Mike already confirmed the producer was NOT GOING TO BE Rick Rubin. Is it really that hard to figure out that this article is mistaken? And holy shit I love the confidence Chester. And they can back it up too.

I think overall ND was not as bad as it could have been for a first real performance. New Divide sounds like a pain to perform live vocally, and it can really only get better from here with experience. So I think overall that was definitely a hell of a show. Chester sounds better in the fan videos for Faint/Numb/ITE/BiO than he did in the pro-recorded DSPs of 07-08.

The band did a really good job with In The End and Bleed It Out. Chester was really on fire, the whole band killed it. New Divide, eh. I'll wait for the proshot. That video quality isn't quite as good as the other songs so I want to reserve complete judgement. EDIT: Numb sounded really good as well. This seems like it was an outstanding show with the exception of New Divide sounding average. But again I'll wait for the proshot for complete judgement.

Of course, it sucks. But this was first and foremost a movie premier and a celebrity event, so im not exactly surprised.

You dont honestly think LP had any control over venue seating do you?

Keep trying, it went down for a while for me too, but I can see it again now. Wait, if it wasn't Megan Fox then who was it?

Rob - Looks badass Brad - Sitting pretty Mike - BAMF hat Phoenix - Must not like Transformers.

They changed the setlist! LpLive goes wild. So much anticipation. Keep those updates comin.

Eh, with all the hype they gave this show the bad seating is really a buzzkill. But, it was free-admission, and it isn't under LP's control. Celebrities will be treated like celebrities. I say there needs to be a celebrity mosh-pit. It would make up for everything a bit.

Wow that latest update sucks. Who exactly is VIP? Are we talking like other celebrities?

And I thought Wolfmother disbanded.

Yeah, this must be the big announcement. Mike already knew about the show so they've been saving the announcement of this for a while.

Good lord calm down XD Anyone can win and go. But you have to pay for your own flight.

I think you are right.

ND? New Divide? If they were performing at the Transformers 2 premier how could it not be New Divide?

I think he's talking about Hahninator not Mr. Hahn

So I'm guessing it should be 4-8 songs? Wonder if they'll do New Divide.

No one has said that it is LPU Only, it only says that they want LPU'ers in SoCal to get a chance to go.

It's on the LPU right now, a short set at an undisclosed location.

Hopefully that changes soon. I know Mike has been talking about how the band wants to make a conscious effort to put more music out more often.

I understand being frustrated with some things, but the other poster said "They always dissappoint me." If Linkin Park ALWAYS disappoints him, then I really don't see why he would bother dealing with it anymore. Perhaps him saying that he is always disappointed was a bit of an overreaction.

I don't understand why you're here then. There are some people on here just like you, and I'm not saying you're bad for not liking things the band does, but why are you here?

I wouldn't say they always lie. I think they just kinda feel like interviews are silly. And what are you saying, the next LP album is gonna suck?

I have no problem with Mike not caring about the type of music he makes. He cares about making good music, that's what every great musician should worry about first and foremost. Though he was probably just giving a silly answer for an interview.

My gosh now I see why it took so long to come out. The visuals in the video are amazing.
