I started this topic because I wanted to know what songs you listen to when you feel like listening to a heavy LP song. It is pretty obvious to think that they don't make a lot of heavy songs and I agree with that. There are plenty of other bands who are heavier. My point was seeing if there are other heavy songs by the band I'm overlooking.
What do you consider the heaviest songs of the band? They could be demos, live performed songs, covers or just album cuts. And why? For example: Wish, A Place for My Head (Live in Texas), Part of Me demo...
Ofcourse they claim to be satisfied with Living Things. It's the Living Things promotion cycle, you can't bash the album you're promoting. Maybe they'll shed some light about the negative sides of LT (for example, what I feel, the sense of rush of the recording sessions and superficiality of the album) when they promote LP6.
I think because playing it live would make it sound different. The same reason why LP never played Robot Boy. Because it's hard to get the texture good.
It was. You can hear Japan being recorded in the making of Minutes to Midnight.

1) Check out the Third Encore Session from AOL.
2) I think you're referring to the solo's? Mike recorded most of the guitar parts of A Thousand Suns and Living Things, so perhaps that's why.
Instead of the blur at the end, Tak takes a heel jump. I don't know if you call it this, but he jumps and clicks his heels. There are some more skulls I think. That's the only thing I can come up with now. I used to watch it on the MTV site of one of the Scandinavian countries but don't know which one it was anymore.
Like the Third Encore Sessions before Minutes to Midnight came out.
Mike: "Oh, there is one thing you should know. You're singing more of a "ERPPP"."
Chester: "We're building it ERRRRPPP."
Mike: "That'll help."
And don't forget that Chester is essential to Linkin Park. He's their signature. Linkin Park without Chester sounds like something (-one) is missing. It also has to do with presentation, how the band is presented to the world. Rihanna wouldn't listen to Linkin Park without Chester because she likes him xD.
I loved the part when they all sang together! This was exactly how I imagined it. The shot of that part was a good one, nice job by the crew. Just one thingy, why didn't Chester play the acoustic guitar so Brad could've done an extra guitar part. To give it more texture, especially because the studio version uses two electric guitars in the chroruses.
