LinkInThePark

I rather think that the other 4 guys will come over to FM, if they don't feel that they can continue under LP without Chester. With FM, Mike was always the 'lead' vocalist and it is possible that they think that this is the easier way. On the other hand you have 'Linkim Park', the name itself is legendary and do they really wanna set Linkin Park aside. They probably have a bigger support in terms of the amount of fans knowing Linkin Park better than Fort Minor

I think that fans will be happy to see them, no matter how many and what songs they play. I would not care what songs they play. I would be happy to see them play and perform again. It would be a whole different scenerio if Chester is with them and then they play just 16 songs or so. Now that they sadly lost him they must realize that they have to be happy that they even perform. I hope they continue !

So right. I still can't imagine that Chester wanted the other 5 to stop making music. But they need time to figure that out and need them to give them that time. Personally, I can see them making music with Mike as lead vocalist, he is capable of doing that. Performing live is a whole other scenario since they depend on Chester's voice.

Totally agree. I don't think Chester wanted Mike and rest if the guys to stop doing music. They have to do something. They have the talent ! But please take a break for 3/4 years.

So many question...it's tough. What wanted Chester for the rest of the guys? I can imagine that he wants the other 5 guys to continue and be free and continue making music. They can use their talent and luckly they have Mike, a now really good singer and rapper. I would not want to make such a decision...

The thing is that I don't want them to waste their talents...Of couse Mike could do his FM thing but what's with all these other guys? I know that this loss his hard but they still can write songs as 5....It is easy to write but technically they are capeable of doing it but it is a question whether they wanna do it or not.

This is so tough to answer. They can get a new singer, it could be OK for most of us fans but I don't know how that feels. They could go on as 5 making music in 4/5 years only with Mike as their lead singer. I know that this sounds crazy but we know how good Mike can be - One problem is that most of their songs were made for Chester and not for Mike. You cannot do this like A7X where they put a 10 second playback into their live set, because their former drummer is not there anymore. I don't see them 'breaking' up. This is not even the right term. They are not a built boyband, they are friends who know each other for their whole live. I'm really curious for their statement. I see them taking a long break for 2/3 years and then decide what to do.

Especially for those who never had the chance to see LP perform live - I feel sad for you. I had the chance to see them twice, in Cologne 2014 and Berlin 2015. Seeing him watching Mike at this FM show was great too. This is a legend in its own. He helped so many teenagers getting through bad days, depression and other bad things. His voice was so unique, smooth but at the same time we could see his pain in his voice, his anger. He helped so many bands to be what they are today. He will be remembered as one, if not the best, rock-vocalist of the new millennium with his unique style between screaming like a demon and singing like an angle ! Rest in peace Chester....

We have other problems right now....fucking Chester...

No Roads Left Step Up So Far Away

I agree, that's why I think that what he said is what he meant...If something bothers him he says it (Sometimes too often and he is like the Trump of Metal)

So wouldn't Chester. What is it then? Is it respect that either Chester or Corey would go and tell each other how much they hate each others songs? I mean, Corey is a very outspoken man. If he does not like something he says it. Of course it is a bit different here, because both played together for KOC not a long time ago so it does not have the same impact as it would have if Corey came out of nowhere.

Not the greatest thing to compare, since other acts like Katy Perry played there. We saw how much Spain fans appreciated LP at Download Madrid.

Most interesting thing on this picture: Linkin Park (Nu Metal)

Like what Metallica is doing right now in USA. Either 1 or 2 days between shows and you can keep your voice in good shape. And illnesses can happen to everyone, but when you are doing 3 shows in 4 days you can be healthy as fuck - thats definitely not good for his voice.

60.000-65.000 Also the Live 8 Show in Philadelphia was the biggest one in LP's history..

Said that earlier, but when fans bought so expensive tickets to go to Hellfest with Deep Purple, Aerosmith and LP as Headliners, who are far from Metal, then they cannot expect the heaviest at those concerts. I read a lot of complains not just about LP but about Aerosmith and Deep Purple as Headliners and if all the Metalheads really wanna spend what 180€ just to see all these "small" Heavy Metal bands than I lost my faith in this community A reaction would be, if the festival did not sell out and tons of ticket would be left, but somehow a lot of people will come to the festival, but it will be more than interesting to see how the crowd reacts.

Blink 182 is playing in July, weeks before LP's summer tour starts and we might not know every show for their asia tour in fall so they might have the same problem like they they had back in 2015, where shows were booked before Chester's incident happend.

And I thought that my eyes are fucked but I saw it correctly....this dude is crazy

They probably had a plan on why they played it twice...

Nobody Can Save Me

Probably the best beginning in recent years. They had a heavy beginning then followed by a soft/calm part and until the end they had a mix. They should have changed the medley with the new LOATR and it would be even better. I prefer this setlist, even with the shortened songs, over the setlist right know...
