I'm not an artist, you are right. I probably can't say that I ever put any real effort in pursuing any artistic endeavor. But I'm the only one who can judge that, it's rude for you to assume that about me. I have a brain and I don't have an agenda or obvious prejudice about the topic. Police and art are antithetical, I know that for sure

I really don't understand why people think they can decide what is art and what is not. Whether people like it or not some real artists are using AI. If you don't like it then it's 100% ok if you do not support it. But to just label it as "not art" and the people involved as "not real artists" really feels like dogmatic thinking, far from the freedom of arts.

That doesn't sound like Mike at all. He's an artist he would never say something like that

Because Mike would not speak for Rob. Only Rob can really give the answers and if he doesn't feel like giving any explanation then it should be the end of the discussion.

I think they will change the setlist a little bit only when they get back to Europe. They will play in many countries they already visited last year so I expect them to add to the rotation 2/3 songs they haven't played with Em yet. Up until then it's all shows where they haven't played in a very long time or never so they might keep the 2025 setlist.

I love Paramore too but that means nothing so it's really dumb tbh. Hayley Williams is a phenomenal singer so Mike could ask her to try and sing UFTB in the same style of Emily and she's good enough to pull it off probably. But Emily and Hayley don't sing the same way at all. If Hayley would sing UFTB in her own way it wouldn't sound like the Linkin Park version. If Emily would sing a paramore song in a style that suits her best it would not sound like the Paramore song. Women singers don't sound all the same, just like men singers don't sound all the same. You wrote something like "Billie Joe Armstrong could sing Smells like teen spirit and it would sound the same as Kurt Cobain singing it".

I mean Up from the bottom has many flavours and punk is one of those (not necessarily in the front, but definitely in the background) but I doubt many people would make the connection to Paramore if it was sung by Chester. Alternative rock/punk is not just Paramore, hundreds of bands. Overall the song has almost all the traits that makes you think of Linkin Park. If UFTB was released by another band people would say they copied/tributed Linkin Park, certainly not Paramore.

Yeah you are right my bad they sound like Paramore, you know women...

I don't know what are you talking about. Is it something personal to you?

I don't understand this need to reference different artists/side projects when the song is like 100% linkin park. Just say you don't like linkin park, it's not a crime. You don't have to find wild reasons to justify the fact that you don't like it.

How is it too late when we are still in 2025 and we are talking about spring 2027? Digging for demos from 2005-2007 should be way easier for LP than digging for demos from 1998-2003.

Is that the format where Drummers play a song that they don't know?

The 4k upgrade for RTN was really necessary to see all the cameos in the background. I could tell Chester was the one hugging Mike when he enters the club but it's amazing to see him properly. And I can finally see Brad too. Where'd you go was upgraded from 720p to 1080p but it's ok because that definition is high enough to enjoy that video.

I still enjoy this EP a lot. It was disappointing to see most of the fanbase reacting cold to this project and mocking it just because of the titles in the tracklist. There's great music in there. It's crazy to see that Reorganized Mix and Nothing's There Mix have fewer streams than In My Head Slowed and Reverbed or Sped up. It's basically forgotten. I think this is easily the most underrated project of Mike's discography

Well he chose to diss Mike a little bit over a misunderstanding from 10 years ago. That's not what I would call mature. It's just his version of the story anyway so I wouldn't expect him to be impartial
