He said something like ''we didn't feel like we needed to include a making of this time around, because we are always growing, so the process is never really done'' or something like that. Ultra lame answer and it goes against everything they have ever said about not releasing an album unless they were certain it was ready and the best it could be. He also said something about how we get to see the behind the scenes stuff at things like the Summit and LPTV, even though the band is barely involved with the Summit anymore and LPTV hasn't been updated with anything other than 2 min videos in ages. Is LPUTV or LPTV even a thing still? So much has happened this year in 2014 and we have barely any video documentation of any of it.

I'm speechless..

Too bad. I REALLY love watching them making music and breaking down the process.

LPTV's hasn't been that interesting to me this year. It's kinda the same ol same ol.

I used to get super excited when there was a new LPTV, it kinda died down for me. Still love the music LP makes, kinda sucks they took this "unconventional" method.

Back in 2012 i asked Brad if i could play a song with them on stage. But they deaded that thing during the Living Things Tour.

He didn't gave an solid reason why, but i accepted it, told him "too bad".

Guess we'll see more "unconventional" things from the band as time progresses.

It was so annoying that when we were finally let in the VIP Area after waiting all morning, we got yelled at for simply looking at the Music For Relief table. It wasn't Lorenzo or Lulu that yelled, it was very weird and kind of pissed me off right from the get go, to be honest.

 

Joe on his phone the entire Q & A and acoustic performance was an absolute joke. It's bad enough that he does that during the live show, but seriously? A lot of people paid a lot of money to go and travel to the Summit, he should have at least looked like he gave a shit about it.

 

The Q & A was cool, but it was definitely annoying that the same old questions that we all know, that have already been answered in the past, were asked. There was some interesting info, though, like when Mike said that Minutes To Midnight was the hardest album for them to make, but I guess that is kind of obvious. Mike also gave us some info about why there was no making of for The Hunting Party, which was good, I guess.

 

It seemed like Mike was really the only member of the band who was happy to be there. Mike in general seems like he is very interested in the fans and the band. At least Mike did Reading My Eyes over Bleed It Out for us. Mike was the only member of the band that I saw really interact with the fans during the Meet & Greet, which was odd because Chester and the rest of the guys seemed very happy and in a great mood at the Holmdel Meet & Greet a few days prior.

 

Honestly, I think the band was late getting to Darien. Anna Shinoda did a press related thing about her novel the day before in New York City. Chester also had his children and wife out, since they came on stage in Wantagh a few days before. I think they probably were spending time with their family in New York City or something the day before and there were complications in the morning when trying to get to Darien or something. Honestly, though, I have no idea how that would really affect the actual Summit, since most of the day is centered around the crew and the backstage area, etc. But I think this is why everything was rushed and unorganized. Overall, I did have fun at the Summit. It just wasn't as good as the one I attended in Camden in 2012.

What did he say about the making off. I'm still curious about that.

I am going to the show in Amsterdam. The summit thing looks super cool!

How much for the tickets? Are they sold out quick?

In 2012 i won a meet and greet with the band and ONLY Brad, Rob and Mike (Popped up real quick and was gone).

There was somekind of mixed up with the times, since LPU had their thing going on, so i didnt had the chance to meet Joe, Chester and Phoenix.

Also we took a photo with the winners of the meet and greet along with Brad & Rob, but haven't got a word when i get the photo.

So my only memory of that day is a 28 sec footage i took real fast, since they said no camera's were aloud. Sucks though..

Going to this show will be my third LP show.

First time in 2007 on Pinkpop

second time in 2012 on Pinkpop

Now in Amsterdam.

Mashing up verses is kinda tricky to be honest. I mean, if one verse is about being a great rapper and the other one about the political things, it wouldn't make senses.

I would LOVE to hear Mike doing his verse from the track Cover and Duck!

...

woooow!!!

Ooh damn.. if they perform DEDICATED?? beyond awesome!

Now i'm curious wich songs they also don't like?

Well, if everybody on this forum raises his/her hand for A Place For My Head, than, LP is definitely outvoted haha

Drop Numb and In The End and the ballad.
For the encore play A.06

Solo

Brad started shredding near the end of UIG!

Got it! My add blocker was causing the error

I don't think there are some regional restrictions, try another browser maybe.

It's not working on Google Chrome, but does on Internet Explorer

Not even "Stay Tuned"?

Nope, nothing

Clicked on the link but i'm not seeing anything (Live in the Netherlands btw)

Poor Phoenix. Nobody mentioned Phoenix haha.

Astat is spot on about Chester. You can definitely hear he sang couple of wrong notes.

the 2007/2008 were the golden age of DSP's

Papercut/Lying From You short is cool! I liked that alot. Also Victimized/QWERTY! I think that jump started this mashup/shortened songs thing.

Playing songs for the casual fans is cool and all, but don't neglect the die hard fans, that suck around since day one. That stuck by the band since the early days up untill this point in their career!

I know LOTS of people stopped caring about Linkin Park after they did A Thousand Suns.

The only single of Living Things that's haven gotten airplay here on dutch radio is Burn It Down.

Mike is definitely on point with casual fans wanna hear and see songs like "In The Numb/ In The End.

To me, they can drop those songs, and replace with something else.

Sad thing is, they tried so hard to steer away from the whole Hybrid Theory/Meteora thing, but continuing playing those songs, casual fans, still are going to expect those songs on new albums.

I've noticed that the casual dutch fans, don't like GATS or Until it's gone, but rocked with FM.

I'd say also drop the short instrumental version of Blackout & Robot Boy and replace them with songs they haven't played in awhile or haven't played.

I'm curious to see what they're gonna do in Amsterdam later this year.

At first is was cool doing the mashup thing. But i think they're running it into the ground.

Sux Until it's gone shortened

Super interesting to see what the setlist gonna be like!

Some LP fans love the word bitchin' as much LP love the word visceral LMAO.

I agree, i miss the old 10 min long LPTV

My guess is FM and War

I feel bad for kids these days. Growing up with shitty music. Now days most kids only listen to Pop and Rap. The vast majority of the time I turn on KIIS or Z100 it's all garbage. Early 00's was way better in terms of music than early 10's (now).

 

It's not fair to LP being against those other songs/artist. It's all a popularity contest. They had better competition back when Meteora was fairly new.

What's wrong with rap?

I grew up on Rap music! Mike Shinoda also grew up on Rap Music!

The music we grew up on, is way different from what's hot right now!

I do agree with this tho, Lorde is NOT a ROCK artist!

Nice video!

Good episode. Finally, something new. I feel like the only thing I've heard about LP from in recent months is just the music, no video or pictures, etc.

Yeah i got the same feeling aswell

Glad Brad muscled through and played. Don't think they were terribly confident with the new tech since he hasn't had much time to learn the songs. A little sad we still haven't gotten any real LPTVs about the Making of THP.

I'm too hoping for an Making Of The The Hunting Party.

Somehow I think we won't get any making of stuff this time. There was more than enough time to prepare and release them and with touring episodes coming out it seems like the timeframe is over. Really sucks though.

Man that sux!! I wonder why they choose not to have a making of The Hunting Party...
