Still ruling after 4 years of inactivity. It’s pretty clear that now we can consider LP basically being in the Olympus of rock, beating legendary bands.

Rick is awesome, without him the band wouldn’t have grown to create such masterpiece like ATS, but when it comes to MTM, there’s always something that makes me feel bored by listening to it front to back, I don’t know the exact reason

Yeah 5 out of 6 members of the band are still there and they can do great things still honoring Chester’s memory and legacy. I don’t want to speak for Chester because who am I, but I’m pretty sure he would have never wanted LP to end with him. He was never that kind of egocentric frontman who thinks he’s the crucial member like “you’re nothing without me!”

Totally agree on this, it’s a new chapter and Mike stepped up as a singer a lot. I don’t want to write down set lists or stuff like that but we all know Mike can sing a lot of post Meteora songs on his own and the crowd can support him with classics like ITE, faint etc. The retirement of songs they can’t perform at all without Chester (BTH, BID, ND...) is not a problem, it’s a new phase

Yeah MTM and THP are the records where I’d have personally changed the tracklist order, no complaints obviously because I can listen to the songs in different order lol but with these two records I feel bored by the tracks order

Oh I can see it, but I was never big on the songs order on MTM, like the Valentine’s Day to LTGYA sequence, but it’s my own personal view

In my head GU and BIO should have been consecutive, LOATR between the 2 is quite weird, it’s like Victimized between COG and RU

Chester era ended that sad day I totally agree but despite the fact, as you know, that I am a big on Chester’s “side” meaning solo projects etc..., I agree that with things going back to normal they should make a decision, come back or stop making music as a band, but not stay in limbo for other years. As much as I hope they come back, I know it’ll be A LOT different than the Chester era, we all know that, it’s not gonna be the same, and I admit that i probably won’t be as excited for new music as I was with the 7 albums with Chester, but I’m definitely looking forward

Yeah I hope that too, I think we’re going to get news (good or bad I don’t know) in 2022😊

Same here, these are the only things hyping me up in the LP related world right now

Hum well, I don’t like Happy Endings and totally don’t care about these artsy projects, just not my thing, but I respect the fact that this is probably something he’s excited for and he’s willing to explore. So yeah, good only for him but I’m not complaining that much. There’s gonna be something exciting with LP somewhere in time

He seems a lot more interested in these new kind of projects than in creating music in a standard/usual way. If he’s more satisfied in this we’ll, good for him.

Yes man, they can’t make miracles or “add” vocals

He said they’re not reworking “bad quality” demos (paraphrasing him) so I guess you’re right about him not having the master tape and f these demos.

Oh my god I respect your opinion but LOATR to me is just Chester, it’s the perfect ballad

Yeah that’s true, it instantly reminded me of the “tremulo” on OML and the effects

I'm glad you like it man, matter of taste it's probably the 1st time we strongly disagree lol

Yeah I rewatched her part today, as I said in the shout box, all my respect to her but sounds totally off, she shouldn’t have been on the song, it’s like if Mike tried to sing Wastelands chorus ... "Rest" was OK, nothing i'll come back (or I never came back, referred to the HB version), but COG...

I like it a bit more (or dislike it less) than the studio version, she sounds more "natural" and less "super happy TikTok music"-esque live.It's good to see Mike on stage after nearly 2 years. Iann Dior looks like football player Justin Kluivert lol

Even more, I NEVER watched the full show front to back, i remember watching the whole show in pieces.

You are brave enough to watch the show, but I really feel uncomfortable. Mike shows ? Ok. LP old shows ? Ok (except for maybe OML or SE if I’m not in the right mood). But the bowl ...ehhh. Love the 5 of them sing in the first part, it’s a glimpse of the possible future, but the show is super sad, it instantly throws me into the July 20th mood.

Wow it’s the opposite for me. Julia was great, uplifting performance. Loved the way she asked to sing along for Chester.

Ehmm it’s exactly what I think but you expressed it in brutally honest words 😂with all the due respect for the person and the artist, I really didn’t like her COG exhibition and her overall performance. COG with just Mike like during the PT tour would have been A LOT better.

Yeah she said it, sweet 😊
