Wow where to begin?
Not Alone i think is where the year started in terms of releases from the band. Decent effort for the cause it was going to.
8 Bit Rebellion, meeting up with everybody from here in the 8 Bit World filling the chatboxes with LPLive.net calls
Then finally June we were beginning to get all the riddles throughout lp.com for ATS, all the speculation on everything for what the album title,cover and first single.
Hearing all the Catalyst remixes from everyone on here. The whole Dangersilent dramafest that turned into a lolque fest
Then the HUGE twitter spamfest to get the reveal on the album cover for ATS, good times there
Then the huge epic IMO battles on why The Catalyst was either a step down or up for LP. Then the early reports from the community on the listening parties for ATS. Got me so pumped for the new album
Then of course the album leak, got so many links for it in my twitter/email/facebook inbox finally listening and thinking WOAAAH WTF happened here. And just thinking it's so different but its a good kind of different. Just finally listening to the whole thing was great.
Then of course traveling to New York from DC to see the album release show and meeting up with Trip(LPPhan2005) and Jim (Papelbon/eng42ine) then meeting several people in line such as Numbrocker, Reagan, Cindy & Kelly beforehand. Managing to get the whole line signing LP songs, actually singing ALL of 99 Bottles of beer on the wall. Then finally inside the show, waiting with the LPL crew then the show starting with the band completely on their A game. Seeing some of the new songs live first was incredible. Always wanted to see LP in an intimate setting and finally copped an LP setlist from the stage. Then afterward while waiting to meet up with my madre and cousin the band was coming out backstage and getting to meet Brad, Mike & Chester was incredible even if it was brief. Finally getting a handshake from Chester, an autograph from Brad and a thank you from Mike for my compliments about ATS was the cherry on top. Definitely the best show of this year next to Metallica in Guatemala.
And the last part of 2010 LP related has to be LPU X and the release of the US dates. Can't wait to see the band twice in New York and in Washington D.C., I hope I get a meet and greet for one of them,,so i can meet them formally finally after 5 years of being a fan. I'm go glad I have had the pleasure to meet and speak to all the LP fans I've met here and out at shows this year. Here's to 2011 for more good times of lulz,failz and trolling in the Linkin Park and LPL world!
