Full show coming soon.
-
Just around the venue. Mike isn't here but the crew have sound checked Welcome, It's Goin' Down and Dolla.
-
I've started a trend here...
-
Just about to board my plane now. I would like to know, if I were to do a vlog, would anyone actually watch it?
-
Thanks Soul!
Also...Congratulations on being selected to attend the
Fort Minor Meet & Greet with Mike Shinoda!

Welcome everyone, recognise me? No?! No-one asking me "Where'd You Go?" - Well, I guess I didn't give you 100% reason to Remember The Name when I took the High Road... Anyway, Right Now, I'm about to give you a preshow post for the first of four Fort Minor shows in Europe this tour: Copenhagen, Denmark.
So it's time to kick off the 3-date Fort Minor side-tour, featuring the humble Mike Shinoda to promote his new single Welcome, and to give something back to the fans. The first show is on the 26th in Copenhagen, Denmark. The other three shows are both in Germany: Berlin on 2nd September, Dusseldorf on 5th September for Rock Im Sektor, of which Linkin Park are also playing that day too. What's interesting about this is that when FM played at Summer Sonic 2006, Mike swore he would never do a Fort Minor show and a Linkin Park show on the same day again. I guess he evolved, like Charmander. The final show is the newly added London date, which I didn't think would happen, which prompted me to book flights and a hotel to another country...
So, what are people's expectations of the set? Will we see the same set as LA, or will Mike throw in some surprises? New FM songs? Any live debuts tonight? Will Mike rap any verses over other tracks, like he once did over 75 Bars by The Roots, with a verse from I Have Not Begun? Or maybe rap a verse of Ryu or Tak like in Believe Me in LA? Any oldies, like Red To Black? It's no doubt that in 10 years Shinoda's singing voice has become stronger and sweeter, and to hear him singing on something like Red To Black is something I'd personally be very interested to hear.
Mike has included a number of Linkin Park songs or verse in the set, including Waiting For The End, Hands Held High, Castle of Glass, Until It Breaks, and When They Come For Me? Can we expect more of this? Or can we expect it vice versa, maybe scrapping Castle of Glass Experience Version for Castle of Glass/Kenji mashup. I prefer to label it Castle of Kenji...
Let's talk about the venue! It has a floor, and a stage. So what, big whoop, wanna fight about it? I've personally attended this venue whilst working for Julien-K at [this show] - it's quite a nicely sized venue but with a hella-tiny stage. I have actually seen very little interaction as to who is attending the show, so I'm very curious to see how packed out the venue is. This could be really intimate!
This will be my first time seeing Fort Minor in nearly 10 years! I caught them in November 2005 in London, Mean Fiddler which has sadly been closed and demolished, where many songs got their debut. Maybe I can bring some of the same luck to Denmark, huh guys?
I do intend to let everyone know the set after the show, but I unfortunately would rather be front row dripping with sweat than stuck on Twitter I'm afraid!Don't forget to sign our DSP petition, where we are currently trying to get Linkin Park to release older shows. The band has a lot of recorded shows from 2001-2006 as well as 2013-2015...they still record every show they play, and we want them to know fans are requesting them. Being able to relive your concert over-and-over again is priceless...if you agree, sign the campaign here and spread the word!
For the 2015 Linkin Park tour schedule and setlists, click here. For the Fort Minor tour page and upcoming dates, click here.I'm about to Slip Out The Back. So, if you're there, don't be Petrified, come say hi! Spare a Dolla and grab a beer with me, just keep in mind I do not smoke Cigarettes (I'm asthmatic). Everyone else, Cover and Duck, 'cause we about to erupt!
And I apologise, I know these puns are just terrible, Believe Me. Much love.

I'd like to bump this; I would love the MP3's to this.

Linkin Park has not allowed smoking or alcohol backstage since at least 2009, possibly earlier. That applies to every show they've been a part of. Of course, they can't always control what goes on in the other bands' dressing rooms (like Incubus probably smoked pot when they were at KROQ AAC).
Astoria 2007 there were signs everywhere about no smoking. This was before the indoor-smoking ban landed in UK. I remember a guy lighting a cig despite of it and was threatened to be removed from the venue for the night before the show started. So it's definitely been a deal for a while now.
I remember discussing the situation on linkinparkforums.com and people joked saying Rob had cancer. Very tasteful joking.

Consider this a warning for tomorrow's preshow! It's gonna be HUGE!
-
maybe Papercut was only in the highlights of this festival on tv... who knows^^
Possible, however it doesn't look like it's from a highlights show.
-
God damn, Mark, your preshows are sooooo long!
-
When you book tickets, flights, and an expensive (yet nice. quite posh) hotel because a performance isn't coming to your country, and then 3 days before you fly out a local date is added...
Needless to say I'm excited for both shows! -
Flying from London to Copenhagen Wednesday, and then going to the London show! Nice!
-
Well this is sudden! What can we expect from this?
Maybe Mike is announcing some Linkin Park album news? A new song for Download To Donate?A London Fort Minor show, as it's being announced via BBC1 UK? A new Fort Minor track?EDIT: The announcement is confirmed to be something related to Fort Minor.
Stay tuned, and share your thoughts! Just over 4 hours to go...
Tune in to Radio 1 Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 today at 8:30pm GMT for a special announcement from Mike Shinoda.

I don't know the song too well (thankfully) but that wouldn't surprise me that Mike would play it, and then asking for bites haha.
-
It's got to be a popular song he plays, as he says 'no biters? Come on, sing' - however I don't recognise it.
-
I would man, but I think there'd be a licensing issue.
I did a JK/FM mashup too but it sucks haha!
-
Some say acoustic version of a song, others say instrumental track. I say instrumental acoustic version of Not Alone. How do you like them apples?
Wait, you don't?!
-
INB4 Astat comes in correcting Brad on how he plays the solo differently from the tab he made.
He definitely drops down to the 3rd fret for the left hand part over the F5 chords on the studio recording:
Brad did mention he had to re-learn what he was playing in studio!
-
So who's in?
I'll be flying from London the morning of the concert and have a hotel booked a stone's throw from the venue. Will then be flying home the following day.
Anyone up for a meet up?
-
Yep. The whole show is a M&G.
Yep. The whole show is a M&G.

Sucks that Mike does not wanna do 2 shows a day, otherwise Fort Minor would have been excellent for Rock Im Sektor and Rock'N'Heim... and like that we also could've gotten rid of RTN/Welcome during the LP set and get another LP song instead.
Anyways, I will be in Copenhagen!
See you in Copenhagen!
-
Going to try going to Copenhagan. Anyone else coming?

Regarding the Sektor show. If FM has a 30 minute slot then surely he will remove RTN and Welcome from the FM set and keep them in LP? That way, full LP and full FM set ultimately.
