To be honest, I don't see any of these instrumentals (Session, CFTI, etc.) to open up an encore. They created way more interesting and fitting encore openers. The way they open up the encore going into Papercut is the best thing they have created. As well as the intro. They have created some really great live interludes that are superior to those instrumentals.

Merci, thanks, grazie, obrigado, spasibo, Dankeschön for the hard work!

It's getting out of hand with those germany shows. Getting 5 stadium shows in 2025, 3 stadium shows in 2026 and 2 big festival shows. And I probably won't be at any of those show due to time limits rip.

Underestimated demand? Edit: So basically 1st Munich show sold out, Hamburg sold out, Madrid sold out, Lyon is sould out as well. June 12th Munich will be sold out by the time of the show as well as Vienna. Stockholm looks good as well. Another home run for LP. Surprised that even a stadium show in sweden sells really really good (most likely due to the fact that it will be the only nordic show and a lot of fans from denmark, finnland, norway will go there.

The absolutely crazy thing about this announcement is that LP don't even need an big opener to fill such stadiums in germany anymore

Yep, that’s normal for such an event. But it should be noticed that in contrast to this show, the LoL event was most likely a full live performance. Either Mike or Alex fucked the muting of their guitar up, therefore producing a high note.

I have seen far worse locations to be honest (excluding the travel to the venue and back to the hotel/airport/etc.)

Oh interesting, so they opted for the 15k right now? They probably can’t exactly see how big the demand will be, I guess.

Possible, especially since the ticket sale starts soon and don’t overlap with a possible RaR announcement (same situation as for the Hellfest show). Already see all the salty comments about Germany getting millions shows.

Sharing LPU codes is possible. You could ask some of the dudes here on LPL if they are ready to share it with you. Especially the US guys who probably won’t go to Europe for those shows.

I think we're at a point where it will be increasingly rare for LP to be at Rock am Ring. After Rock in Rio was as good as confirmed, I was thinking about a festival tour. But it looks like the band will stick to their line in Germany and concentrate on headlining shows. In Germany the band now has a cult status comparable to GnR, Metallica, etc.

Joe talking about new dates in Mexico as well as possible dates in Australia.

Few aspects I would point out. 1) Capacity for current US tour might be bigger but shows from Pittburgh till Kansas CIty are selling like ass and they reduced the capacity for some shows already (like they did in Tulsa) 2) There were a few glimpses here and there that LPs fanbase in South America grew bigger around 2017 (Stadium show in Peru) 3) Not the biggest of differences between 4 Arena shows in UK (2 London, 1 Manchester, 1 Birmingham) and one big stadium show in Wembley --> Similar capacities overall tbh. 4) Remember that back in 2014, they sold out all 9 arena shows in Germany and played 3 big shows in 2015. They could have played stadiums shows back then here in germany. Yet I agree that the current shows in Germany have a way higher capacity than those shows in 2014 (Somewhere around 140k in 2014 compared to 240k in 2025) They probably could have filled those stadiums in 2014-2017 but with a bigger support. Now they don't need to bring out Architects or Spiritbox to fill the european stadiums tbh.

Still think that it wasn't the brightest idea to pick that concert. They were just getting started. They are now in a way better chape and they have way more FZ songs in the set. They should have filmed Wembley instead. A lot of bands did that due to the legendary status that stadium has within the music scene. Way more appealing

Good Goodbye PS: Excluding anniversary releases like Fighting Myself etc.

Dude almost cried at the end 😂 dude looked into 10 dimensions at the same time

That interview is so chaotic that I had to stop at times lol

There is almost no difference between Mike and Brad. At least for a large amount of songs you cannot identify who came up with the guitar idea. That’s due to the simplicity of LPs guitar style. Remember a lot of guitar stuff off of THP even came from Mike. I guess something like POA, LFY, Forgotten, Don’t stay is something that Brad creates. Faints leads were created by Mike after he figured it out. we should exaggerate Brads role when it comes to creating guitar riffs. At least since ATS he was identified more than a guitar player and that’s why it’s good he continues.

Well Colin was with Mike for whole different reason: Producing. He met with him for production reasons. They produced a couple of songs for others and you can even find pictures of them from a couple of years. I guess then it was elevated to him vein with the other LP members.

Lol that one comment under the video is wild

Both have a similiar sound and feeling. That could happen at some point, yes.

Emily is basically sitting on the couch next to Joe

That is true and that was an anomaly for LP standards and you know it. And it is more for the rawness and heavyness of the songs instead of some random tremolo solo at the end of GATS.
