Does a proshot of the Identity LA show exist anywhere? All I seem to find are peoples terrible phone recordings.

I felt like the whole thing was just far too awkward, especially with Mike & Ken's interaction. It would have been better with James Corden and even a full band setup. I like Chester's enthusiasm as always with stuff like this. As for Joe, well he was just being Joe. It's a shame because it could have been so much better, without Ken too. Chester talking about his kids like that a week before he passed away was pretty sad too. But shoutout to Talinda for letting it happen.

I have a pick from this tour from London 02 - Chester's from Battle Symphony.

Just got back home from the show and I have to say, I feel like that's the best performance I've seen the band do. There was a perfect mix of old and new. The set length was great. Just a little side note to what I posted on your facebook page - there were A LOT of cameras there tonight filming, on stage, dipping and diving between the band members so perhaps a DVD is coming? Either that or they were just filming for the big screens either side of the stage for the audience that were seated. I also caught Chester's pick that he threw after playing guitar for Battle Symphony. The new tour picks are quite nice with the new logo on one side and the signatures on the other. Stormzy was great despite coming in a whole verse and chorus early, which I feel ruined the surprise but nevertheless it was a fun surprise.

Also Stormzy coming in a whole verse and chorus early ha!

I just still can't get over that scream of "I do" in the OML track on Kimmel.

Never seen Rob talk so much. This is actually a pretty funny watch!

Chester's build up part's just scream Steve Aoki to me which is just so frustrating.

Certainly going. Just can't decide which venue to pick!

I have very mixed feelings and thoughts on this album cycle. With the style of the photoshoots they've been doing and the big Kerrang interview that has been released lately, what I gathered from it was that I felt like it was going to be a MTM Pt 2 album, but created in a much shorter space of time than it took to create between Meteora and MTM. I love MTM as an album. It's now starting to look like a Living Things Pt2 in terms of style and production. I agree with a lot of people talking about the quality and structure of the songs on ATS which is a stunning album, they could have at least pushed themselves on their songwriting for this album. It doesn't feel like they pushed themselves for this album like they did with ATS. I feel like this is just something Mike & Chester could have written by themselves in the studio in about an hour. Despite being such a "personal" album to the band, I can't really feel it, maybe I have to listen to the whole album to get it. I also agree with people saying how Mike has been hypocritical about the state of music and "pop" music over the last few years and then release Heavy and Battle Symphony. I guess the definition of pop music has changed a lot over the years and what dominates the chart. Back in the day when it used to be Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd dominating the charts and they certainly aren't "pop music". LP have always been popular in terms of popularity as they've been around for 16 years roughly and sold millions albums worldwide and toured arenas off the back of the debut album. In terms "popular" musically then this is certainly that. Easy on the ears, simple melodies and structures, for a wide audience. Times change, people change, get over it. The intro to this song though is amazing - totally digging the Malibu/Venice Beach vibe.

I feel like this should be part of the old school Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack.

Links working fine, thank you!

The link is broken for the video!

I've managed to get my hands on a copy of TRT so I'll check and see if it's numbered when it arrives.

I wonder if there will be anyway to get a copy of TRT in Europe/UK?
