Funny you say that because I literally just messaged Mark like 10 minutes before you posted this saying that I think Primo sucks compared to I'll Be Gone!

I can definitely see Final Masquerade being played, especially because they are shooting a big music video for it and it's going to be the next single. POWERLESS was a single in Japan, yes, but I don't think it charted very well and I hardly call the music video for it an actual music video, is was more just to promote Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, if I'm not mistaken, the direction asked LP is he could use the song in the movie and they said yes and he met them somewhere while they were on their European tour and they filmed it. I definitely can see War being played live, I was a bit skeptical about it at first, but seeing as how they played VICTIMIZED back in 2012/2013, I can definitely see it. The song that I will say that I highly doubt they will ever play is probably Mark The Graves just because it's so experimental and I can't see it being very popular as a live song even though as a song it's fucking great. Keys To The Kingdom... Hmm. I think they will play this song, I HOPE they will play this song.. It just might sound a lot different than the studio version but oh well.

I think that as well, as do a lot of LP fans. Everyone has their own tastes in music.

Well what is Chester gonna say even if he didn't like their music? ''I think your music fucking sucks.''? He was asked if he liked DJ Lethal and Slipknot in the 2011 LPU Chat and he just said ''yeah they're awesome''. He might genuinely like their music, though, I'm not trying to judge anyone's taste here.

WTF lol War and Keys are great songs. Too much screaming for you to handle, huh?

He injured his back recently.

Tons of people including myself.

LIES GREED MISERY

Seeing as how poppy and radio friendly ''Until It's Gone'' sounded, I was sure that it would secure them a spot at #1. I think the the promotion this cycle was horrible, but maybe the band wanted it that way, didn't they say they wanted a different marketing campaign this time around?

I have the OSC instrumental.

Wastelands.

Kind of looks like a cool game TBH.

I understand where Astat was coming from in his post. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts, I still live here, and most of the people in my area in the local music scene are very snobbish in that regard and sure enough, they all go to Warped Tour and such every year. They either like the extremely heavy music in which you cannot understand the vocalist at all throughout the song with heavy distortion, or they like the bands that they think are indie or folk or whatever that are actually on a major label and play major festivals like Warped Tour. My very first memory of high school was the very first day and I wore a Linkin Park backpack to school (keep in mind this was 2004) and the first thing someone told me was ''Linkin Park sucks you faggot''. I would get picked on a lot for loving LP. LP was literally all I listened to for years so I guess I deserved it a bit, but still. I also got my very first job at my local Mall when I was 16 at a hat store called Lids. We were allowed to play our own music on a little boombox and I was playing Meteora on it one day and one of the girls from our local Hot Topic came down to my store and told me ''Chester sounds like he got kicked in the face and died''. People give me shit all the time for liking LP because they are ''mainstream'' or ''shit music'', etc and sure enough each one of those people listened to the kind of music I listed above and went to Warped each year.

If LP ever decided to stop touring someday and just write and release music like a lot of artists do, I could definitely see them doing Warped Tour. They could pretty much play whatever they want and just have fun. They wouldn't have to hire their own crew to set up stage, etc, because Warped does all that and stuff. I am really digging this Warped Tour show, a lot. It reminds me a lot of PR07 and PR08, so maybe it's just nostalgia kicking in, but PR07 was the first tour I ever went to and it was really fun, it was like this epic all day expierience with tons of people and bands and you could just have fun and enjoy it all.

Chester generally is sounding A+ with his screaming at recent shows.

I think if Projekt Revolution was still a thing every Summer, a lot of these bands and other bands similar to these would be on the tour. Back in 2007 and 2008 especially, a lot of the bands that were on the Revolution Stages were frequent ''Warped Tour'' bands and stuff. It's cool that LP got themselves exposed to this type of crowd, they haven't toured or played with these type of bands since 2008.

A Day To Remember were not part of Warped Tour this year at all either, according to Warped Tour's official website.

Actually, MGK wasn't even on Warped Tour this year.

I don't want to piss anyone off, but is it just me or does it seem like some of those people are kind of patronizing LP when they say things like ''Middle school flashback'' or ''I used to listen to LP when I was 10, so excited'' and stuff like that?

I have no choice but to applaud you for this.

Now I know why this show was just a big secret. This has to be one of the best LP shows of all so far. So many awesome guests...

Everywhere since 2007.

I really want to hear these 4 songs on an official release somehow. Either a Mall soundtrack or even LPU14, who cares. It's only 4 slots on the CD anyways and these sound good and would be cool to have, IMO. That leaves us with 6 other tracks that they could give us awesome demos.

Download is kind of irrelevant in terms of LP's touring in general. It was just one festival, LP still headlines tons of other festivals each year without playing Hybrid Theory in full. They also do their huge tours in the states that sell tons compared to a lot of US bands. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are definitely not what LP is mostly recognized for, especially not Meteora. Hybrid Theory, there is no doubt, but I wouldn't say it's all they are recognized for. At least in the states I know they have huge hits from other albums like Numb, What I've Done, Numb/Encore, Shadow Of The Day, Burn It Down, etc. Even if you just look at LP's sales from 2007 on, they still have sold exceptionally well and so haven't all of their tours since 2007 as well, it's not only the ''old LP'' that keeps them popular, not by a long shot. Compared to most bands since 2007, LP has sold tons. It's just not common at all anymore for band to even sell a million records for a rock album, it's unheard of for a rock band in recent years (since 2007) to sell 20 million albums off of one album. You can't compare sales using the year 2000 as an example since the music industry is much different now in recent years. Oh yeah and did I ever mention how much I loathe the fans or people that only listen to the ''old LP'' or nu-metal? I think I may have mentioned that before.

It's funny, but sometimes I actually miss the simplicity of old cell phones.
