I would speculate that Joe‘s parts a sometimes more up front than a wall of guitar sound. For example: If Joes plays the Intro to Crawling, ITE or Numb wrong, you immediately recognize it. Perhaps playing a guitar part wrong for a split second gets mixed up in the whole sound production/wall. Therefore, that might not even be too „important“ Just speculation.

Especially the last few answers made me want to post something. It's pretty crazy what has been set up here with LinkinPedia etc. Especially when a lot of stuff are based on the work of our friend Nick. It needs people like him but also people from the LPL staff or us “normal” members who are here weekly if not daily. The way everyone here contributes to the development of something bigger than any one of us is something very special. It's really important to know where the roots of many LP related publications or background knowledge come from. In that sense. Let's continue to work together in this special community in his memory.

Don’t worry, they most likely won’t…it was similar in Hamburg where I went to see them. I was kinda surprised not getting blasted into the face with big sound. Especially when you are on the floor in front of the speakers.

So it will either be something like Lost or My December. Or they have a stripped down version version of one of the FZ songs (GTG).

Just. Great.

I have to say that the Lost bridge sounds great live. A lot of nostalgic feeling as I always see the Thoughts That Take Aways My Pride video when the bridge hits.

To be fair, that's the case for a lot of LP songs. While some work live others don't. They is so much stuff going on in those songs and they try to play everything live (Keys, synthy, guitar, bass etc.) and not run it from the playback. Therefore Mike is busy with playing a million instruments which influences his and the bands performance. Like, Overflow could be much sicker if he doesn't have to stick behind the keyboard and have to rap while playing keys.

Isn't it partly up to the band to throw their stuff into the batch and then see if it's getting nominated, if I remember correctly? As for TEM, I don't see why they shouldn't try it. It's probably the biggest new Rock song of 2024, isn't it? At some point it isn't always about the "best" artistical song that gets nominated and wins a grammy. A lot is about popularity. I mean, Metallica is getting nominated again and again and again and it is never like the best thing Metal has ever seen.

There is no way WFTE will be replaced when it is Mikes favourite LP song ever. As well as the most emotional song for Emily to perform.

Sadly I don't BID getting dropped ever again. It's just too big of a single. Same for TEM only that TEM is a better song imo. Just to throw a song into the batch. I'll Be Gone would be cool.

Damn Chester was on fire there!

Ok ok chill bro💀

To be honest. These instrument changes of the individual members (+Alex) during the live show are so awesome if you ask me. It's pretty badass of Collin to play guitar and then immediately switch to the drums. If we get another layer here and Alex plays drums while Colin plays guitar it would be wild.

Sorry, meant in addition to Queens of the Stone Age. And tbh QOTSA is quite an interesting choice, isn't it? I mean. They really went with the zeitgeist and put bands like Sleep Token, Spiritbox, Architects, Bad Omens on their shows. So I thought they would go for the same route here. Or if they go for a rather classic "older" act, a show with SOAD etc. would have been sick. But we never know what other bands are up to.
