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.

With opening acts or co-headliners, isn't it more about the overall package than the question of whether this artist can generate similar demand as LP? It makes a difference if LP would play these shows on their own or if they take a better known supporter with them. Even if that supporter couldn't generate the demand that LP could on their own. I mean, look at the BlinkinPark shows. The package of LP, Blink, Wu Tang Clan and MGK certainly attracts more people than LP alone. Even if none of these other acts can generate as much demand as LP on their own. At least I would say so. That's why I was surprised that they didn't pick 1-2 additional acts for their stadium show in LA. I'm sure an attractive package here would sell a few more tickets and they wouldn't be struggling so much.

They put out the date lol. For me that's at least like a 50% announcement lol

As of right now there are no supporting acts for those shows, right?

There will be tons of legendary venues they are playing this year, damn. Wembley Stadium, Olympiastadion and now this. They could film all of those shows and release them. There is no way they will not film at least one of them and release them.

I wrote that some days ago in the shoutbox. The time period between like 2012 and 2017 felt off. They kinda lost their rhythm and did some weird stuff here and there. That whole Recharged time was like wtf is going on only to drop an Alt-Metal record in 2014. That setlist was so bad to be honest. I can probably speak for a lot of us when I say that we love good transitions or interludes in live shows but that was a mess. Creating a live set like a DJ Set didn't work. Those transitions they use in those 2024 shows are miles ahead of what they tried back then lol. Then the treatment THP got for their live shows was awful as well. Especially when you promote it as an "to be played live" Album big lol. We talked a lot how they probably weren't capeable of playing other songs or more songs off of THP. Either Chester couldn't do it (KTTK) or Brad and Rob getting injured due to playing ALITS (190 BPM pain...) and GATS. I mean, ok they play hundreds of shows but it was kinda sad seeing that downfall...

I mean, it would make sense. I would say that LP is one of if not the biggest rock band in Europe right now. They are so massive over here, it’s not even funny anymore 😂

Let's see if The Sun is right here and it's true. In any case, it's interesting. LP is in Europe in early summer but 2 later. I mean, flying to Munich and back to the USA for a 15-minute performance would be wild. They certainly won't be hanging around in Europe 2 weeks before the tour starts just for the halftime show. They have families etc. and every day with them is important. Especially when you're on tour a lot. I would be happy if they play there. They deserve that kind of attention.

Throw BIO as a closer out and put CTB in muhaaa 😂
