LPoldie

Thanks @Shifter and @JZLP-Benningstrong Listening to instrumentals only is not the option. Its not her voice. I'm glad they found her. Its her presence on stage. Like doing a job. (And yes, I only saw her concerts on YT so far). But it's probably not about her but about me. And it's impossible not to compare, when you see the same songs now and then. LP for me was always not only about the sound but also the lyrics AND the impression that they became alive with Chester and Mike. A kind of therapy that brought me in at the beginning. LP has changed through the years, that's normal. Everyone does. And I will not stick to the "old days", I'm still fascinated to see what they do next, and I'm glad they found a way to go on. Maybe this is the best advice ever 😉. LP still exists without Chester but Mike is the engine, impossible to replace, that's sure. But I guess he can't be without making music. We'll see.

Hi there, I'm following LP for 25 years now. I'm sill missing Chester. Don't get me wrong, Emily is great. However Chester had a lot more intensity, was living the songs. When I see Emily, she's performing, doing, even great sometimes, with a bunch of new aspects, but I never saw her sweat or being exhausted like Chester. Any opinion to get me out?
