Yup! Van Andel is my home away from home.

GRAND RAPIDS??? YOU MEAN THEY'RE COMING RIGHT FUCKING HERE??? DUDE I COULD CRY WHAT THE FUCK

Knotfest have me pretty much convinced this is going to result in a tour somehow here. They KEEP posting cryptically about bands reuniting and keep sharing shit about Linkin Park. Subtlety isn't their strongsuit.

I got SUPER into X-Men recently, a bit before Deadpool and Wolverine. Been chopping away at the classic Animated show for a while.

So this was what it was like back in the hayday. Can't say I'm surprised. A little frustrated, but excited for sure. This is going to be huge no matter what it is.

If this Ohio festival is coming and LP are attending, not a single thing on this planet is stopping me from going. With or without Chester this is my dream show, and being in the state RIGHT below me??? I wouldn't miss it for the world.

One thing I think, if they're going to continue and they DO move on with a female singer, they need to play to her strongest abilities for their first album. Show off what she does best and then show she can do it all through the live stuff before getting testy with it. That's just me, though.

At this point, I don't think it is. Lol.

Well, it might just be once more. One can only hope. Right now my hope is that, if they're touring again, they'll bring in some of the new stuff we've finally heard. Pictureboard, Friendly Fire, Lost, Fighting Myself. Some PT/In My Head/AO stuff maybe.

I can tell you from personal experience scream-singing. She doesn't seem to be having an issue. It's just HOW she screams. It ain't gonna sound the same as so-and-so, she just simply is herself.

I dunno man, the gravel's there. I think she could easily pull it off, especially with a little training and practice. The real question is can she keep it up over a nearly 2 hour set.

Okay, after taking a day or so to really process everything... I like it. I really do. Mike, Brad and Phoenix still want to play and tour and I'm very happy about that. Maybe this was that 'Mike and Friends' headline from a while back. Setting up tours without getting people crazy for LP's return. We can only theorize right now. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, either, especially if Mike's bringing any of the guys he toured with for Post Traumatic. All I ask is that they come to Detroit, lol. A female singer is a genius move to avoid that comparison we know they were worried over for so long. It's a great move and I'm interested to see who they bring in and what all she can do. Of course it'll feel weird without Chester, I can't see why it wouldn't. One thing though, I don't know if I want to see her doing ITE, Numb, Crawling or BTE. I ONLY say this because those songs, to me, are just... They're Chesters. I don't wanna see anyone do those instead of him, personally, unless it's the Hollywood Bowl/PT Tour variations of ITE and Numb where the crowd sings. Maybe do like they did for New Divide at the Hollywood Bowl for a song or two like BTH. Give the live crowds a chance to sing with Chaz again. That's just me. Now, as far as the other elephant in the room... Obviously it's sad that Joe and Rob might not be joining. At least not right away. But Joe seems content doing his own thing and Rob hates being in the public eye. I'm sure Rob would probably join them every now and again, same with Joe. TLTGYA is like Rob's baby, if they were to play that, you know they'd join him, and With You has a damn Mr, Hahn solo. You know he'd show if they were to play that. All in all, I'm excited. I just finished one dream show this year (Wrestlemania, babyyy!) I'd KILL to finish the other next year. I think this is an interesting new plan and I'll follow the band to the ends of the earth.

Class boredom does that to a guy! Lol

All of them, actually.

I know it wouldn't fit AT ALL, but I still think it'd be a fun little thing to hear regardless.
