Living 40 minutes away from Düsseldorf, I can assure you it will be a VERY expensive summer for me! Thank god I saved up a good amount of money for this. Now need to get in shape to keep up with the travel.

Not necessarily...if anything they might come back especially because it was sold out....think as a business person who wants to make money (whoever is responsible for the tour, not LP)

obsessed with gtg, thats all I want to say now

Anyone got some inside info about any pop ups in Germany?

Some of y'all comments are highly parasocial and cringe. Look in the mirror.

Labels and publishers have expensive and powerfull frameworks to view and analyze real world engagement with artists. Not many people are talking about this outside of the industry. These tools include a BIG range of impulses, like mentions on social media(whatever it is, likes, @ mentions, videos containing an artist, followers, etc etc), these frameworks are usually connected worldwide to serious media broadcasters like radio stations to get reports who and when was played and the reach of the station, mentions by hard print media, mentions by TV....internal marketing efforts (for example if warner puts up a huge billboard somewhere, you can approximately say how many eyes it will get) and lots of other stuff that I can't come up with on the spot. In other words, they have good data to support decisions which might not seem obvious to us. Also, if nothing else applies, maybe they want to push their presence in the area for future returns, who knows.

May I please voice an uninformed speculation? I have a feeling (based on nothing) that Brad might have medical issue, like arthritis or maybe something like rheuma. Unfortunately that stuff is common with guitar players.

This was beautiful! After 7 years this show felt like closure and birth of something new yet familiar. I feel like I am finally ready to accept, to let go but never forget. Its incredible what some guys from USA can do to my fragile heart. I miss him so freaking much...its not healthy.

That's not really a relevation is it? I haven't read the book, but I caught up early on, that Brad is responsible for the business side of the band, like in '00s. It even starts really with his internship at Zomba I think??? Also in some documentaries it was mentioned a lot, even in frat party it hink they talk about it briefly. And if I was Mike, I'd be eternally thankful to brad for letting me be just creative and not making me obsess over business too much.

My only problem with HT is that they copy the beards, hair styles, brads headphones, clothing styles....its deeply creepy and cringy to me. If they had their own art style and did LP Covers, it would be (for me) something entirely else, but the way they do it now, impossible for me to watch and enojy.

I was thinking a bit...lets say they got some one or find someone relatively soon. Then they have about 2.5 years left (2,5 for writing/recording sessions and about 6 months for promotional compaign preparations) to figure out what to do next and record some new music to be just in time to return at the break anniversary.

A great female singer would be a great female singer, because great voice is unisex. There are several ways to make growlier songs possible, with backvocals as support, skipping singing altogether and letting the fans sing or other things that don't come to mind right now. Also I really wouldn't use the word replacement... Whoever comes in is supporting the band, nobody could or would replace Chester.

Official:

There is nobody else who hates giving out any concrete information, especially to fans, than Mike. He would go to the most random podcast and tell important things, things we always wanted to know, in passing, as if nothing happened. He is the last person I'd want a book from about LP, but if he did I'd probably read it.
