    Regarding a new album...

    Do you really think Mike would have spent this year teasing, produce merch, go on Conan, create an Instagram and Twitter, relaunch the FM site, for the sake of just ONE song?

    It's all promotion for what's in store. It's to create publicity so he doesn't just release an album that falls on it's face because it's his first album in 10 years; an entirely new generation of fans.

    You are right it is slightly overrated BUT still an epic live song, the major problem is still that they cut Hunting Party songs while being on the Hunting Party Tour and after this touring cycle is done the chances of any of the other songs being performed live are very slim.

    This tour was the perfect opportunity to add more Hunting Party to the set, which everyone expected and they even said so several times. There's absolutely no reason for them to not add more songs but they did the exact opposite by cutting some.

    They were already lazy for the European tour, they didn't take the time to rehearse new stuff, I can understand that in some way and thought that was ok if they did something new for the US tour. But they didn't! They had plenty of time to learn new stuff, change the sets, do something different. Adding FTI and APFMH is such an easy change, they could add it mid tour without rehearsing.

    I agree. We know they're not going to drop big single songs, but to add APFMH in exchange for songs of an album they're trying to promote is redundant. The Hunting Party tour...

    Stefano had "have no fuckin idea who the fuck I just shake hands with" face at the MFR table on the first floor. Really? Guess Lego took its toll hahah Canal Guy was too busy chatting in the EE line on the first floor :P Also just so some people know aka the fat guy in 1st row 416 block: a concert is an event you have a good time on, not a fuckin pub or diner, if you want to get wasted like you did go to a DyingDuck Pub, if you want to eat shitload of stuff go to KFC. Same thing applies for your 3 friends, one of them being a chick who was standing 40% of the show, just on her stupid cellphone, taking stupid selfies and just not paying attention. One of you did check lplive for setlist so you should know exactly who you are. Pub brits from block 416 :)

    Haha you saw me? You should have come and chatted for a bit! I met up with Stefano after the show which was nice, been very good friends with him for about 4 or 5 years now.

     

    Heading to the show late tonight, have seated tickets with the fiancée, the old man and step mother.

    The Hunting Party European Tour has reached its final destination… London!

    Hi everyone! I’ll be doing your preshow post today, it’s nice to be back! Tonight will be Linkin Park’s 5th time at the London O2 Arena (previously Millennium Dome), and tomorrow will be their 6th. What’s interesting is that this is the third time Linkin Park have announced a show at the venue, and had to add a second date due to high demand.

    What’s also interesting is that the O2 Arena ALWAYS brings some surprises! On 2008.01.28, whilst putting on a solid show that opened with the well-received curtain drop over ‘What I’ve Done (AMBO intro)’, Mike pulled a surprise and did a short and quick cover of ‘Umbrella’ by Rihanna on his piano. The set ended with a double encore, the second encore sporting without a doubt the most anticipated Linkin Park song ever, ‘A Place For My Head’, and finishing up with ‘One Step Closer.’ One night later, the band decided to do a last minute change on their setlist, voting out ‘What I’ve Done’ and ‘Pushing Me Away (Piano Version)’, and replacing them with ‘In Between’ and ‘What I’ve Done w/AMBO’ respectively. These two shows closed the entire Europe tour, which has become a recurring event upon every visit to this venue.



    Two and a half years later, the band returned on the 10th and 11th of November (just over 4 years ago, wow!), of which the latter was a day to remember. Not only was it the first EVER LPU Summit, it was also the debut of ‘Leave Out All The Rest’ acoustic at the summit, first ever ‘The Messenger’ acoustic performance of just 2 band members, and the debut of a completely new setlist. The tour had been running on just one setlist throughout, the only real difference being what song being performance during the bridge for ‘Bleed It Out’ (‘A Place For My Head’ vs ‘Burning In The Skies’… what would you choose?!), so it was nice to see a new setlist, and fresh songs for the tour such as ‘From The Inside’ and ‘Leave Out All The Rest’. ‘Points of Authority’ was also scheduled to make a comeback at this show, but was dropped for some unknown reason. Before the encore, Mike Shinoda invited 2 fans from the LPU Summit to come and play Mike’s & Brad’s guitars for ‘Faint.’ Whilst I am super jealous of them personally, it was amazing to see a friend of mine jamming with the world’s biggest band!



    Linkin Park skipped UK for the entirety of the LIVING THINGS tour, and only returned to the country in June for Download Festival, where they performed the almighty Hybrid Theory in full, front to back, for the first time ever! But London has always been a great crowd to the band, and I can guarantee they are gonna be just as rowdy as you’d hope!

    Last night, Aaron Pauley, the bassist for the support band of the tour, Of Mice And Men, joined the band during the Ballad Medley, reportedly during ‘Iridescent’, lending some of his vocal talents. We will have a video and more information for you as soon as we can, so stay tuned!!

    So what is going to happen tonight and tomorrow night? Are Linkin Park going to carry on with tradition and surprise us all with something fresh for this tour at all? Will they revive the fan favourite ‘A Place For My Head’? Will Mike jam ‘High Voltage’ into his solo, or ‘Reading My Eyes’ over ‘Bleed It Out’? Your guess is as good as mine! All I can promise is that it’s going to be a show you are NOT going to want to miss! Don’t forget to check us on Twitter for your setlist updates, and we hope you enjoy the show! Let us know if you’re going!

    Enjoy this old gem from 2001, which made it onto the LP Underground 2.0 CD!
