And here i am losing my mind having to plan a birthday party for 15 people.

Meaning a sequel to QWERTY.

Oh nice, really want to hear his opinion on how AI will affect the music industry.

At the day when From Zero 20th arrives, we will know.

oh, yeah, makes sense. Forgot about the intro hahahah

Album was supposed to be 10 songs. I guess they felt something missing and created IGYEIH last minute.

The band just posted a nice short backstage video on instagram. The feeling of that week is something i won't feel ever again, the hype on the day is unmatched, waiting for the stream and all of that. When Em started to sing i instantly thought: Yeah, she is and feels Linkin Park. This is Linkin Park. Even though Emptiness Machine didn't felt special at first, it didn't catch me instantly. I loved all of it, didn't even notice at the time the voice cracks or stuff like that, didn't mind at all. It was an emocional experience, not a technical one. So many people messaging me that usually didn't, old friends and such, cause i am know by them as the "linkin park guy". One of the greatest emotions/feelings of my life. And i tried to be rational about it, is it right to feel so much for a band? But i can't help myself, it's a part of who i am.

Yes, it's all on LinkinPedia's WYD page.

There was also a nice and fun interview with Mike and Emily uploaded yesterday.

these dates are so spaced out, why? 11 days for 3 concerts.

is there a real reason why many many artists don't consider Australia when going on a World Tour?

Dman, i loved her in the first livestream. Even with all the slips and cracks, i felt every emotion, i really felt like she IS linkin park in the first 5 minutes listening the stream. So sad for people judgning only by pitch perfection or things like that. Music is much more about emotions.

Emily did the full 16second scream on HITC! First time? Even in the proshot LP posted months ago it was cut short at 13s

That's very odd. Usually people are so friendly and you can even make a lot of friends right there, talk to people, have a good time together with strangers.

Yep, the OML cycle was probably too emotional and disturbed to the band. Seems like 2016 was an awful year for Chester right when the album was being produced. Probably too many memories attached to those songs.

Weirdest thing is they just not replacing, as they did many times, if the one sick is Joe/Colin/Alex/Phoenix. Their technicians usually know how to play the whole set too.

No Colin and Joe in this one. Who is the one in the back at 0:34?

Mike is very very very hypocritical in his sayings against pop music.

I guess the backstage was a bit too serious, not having enough funny moments. Looking back to those concerts you kinda feel the band taking it all too professionally, focused "on the job" itself. Maybe it was the overall reception of the album, the intense criticism, Chester answering back and switching between "fuck you come fight me" and "we have to love each other" moments.

In this gap dates i bet there's also some brand collab or something, like the LOL Worlds or the Champions League. Football World Cup 2026 will take place between june 11 and july 19h, so we can cross off LP being involved in it's opening as it was being rumored.

I remember even in Brazil in 2012 they had problems filling small venues in some cities. They played two 7k arena dates in Rio de Janeiro. It was supposed to have a stadium concert in Curitiba that was cancelled (same place they will play soon november 5th). Porto Alegre one was going to be in a 20k stadium too and was changed to a 10k ginasium (most Curitiba fans went to Porto Alegre). Only São Paulo one was 27k in a 32k location

Didn't their Live 8 concert had millions of watchers too? But i guess it was around 30 million or something like that

LP was always too humble. They could have portrayed themselves as very big eccentric artists, with pop appealing gimmicks, and fill stadiums all around the world. But they always felt too much like "regular dad dudes playing music" and way too much down to earth.

Which one was the the last hip-hop based song LP released?

Feels like Emily came way later in the process too. Colin was involved many months before.
