lol Who would pay attention to this?

Hello, welcome to LPLive, enjoy your stay here. We're weirdos, but good people

This would be nice if they had thrown on Primo or something as a bonus track. Or an unreleased Castle of Glass demo or something.

The video edit would have been great, although knowing Warner, we may have another Shadow of the Day situation 🤣

Well... the wait is gonna be boring, but at least they have time to promote the MTM Boxset!!

MTM is not as huge as HT and Meteora but it's still very big. 

In MTM you still have big mainstream singles: Given Up, WID, BIO, LOATR, but if we enter ATS territory, how many huge songs do we have? WFTE perhaps? For me the remaining albums, for mainstream fans can be categorized as "wow, I didn't hear that song and it's pretty good!". I mean, I heard that tons of people were discovering The Catalyst now, 16 years later, during this tour, which is great, don't get me wrong!

But with the exception of Burn it Down, the albums from 2010 to 2017, are more hardcore fan focused. Those boxsets are going to be risky business.

She couldn't is a 5 minutes trip-hop instrumental-driven song. It couldn't have been more different from the typical Hybrid Theory sound. On top of that It was already known for years by the majority of hardcore LP fans so we didn't get as excited as for others unreleased songs. They also didn't make a shorter radio edit or a music video. So It was probably meant for Linkin Park fans only, they didn't give that Song a chance to blow up more.

In the last couple of years Minutes To Midnight has been performing really strong and currently 3 songs from MTM are in the top 10 of most popular LP songs (just like HT and Meteora). Yeah obviously a hidden song in the style of WID with Chester's vocals would be huge. But even a hard rock/metal song like Given Up or No More Sorrow or a alternative rock ballad like Leave Out All The Rest or Shadow Of The Day would work. The key to success is obviously being previously unreleased and featuring Chester. Even Friend Fire (that being in the style of OML was not exactly in huge demand from fans compared to others eras) proved to be successful enough. 

You might be right, I won't deny every possible success, what I think is that it is very unlikely that any other B-Side blows up like Lost did. Friendly Fire might be the best example, not huge, not ignored. 

need a CD variant, please

But imagine what NRL sung by Chester could be. Like, LOATR-ish rock ballad with CB on vocals 10 years after his passing

I also don't think tracks like Chances of Rain, Pretend to Be or Across The Line have any chance of blowing huge, far from that.

Only if they really have something special hiding there, something heavy-ish like Qwerty or more industrial/electronic like New Divide.

It comes to my mind "She Couldn't" it's a ballad, an unreleased track from the beloved Hybrid Theory and nobody outside the hardcore fans really cared about. Songs like you've mentioned would be the same case. It would have to be a track very similar to What I've Done, like Lost and Numb. So I'm with @silverwingon this one. 

We, we would be happy with anything. Imagine that the MTM Boxset ends up being a CD/DVD with a couple of bonus tracks and the Rock Am Ring show. For us means months of endless discussions, but we're a minority. We have to think about what the general audience wants, not us. 

Lost may had distorted the reality as it was unexpectedly huge, but the promo for the boxsets was pretty short for the general audience (not talking about hardcore fans who were speculating for months), maybe 2 months of promo or something. So there's a lot of room to promote MTM20 and not disturb the current band situation, it isn't gonna take a lot of time while they're in the studio. Even though they say they already started to write new songs, we all know that's the process is gonna drag.

Ps: Wild guess, but I don't think we're gonna have another Lost in terms of popularity. The Nu-Metal nostalgia was and it's at its peak and that really facilitated the success of the track. But as popular it was "the transformers song", I don't think anyone's craving that alt rock sound of 2007's Linkin Park 

The release in itself it's pretty much perfect. I don't mind having most of Numb, In the End and Bleed it Out sang by the audience, for fuck's sake, it's a live album, in Brazil!

But again, not to be disgraceful, having just half of the show with this quality and the fact that we all know that the shows were about to get even much better, it bothers me a lot. I still don't get the decision of the band of never release a full uncut show (besides box sets). Glad we had Buenos Aires 25 and Rock am Ring 2026 with that superb quality...

My favorite from all of them will be LOATR - fantastic. I don't understand a bit the way the first 10 seconds was edited, I mean the song starts from the crowd noise then there is an Iridescent stem fade in... of course that Iridescent stem is a part of the Kintsugi Transition, but they ended up not including it, so I would also remove the rest of that transition from the LOATR intro.

Don't tell me they've done another of those cutting content disasters like in Papercuts that was easily preventable...

Maybe we'll see Nene Royal together with Emily on One Step Closer

I'd say Heavy is the Crown. Fits better with that program

Maybe a dvd release of the film that includes the full uncut show?

FROM ZERO, FROM EVERYWHERE

Maybe they do an LPU release of a physical product (vinyl?) of all of these songs when they are finished? That would be cool.

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.

That's defenitely going to happen. At what scale? I don't know. I can imagine LP will be a constant stadium level band in europe from now on. Perphaps not at the amount of shows but I can't see them playing arenas in germany ever again. Only if their schedule allowes them to come here at fall/winter...

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

To be fair. There was a lot of nostalgia in this run. Nu-Metal was on a rise since 2023. Reported numbers underlined that. Nu-Metal/Rock from late 90s/early 2000s reached its 20 year peak when a lot of nostalgia hits and young teenagers from that time period now bring their kids to those shows. The crowd is much younger now. 

 

When LP played 9 arenas in Germany back in 2014, it was an pretty big tour for that kind of music. Now LP plays tons of stadium in germany and other Nu-Metal bands play like 6-7 big arenas in germay. Nu-Metal bands that played like 5-7k arenas 10 years ago. 

Papa Roach plans a big arena tour in germany. SOAD played 2 big concerts. Limp Bizkit, Korn and Deftones all gotten bigger than ever. Due to nostalgia and social media. 

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...

They should put all of these on a vinyl when they're all out, so we get From Zero Live Around the World.

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.

No idea why this band has such an aversion to releasing full shows on live albums. Lol. 

Been complaining about that since 2008...

I was literally going to say this, its great to finally have a good quality recording with Mike's guitar shining. I dont get all the whining, you guys have hella versions with the octaves mixed up.

Its also great to not have OSC for once

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.

We need LP's full attention moving to MTM 20 the minute Unshatter is released. The very next day get it rolling.

 

At bare minimum: Webster Hall's theater showing of unreleased "making of MTM" footage + Rock am Ring 2007 + a merch selection. That should be the minimum celebration around this amazing album.

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