks like every day we will get a clip then a song. That's pretty awesome to me. The hype has been entirely from the fans until this point from the little information we have had. The anticipation is part of the reward. We wait so long for new albums, it's nice to know it's coming, rather than just oh here it is, like it feel out of the sky. I prefer the hype to randomly logging onto the internet one day and finding a band I like just released and I missed it.
  9. What the hell is this?? Piano??? This is not Rock... were is the Hybrid Theory music!!!! No guitars!!! Come on!!! I am never listening to another Linkin Park song again, I am going to burn all my linkin park stuff, they sold out.... this is POP music... how dare they not make another album like Hybrid Theory and Meteora, I am disgusted..... p.s this is amazing and haunting.... love it, love the type of the video. This is an amazing piece of hype.
  10. Have you guys read through her twitter page? She is like a 13 year old Emo kid.
  11. LPU 8 was the only decent LPU they have really done. At least they put some effort into giving us something, the other stuff is just random demos they have around... I mean it's interesting to hear once from a fan perspective, but it's LPU 8 that's really worth something, it's good fun! This was my first thought when I saw the image haha!
  12. No early entry ??? That's recasting ... that's the best perk.... is this so they can sell expensive VIP tickets instead to there shows?
  13. Does the poster also suggest that 140 groupies will be appearing at the festival? I'm there
  14. So is this a fan made poster or an early draft of the real poster? The two are quite different.
  15. True. But Andy who books the festival loves them and has also said previously that they sell a lot of day tickets vs other bands, as people are loyal to the Download brand, most people go there every year regardless of the lineup, so booking LP is a great way to get extra ticket sales via day tickets. However, the counter argument is, that there are so many bands in Europe and possibilities this year, that these three headline slots are more competitive than I have ever seen it in my 10 years of going to Download. Having played more than most other bands and played fairly recently it wouldn't be seen as a good booking by the Download faithful. It would make more sense for them playing at the Paris one as this is a new festival and I suppose the band and management already have a relationship with the Download brand. Although yet another counter argument to that, is Andy has said that Download Paris is booked by the Live nation France team and has nothing to do with him, so the booking teams are separate, he has maintained saying this, this year. So while they might be some cross over it's not 100% Plus a lot of the expansion of the Download brand is down to Live nations purchase of Festival Republic, who run Reading and Leeds, after this purchase Live Nation put them in charge of the Download brand and all of Live nations festivals, which is why your seeing it branch to Paris and Madrid. So heck, maybe they could play Reading and Leeds instead? Do we have confirmation of what day they are playing though? Couldn't they just play on a different day? There is a still a day free, if they were to play three dates in a row. Rammstein did that this year. They played Download UK, Download Paris and Pinkpop which were all happening the same weekend. Unlike LP to do this, but who knows?
  16. Whoa... seems like this is true. But this would be an odd booking as Download Paris and Hellfest directly compete. Download Paris being in it's second year it's trying to latch onto some of the success Hellfest has had in France, Hellfest has become huge with a lot of people from the UK going, even going instead of the Download in the UK despite language difficulties, french people and massive travel times.
  17. I would expect Metallica to be doing Euro festivals as well as they always come over here and play almost nonstop since they need the money. With a new album, they have got to be pretty big contenders for the final slot at Rock AM ring too?
  18. Guns n Roses are very heavily expected to be playing Download Festival here in the UK alongside System of a Down, so is this European Stadium tour now something they are doing instead of this? As this has been rumored for a very long time as being next year, even before the comeback shows in the US were announced. Because before that I would have said it was pretty certain it was going to be GNR for that other slot and they were just waiting for the GNR to announce all the dates. Also I would expect they want a really big name with weaker headliners like that. Also just throwing this out there... didn't LP subheadline to System fairly recently? I've been to 10 Download festivals so far and I love it... but to be honest I would much prefer an LP headline tour. It's just better indoors with more hardcore than casual fans, atmosphere is just way better, I love festivals but it's more about the experience a s whole and as LP are my favorite band, I prefer to experience them at there own shows.
  19. Worth stating that this is US only.
  20. Hmm, I wouldn't call the first Fort Minor song and amazing shows in a long time, nothing. Pretty happy with this for an "off" year. Next year we have a new album.
  21. Because this is great news for future LP stuff. STP sucks and hardly anyone cares about them and that's why Chester left. To concentrate on bigger and better things.
  22. This is fantastic news!!! Finally. This lasted a lot longer than it should have.
  23. So umm excellent show and all... But I arrive back at my hotel at 2am only to find there is an issue with my booking and they have rebooked me in at a hostel, however that hostel doesn't allow you to check in after midnight. So I am currently sitting in a random dark hotel conference room (where they have allowed me to take refuge) listening to fort minor at 3am. Interesting times.
  24. Yea I understand, Just I watched the LA show a lot to get me hyped up for the London show and kinda sad to not be getting that as it was much more than I was expecting! Oh well, I am sure when you are there, you will barely notice due to being more interested in the atmosphere!
