I broke/dislocated an ankle a few years back, so here's what's up - your ankle's a fairly important structure in your body, any damage there can wreck the joint and the supporting ligaments and tendons around it. ankle's aren't "life-threatening" in the same way a 'long bone fracture' can be (thigh bone breaks cause internal bleeding) but the damage has the potential to be something that affects you in later life if it you don't heal properly. Chester's broken arm in 2007 is a totally different kind of break and nowhere near as big a deal as this. essentially, what doctors will have told him is Rest Ice Compression Elevation (RICE!) Rest - no matter what, you simply have to rest a broken joint. "Without rest, continual strain is placed on the affected area, leading to increased inflammation, pain, and possible further injury. Additionally, some soft tissue injuries will take longer to heal without rest. There is also a risk of abnormal repair or chronic inflammation resulting from a failure to rest" - Wiki. in short, activity just increases the statistical probability that you'll do something to hurt yourself further (remember we're talking about Chester here..) but also, you run the risk of screwing up the joint permanently if you don't let it heal right. Ice - Chester probably had this a lot before the show, but the bruising (holy fuck, the bruising), inflammation and heat from added blood flow (a result of your body throwing the kitchen sink at the break to try to help) can be nasty if you don't see to it frequently. Ice helps, a 1hr 30 concert without it must have been rough. Compression - the absolute worst bit of breaking a bone, and especially a sensitive joint like your ankle is the swelling. Your body essentially uses fluid to try to bubble wrap the break so you can't fling it around, but this is really, really unconfortable (like having your pressing on the inside) and - more seriously - can restrict blood flow to the foot if not dealt with. Compression is mostly done with elastic bandages and flight socks, but for broken bones, you tend to alleviate pressure caused by swelling and fluid collection by .. Elevation - you deal with fluid around the break by lying down and keeping the joint elevated above head or chest height. your blood is what brings the fluid into your foot, so you use gravity to minimise the the blood's inward flow, and speed up it's outward passage. If you've ever held your hand up in class for too long you know how this works, well here's a fancy way of saying it - "increasing venous return of blood to the systemic circulation" (wiki). Sitting down, or being in a wheelchair are not the same thing as elevation - you have to keep the ankle right up above your chest height, you have to lie down. Any standing or walking you do, immediately re-starts the fluid collection process, thus slowly bringing back the pain (in the first few weeks, as little as <10 minutes can be painful..) and the risk of reduced blood flow. - - - - The thing is, bone breaks simply take time to heal, there is genuinely nothing you can do to rush that process. But here's the bit that concerns me - the full healing process leaves the rested muscles really weak from lack of use and exercise, this isn't a big deal in an arm, but since your ankle supports your weight, you also have to have physiotherapy to bring your joint structures back to full strength. If you don't, you're looking at further sprains, tweaks, and breaks. Your ankle is a very mobile, multi-directional joint that will really hinder you if you heal badly. I know this from personal experience (nothing like falling down some stairs sober and being kicked out of the bar). frankly 2 shows isn't enough time to let the joint heal fully (try, 2 months, maybe..) and he shouldn't travel, but Chester being Chester, everyone'll clap and call him a bad-ass when he plays gigs on crutches, but he runs the risk of adding a recurring, potentially disabling injury to his roster. If Chester doesn't take at least some time out now, he could end up playing every show glued to the mic-stand for the rest of his life..

War seems likely. it's already short!

I think people read way too much into the content of LPU videos. Mike happened to be talking about ALITS = ALITS in the background the band returning to where they used to play in their formative years = old school material in the background. it's just cold logic.

what are people's thoughts on the band taking a break (like 2005-2006)? Chester's STP stuff might take the forefront, Mike'll do something.. etc. if anything, time away seems to make their "returning" tour cycles bigger or do you think they'll jump straight into writing and recording again?

exactly! you remember that collaboration hype? a waste of time..

http://lplive.net/shows/db/2004/20040315 before Faint, Chester mentioned that he had recently undergone laser eye surgery, which meant he could "fucking see everybody here! the first time in fourteen years I've ever been able to see anyone! and that's fucking cool!" *moved* I often forget corrections is separate to this thread, sorry about that!

I think I agree. I don't think they'll continue with making a point of how "aggressive" or "visceral" they can be, but I wonder if they'll work with more political themes for album 7. NMS or W&K-style

audible [ˈɔːdɪb(ə)] adjective: 1. able to be heard. "some ultrasound is audible to dogs" synonyms: perceptible, discernible, detectable, hearable, able to be heard do you just hear chester and the drum parts? no guitar at all?

will Rock In Rio USA be webcasted? i know it's not strictly this "tour" but the setlist's likely to stay the same for it.

exactly, I'd be interested to hear some more of the stuff that was "beefed up" for the album versions.

from what I see, it's mostly people from CA asking for extra dates.. the locations do seem a little weird, i don't know about the specific cities but 11 years since last time in Iowa 14 years since last time in Rhode Island this is certainly not a normal tour for LP

what I really like about Devil's Drop is that it captures what I felt was missing from Living Things. I remember lots of talk of folk-orientated/-originated songs during LT's hype stage, and alot of those pre-release reviews where the word "americana" kept popping up. (like the "visceral" thing that's hung around the THP promo) Devil's Drop itself sounds like one of those slightly morbid old west pioneer's ballads - brother fell protecting us, somewhere far from home, lay him down to rest with us, in fields of earth and cold - the whole track just sounds really exposed and humble. American pioneers were the god-fearing type, so anything vaguely weird or inexplicable that they found was named because it was the devil's doing; Devil's Punch Bowl, and Devil's Tower for example (seriously, there isn't a state in the US without at least one devil-themed place name). The name and style just fit together quite nicely. I can see why "Warm Spell" was left at the wayside (for fear of over-using the folk-theme) but while Roads Untravelled and UIB part 3 have a folk undertone, I personally felt like the specific americana theme wasn't very accurate in relation to LT. I am definitely putting way too much thought into a song from a movie soundtrack, but a previously unused demo sounds more like the album's hype suggested, than the album did itself.

The Last Line reminds me of In Between, stylistically. nice to be able to hear an "old" era even after being re-purposed for something entirely different. really enjoying Devil's Drop too.

no different to opening with Session. I think Joe's solo would work quite well there; would get people pumped before the whole band comes on

just an "[RT]" and FLAC now
