The thing about the memorial show is that they were just picking singers who they were friends with, from bands Chester had toured with. They weren't necessarily picking the best singers in the world best suited for the songs. For example it was obvious Mark Hoppus wouldn't be good at What I've done but they picked him because they were friends with the band. The point of that concert was to pay respect to Chester, not to create the best sounding concert.

I don't understand the praise she gets for her screaming. The people who love her screaming must not listen to many other screamers in metal. Although there isn't much wrong with her singing for the most part.

I wonder what songs they will cut for the Download festival setlist. Their set is 1 hour 30 minutes whereas Wembley was around 1 hour 45 minutes.

I noticed many inappropriate comments on Facebook about Indians under this video. It is interesting how racism towards Indians is so acceptable.

But this is a band who also released cassette tapes. They like to cater to all formats, it would be hypocritical of them to say that DVD is no longer relevant. 4K blu ray is what collectors are mainly into now so if DVD is old then Blu ray's are too.

That is good compared to Ireland, 2 shows in total and one was just supporting. I think they did 5 or 6 tours of England/Scotland from 2001-2017 and never one indoor Irish show.

I don't know what age has got to do with it. People always say that, even Chester said that himself on twitter. You don't need to be 23 to be making nu-metal instrumentals. Maybe they mean that they don't want to write angry music? Well the lyrics from One More Light were about negative emotions. A song like Heavy is no different to something off Hybrid Theory lyrics/emotion wise.

I was tempted to order a cassette but decided not to as it is just a novelty. I haven't used a cassette since maybe 2004. I used VHS up until 2009, VHS was very useful for recording live TV and more reliable than the DVD recorder I had.

It is a complicated scenario, LP sell out arenas because of their legacy, the famous songs they recorded with Chester. Some people would argue that if Chester never had joined they would have only become a band the size of Three Days Grace or Papa Roach. Still I would rather see LP 2.0 headline than most other headliners you get at festivals nowadays.

I think I will just wait until the album releases until listening to it. The album is short enough as it is.

The song is decent but I don't like those rap verses. LP rap verses in the past usually would stick in your head and this one doesn't.

Aren't Korn the OG's of Nu Metal? Their first album was 1994. They also may have been the first metal band who didn't dress like typical metal bands.
