My take on the show / setlist : - The Catalyst into Guilty all the same INTRO doesn't fit . GATS is straight in your face song, and doesn't need an intro. It may be better in the encore "opener" - As far as I litteraly love Blackout, I feel there's no reason for it to be played as the Papercut intro, again. Waste of time. - The Papercut/With You/Runaway "medley" is good. No 2nd verse isn't that bad, as it keeps all the energy in. - The Ballad Medley need to be scrapped, it's a crowd killer.. - Mike doing his stuff is great, Joe's also good at it. - THAT version of Lost In The Echo is freaking good !!! It needs the second verse. - Castle of Glass Experience is really a highlight for me. It has energy! - Even though I'm not a fan of Until it's gone, its Live version is actually one of their best songs . - Hopefully A Ligh That Never Comes will be scrapped, one day .. Anyone agrees ?

Standard LP song, but I love the rapping and the diverse layers in it. The electronica line sounds very reminiscent to old songs like High Voltage (1st one)

So, according to this review, the fastest song may be War (Exploited style, omg!!). We know so far: (instrumentals not mentionned) Up-tempo songs: - Keys to the kingdom - All for Nothing - Guilty all the same - War - Wastelands - Rebellion - Mark the graves (?) - A Line in the sand (? - Don't know if it's up-tempo though it "rocks HARD") Mid-tempo songs: - Until it's gone - Final Masquerade (?) If you compare to their previous albums, including HT, they've got much more high tempo songs, which is good for live

I think they're sort of done with this electro thing. As long as I love ATS, LT ans ALTNC were quite bad, in my opinion. And it is quite possible for the very first shows to have 2 songs off the new record (GATS and an other). I still think they will surprise us in a good way with some unburried tracks .

ALTNC isn't likely to be a part of the set though... And it is a quite awful song to be played live. But that's in my opinion.. I'd like to hear High Voltage, or HV verse on BIO

I mean surprise when you say "Holy F**k" by hearing a song you couldn't expect... That was the case for me when they played My December. I live in France and was not able to hear all songs from HT live . By Myself, Pushing me away, Forgotten and With You were missing..

Thing is that we may have one or two surprises . For last tour, With You and Somewhere I Belong were big returns. So I don't see just "usual" stuff. I don't see Don't Stay or No More Sorrow as surprises, as they were played quite recently though. Like I said, if you bet your money on one particular surprising track, I'd say FORGOTTEN

Thanks for your reply I really want to hear Figure 09 again,but I really doubt LP will ever play it again .. Sadly. By the way, my setlist would look like this : 01 A Place for my head 02 Papercut 03 New Divide 04 NEW SONG 05 Faint 06 With You 07 NEW SONG 08 Points of Authority 09 Waiting for the end 10 Castle of Glass 11 Numb 12 What I've Done 13 Burn it Down 14 Lost in the Echo 15 By Myself 16 NEW SONG 17 Forgotten 18 Bleed it Out 19 GUILTY ALL THE SAME 20 In the End 21 One Step Closer

Hi everybody, it's been a very long time since I posted my last thread here . And I'd like to share with you guys what I'd expect from the new setlists. I really do expect some major changes, as the rythm of the album is likely to be fast paced . Here are my "thoughts" : METEORA : While Faint remains a setlist staple , there are a few songs that can be cut. First of all, Somewhere I Belong. This song made its return on last tour, but you have to create slots for some new ones and some surprises. Then, Breaking the Habit and Numb were played heavily since the debut of Meteora and I see one of them being thrown. Numb being a fan favourite, I really see Breaking the habit out of the setlist for a while. No surprises expected from my point. Remaining tracks : Numb / Faint MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT : Bleed it Out seems to be what is one of the best songs they have especially for Live. It's got energy, some surprises in it and close the sets very well.The medley LOATR/SOTD probably had its last breath. Given Up was always played since it came out , and even if it's a very rock-ish song, I never saw it as a "must listen" or a "fan favourite". That's why I can see it being kicked out sometime. What I've Done remains in the set, as it's a good single ans well loved song . You also need those type of songs to slow down a little bit and not affect Chazzy's voice No More Sorrow can make a little run, but I don't expect it to . Remaining tracks : What I've Done / Bleed it Out A THOUSAND SUNS : Very hard to pick songs from this album, even though it's my favourite by far . The Catalyst may have that vibe and energy the band was referring to when talking about the new album . But maybe there is too much electro in it as for now. The only song I can see returning would be Wretches and Kings. This aside, Waiting for the End will remain the lone song of the album being played live. Remaining track : Waiting for the End LIVING THINGS : Most recent album to date, I don't think the songs sounded as good live as we expected. I don't expect surprises from this album , as I only see 3 songs played . Remaining tracks : Lost in the Echo / Castle of Glass / Burn it Down HYBRID THEORY : Everybody already knows the band will play the album in its entirety at Download Festival. That's not made out of nothing . I really think they will add one or two songs to this years setlist. My money goes on Forgotten. It's got everything they want to sound, especially those times. Agressive, Melodic , they can warm some crowd with it . The second title I see making its return would be By Myself, but not so sure . Just a hope Remaining tracks : Papercut / One Step Closer / With You / Points of Authority / By Myself / In the End / Forgotten / A Place for my head. 8 tracks is a lot, but they will not play HT at DL festival for nothing. I hope . That leaves space for 4 tracks + New Divide . 4 new tracks, virtually I hope it was not that long and you liked reading that . Your opinions are for sure welcome

THIS seem to be the ultimate setlist. Very HT ish though

yep, I saw it. No Blackout is a pain in the ass... I can live with Runaway being dropped

Blackout, SiB, and With You still there, plus the adding of Qwerty and a bunch of new songs ? Best setlist ever ?? question is: what songs will be dropped ??

I see LP opening with LITE . It seems easier to build an intro around the LITE sample

Lost in the Echo Victimized (easy to fill the setlist) I'll be gone Burn it down Lies Greed Misery I also see them having the guts to play Castle of Glass with an acoustic guitar

My set-list so far: 01 - The Catalyst 02 - Papercut 03 - Given Up 04 - When they Come for Me 05 - New Divide 06 - No More Sorrow 07 - Figure 09 08 - Somewhere I Belong 09 - Numb 10 - Irridescent 11 - Waiting for the End 12 - Crawling 13 - What I've Done 14 - Medley (Nobody's Listening/POA/Forgotten) 15 - A Place for My Head 16 - One Step Closer 17 - Burn It Down 18 - Faint 19 - Bleed It Out ENJOY !

For the guys that heard the 3 DSP available: What is the best out of those 3 ? (concerning the mix) I only have the Berlin one. Love the vocals, but I think the guitars are not as louder as on previous DSP's..

I hope that the show in Paris will happen. Lady Gaga just cancelled her show schedulded tomorrow because of the strikes. fINGERS CROSSED

No one going to Paris, France ?

There's too much Meteora in it . I suppose Lying from you or From The Inside won't be on the final setlist . I still have the feeling that we'll get a special song (oldie from HT,Nobody's Listening,Across the line,P5ng Me AWy)

Here is the setlist that I 'd like (probably not that far from the real one) 01 Requiem / Radiance 02 New Divide 03 Somewhere I belong (w/Intro) 04 No More Sorrow (w/extended intro) 05 Faint (w/ outro) 06 Papercut 07 Given Up 08 Wretches and Kings 09 When They Come for Me 10 Numb 11 Breaking The Habit (piano intro) 12 The Fallout 13 The Catalyst 14 P5ng M* Awy 15 Iridescent 16 Jornada Del Muerto 17 Waiting For The End 18 In the End 19 Crawling (w/hhh verse) 20 Bleed it Out (w/solo) 21 What I've Done (intro w/ ambo) 22 By Myself / With You / A place for My Head ( one of those each night) 23 One Step Closer (extended outro) What do you think about it ? Maybe SOTD will make the final cut though

I just hope that they won't play full ATS (although I love it) and leaving space to 5 or 6 older songs . I also hope that they'll skip Points Of Authority for Papercut (really need to hear it)

We all know that the band needs to perform it several times to push it to an other level. Remember In Pieces or Bleed It Out (it's now my favorite live song)

Don't like Shadow of the Day with Iridescent in the same setlist . Your setlist is good though. And you're right on one thing : Blackout won't be played . The other thing I don't like is WID as the closing song. Even the Catalyst is better. I think it will finish with OSC, Faint or BIO.. And I still hope for Pushing Me Away (Reanimated)

I really think that LOATR will leave its place to a ATS track, as well as SOTD (certainly for Irridescent, which is a "better" version of it) We already know that they will play Irridescent, Catalyst and Waiting For the End It's also about perfect time to bring back some Reanimation track(s). I would pay just to see them playing Pushing Me Away

I'm not gonna rate each song, but the album is a big one . Maybe their best work since Reanimation. I really like the energy of this CD. The music reminds me of NIN (you don't have to be heavy to prove you're a great ROCK band).. I don't know if Waiting For the End fits well in the album (I like it for sure) with every other track being heavily electronic... The 2 songs I didn't like during my firts listens were Robot Boy and Irridescent . And I have to say they're both from my favorites right now . There's a lot of THRICE and DREDG in those two song (take a listen to the Dredg typed guitars in Irridescent). Did you felt like this ?
