It's also, like, everyone on this site is constantly ganging up on me for my opinion and stuff. You're right, I do spend too much time on this site. But I thought having a long break and coming back would change me, it didn't, I'm still the same person. This super long wait for the new music on top of the whole SJW thing from the band members this past year, and the fact that the band is making some Justin Bieber style pop album have really killed it for me.

Have you listened to what anyone said in this thread? How can you know what the album will sound like, have you heard it? You just keep complaining about something that "you don't care about" and you should be called out for it. It's getting really tiresome. I like your passion, but you are all over the place.

It was commissioned by WB Australia, no actual involvement from the band as far as I know. It was originally released on minutestomidnight.com.au (which was the official Australian website for the new album at the time). I seem to remember there being a bit of a viral marketing thing leading up to its release too.

 

WB's Australian division has been kind of weird about some of LP's promotion stuff in the past. They blocked the release of the DSPs of the '07 Australia/New Zealand shows for years because they were convinced making them available would somehow harm album sales. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't think the original music video was marketable and decided to make their own.

Very interesting. I can safely tell you, however, that every tv show that played music video's showed the regular What I've Done video - and was extremely popular.

Actually auburntiger is completely right. You can't just expect other people to buy a show (but not contribute yourself) and then complain that no one has bought it yet. Either be patient and wait until someone does, or buy it yourself. Simple.

holy shit Watercolour is AWESOME. downloading all sorts of CDs by Pendulum immediately.

If you could send me the info I would be really grateful, as I only saw the first 10 minutes

Yeh thanks for the videos Narc, good to relive what I had just seen

Yeh true that. It looked pretty full.

But Blackbirds also got played on Australian radio, and that wasn't a single was it?

im going! heard tonight's show hasn't sold very well - so if i end up at the front again, hopefully there won't be as many douchebags in the crowd as there was in second row last night. will let you all know the setlist via twitter once again

I thought this was the show that had sold out?

Small world, that was me that asked for him to play it! I was keen on getting up there and doing it with him. I remember someone asked him to play hands held high one concert and he did so I was hoping that he could do it accapella.

He seemed like a really cool dude! My heart nearly had a heart attack when he said about the fan asking him!

That's awesome! It was pretty cool how Mike stayed and chatted after all the other band memebers had left.

Someone in the meet and greet asked Mike to do High Voltage, but he said that might be hard to add in somewhere. Instead, Reading My Eyes verse 1 was over the intro to Bleed It Out

Yeh I'm going! And thinking of asking to play faint in the meet and greet lol.

My favourite moment would had to have been Papercut in Melbourne on the second show.

This is where Chester broke his arm/wrist and it was badass how he kept the show going without leaving for a hospital.

I hope this album is in the same vein as "White Pony" by Deftones.

I would have liked to see Terry Date produce the next album.

Very impressed with that performance. I'm loving Elias' work too.
