Nah, sorry to say but it is different from A7X. Everytime they play So Far Away it is really clear they are playing it for The Rev, the loss and respect for a fallen brother are truly present and often stated through Matt's words, in their expressions and with Rev's silhouette as background. Heck, I watched their show in May 2024 this year the crowd was still in tears, you could feel The Rev was there and felt so close to memory even 15 years later. Until now, everyone can still feel The Rev as part of the band while still respecting and completely adoring Brooks. I believe that does not downplay any of A7X's setlist or Brooks as their "new" drummer instead brings everyone closer. That is what I call moving forward gracefully while still honoring a departed bandmate. It feels warm, but with LP I am not sure what I feel. Frankly, it feels like Chester has been plucked out and he has "only" been gone for what, 7 years. Perhaps this is also why people are making a fuzz about lack of Chester's tribute and causing stronger resistance to Emily.
I strongly hope that it is simply just because people grieve differently.
