  1. All of that is very appropriate.
  2. Don't really feel that way. Mike bouncing back was good to see, and the shows were amazing. The setlists having so many deep cuts and changing so much were a total blast to follow. Well in his shoes if every single press interview wants to ask you 100 questions about Chester and the whole world is assuming songs you write are about him, but they aren't, you wouldn't feel slightly defensive about it? That's what Looking For An Answer is, from the Hollywood Bowl. And they originally intended to finish and release it, but it just didn't happen.
  3. Summer Sonic 2006 may be the most wanted thing currently in terms of live footage for the band. Not sure if there is something bigger on the list. If they do an MTM 20 box set, that one needs to be on it.
  4. We have definitely shared with the LP team many times that the demand for live shows is very big with the fans and that we fully support and advocate strongly for as many live releases as they can do. Of course it's a balancing act with the label, upcoming releases, highlighting past releases, etc, but Mike said he would want to do ATS 20... which gives us faith they will continue the box sets.
  5. The Guardian has posted a new interview with Linkin Park, featuring commentary from Mike and Emily. The article is a bit messy with factual information at times, but there are a few highlights: -Mike, on the current success: "This tour and this album are one of our most successful of all time. That, for me, is insane. That is way beyond my hopes and dreams for what this whole thing could be.” -Emily on fans singing songs like Crawling during the shows: "There’s so many fans that have been wanting to see Linkin Park for so long, you know? So I look at it as: this is your moment to sing. And you sing it better than I do at this point!" -On the Post Traumatic era: Shinoda partly “wanted to make Post Traumatic as a diary of how I felt for myself”, but also had the urge to play live “to provide an area for fans to commune and go: ‘Oh, Mike is still here. We didn’t lose everybody.’” The Post Traumatic tour was cathartic “in the beginning”, he says. “And then towards the end it was exhausting. I had started to … I don’t want to say move on. ‘Move on’ to some people means not looking back and forgetting – that’s completely not how I felt. I felt like I was coping well and I was able to get up in the morning and not think about it, and I was evolving from the terrible stuff that had happened. Then I would go to the show and spend 90 minutes with half the crowd crying. And I’m like, this is fucking exhausting. You know how therapists see patients all day and help them, but then they need therapy themselves? That’s how I felt.” -On "Let You Fade": Many interpreted Let You Fade, a bonus track on From Zero’s deluxe edition, as a tribute to the singer, but “it wasn’t written that way,” says Shinoda. “People even pulled out the fact that there’s numbers in the song [that align with] Chester’s birthday. I was like: whoops. That’s not intentional.” -On "One More Light" being played live: Mike: "I think we all wanted our show to be really good vibes. I want you walking away feeling like, this was such a wonderful, special, fun night.” Inevitably, this means certain songs are off the setlist. There are a couple that Shinoda would “feel weird playing”, including One More Light, the title track of the band’s last album with Bennington. It was originally written “for a woman at the label that we worked with who passed away. Then after Chester passed, the world decided that it was about him. And so that’s just too sad to play.”
  6. This is simply great. There is such a demand for this type of stuff with the LP fans which is why the box sets have done so great. Could watch performances like this over and over again from any part of LP's career. Grateful Pinkpop released this. Some rare stuff in this proshot. It happens where not every song was recorded, this was still 2007 and even bands themselves were not quite to the point where they were archiving every show they played in full yet either. But it's right before that started happening across the board. Chester is rocking here, and celebrating that is what is important. Always a great performer. Badass show.
  7. That massively sped up Crawling has to be one of the worst-sounding things they have ever done live. The 2014 setlists were a total mess with the shortened DJ-style songs. Goodness. Why in the world would you speed the song up that much?

  9. This is great, thanks for sharing. We'll wait until it's actually about to start to promote it - we don't want the label taking it down suddenly beforehand.
  10. Version 2 https://mailchi.mp/lplive/lplive-messenger-issue-2-july-2025 More coming!
  11. Wow, thought Moscow Intro was cool on Cut the Bridge in London as a plot twist. Both the intro and the CTB intro are clap-worthy moments for the crowd so it worked to me.
  12. Looks like a good day for From the Inside!
  13. Well they have to rotate the songs around, surely they play Good Things Go or Over Each Other tonight haha
  14. These videos are absolutely ridiculously good. Fantastic sound and video angles. Damn. The band is sounding very good right now.
  15. Linkin Park has officially rescheduled their show in Bern, Switzerland, moving it to Zurich due to scheduling conflicts and tacking it on to the end of the 2026 summer tour. The band will perform at Stadion Letzigrund, making it their first-ever Swiss stadium show. The band's statement reads: "To our friends in Switzerland, we are so excited to come back and play Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich next summer on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. We hoped to be able to play in Bern as we had to postpone the show there this year, but unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts, Zurich was our best option to ensure we could still come play for you in Switzerland. Fans who purchased tickets to the June 20th show in Bern will receive an email with refund instructions from Ticketmaster or Ticketcorner. Please refer to the FAQ page below for detailed information, as refund instructions vary. Bern ticket holders will have access to a priority presale for tickets to the show in Zurich. We truly appreciate those of you that traveled to Bern and hope to see you in Zurich on June 30, 2026. For more information, visit the FAQ page: http://lprk.co/BernFAQ"
  16. Tremendous show and the mix is badass. They are firing on all cylinders.
  17. I am jealous that this show will have the closed roof and full production. With two sets, it's going to be awesome. I had the choice between this and Wembley and picked Wembley, but Frankfurt will really be good.
  18. Linkin Park's 2025 From Zero World Tour continues through Nickelsdorf, Hradec Králové and Hanover after a stop in Munich for the UEFA Champions League Final Pepsi Kick Off Show.
  19. It's kind of weird there is no official set time publicly posted for them at this right? 12:15am to...? lol LP has had some huge shows in Poland over time, especially in 2014. Hope it's a great one.
  20. They streamed the first 3 songs. They are on the schedule, yes.
  21. Deftones just NOW confirmed they are being streamed, they walk on in a few minutes.
  22. Bothers us too, and every time we try to make some progress on ti we hit a dead end. We'll convene with @SerioDrew and see if we can think of anything else.
  23. No festival stream for this is a total shame. Damn.
  24. Cut the Bridge isn't in every setlist yet, right? Just a few headline shows in a row? Let's see what happens - it may become a staple. Not saying you are WRONG - just hesitant to call it a staple yet unless you think I am truly wrong. What do you think? Also of note, JPEGMAFIA canceled their appearance today at the show.
