The rumor about Amaru from the band Saliva is weird, like, he is good but would be the identikit of what Mike said he doesn't want, so...

Yeah. like, would be perfect for stuff like NMS or THP but yeah not so versatile

My dream

Don’t want to sound disrespectful but I am glad about that, he did pretty good on The Catalyst and Faint but he is the frontman of a really famous band and he mainly is a punk vocalist

At this point the risk of being let down by the announcement is pretty high if we expect album announcement + full tour.

If the new singer will be a woman I think Heavy will be on the set, so at least that one from OML will survive. I also see Invisible, GG, NCSM and SFN being there, and why not BS. It all depends on who is the new vocalist

Chill dude 😂😂

The only problem I could have is if the new single turns out to be a generic trendy pop song. I have nothing against it being pop, but it has to have a LP trademark in the sound, not being something like HE or MIUAIG. Like, I’d love something catchy but powerful, it’s the comeback of one of the most iconic bands of the last 25 years after a tragedy and a 7 years hiatus.

As someone who always loved Chester's side projects A LOT MORE than Mike's solo stuff (and even more than some LP stuff), taste is one thing, but say that LP is not LP without Chester is another thing completely and it's kinda wrong. We are probably facing a "rebuilding" of the band with at least 3 original members, one of them being Mike who has always been the core of LP creative decisions (no Mike = no ATS and no creative shift, pretty much) and probably the same spirit LP always had of reinventing themselves. Chester was the heart of LP and that phase will always be iconic but a new era with another singer still being LP is something I am totally on board with. Will I like the new music ? Maybe or maybe not, but I don't think they are not LP anymore, otherwise we would be faling in the same logic of people saying "it's not LP" at every new direction (MTM, ATS, OML...)

No way they are going to change the name, that name is a powerhouse brand since 2000 with like 10 billion streams on Spotify and 100 M copies sold and the creative core is still there

Totally in for a female vocalist who has the power to sing heavy stuff and capable of pop too. I absolutely don’t think we are getting a Chester clone and I think we are getting new music too, like, tour + at least a new song

BIO remixes EP by Steve Aoki coming August 31st, with 6 colored vynils.

If it's one out of 3, 4, 5 I'm hgonna scream like a kid on Christmas morning

Think that they have in store something for sure, like, they never built hype for nothing. There's also a new Deezer picture with only Mike Joe and Phoenix

This message + the rumors by various sites makes me seriously think...

Lol. But it's the same thing as OML debuting n.1 in the Rock Chart in 2017, WFT haha. Love the album but the only reason why it charted there is that it's a LP album ahaha

Yeah probably IIRC

Royals by Lorde won Best Rock at the EMAS or something like that... Royals... a ROCK song lol

I fucking love BTH instrumental, and I love hearing Resolution in Lost instrumental.

To be honest, it’d be so weird if they would play songs that have Chester on vocals that they never played with him before … like…FF with another vocalist or IBG or stuff like that …would make no sense to me.

I don't think it would be a problem for the singer of a relatively small band to leave it in favor of LP. Like, Amy Lee and Oli Sykes are frontmen of big bands but Saliva ... or other small bands

The live is great, I love it

When rumors intensify there must be something going on. All the rumors about HT20, M20, Papercuts were basically confirmed. About female singer: I’m ok with it, I get that choice would avoid comparisons with Chester. No hate at all but i strongly hope it’s not Hailey Williams. About Rob and Joe: I hope they’ll join the other members if the whole thing is true, but I’d be OK with someone taking their place, Rob is a really good drummer but you can replace him, same with Joe, especially live wise, as an art director he’s cool (videos visuals …) as of live shows it’s not impossible to find someone fill in for him. We’ll see

I mainly agree on this. Like, even tho it wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb like, say, on OML, I feel QWERTY is more nu metal-ish even in the studio form

I think QWERTY on MTM would have been kinda weird not because it heavy but because it’s nu metal, like, NMS is heavy but it’s a rock song. QWERTY would fit more on a record like THP, out of the non nu metal albums by the band. Certainly not on records like OML or ATS lol. LT maybe, considering there’s Victimized in there, and that record is a blend of “eras”
