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.

Damn, they did develop A LOT of the song in one day. This doesn't seem very usual for LP, taking many many many days to create a song.

Emily "You Know" Armstrong

Damn, where's the "Rapology" hunters to help find those rap battle boards?

Colin is the idea that "reading and immersing into worlds so my mind allows me to escape any prison"

You were unecessarely passive-agressive even though you are wrong. Stranger correctly pointed out a continuity error on the video, as Mike shouldnt't be with the guitar at 2:17.

So weird. A new Linkin Park song was released and there's less tan 20 comments on this thread. We really start to take things for granted, right? it's inevitable.

Damn, North American sales must be going pretty bad. They are doing a offer right now, random seat tickets for $39,50. Meanwhile in Brazil the cheapest ticket is 500 bucks and LPU Pit ticket is the same of 1 month minimum wage salary.

Mike really is crafting for unique bridges.

Brazil got 3 confirmed venues so far. Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Brasilia. Porto Alegre has been removed most likely. So frustrating, it was the one i was able to go to.

Damn, now i'm scared they'll cut off the one i was ready to go. Already had assigned my vacations for november. This means tickets will be avaiable next thursday already?

Yeah, it's def out there in medium quality. This one really feels like old Paramore, i guess. The bridge is twenty one pilots as fuck, veeeery cool. Could've been on the album, it's a "firecracker" sound. New songs released every 3 months? Count me in!

Great finding

Band had released THP First single title is: HEAVY Then it had Kiiara on it. Could've been better with just Chester. Wouldn't make it good, but less bad i guess. I remember vividly in this album cycle Mike posting on instagram that he wanted to make lots of plot twists with this release. We wanted the fans with the surprised pikachu face. He specifically made an analogy to the expectation of opening a pokeball on pokemon go. So i guess all those "surprises" of not being heavy and going for a pop side were very very very intentional, but backfired. They thought Sorry For Now was going to be THE GREATEST LINKIN PARK SONG EVER, because it's supposed to be so unique. But the production choices were already outdated by the time the song was released.
