Numbrocker

lol sorry, I meant it wasn't a single from just LP. Because Collison Course to me was more JayZ's, IMO, since he asked them on the project. I guess it fits. It's not straight forward like Payphone for Maroon 5. My bad guys.

Either way the clues are getting to the point where we have to stretch them out. I mean I'd LOVE for LP to do it again, but like I said with Adam's tweets I'm not so hopeful anymore.

I don't know if Numb/Encore counts because it wasn't a single, and We Made It is billed as being Busta Thymes and LP I think because Brad helped Mike and other produced it. However, that would be an emcee featuring Linkin Park. The only one that actually works is High Voltage from Reanimation and that wasn't really a "hit".

Wow lame that it's probably Maroon 5. I was kind of ready for it when I saw Adam's tweets the other day. And I highly doubt that LP would ever open for Maroon 5. They did sell out the whole tour for HCT, so their name obviously brings in the money.

can someone update the OP with the full list of "clues"?

Done. I'm still waiting for the "They were past HCT performers" clue.

 

EDIT: Think you know who the 2013 Civic Tour headliner will be? Today’s clue: west coast based. Check back daily for clues!

 

No shit!

They probably are reading the comments on their FB page and know the fans have it down to Maroon 5 and LP (also Blink 182 for those fans who don't care about the clues). So all the clues are going to be related to them.

Gotta say I LOVE the Spock gif. TOS is the best.

but considering how "old" this is, that's not very solid info for right now. My guess is that the The Mall soundtrack "screwed it all up". I think they started working on that last year already. And maybe they need more time than they expected and thus have to skip over Europe.

Sigh, I know. I just really want them to give one more tour. Even a European Tour that I couldn't make, before they hit the studio. So many great LT songs they missed performing.

LP used to do 2-3 years of touring for each album up until ATS. LP also did 4 US tour for Meteora and 3 US tours for MTM. LP only did 1 US tour for ATS and 1 US tour for Living Things, and Living Things tour hasn't even hit Europe or Asia at all really. It's typical for big artists to do huge years worth of touring for a album, LP just doesn't do this anymore. LP should be doing a US tour this summer. Is the Living Things tour basically over? I know they're doing a couple Summer Sonic shows in August but it seems to be more of an escape the studio tour like we saw in 2006.

I have a hard time believing that they'll be going to the studio so soon. Especially since they'll be in the studio now doing the Mall stuff.

Also HERE is the interview I kept mentioning about Chester. This was an interview with Brandon Boyd before HCT.

The important bit..

TIS: I think that's a fair assessment (laughing.) I'm wondering too after Honda Civic, where else are you guys going to be touring, and how long do you think you'll be on the road more or less for Living Things.

 

CB: I think we'll be touring more or less through next summer for sure. Maybe even into next fall, depending on what the schedule looks like. I know that we're planning on going to South Africa for the first time, which I'm very excited about. We're planning on going to South America, going back to Europe, going to Asia, and doing another U.S. tour, I believe to end it all next year and then go straight back again into the studio and make another record.

So based on this interview they did South Africa, South America, and Asia eventually. So maybe hope for the US and Europe?

Soul beat me to it. At this point we might as wait until April 1st because I know they'll figure out a way to find another similarity.

who are you thinking of specifically? I don't know a lot about the support acts over the years

Paper Tongues I thought was a choice out of left field, but I love them now. LP has so many different genres in their music they can pair with a lot of bands.

ha! I caught your little typo there

Mansfield, most of the seats in the back before the lawn were mostly empty, no idea how that was sold out.

Scalpers probably. And the typo is really your fault. I keep making that mistake.

really though? how much of HCT was sold out last year?

This article said the Linkubus Tour Sold Out every show, and the three I went to were PACKED. Even Jones Beach when it was pouring. So yeah $$$ wise I could see HCT wanting LP to come back. I feel like the ticket price doubled from the last tour with Blink/MCR.

Also, hi, I'm new to this forum. <3

Welcome to LPL!

LP was on fire for HCT. I'd love to see them do it again. I think HCT would cover themselves by picking a new co headliner with LP. We'll find out April 1st for sure.

Like I said, it makes NO sense WHATSOEVER having LP back, but it looks likely... It remains to be seen whether they are just using pictures of LP for the hell of it.

That recent one is definitely chester - that's his posture, no question

That's pretty adamant, why do you say that? If anything it makes more sense considering how well HCT did last year and that we know they asked them back. Plus it's not like the band to have so much free time and we've only heard rumors about them going back to the studio.

And if we go off history does it seem right that they would be hitting the studio a YEAR after LT came out?

To me it seems more and more likely, the only question is if LP wants to because the offer is there.

Are you still questioning whether or not its LP? They have shown multiple images of the band.

It doesnt make any sense to have LP headline HCT back-to-back years, but they are. Look at the facts.. That's LP for sure

Yeah it looks really good for us. Maroon 5 is touring till July so I don't know them well enough if they'd be ready to go in August (if they stick to last year's HCT schedule). Plus Adam does the Voice. And I checked their wikipedia (so take this with a grain of salt) but it said they were heading back to the studio after this tour.

However, I feel like this picture was too obviously LP but I don't know if that's because I'm a fan and would recognize them, or because it's supposed to be a clue. Like would a casual person instantly know that's LP? And I'm worried that if LP turned HCT down they might just be dicking with us. :S

'13 HCT clue #5: singer has tattoos. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, SEE OFFICIAL RULES

 

HURRR DURRRR so it could still be Adam Levine or Chester

 

EDIT: The picture they are using shows Chester and Mike btw

lol I had the same reaction. Checked the clue first and then the picture.

I'm now going to be really mad if it's Maroon 5, but they're using picture of LP for the the clues.

Seems like Maroon 5 or LP, Meet in school, first show at Whiskey a Go Go, Grammy winning bands, prize is in California.

The only things that Maroon 5 has going for them is that they really are still on tour, and LP just ended there's, and HCT made note to wish Adam Levine a Happy Birthday, but missed all 6 LP members.

LP aren't really ones to "surprise" everyone by suddenly announcing a big tour like this after saying over and over again that they're not doing any shows besides Summer Sonic.

This. I'd be really surprised.

Not sure if it was clear for everyone, the pic in the OP, left and right, it's the same person. The left is the original pic from Facebook and the right an enhanced version of the left pic with changed levels to see who it is.

 

Over and over again? I've seen almost no recent interviews from them. I can't recall they mentioned touring at all recently. Just until a few weeks ago everyone thought they would be playing shows between Australia and Japan.

I know there was a short question about it at the Echo awards but why should they talk about a US tour in Germany?

The last known time they said it besides the Echo awards, to my knowledge, is the Vegas show. The show was promoted to be the only US show in 2013 and Mike said it during the show. Also Sean said that it would be the only show of the year. So at least as of February I don't believe they had plans to do HCT because I doubt they'd lie.

I have no idea how long it takes to put a tour together, but if they are in fact doing HCT it was an extremely last minute type thing. As a US fan I'd LOVE for this to be LP, but it is weird that they were so adamant about it not happening.

Then again, Chester said in an interview last year that they WERE going to another US tour, so really who the heck knows what's going on, lol.

it will be available in other forms (app/etc..)?

As of right now I haven't heard of it being anywhere but on facebook. LP is app friendly so they might. They're still only in Beta test for the game.

It's a bit strange to see the Mike character frowning so much since he's such a happy person, lol.

At the time I played, it was really laggy, took forever to load, and seemed really unfinished. You could change your character gender by just right clicking the game. I don't really remember any music, but I remember the dialog text noise, I think. I might take another look now that it's out for more people now

Well the only music so far was in the intro part before you hit play, but yeah no music during the actual game yet.

I got access to the beta about a month ago

Cool, what do you think of the game? The instrumentals being used sound like it's from the band.

Linkin Park's new facebook game, Recharge, has been sending emails to those who signed up for the closed beta testing.

The tagline for the game is "Humanity is at a turning point. Defeat the Hybrid Domination. Restore the Planet's resources."

Your character is part of the resistance against the "Hybrids" taking over the world. A very basic Beta is available at the moment.

Anyone else get a code or interested in the game?

Got lucky and am dog sitting a friend who has an Xbox.

The video with Chester talking about what he and Mike were thinking about COG was cool. I would have liked it to have been a LPTV.

The Ultimate Fan Quiz was cool. It was much harder than what I anticipated, but still got the 5/5. Definitely not for the causal fan, and there was one question that every LPL member should answer in about .35 seconds.

Update: MSC got the video of Chester talking about COG.

Anything from the Meteora World Tour

And while not pre2007, I forever live in hope that the ATS Release Show will be released to us. I remember Pooch said they recorded it. I'm guessing the problem was with the venue.

I think this is a fantastic idea! I'd love to get a bootleg of shows before 2007, like from the Meteora World Tour. I hope management and co realize just how many fans truly would appreciate this.

I'm going to be surprised if anyone votes for In The End on this site.

To play Devil's Advocate for a minute, there are a lot of pros to ITE. 1) The crowd LOVES IT 2) Sing a long on the bridge is one of my favorite parts of the show 3) Mike going down to the barricade and singing with the crowd.

In Vegas I got Mike right in front of me and that was really cool. HOWEVER, I would have voted for APFMH in a heartbeat even knowing that I wouldn't have Mike there. And I did vote for APFMH in this poll. It's just a better song live.

I still think that it should be in at least one setlist because In The End is arguably their most well known song.

Not jumping on the "get rid of Numb" bandwagon yet because I still argue that song gets more of a response then the majority of the set, but if they were to something like a Set A: APFMH/Numb and Set B: In The End/PowerlessorI'llBeGone, I'd be cool with that.

You guys should tweet the band (Mike, Chester, Joe, Phoenix) how much you liked the change!

No it wasn't on the setlist Mike. I managed to harass Maurice enough to get one along with a guitar pick and lp edition sharpie!

 

Teeeted the pic to lplive and hahninator so hopefully he puts it up soon

Thanks so much Kurtis! I updated the main post, and Mark will come clean it up when he can.

It's weird that they dropped Victimized/QWERTY. Maybe it was like Pez said, people just didn't react to it. Even in Vegas a lot of people didn't seem to know Mike's part of Victimized.

This is still a badass setlist. I don't think dropping V/Q hurt it.

Here's the picture

Huh I wonder what went wrong for POA. Glad that they got to hear APFMH after so long!

I always love shows ending with OSC. Set B is so epic.
