I don’t see how a PT song could have had a crazy high-noted vocal, atmospheric Program-esque (Meteora demo) clean riffs. Sure Mike’s raps and the octaves in the third verse sound like PT, but in my opinion that’s where the similarities end.

For me it’s Good Things Go. They’d make a great mistake if they don’t choose it as a single and make a proper music video for it. That song will blow off the charts.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the song and I don’t have any problem with it being a single. It’s just that the last two songs are very powerful and have that “classic LP sound” with the familiar vocal interplay with Mike. Personally, I would release it after the album’s out and instead release a hard-hitting rock song to minimize the controversy. I feel like a 2010-pop-rock sounding Emily-only song would just be a bigger bait for the casual listeners and doubters to say “see this isn’t LP.” With that said I hope you’re right and this will turn out to be another success.

I don’t understand this choice. I mean I like it personally but given how divisive the fanbase is now, wouldn’t it be wiser to wait for everyone to be more comfortable with the lineup before releasing songs like this as singles? I can totally see more hate coming but I hope I’m wrong.

Yeah silly me. Still I really hope he will show up just for TV appearances and promos. Miss seeing him with his headphone 😅

Didn’t he still travel with the band to help with setting up though? I thought I saw him in few photos behind the stage with Emily on instagram

I really hope Brad at least will show up for official TV appearances to play with the band. I mean touring is one thing, surely playing one or two songs shouldn’t be a problem for him.

I feel like it’s about the band’s expectation of the inevitable backlash from fans and music critics when they finally to reunite. Eventhough all they want to do is moving forward and be true to themselves, people will keep on shitting on them no matter what they do.

He just posted on his stories saying that if something were happen to him at the concert, it would be on Linkin Park. This is a major red flag.

Maybe it was a reworked demo from older sessions?

I’ve posted this in the forum before but I’m genuinely worried about the security of the band and the audience in this show. Regarding the backlash they’ve been receiving I’m a bit scared about the fact that Jaime Bennington (Chester’s oldest son) just got tickets to this show. We all know how unstable he is especially after the last few days. Check his instagram if you want to know more. Maybe I’m a bit paranoid but I think it’s fair to point this out.

Semi-related but I feel oddly worried about the band’s safety given the hate they are receiving. I know Chester’s son Jaime got 2 tickets to their 9/11 show and we all know how unstable he is. Only god knows what he’s scheming. Just digging through his Instagram and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
