    LPUX Tracklisting

    in Newswire

    Posted

    LPU 9 is Across The Line and 8 other unnfinshed songs that likely can't be enjoyed by anyone except hardcore LP fans.

     

    LPUX is more balanced has a few songs that can be considered almost 100% complete, and isn't similar to stuff we have. (Bar WID Remix)

     

    Across The Line is an awesome song I agree. But one awesome song, and the demo of a song you give way too much credit that borders on a Linkin Park form of "fanboyism" isn't enough to stand up to a CD with more varied material that's nearly completely new and over twice as long. That's my opinion.

    BEST LPUX demo ?

    Besides the ending, I don't see what's so epic about Pale at all. It's good, but I don't think its that much better than the rest of the stuff on there. But then again, I feel the same about Iridescent, and everyone has orgasms to that song, so who knows...

     

    It's definitely between Halo and Pretend To Be for me. I'll come back later. I so however think Halo in itself sounds more epic than Pale, but to each their own.

    The tracklisting is really interesting... I like how... wait, I'm apparently too late for that, lol. I can't wait to hear the CD, I'll definitely buy it just to have the physical copy, just like the last 9 CD's, but you can bet I'll be downloading that shit the first chance I get! :P

    Wow, so whats this talk about the original? Are we really down to holding back information that only a handful of people care about, that isn't even relevant anymore? Hopefully I'm wrong, but that's just stupid and unnecessary. I love this band, even now, and you can't exactly log on to any site and find readily available information on them.

     

    And for what its worth, its not like anybody didn't discuss it in the original topic.

     

    Wow awesome! I love Grey Daze, and still listen to them all the time. Having all of this new information is really great. Thanks so much guys.

     

    Hopefully one day a full live Grey Daze recording will show up...

    Linkin Park Song Election - A Thousand Suns

    in Everything Linkin Park

    Iridescent

     

    Sorry guys, but its not that great of a song. Its very cliche and brings absolutely nothing at least remotely new to the table. The lyrics are the same things LP's been writing since 2006, and the composition is not all that compelling or different. This song's reputation is stronger than anything about it. At least with songs like Blackout and The Catalyst, we got some unique songs that were still good... Iridescent is the fan boy/girl song that some hardcore LP fans masturbate to.

     

    EDIT: Because of the controversial material in this post, I think I should mention that this is all in my opinion, lol

    Linkin Park Song Election - A Thousand Suns

    I can't beleive there are so many votes for blackout. How disgusting.

     

    And to fuel controversy further, I can't vote for any track other than Iridescent.

     

    I can not for the life of my understand why this track gets the amount of praise it does. It's a decent song, but its one of the most cliche on the album, and incredibly overrated. That's probably why everyone likes it, haha.

    Live Setlists

    Oh jeez... I'm pulling out the Advil now...

     

    Some of you need counseling/medication, but I digress.

     

    Just because you haven't been to a Linkin Park show, doesn't mean other fans can't hope for rotating setlists. I've only been to one show... in 2004, when their setlists were cool, and I still want rotating sets. Makes it more interesting. I can totally understand if they wait until 2011, why not get used to the new songs and transitions. No offense, but trading a few songs in and out of the set, isn't that hard. People are acting like its going to take hours of planning to trade a few songs around in the set. Unless they are completely inept at playing live, this is not true.

     

    Another thing that grates on my nerves is the whole "do something for the hardcore fans and play more Hybrid Theory" or the typical whine "play some more old stuff" speil. WTF? Besides the fact that this is all just the whole wanting-what-you-don't-have syndrome at play, since when did Crawling, Papercut, One Step Closer & In the End become new stuff? And since when did hardcore fans become the term to describe the fans who only want LP to play non-single stuff from Hybrid Theory & Meteora which is what the bitching is really about.

    Anybody who collects and trades live audio... The very foundation of what this website was built on, will tell you that we all got sick of hearing those four singles from HT 3 or so years ago. Where is With You, Runaway, By Myself, and A Place For My Head? The reason they say this is because they've played 3 out of the 4 songs you've mentioned at nearly every show since 2001.

     

    I, and others have admitted we want less singles in the set. We are entitled to want what we don't have until we get it... And most of us realize we all won't get what we want too.

     

    And at the end of the day, every fans ideal set list is so diverse due to everyone's personal taste and preference, it is pointless to even debate what sort of set list would be an improvement because they are biased. For example, my ideal set list involves the band playing all of A Thousand Suns with nothing from Meteora except Breaking the Habit & Easier to Run, and everything from MTM with the exception of In Between, Given Up, Shadow of the Day, & Leave Out All The Rest and from HT, Only Crawling, Papercut, Pushing me Away and A Place For My Head. My set list is biased because i prefer Chester's singing voice over his screaming voice so the songs i want reflects that. And i consider Meteora to be their worst album so it reflects on my setlist. I also think ATS is their best so my set list reflects that too. And so on and so on so ideal set list? Nonexistent.

    LOL, thats the whole point of rotating setlists. So they hit as much of the fanbase as possible with what they want. I beleive there used to be a thread for completely unrealistic custom setlists, like the one you described. We are not asking for impossible songs to be played, we are asking for rotating setlists, which they have done before.

     

    If LP decided to play another European tour next year, then i say the need for a rotating set -list with an altered set list is warranted to some degree. But, people will still bitch about it anyways which is all cool and predictable at this point.

    People will always bitch... Yes.

     

    when linkin park is onstage 5 feet in front of me, i couldnt give a shit less if they rotate thier setlists. all this talk about giving the band notes or harassing them online is kind of weird

    So giving the band a note at a fan M&G, or asking them to rotate sets on their websites is harrassment? Dear God...

     

    Fan #1 - "Yes, they finally played With You again on tour and it was just as awesome as I remember it"

     

    Fan #2 - "Yeah, I suppose, but I would've preferred if they played APFMH!"

     

    Fan #1 - "But dude, they also finally played No Roads Left and it was totally badass!"

     

    Fan #2 - "Yeah, but Across The Line would've be soooo much better to play than NRL"

     

    Fan #1 - "Wow man, you're tough to please aren't you?"

     

    Fan #2 - "Hey man, I paid my hard earned money for this ticket in the hope they'd play some of the older/rarer tracks instead of the same stuff they always play!"

     

    Fan #1 - "You know what, you're right! Stay right there while I ask the other 20,000 people at this show if they agree with you!!!"

     

    Morale of the story...there's no pleasing everyone and by everyone I mean the MILLIONS of LP fans around the world!

     

    You want rotating setlists or classic songs like With You or A Place for my head??? Then watch the Live in Texas dvd or go on YouTube!

     

    Rant over!

    Oh cool. Your rant is spam. What does it have to do with rotating setlists?

     

    I've already stated my opinion in another thread.

     

    I think it's very rude and disrespectful for people to be demanding a different setlist. Yeah, it would be pretty awesome for them to rotate it and add some new shit..but the bottom line is it's not their fault that you are attending multiple shows for a tour.

     

    Their setlist IS new and different. If their setlist was the same for 10 years on different tours, then I would understand. If you don't like the setlist, stop going to the multiple shows.

     

    If you enjoy going to the multiple shows, then appreciate what you have. That's simple math, really.

    I thought they'd appreciate how some fans have been touched by there music enough to come to multiple shows. Who the hell are you to tell people what they can and can't want? Oh man... that head ache's kicking in now.

     

    there are fans that haven't heard "numb" live even once because of geographic and various other reasons and you guys are complaining about them playing the same ~25 songs in your area... there are more important things to consider. Plus a casual fan would rather hear "in the end" then "with you". it's about making the most people happy, and singles do the job. it's the fact of the business.

    Like I've said... I've only been to one show and I still want rotating setlists. I'm sorry if you haven't been to a show yet, but that doesn't mean we all can't want something for the people who are going. (Or for those who collect the DSPs and live audio, like myself)

     

    My opinion is: let wealthy children cry !!! Posted Image

     

    This is the classic whim of a wealthy child, mooom !!! i want that LP made a Rotate Setlist pleasee, moooom !!!

     

    Enjoy the Shows and Shut Up !!! Linkin Park is not the classic band that change the setlist in every show!!! Did you not learned ? This band have 10 years, 10 years making similar Setlists, stop cry kids...

     

    This is so stupid...

    Oh look, the classic cry of a kid who has never been to a Linkin Park show, and therefore can't even say if the same set would get boring or not many nights in a row.

     

     

    --------------------------

     

     

    Ok, I don't want to quote anyone else. But just because we want them to rotate sets doesn't make us ungrateful. And just because you don't want it, doesn't mean others everywhere don't.

    The Rising Tied vs. Out of Ashes

    in Side Projects

    Posted

    The people saying putting Dead By Sunrise with Fort Minor would result in Linkin Park are just short sighted.

     

    But anyway... The Rising Tied by far. I was so much more excited for it, and I was playing it non stop for a very long time. The whole Fort Minor thing made me as excited as a new LP album would. I still listen to Fort Minor regularly.

     

    I enjoyed Out of Ashes, Let Down is one of my favorite songs of all time, but the version on OOA sucks. I found myself listening to only a couple songs by them a few months after release, and besides the odd song here or there, I barely listen to Out of Ashes anymore. As others have mentioned, the miing on this album sucks compared to The Rising Tied.
