Fleur de Lys

Might have been a bad day, I think there was a very good connection with the fans to the shows I've been too.

@MrPool, It's not fair to compare the old shows to recordings from Rock In Rio, the audio mixing of those videos totally kills them, they suck ass. I hate that show. Now compare it to the videos I posted instead. I agree, they had more energy back then, but who can blame them? You see what happened to Chester from jumping down from risers for 10 years, and we don't want that do we? They ARE getting older, and that's just the way it is. Musically, I think they are a lot tighter now and the sound have improved at their shows. Saying the new shows suck is retarded. I even met LP haters, who admitted they kicked ass at festival shows last year. And are you basing your point on recordings? Did you go to any of the 2007-08 shows? Cause it's a lot different to just watch it on YouTube than to actually being there. If you go to a show, try to compare the overall energy, not only from the band but the whole thing, to other bands shows.

I have to agree with Lord_Arthas, Faint Rock Am Ring 2007 rocks. This is the best performance of Chester I've seen. He mixes rock 'n' roll vocals with metal vocals in the ending, I've never heard anything like it, it's sick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe7okyqG6zs Also, I love One Step Closer from the same concert, people go nuts. The band does an exelent performance. I love the bridge, with all the hands and Brads expression:

I think Fire will have a screaming chorus, or at least agressive vocals. It sounds like it, from the guitar.

Some other rapper is on there too. It's both Mike and someone else.

O2 Arena is going down. Edit: Or rather the company who arranged the 50 shows there.

Haha funny! Chester voice sounds absolutely perfect now. Good camera work though.

I'm sure he'll improve too, no question. But it's just that the songs he couldn't nail in the first place, never turned out too good, it got better but never perfect.

The performance of New Divide was better than I had expected, instrument-wise. I think they got very close to the album version, keeping in mind they used a lot of samples, but in terms of guitar sound and the sound of Mike's synth, they were spot on. I feared it would lack power because there is no rythm guitar on the song, but it certainly didn't. Chester was off most of the time and pretty much ruined the song for me. Not surprising. Only good thing is that he didn't have much trouble hitting the high note at "distance in your eyes", which I had expected he would. When I think about it, he usually sings better when he is allowed to force his throat to the top, so it's not that strange. Still, overall, his singing sucked. But he rocked on Bleed it Out, really awesome performance. He did well on Numb and Faint too.

I think you are overreacting when you're saying this is bad news. Wait and see. Mike has learned that shouldn't get our hopes too high, that's why he's saying it liket that. And I don't think lie is a very appropriate word for what they've been saying in interviews over the last decade. Believe me, I've been following them all the way too, and I have gotten dissapointed myself. But they've always told what they believed was the truth (release dates and delays for instance), so they've never been lying. And Astat, I think he is just pointing out their mistake, because you've been saying (which is true) that there is only one guitar in the mix and not a orchestration.

In The End had pretty cool CGI in my opinion. It dosn't even look outdated today, considering it was released in 2002, and it fits the song well.

Just because they will be playing with Chester on concert? Are you kidding me? Dead By Sunrise is a band, not Chester Bennington with random musicians. He wrote the "songs" - the melodies, but I'm sure the Julien K guys are not just in the background when it comes to how the songs actually ended up. They've had a huge impact.

It makes Rob and Chester look cool at least. I don't know why Brad has to look so stoned when he's performing nowadays. I was expecting more, I would have loved to see the flying bandmembers in the breakdown, but oh well. And people talking about a second non-movie cut, is this confirmed?

I think it's awesome, I love sex-lyrics.

Random facts has been forwarded.

Haha, you just reminded me that I have it on VHS, that's rare stuff!

Yeah, I'm not. I'm refering to the octaves being played all over the song, it sounds like guitar to me, not synth. But who knows.

Funny, I'm sure I can hear both a distorted guitar playing rythm and a guitar playing octaves.

I'm not asking for a heavy song either. I loved MtM. I just think that the verses are too poppy. Overall it's a pretty neat song. Can't wait to hear it live, I'm a bit sceptical of how it will sound, I'm not sure they can pull it off, but lets wait and see.

I don't like the verses, to much computer, I only like THE FACT that Mike's voice is doing so much harmony in the voices, keep doing that! I don't really like the guitar, to simplistic. Good things! I LOVE the breakdown, I hope Joe will be scratching it live, I don't know if that's possible. I love the way Chester sings: Across this new divide.

I know it's just one song, but that one song still has a direction. You can't just ignore this song and forgive it for being bad, just because it's for a movie. And every song you put out is a statement, if LP put out a song like this today, it might be a preperation for whats to come, even though I don't believe that.

I can hear it's not them for gods sake. I just said it sounded awesome, implying that it would be a nice direction for Linkin Park to go, compared to what I think of the direction it sounds like they have taken with New Divide. Sorry - Back on topic, just had to defend myself.

Yeah, me too. Man I really want to believe it's Mike and Chester singing! The two vocals in that song sounds awesome together.

Yeah, I'm very happy with that.

That really sounds like Chester? And Mike in the background? But I really can't believe it from what Talinda said on her blog. Hmm. Edit: Nah, can't be the same song. Sounds good though.
