Just wanna point out once more how this was my idea a long time ago in an earlier setlist. Literally point for point lol. Not hating though. I actually appreciate the fact that people see my ideas as decent enough to use themselves. That said, where's that guy who always complains "BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 0/10 UNREALISTIC"?

The band seems to have real trouble keeping momentum with their setlist design... They've been advertising their live show as some insanely energetic show where they play all of The Hunting Party and "none of this Iridescent stuff" and then they go ahead and bog down the set with 40 minutes of ballads. That said, they've debuted A Line In The Fucking Sand and are keeping it on the setlist. Easily the most ambitious and technically difficult song they could have picked from The Hunting Party. That's good enough for me for now.

Agreed! I've been waiting for a new closer since A Thousand Suns. I was hoping Wretches & Kings was going to take that spot with an extended outro ala Faint. And then when that cycle came and went I hoped for Lost In The Echo but that never happened either... My first listen to A Line In The Sand instantly made me hope for a closing spot on the set. If ANY song in Linkin Park's discography was designed to be a live closer, it's ALITS. Unfortunately it doesn't have that 'huge single' notoriety that nearly every closer from any band ever has.

Thank GOD they finally grew some balls and played A LINE IN THE FUCKING SAND!! And by the sound of the audience, the song was incredibly well received. See LP? People get excited by songs that aren't called "In The End" and "Numb" and *shivers* New Divide (Live)... That said, ALITS was very impressive for a live debut. As usual Mike needs to be a bit more comfortable on vocals, but that will be remedied with a few more play throughs. Also the fact that Chester screams "Give me back what's mine" live every time rather than growling it, gives the song even more of a bite than before.

What the Hunting Party Tour SHOULD have looked like... SET A 01. Mashup Intro 02. Guilty All The Same 03. Keys To The Kingdom 04. From The Inside 05. One Step Closer (Ext. Outro) 06. Blackout (Full) 07. Papercut (Full) 08. Wastelands 09. Castle Of Glass (Experience Version) 10. Robot Boy (Shortened) 11. Joe Solo Medley 12. Until It's Gone 13. Waiting For The End (Apaches Intro) 14. Final Masquerade 15. Mike Solo Medley 16. Numb (Encore Intro/Shortened) 17. In The End 18. Faint (Ext. Outro) 19. A Line In The Sand -------------------------------------- 20. A Place For My Head (2012 Intro/Outro) 21. Lost In The Echo (Ext. Intro) 22. What I've Done (Ext. Guitar Solo) 23. Rebellion 24. Bleed It Out (Reading My Eyes Intro/Catalyst Refrain/Guitar Solo Outro)

Exactly. I have yet to see LP live and was beyond psyched to fin ally see them in Hamilton, but I'd rather not spend money to watch an injured Chester perform in a wheelchair/crutches for 90 minutes. Then you have people like Geki who's seen them 19 times and is currently lying in the fetal position somewhere cursing the man he idolizes.

HOW TO BUILD THE HUNTING PARTY TOUR SETLIST 101 1. Replace the Ballad Medley permanently with Final Masquerade - freed up a solid 5 minutes in the set 2. Drop Runaway 3. 5 minutes + 1:30 = A Line In The Fucking Sand 4. Drop Given Up = Keys To The Kingdom added 5. Drop New Divide and Crawling = Rebellion added 6. Drop Robot Boy = Papercut back in full Bam - The Hunting Party Tour is now kickass.

Hypes up "new song" for rehearsals and then plays nothing new, instead dropping two singles from their latest album. Classic live Linkin Park.

Not in this thread, or so I've been told 10 million times...

WAIT BUT THEY'VE NEVER PLAYED CAROUSEL BEFORE!!! unrealistic/10

I understand you're making a joke about the album cycle, but "visceral" does not mean aggressive. Secondly, if you did think it means aggressive, then why you would post a set with Castle of fucking Glass, followed by the three most generic "safe" singles the band has conceived, is beyond me. Just my two random cents.

Then congratulations, you are the most boring Linkin Park fan on earth.

Wow. Just for you then, here's my new setlist. BORING SINGLES OUT THE ASS BECAUSE WHY NOT SETLIST THAT WE'VE SEEN A MILLION TIMES BEFORE 01. Guilty All The Same 02. Given Up 03. From The Inside 04. One Step Closer 05. Papercut 06. Burning In The Skies 07. Castle Of Glass 08. Waiting For The End 09. Shadow Of The Day 10. Iridescent 11. Breaking The Habit 12. Crawling 13. What I’ve Done 14. Burn It Down 15. New Divide 16. Until It’s Gone 17. Final Masquerade 18. Lost In The Echo 19. The Catalyst 20. Faint ------------------------------------------- 21. In The End 22. Numb 23. Bleed It Out (Studio Version) SHOW NOTES - The band played the lamest setlist ever because they were strictly told not to experiment and try new exciting things. - Mike Shinoda was quoted, saying "We had rehearsed all these kickass new songs and ideas that we haven't brought to the live stage yet. Oh well here's Crawling again." - Linkin Park received the Guinness World Record for "Dullest Span of Songs in a Live Rock Show" between songs 6-15, causing fans to create the nickname "Nappy Time Medley" for the nearly 40-minute snoozefest. - This nickname is ironic as Joe Hahn was seen sleeping at his turntables for a solid 20 minutes between Papercut and Breaking The Habit. Mike had to nudge him several times to wake up. - Fans swore they heard the same song played 3 times in a row. Turns out it was just What I've Done, followed by Burn It Down, followed by New Divide. - The band closed the set with the most generic encore possible, deciding to take all excitement out of Bleed It Out because surprises suck apparently.

01. No More Sorrow (Extended Intro w. The Radiance) 02. Papercut 03. Guilty All The Same 04. War 05. When They Come For Me 06. Rebellion 07. Blackout 08. What I’ve Done (Extended Solo) 09. Figure.09 (Blood, Anger, Suffering Transition) 10. From The Inside 11. Mike Solo Medley (Wretches And Kings/High Voltage/Skin To Bone) 12. Ph5ng Me A*wy 13. Living Things Medley (Castle of Glass/Roads Untraveled/Powerless) 14. Until It’s Gone 15. Breaking The Habit 16. The Catalyst 17. Mark The Graves 18.

This line-up is what dreams are made of. Rise Against AND Linkin Park? Hamilton: I. Will. Be. There.

A little something bold and fresh: Lost In The Echo (New "Hunting Grounds" Intro) Papercut Guilty All The Same Bleed It Out (Reading My Eyes V1 Intro/Wish V1+C1 Bridge/Outro) War Rebellion Castle Of Glass (Acoustic, Shortened, V1/C1) The Little Things Give You Away Until It's Gone What I've Done (Extended Solo) Mark The Graves In The End One Step Closer (Extended Outro) Faint (Extended Outro) ---------------------------------------------------------- Medley Of A Thousand Suns The Requiem (Shortened) The Radiance Burning In The Skies (V1/C3/Outro) Empty Spaces When They Come For Me (Full) Robot Boy (Instrumental) Jornada Del Muerto (Shortened) Waiting For The End (Full) Blackout (Full) Wretches And Kings (V1/C1/Outro) Wisdom, Justice, And Love (Shortened) Iridescent (Bridge Onwards) Fallout (Shortened) The Catalyst (Full) The Messenger (Shortened, Fadeout Into Encore Break) ---------------------------------------------------------- No More Sorrow (Extended Intro) Victimized/QWERTY (Full 2006 Version) Keys To The Kingdom A Place For My Head A Line In The Sand SHOW NOTES Lost In The Echo introduces a new, heavy build-up intro Castle Of Glass is performed acoustically, only playing the intro, verse 1, and chorus 1 before fading out The Medley Of A Thousand Suns is just under 30 minutes in length

So unbelievably disappointed that I couldn't make it to the show... REALLY hoping they fulfill their promise of a full fledged Canadian tour sometime in the near future. Hopefully next time with Keys To The Kingdom and A Line In The Sand in the setlist.

This. I want to see them dive completely into progressive rock.

Seriously? It's called custom set lists not real predictable ones. If that were the case every single list in this thread should look identical with the same boring ass singles in the same boring ass order with the same intros and outros. I've gone out of my way to create several rather insane set lists because they're extremely fun to imagine, not for accuracy's sake.

After The Hunting Party, it would be incredibly disappointing to see the band tread the same waters that they rebelled so hard against.

I'd say within the context of the rest of Linkin Park's heavier/more energetic/aggressive setlist, songs played from A Thousand Suns are just regularly seen as the low points of the set. There's just no way in hell that a song like Iridescent is going to pump up the crowd as much as Faint or With You for example. I do however think that Blackout and When They Come For Me kick copious amounts of ass live, and The Catalyst in 2012 was absolutely fantastic. In a setting designed for less energetic music however, I think A Thousand Suns would shine brighter than most of their material easily.

This is my dream Carnivores tour setlist that unfortunately will never be. The introduction is actually fairly elaborate and is described below along side any other brand new changes: TYRANNOSAUR SETLIST The Summoning ("Genius Of The Crowd" Extended Intro) Keys To The Kingdom Papercut Guilty All The Same No More Sorrow (Extended Intro) Points Of Authority/When They Come For Me (Mashup) Mike's Solo (All For Nothing V2/Remember The Name/High Voltage V1) Waiting For The End (Apaches Intro/Wall Of Noise Outro) Blackout (Outro Transitions Into...) Mark The Graves In The End Numb/Encore (Shortened) What I've Done Final Masquerade (Shortened Drawbar Intro) Until It's Gone P5hng Me A*wy Lost In The Echo (Extended Intro) Rebellion Bleed It Out (Reading My Eyes V1/Wastelands V1+Chorus/Extended Outro) ------------------------------------------------------ Victimized/QWERTY War A Place For My Head (Extended Bridge) One Step Closer (Extended Outro) Faint (Extended Outro) A Line In The Sand As a throwback to PR 2004's "Garcela Of The Dark Death" voiceover intro, a recording of Charles Bukowski's "Genius Of The Crowd" is performed over The Summoning (hit up the link above for the rather carnivorous poem) The entire stage is pitch-black for the intro, with lights flickering when a guitar is heard in The Summoning The stage remains dark until a spotlight reveals the front of the stage for Chester to stand for dramatic effect before starting Keys To The Kingdom Another spotlight shows Rob when the drums kick in and then finally the stage is revealed when the whole band joins in The band plays Points Of Authority until the bridge. As Mike raps the 2nd "forfeit the game", his vocals begin to distort and the band goes into When They Come For Me, with Mike starting at his "I'm not the same person telling you to forfeit the game" verse after a short intro Final Masquerade features a shorter version of Drawbar Lost In The Echo features a brand new heavy intro Bleed It Out features Reading My Eyes verse 1 followed by Wastelands verse 1 and chorus over a heavier instrumental

Although I recognized their music since One Step Closer, it wasn't until 2006 when I got my first iPod that I became a "fan" and began downloading their music.

More evidence to fuel the flame: http://www.krab.com/iplaylist/artist/447095/ Scroll down to the discography tabs at the end. According to this radio station, Final Masquerade's official release date is June 9th, 2014.

Gotta say while Chester sounded a little weak singing, his screams were on fucking POINT. Lost in the Echo was a highlight for that reason alone. Even Faint sounded better than it has in years which is amazing.
