Fleur de Lys

Shout out to Joe Hahn for his last-second save on In The End’s intro! So close to hitting that extra piano note 😅

Nope. The old band played arenas with very few exceptions. Amphitheatres in the US (less capacity than the Arena tour of 25). Never Wembley, never Stade de France, never Berlin Olympiastadion, not two stadiums in Sao Paulo.

Yes, I love that bridge! The heavy riffs and the screaming "Like thiiiiiis"

I kind of get the feeling that the song is about a life change, more specifically a graduation of some sorts. Which is kind of less heavy than what a majority is gonna assume hah “saying congratulations”, “terrified of what’s next”, the wild empty feeling of freedom/emptiness at the party: “20 hours no sleep/lying there on the street” “supposed to feel different, why do I feel the same”. Won’t let your friends fade no matter where life takes them. But ofc LP songs are very ambiguous so who really knows. Could be about Chester, could be multiple things.

I think it’s cool how LP manages to feel fresh this many albums in. The chords and melodies of this song is somewhere they’ve never really been before. It‘s a pretty original sound on this one… pretty experimental but still catchy and earnest. Probably one of my faves of From Zero as a whole

How the hell is Lying You From... Years and years of fan forum conditioning using these abbreviations don't go away easy. Getting out of hand lol

Show looked absolutely electric from that video. Band is tight af and Emily sounded amazing. The tight festival set might not be bad for a general audience, more bangers and less space in between the heavy stuff. Also, it’s fun to go to the Sonic Temple fb page and Reddit and find the LP posts. So many skeptics turned fans, saying best show of the festival, better than Metallica etc. They’re gonna blow people’s expectations completely on the upcoming festival run.

Maybe this set will have Let You Fade after release? And that’s why it’s so similar to the others at this point…

Yes, it's true. Alex palm mutes more than Brad did live on specific parts, maybe a little more than the studio versions too. I don't mind it for most songs, but on APFMH, it does sound kind of wrong. Tho I think he did ease off a little bit in recent performances, which is good, but it's still a little too much imo

Yes. He will probably play around with different stuff for that part from night to night

Did you guys notice that Mike played "One" by Metallica over the intro of Overflow? So cool! Love to see a little tribute

Hm? Can you point to specific parts? I would say the only difference between Brad and Alex on Papercut (and APFMH) is that he palm mutes more than Brad. Anyway, Alex is objectively a way tighter player than Brad was in his later years. Go watch the Birmingham 2017 show on YouTube, Brad is out of time large parts of the show. Seemed he cared less and less (he was a lot more in the pocket in the early years). If there's anything I'm having to get used to, it's Colin's more free approach to the drum parts. I think I appreciate Rob's playing more and more for LP, because he was so tight and true to the underlying programmed drums - giving LP more of that HipHop inspired feel to the rhythm section. Colin is more of a typical rock player imo

Some great screams on Given Up and Heavy Is The Crown at Tulsa (she did the full one)!

One thing I have been enjoying is actually Dave's playing. He is just doing more improvising, throwing in licks here and there. He didn't used to as much with the old band. You can tell that he is a real bass-player and not just a guitarist playing bass. It's not often you really get to hear that in LP (other than his solid technique), so it's really cool.

That's fair enough. I remember those mess-ups, some of them have been pretty loud and funny (infuriating for Mike, maybe). But if I was the musician, I just would not like if people were tracking my mistakes for years. I get that you've done it in the spirit of archiving as much data as possible, but it's just a little inconsistent considering how many small screw ups the rest of the band does. For instance, Colin missed a snare hit at the end of Faint yesterday too. Phoenix played extra notes on the first verse of Two Faced today. There'd be a lot to track. Also considering Joe might pretty much be personally responsible for setting LP 2.0 in motion 😅 We owe him alot, we should give the guy a break
