Well basically, I feel that they play the singles every show because they know that a lot of casual fans bought tickets to SEE songs like ITE, Numb, WID, etc. and they would feel cheated if the band dropped a single for a throwback like Step Up. I know a lot of us would love it (myself included...SU is one of my favorite songs from that era of the band), but for example, I guarantee some people were disappointed at the show where they dropped ITE in favor of APFMH. So the singles (because of the business logic of it) take up a good part of the set. Besides that, I think they have a huge comfort zone after years of playing certain songs. I think that (as a band) they aren't that anxious to try and venture outside of it by playing a song they haven't played in years. I honestly believe that putting RME on the BIO bridge was something they thought the hardcore fans would appreciate. It's not exactly them going back in time, but it's more like a nod to the community while still appealing to the casual fans that come out to the shows.

That would make the 5th album really interesting to hear. 68 year old Mike

........you're right. Honestly, I wouldn't really mind if he came out and said that he's decided TRT was a one time deal. I wouldn't be particularly shocked either, I mean it's true that TRT was 8 years ago. I just really like the FM project in general, and Mike's more hip hop oriented production. Personally I like FM more than DBS or STP. I was just saying if Chester did decide he wants to finish the STP album and do a full touring cycle, that would mean downtime for LP members anyway. So if the opportunity presents itself, then I would hope he thinks about another FM record. If not, then so be it. When I said a break would be nice, I didn't mean "I hope Mike and Chester sit down and decide to put LP on hiatus in favor of Fort Minor". lol I just think that there's a strong possibility Chester will want to do a full touring cycle with STP, since it's a fairly huge name (bigger than DBS or FM for sure), which would clear up the guys' schedules.

Yeah that's a good point... kind of like a hiatus for LP. I think no matter how many side projects there are, they'll always come back to LP eventually though. A break might be nice though and give the members time to explore other opportunities.

Not always true. Example, I don't feel Wretches and Kings gave the right idea of how ATS would sound as a whole, and that was released before the album came out. I know the Catalyst was technically released before it, but still.

Yeah, maybe something like "we have time for either Numb or BTH." In which case I would have chosen BTH as well.

I agree with Skipees. Mike is 36. Nowhere near the end of his musical career, yet if he waits for LP to break up before working on a FM album, that might mean making a hip hop album in his mid 40's - early 50's. I really just don't think that an LP breakup will happen anytime in the near future. Maybe I'm crazy to think that way, I don't know. Then again it's entirely possible to do the album at that stage in his career. I mean the last FM record was produced by Jay-Z, who just released an album at 43 years old. It just seems less likely to me for some reason.

I agree that they probably didn't say "pick any song you like". I would imagine them talking and saying to the fan that they were going to play Numb, but then asking if he would rather hear BTH. Maybe gave him a choice of a couple songs. I think they gave him a choice because they would want to avoid a "No, we're not playing that song, pick another" situation. lol

Yeah I live in New Orleans and LP hasn't played a show here since I was 12 and I'm now in my 20's. If they played LTGYA and dedicated it to us that would be the most amazing thing ever.... Here's hoping they do come back one day!

For the longest time I did not know what Chester was singing in the APFMH chorus. The part where he says "I wanna be in the energy not with the enemy, I need a place for my head." I had to literally see those lyrics written before I understood them lol. Also I wasn't aware that Reanimation even existed until after Collision Course came out!!! Seems crazy now, being the fan that I am

Mike also joining STP would defeat the purpose of Chester using STP as a non-LP musical release. That's like if Chester sung the choruses for all the Fort Minor songs (if FM ever returns). STP would essentially become just an extension of Linkin Park.

This thread made me laugh

The first time I heard Robot Boy actually I was reminded of lol in a way.

That's the last thing I would have ever expected at a M&G.

and 4:00

I swear I almost asked that in the "quick question" section today. I wonder how an audience would react if they dropped ITE from the setlist.

"We've been working on a new song, we'll be debuting it at the show."

Mine too! I'm turning 20. I just hope they come to New Orleans at some point.

In the other DSP's that are out besides Berlin, are the timing issues in Wretches and Kings any better? The first verse sounded weird. lol

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that for the 10th anniversary, but at an average show, they won't play 7 songs in a row from Hybrid Theory. lol that just won't happen.

I wish they would do like they did with "New Divide" and release the instrumental and acapella versions.

I think he meant love in a positive way. Both of those instances led to negativity. (While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through) and (Your eyes say that you hate.) On ATS, there are lines like "Remember your loved, and you always will be. This melody will bring you right back home."

HAHAHAHA after looking at it for so long I guess your mind plays tricks on you!

I swear I see a bear's face on the left side. Maybe I'm crazy...lol

Any WWE fans must be feeling Deja Vu from when Chris Jericho came back in '07. lol
