ana

it looks like a pink floyd poster = EPIC!

I would definately buy one

Happy beloved Birthday Pooch!!!

Thank You so much for all the efforts you do for us LP fans and especially for LPLive. You are amazing! I'll definately will meet you after the concerts when the crowd is going home ;D

Interesting...

I mean it could be a demo, or an edited version especially done for the game...

LP keeps saying that they haven't changed much on the Catalyst since it has been written (2008-2009) either its one of the first versions or as I said done for the game..

This version has less effects over the voices right? And the percussion is by far clearer than on the normal version..

have you tried the jack-half-way-unplug trick? If you pull out your headphones halfway out you'll be able to hear the background stuff + band vocals and effects..

I know LPLive is not posting much about pictures taken at the concerts, but these are extraordinarily good and taken from the stage by Estevan Oriol (good friend of the Band,;worked with SURU).

He updated his blog with HQ Pictures taken from LP's concert in Brazil:

Check his original post here

Preview:

*The setlist + you can see on Joe's screen the Somewhere I belong scratches...does it mean that they think about playing this live again or is it just on his computer? its also highlighted (in white)....

You can also see on the left hand side menu of his laptop that there are setlists X, Y and Z. Multiple setlists! Is this for Europe? Discuss!

Ill be there again

it would be cool to delete the full post he removed from his blog..

there's certainly a reason for why he removed this...#justsayin

we had this this year at RaR there was a band that sucked so much^^ they even cancelled there RiP show on the next day casue we throw a lot of things on stage!!!

okay I have to LOL on this one

I want Julien-K, Delta Fiasco, Pendulum or another really awesome band as support

What a moron, douche and dumbass.

My friend has an original CD, I can ask her to let me put the files on my computer, import with a crappy itunes quality, burn them on a CD and tadaa I saved money...

thanks for pointing this out LPL...that guy deserves some bad critique

yeah amen that its not C&C....well we can entertain ourselves in the meanwhile but the worst thing that you can do to any band is too boo them off the stage.

It debuted on #1 in Germany.

+ who cares about sales, I believe the guys aspected that this record wont even sell more than 100k in its first week.

Hey guys!

I'm sure that you've all already heard that the LPU is going to move from the sparkart to the NING platform.

linkinpark.com, lpstreetteam.com and musicforrelief.org were already moved to NING and they are going to do the same with the LPUnderground.

That means:

- We will loose the LPUMB, our beloved joining dates and (minor) post count.

- The Design is going to be more basic

- possible hacking (?)

+ we would know more about LPUX

Anyway we LPUers want to show Linkin Park (especially Mike) that we don't want the LPUMB to be moved to NING and neither the chat to be like on LP.com.

So we created a twitter @Save_The_LPU which you can follow if you want to support us.

We thought we could do something stronger/better than a petition so if we RT or mention to @m_shinoda @linkinpark @heydudeimadam and @phoenixlp our wish, we might get heard.

thx!

"Their first three albums it has made the Californian group Linkin Park to become one of the most successful rock bands of today. Now they present their next trick.

Three years have passed since the last Linkin Park album Minutes to Midnight "passed. Meanwhile, lead singer Chester Bennington has his solo project Dead By Sunrise proven. Volume crisis? Not at all: On the fourth, again by Rick Rubin (U2, Johnny Cash) produced record, the alternative rockers plant developed jointly. "A Thousand Suns" is the album to give about the singer Mike Shinoda and bassist David Farrell information.

 

FOCUS Online: Gentlemen, when hearing the new Linkin Park album, I thought at first it would be the new Madonna album!

Mike Shinoda: Madonna? Why?

 

FOCUS Online: Because the woman who sings it at the beginning, it has a vocoder-distorted voice.

Shinoda: I see. But I do not think Madonna has ever been so awesome.

 

FOCUS Online: Probably not. But there is an ambient sound that runs like a thread through the new album.

 

Shinoda: Hmm, definitely looks different from the plate. This is probably also depends on what you hear otherwise. Whether one more in the hip-hop, rock or pop is at home. We are six types and hear completely different things out. For us, it is therefore just music.

 

FOCUS Online: Did you influenced electronic music, particularly this time?

 

Shinoda: That has developed rather naturally. For ten years I learned to play the piano. Then I moved on to keyboards and put me at some point in the nineties, my first sampler. And when you get your first compilation, clicking until you look through the many different beats. You listen to the different sounds, noises and sounds. You do not really play a song. At least I did not. I tried only. This plate has its roots in these experiments. There was a re-kindled interest in making a lot of cool noise. But on our way a noise that feels hand-made.

 

FOCUS Online: The music is very percussive.

 

Shinoda: Absolutely. But it has many facets. So dark it may seem, to me it is also the most hopeful of what we have ever produced. And the reason is that there really is an album. Even when people have become used to it to add itself only certain songs, is my hope that they make this record an exception. I would like to see many fans listening to the whole record. We have used a lot of time to make the album a kind of travel experience. It has twists and turns. It is not only the best songs in the musical sequence, but it makes sense.

 

FOCUS Online: What experience for a journey for the listener when he hears the songs one after?

David "Phoenix" Farrell: The fans start so just beginning to deal with the record. But we have been working for several years and developed our own fantasies to do so. Which differ in each of us. My experience is so different from the example of Mike.

 

FOCUS Online: What?

 

Farrell: For me it is a very colorful and visual journey. I've heard the record a few times with closed eyes or in the dark with headphones. Everything is very much alive. To me it seems almost as if there is another dimension that takes me to another place. It's like a 45-minute trip. But we have already heard the wildest opinions: one says it's all so encouraging and hopeful. And the neighbor says again, the songs were as melancholy and incredibly bleak.

 

FOCUS Online: How does it look on your journey, Mr. Shinoda?

 

Shinoda: We want to tell a certain story. It is rather abstract. Hopefully, the songs take on issues, encourage people to reflect on and leave them to their own conclusions are, what it is. That is almost like a personality test.

 

FOCUS Online: What does this say about me, if I find that the record happened to sound apocalyptic, futuristic?

 

Shinoda: It's all right with you. For this is understandable. In essence, the album really represents the modern world in which we live. The organic and the digital elements of the panel reflect the human and technological dynamics of the real world. We live in a time integrated into the human experience in the technology. The technology plays a major role, as we act with each other and understand the world around us. My uncle, for example, finds it ridiculous that so many young kids are only talking via e-mails and text messages. But my cousins who do exactly that and are constantly online, seem to me much wiser than any of us be here. For they have all the information.

FOCUS Online: How to get on as a Native American drumming like in "When They Come For Me"?

 

Shinoda: Our drummer Rob has a tribal drum fan community would have connected the Internet. He has even paid for a membership fee of $ 15. The users there are always sending each other MP3s back and forth. Rob has operated there so very serious research, to design this particular drum sound. But all the work that was in this one part of the song has invested significantly to how we work. You never know how deep the rabbit cage someone is looking for ideas from us. And that's fun.

 

FOCUS Online: For a piece you used a speech by Martin Luther King. Why?

 

Shinoda: It is one of his lesser known speeches. I found the speech on the Internet and was really moved away. He could hold still as if he were still alive. And I think this applies to all Sprachschnipseln that we used on the album. The intention, why we do such a thing is not to teach the people. But I find it exciting when I think that our fans go to the bottom of the speeches to find out more about it and want. This will be good for them.

FOCUS Online: In contrast you provide with your first single "The Catalyst" the song for the Electronic Arts video game "Medal of Honor." It is a military shooter set against the Taliban. Why do you support such a Shooter game?

 

Shinoda: I am a hardcore player. I grew up with it. This is just our generation. The song was not written specifically for the game. But the music and the game are a perfect match because both are powerful and dramatic. I am of the opinion that parents bear the responsibility for what their children at play.

 

FOCUS Online: I was never a big fan of the way, your first two records ...

 

Shinoda: Really? Well, that's O.K. We do not do many interviews with people who say that. Maybe they think it, but she did not say.

FOCUS Online: But I like the new album. Do you think that Linkin Park can be reached with the much more experimental record, a new audience?

 

Shinoda: That is outside our control. What people forget sometimes is that we make music for so long. And over time, tastes change, the way things are. Our tastes have really changed much. Therefore, any record of us sounds a bit different. If we are in the studio, we are very committed to trying out new things. to repeat oneself is not our thing. Every time a demo is created, which reminds us of an older song of ours, we drop it better.

 

 

 

FOCUS Online: What is the role of your lead singer Chester Bennington on the record? You had to do a lot of work because of his solo tours.

 

Shinoda: No, he injured his shoulder, so he is not there. Chester and I have worked much more on this record. It was a difficult process to write the lyrics with him. If we have done previously, it was mostly so that whoever of us, who wrote the text, it has often sung. At our last studio album "Minutes to Midnight" it started with the fact that I also once sang the lyrics written by him. On this record we sing together often. And only when we mixed the record later, we shot just a loud voice and the other softly."

I uploaded a lot of professional taken pictures from the show (also in HQ) and from the queue at the outside of the venue.

They are here at the phoenix-farrell.org Gallery here

Chester and Rob were not in Germany. If Im not mistaken the inerviewer went to meet LP in LA. Just like 1live did when they interviewed Chester.

a signed ATS poster?

3DAYS!

wow how awesome! Im not pleased that it leaked but 3 days before it's release is just...good! I think after they have shipped the albums to the stores it had to happen..

I kept saying it will leak on the 6-7th..anyway DONT SPOIL anything in the shoutbox please

cool huh?

lol you spoiled it lmao.

anyway yes its when they come for me, my favourite song.

mike also raps: im not a monkey, im not a robot.-.etc

brad is very present on ATS just he playes more instruments than just guitar like mike said in this (

) interview that other band members play other instruments live cose of the sound of the new album

oh so you've heard the album too? I said he is as present as on the video...Ive seen him more than 5x so he's just a little bit less present than dave.

He never actually said that the elephant was in the video. Ana asked him and he answered that a movie was being shot at a studio next to the studio where "The Catalyst" was recorded. That's where the elephant came from. xD

thank you for answering that question.

why does everyone bother so much about an elephant or mike being hooded.

- That video is by far not their best

- Joe Hahn and his crew are professionals, i doubt that they would have overseen the snyc-"problem". Maybe it was on purpose. Who knows

- maybe that guy(running) is happy that his life finally came to an end. its just before the lift me up let me go part, where mike seems to be relieved too. So it must be a happy, glory moment when you can finally be free -> let me gooo

- brad is as present on the album as in this video.

- it can happen that joe doesnt do an absolute amazing video. I can tell you he and the other 5 did an awesome, genius masterpiece with ATS.

- OMG ITS THE RADIO EDIT NOOO (please stop complaining about that. what if it was longer? we had more smoke and all the guys would choke and the tour would be canceled = everyone unhappy, sad....apocalypseeee)

PS: if you do quote my post, please shorten it. merci
