If Rakim is gonna come out, it would probably be at the Brooklyn show, although I'm not attending that one, which sucks. Hahninator, can you post a pic of the merch from this tour please?

Yes.

Whatever LP says, I will believe. Because there is no way that a fan site can know every single show LP has ever played, especially from back in the old days of the HT era. We still don't know a lot from 2000, etc.

STP doesn't get in the way of LP at all so that really has nothing to do with it.

Loved reading this. Lots of really great info. Especially the part about how they are gearing up for the 7th album. Can't wait for this tour, it's gonna be 10x better than Carnivores for me.

Really? Every time the track starts to play I turn the shit up. I think anyone who is a fan of Rise Against would like the song War.

Chester actually just confirmed that LP is working on the 7th album right now in the new press conference he attended for the upcoming US tour. ''I’m kind of realizing that we aren’t the new guys and we’ve kind of graduated to being, like, veterans and almost to a certain degree, almost like a certain level of nostalgia, which is pretty cool to have lasted that long. We’ve released our sixth album and we’re preparing to work on our seventh album coming up here soon.'' SOURCE: http://www.altwire.net/2015/01/14/the-hunting-party-tour-press-conference/

I think War is too punk and hardcore for most LP fans liking. But I love it and I can't wait to see it live.

Given Up is definitely well known. It's a single with a physical release and music video and everything else. It's even charted. But yeah, what if it's White Noise???

The talking before Brad says ''put the heavy shit there'' definitely sounds like Rick to me. I only ever heard his voice in the making ofs but he sounds like the voice to me.

This pre-show post sucks.

That would be epic...

I was listening to THP in Apple Lossless today on my good speakers and I noticed that Rick's voice is heard at the interlude after All For Nothing. Listen very closely, it's definitely him. Interesting... wasn't Mike working with Rick in 2013 but then they decided to take the heavy route and they decided not to use him this time around? Maybe the interlude at the end of All For Nothing was a part of the stuff that Mike was making before he wanted to make a heavy album.

I guess we will see in 2 days or maybe sooner if we get a leak of the setlist or something. I wonder if they switched anything else up in the set. I know that Mike said they are only adding 1 new song to the setlist for this tour, but does that also mean songs from past albums and stuff, or does he mean new song as in from THP? It would be awesome to see maybe an old fan favorite brought back into the set for this tour. I think Tim will continue to do BIO with the band on this tour and a lot of the shows and I think that Austin will probably continue to do Faint at some shows with the band. Maybe Aaron Pauley will do the ballad medley again? Also, with the new video from Brad, he referred to this tour as the ''North American stop of The Hunting Party Tour''. So does that mean that ''The Hunting Party Tour'' will continue to Asia and or Australia later in the year? I think that we probably will not get another US tour this year or maybe for the rest of THP cycle, so I'm really pumped for this tour.

I love BID, but I could see why the band would be tired of it. I think a lot of the fans are tired of it as well. Maybe they should drop the song. Although, I thought it was cool that they opened with it essentially on the short holiday run last year.

Check the LPL Facebook. It's not 100% confirmed, I don't think, but Astat knows what he is talking about. Even though we basically know what the ''new song'' is, the good thing is also the fact that whatever the song is, it's going to a heavy song because they already play UIG and FM in the set, and the rest of the album is heavy. So it would either be KTTK, AFN, War, MTG or ALITS.

Yeah, you're probably right. Being the MTM enthusiast that I am, I said to Mike at the Holmdel Meet & Greet last year that I hope they never drop WID because it's my favorite LP song and he said ''I wouldn't ever worry about that one being dropped, we all like that song''. So I guess LP really does love playing those type of songs, stuff like ITE, Numb, BID, FM, etc.

Probably a back injury, or something. Because on Twitter back in August, someone asked him why they didn't play Given Up that night and he said something along the lines of ''I'm sorry we had to cut songs, I didn't feel well that night, I'm surprised I even performed''.

Pretty cool video. Is this the first time that LP ever public addressed the playing in India thing?

So LP just confirmed that they are adding a new song for the set on this tour. People have already figured out that the song is ''War''. I think Astat confirmed it. Pretty AWESOME huh? I love the song so I can't wait to see it performed live. I was hoping for Keys but War is fine with me.

Actually, ALITS is a metal song, I guess. Same goes for stuff like GATS and Rebellion, those are metal as well.

I just got my copy of the Mall DVD in the mail yesterday. I haven't watched the DVD yet. I wonder if they kept the vocal version of Dancer at the end of the film or they used the version included on the OST in the final DVD version.

Me too. Also, I think LP would be slaughtered if they played shit like Ballad Medley, COG, BID, Numb, FM, and stuff like that. They would need to bring a brand new set that was ''custom'' for Mayhem with a lot of heavy shit like APFMH, Don't Stay, Figure.09, FTI, NMS, Qwerty, Victimized, KTTK, ALITS, War, etc. to win over the crowd.

I'm really skeptical about the whole Mayhem thing. I honestly don't think LP would fit very well on that tour. I would definitely go and see them if they were to play on Mayhem, but I just think it doesn't sound like a tour that LP would do.

Anyone have an idea what album ''Luna'' was from? I thought it was from ATS but apparently no one ever said that it was, according to the working titles thread. I would assume either ATS or LT, right?
