Well-said sir.

I don't get why Empty Spaces gets so much hate, yet nobody ever mentions Foreword in a negative light.

I'm sure you won't have to vote Pretend to Be much longer.

Pit is the way to go. You get right up next to the band and get to be right in the middle of all the mayhem. The best time I ever had at a concert was being in the pit at my first Korn show back in 2007 with a close second being the "lawn pit" at Mayhem three years later. Pits are freaking awesome! In contrast, I saw Nine Inch Nails and Three Days Grace from seats. It just doesn't have that same interaction that you get when you're in the pit. You can definitely notice things more and sit back and enjoy the music if you're into that when you're in the seat. I don't know the extent of LP's light show (never been to an LP show), but if that's a main attraction, go for the seats.

Too bad the only way to enter this contest would cause unending mockery from my friends. First because I add Internet Explorer and then because I tell them it's to get a trip to see Linkin Park. I guess I'm not entering...

Is that She Couldn't?

Jay-Z isn't going to appear at any shows becuase Mike didn't even know he was there.

The round is over: Pretend to Be 6 I Have Not Begun 9 QWERTY 1 Blackbirds 1 What We Don't Know 1 Despite vain attempts to keep it around by myself and LinkinParkFan4Ever, I Have Not Begun is eliminated. Here are the remaining songs: - She Couldn't - Dedicated - My December - QWERTY - No Roads Left - New Divide - Across the Line - Blackbirds - What We Don't Know - Pretend to Be I'm going to vote for Blackbirds.

I don't really count that as part of the song. lol

Don't take this the wrong way, but, what do you consider good lyrics? What makes them good in your opinion?

What demos do you like more than the finished versions? If you don't like a full demo, but like part of a demo better than the final song, tell us about that. I like the In the End and Crawling demos more than their finished counterparts. The verses on In the End's demo are much better-written in my opinion and the added rap segment on Crawling really adds to the song and I wish it was in the finished version.

^ I think that my favorite Disney princess is Cinderella. It was one of the first movies I remember and so I just like the movie and the character more than others. I completely disagree. Mike is the better songwriter and lyricist as well as being a more versatile instrumentalist. Just because Chester has a better voice, doesn't make him more talented. I take back what I said about Brad. Apparently he does a lot of work on structuring tracks and adjusting sounds and such. That is bringing something big to the band. Phoenix on the other hand...

Oh no you didn't just say that One Step Closer is a bad closer. Someone's in for a beating. jk

I wanna heal/I wanna feel/What I thought was never real I've become so numb I can't feel you there One minute you're on top/the next you're not/watch it drop etc, etc... the choruses are all filled with dumb rhyme schemes and cliche angsty lyrics. but if that's what you consider amazing lyrics, then I can't change your mind. though I may not agree with what you say, I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Meteora. All it is is Hybrid Theory Part II. Every other album has been a huge step into different territory. Also: Meteora has some of the most atrocious lyrics this side of Limp Bizkit.

It actually fits really well and adds a new dimension to Bleed it Out by adding in some actual singing.

This argument doesn't really work since you're saying they sound like a blend of artists or styles while the person you're replying to is stating that Robot Boy sounds too much like a specific artist.

My least favorites....let's see... 3. Somewhere I Belong: In the End's sonic cousin could have been so much better without that terrible chorus. 2. Numb: This is essentially Pushing Me Away part two. It sounds boring and recycled, plus the lyrics are pretty cliche sounding. 1. Valentine's Day: This song would have been great if it weren't for a certain set of lyrics near the end of the song. It completely ruins the song for me because they're so cringe-worthy. So, there's my bottom three. Thanks for reading.

I agree with the choice of In the End since it blends most of what the band is known for into one neat package. Another good choice would be Forgotten. It has some melody to it in the verses, get's heavy in the chorus, and contains rapping, singing, and screaming.

^ There's always going to be something for ungrateful Linkin Park fans to complain about. Nothing will ever be able to stop that.

I like this setlist so much that I don't even care that they aren't changing it. And I'm sure the people who are actually at the shows don't care either.

I decided not to start a new topic for this: Here's my Disc 2 for A Thousand Suns (with Disc 1 as the normal tracklist): 1. The Catalyst (King Fantastic Remix) [with transition into...] 2. The Catalyst (Does It Offend You, Yeah? Remix) 3. Waiting for the End (Glitch Mob Remix) 4. Wretches and Kings (HavocNdeeD Remix) 5. The Radiance 2.0 (Live) 6. The Messenger (For the Masses)

I want to be at this show but I have no money at the moment. I'll hopefully get enough money for Christmas to get myself a ticket.

OFF-TOPIC Does Linkin Park play to a click track? If they do, mixing video from several different shows would be doable to create a fan live dvd.

I don't think that it would really be possible to describe someone's life with a Linkin Park song. Most of the songs are pretty emotion-based and since nobody feels the same way all the time, you can't really describe your whole life with one emotion. I guess something like Hands Held High or No More Sorrow could describe someone better since they deal with political views, which are a lot more permanent. So, in short. I can't describe my life with just one Linkin Park song.
