bloodbath

I see them doing a "From Zero: All Around the World" for streaming

As we all know, LP isn't one of those bands that they tour for the sake of it (except for 2009), for sure he know that he has a gap of 1 or 2 years until LP start touring again, until then he can do whatever he wants. The conversation must be something like "we will call you in about 18 months, go touring anywhere else if you wish and we will talk then".

I still have the theory that, if it was just exclusively up to the band, they would have stopped releasing the CDs long before 2016 and they still kept doing it because they felt as an obligation to the fans. I've always felt that the last CDs were kinda of scrapping the bottom of the barrel, like "let's give them those leftovers and move to something else". The quality of the demos in the recent boxets, for me proved that the band wanted to regain control of what do they release and how, specially knowing the perfectionist nature of the band. And the new era of the band got rid of the "contract" they had with us, the fans. Despite all of this I hope they reconsider and give us something, even though it's not in the same way

Signed, hope it helps. The current LPU doesn't have anything meaningful to pay 75€

Seems like LPU still on hiatus since 2017, not bad.

For sure, they know that here in Europe can make "easy money", much like Metallica. I don't see them focusing that much in the USA because there are bigger fishes in the pond. And the rest of the world, well, depending on logistics and that stuff. But going back to the main point, they are gonna be an Euro centric band

There's also another point besides that one, and it's the reunión factor fading away. Let's say that 5/10 people that went to a LP show did it because they wanted to know how the reunited band sounds now, but how many of them will return? They've seen the band, and that's all. Perhaps just 3 of them return and the remaining 2 are people like me who didn't had the chance to catch them during this period. I certainly doubt that the next era it's going to be a failure, but those numbers are going to be hard to equal...

Seems to me more like a streaming thing

Man, they could release a 4 hour live album if they want. I mean, we know that LP 1.0 recorded a lot of shows, but now they're like "we have tons of stuff ready to go and we want you to know that".

That's it guys, Linkin Park is now an European band. We'll take care of them.

Been complaining about that since 2008...

Not having the whole show it's not the end of the world, but you know... It kinda piss me off. Another wasted oportunity for a live album.

Speaking of 20th anniversaries... Are you guys preparing something for the anniversary of this site...?

during the interviews in the studio they throw you paper reports, pens and USBs PS: We all know that in a couple of months everyone we're going to make edits of the Sao Paulo streaming show with the official audio.

Maybe I'm closed minded, but I do prefer to say to my fans "here's the whole thing perfectly mixed and mastered", rather than "here's a half concert, if you wanna see the full show, IDK, go to YouTube or whatever", seems lazy to me

Do we know if the band is allergic or something to release full shows? Asking for medical advice.

same here, someone has it?

Maybe Mike is watching over here...

4 Rock in Rio 2026 They have their marvelous tradition of cutting songs from live releases for whatever reason, I'm not very hopeful

He almost crashed out a marketing campaign crafted for years in 5 minutes. He deserves his own linkinpedia page

Glad that we have skipped that era, but to be honest I remember the feeling of the Post Traumatic era of "happy we have something, but it's not the real thing". Some of you were excited with the tour and all that, but I really didn't connect with that era. The worst part was visiting this place during 2021-2022, it was a desert. I mean, during 2020 we had the COVID and the HT20 anniversary, but those two years were of absolute dreadful silence. I was in terms of accepting that LP would be just a legacy act and nothing else. My biggest hope during that era, the Meteora box set, and nothing else. So during 2023 and 2024 it was strange, because you could feel in the air that there was something in the background, but not enough to get excited. For me, not much happened during these years, but more that I could expect.

Wow! Really? What happened?

It's been really great to have you here

They almost went folk, so I wouldn't mind...

But it was credible, I mean, for me was an extension of the Post Traumatic era but with more people involved. If Mike continued his solo career it wouldn't have been rare.
