  1. Both packages were sent off yesterday ... and both winners came from r/linkinpark!
    u/warchiello won the LPU1 reissue of the Hybrid Theory EP, and u/ToroRossoAlphaTauri won the rare Hybrid Theory EP era t shirt. 

    The LP community raised $350 for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand which I think is a pretty great outcome so thank you everyone who got involved. It means the absolute world.

  2. Roughly 12 hours left to enter. In the last 48 hours there have been a heap of entries bought, in fact I think we're one entry away from hitting $300 raised by the LP family for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand so I want to thank everybody who has entered. If not, it's your last chance. Good luck everybody!

    What does paraphernalia mean? 🤔

    (Sorry,not trying to be the idiot in this situation,I'm still learning stuff)
     

    That's all good! It was a bad choice of a word by me anyway. It just means objects related to a particular thing e.g. a tshirt and a cd related to Linkin Park. 

  4. A corporate sponsor has hopped on board to match any donations received over the next 24 hours so if you are waiting to donate, now's the best time to make the biggest impact. We have seven legit entries right now, your chances are still higher than 10% for some pretty impressive prizes so please get behind this important cause. Remember entries close July 31st so don't miss out.

    If there's two weeks left I hope I have time to donate as soon as I get my paycheck

     

    PS: I'm from the opposite part of the world (Spain), would it be any problems with that?

    No problem at all! I'm from New Zealand so I figured most donors would be from anywhere but here haha. Fingers crossed!

    I believe that was me, itd be great if I walk away with everything! 🤣 Best of luck to everyone, and hope you achieve your goal

     

    Haha I think it was. Hey, I'm glad you got it started. You have a pretty reasonable chance still. Three donors, one of whom donated enough for three entries so 1 in 5 chance at the moment!

  7. Hey LPLive,

    I was considering taking this down as it hadn't received any donations from the LP community, but as the first donation from the LP community has been made, I will let it run.
    As it stands, that person will walk away with everything for $10, so give them some competition, and let's raise money for a great cause.

    I've also added a link to photo directly in the original post.

  8. Hey LPLive,

    It's been a hot minute since I've been around here. This site used to be a regular website visit in my daily routine.
    As the years have gone on, I've continued to lug around two giant boxes of various Linkin Park paraphernalia. Now that my partner and I have just moved into a small apartment together, it's been time to reckon with what is most important to me. I'll be keeping some of my favourite pieces (such as my LPU9 vinyl, my signed LIVING THINGS vinyl etc.) however it's time to let some of it go.
    This is where you come in.

    This month in New Zealand, the Mental Health Foundation are running Mindfulness Month, a fundraiser and way to get people into good mental health practice.
    In order to help raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, I am giving away 1 copy of the LPU reissue of the Hybrid Theory, as well as a t-shirt from when they were still called Hybrid Theory that I won through the LPU.

    All you have to do to be in the draw is to make a donation of $10 at the link below (the money doesn't go through me at all) and in the comment with your donation, use the hashtag #MakeChesterProud and write your LPLive username. For every $10 you receive one entry (e.g. donate $20 and you'll receive 2 entries). I'll be drawing a different name for each prize at the end of the month so there are two chances to win.

    Thank you so much in advance. Here's to the cause and to Chester.

    P.S. Here's what's up for grabs

  9. For as many good points have been made on here, here's my 2 cents. I think the LPU does need to be preserved; reinstating the LPUTV archive is a perfect first step. When LPU17 launched, Lorenzo said there was also going to be an LPU app that would allow members to stream the LPU exclusive music through the app. It was a wicked idea to show the members they're serious about the LPU and moving with the times in terms of streaming, but unfortunately they never followed through. 

     

    I think they should have continued LPU without releasing the "new merch" pack. As others have said, it's a recycled logo on unnecessary merch items. It's fine to not have an updated logo or anything but maybe just continue to stock what they already had until they are ready to launch something new. It also clashes with what Music For Relief stands for as well, considering the impact of "fast fashion" on the environment, why pump out extra merch that provides nothing new to fans nor does it promote anything new for LP?

     

    As someone who lives in New Zealand, there is little reason to resubscribe. Mike hasn't and won't come to NZ, which is fine, but it means the only thing LPU has for internstional fans are the forums [which are not as well developed as here], the videos [which are all available unofficially on YouTube], and the store [which everything is now available on eBay]. If they're going to use the LPU for Mike's solo career, why not release MS demos or tracks that didn't make the cut? The CAL Sketch Version could have been an LPU exclusive, especially as it's unlikely to appeal to casual fans anyway. Mike could have done a live chat or competition or something to enhance the LPU experience.

     

    LPU should definitely be kept alive but either go all in and give members content [whether MS or otherwise] or let it remain dormant until LP returns, don't half ass it because it looks a lot like a money grab, even if that's not the intention.

     

    P.S. This sounds more aggressive than intended. I love the LP family and respect what they're going through, this is just how I would've viewed it if I was working the LPU.

  10. I think if you're doing LPLive merch, it needs to reference the band without being band merch. Maybe some kind of symbolism for the five living members and one past. Maybe some really niche references to inside jokes like Petrucio the Piñata or "hotdogs and ketchup" or something to do with Mike not being able to touch his shoulders. I'm not too helpful with specifics sorry but these are definitely the broader ideas I think would actually inspire me to spend money on merch.

    If only they did DSP for 2013 shows..

    because that's the year they came to Malaysia, after their last show back in 2003..

     

    I feel ya bud, my first show was the New Zealand 2013 concert. I didn't record anything, thinking there would be a DSP.
