The MVP will always be Jay Gordon

 

Thanks man. 

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. 

haven't seen it, thanks!

Matt retired from Music (and Mike stopped following him)

Alex has been awesome tho, monster guitar player, and he seemed to LOVE the gig. Im sure he will be back

Wow! Really? What happened?

I have visited LPLive pretty much every week day since 2020 (maybe earlier) seeking some kind of confort. Not knowing whether or not LP would come back was excruciating.

 

So, as Chester sings, a fire needs a space to burn. Thank you to this community for keeping the flame alive.

I rarely post or chat, but I read everything. From all the Mike stuff to meaningless GD discussions, from rage quits to exiciting rumors, From Zero to a 100 shows.

 

I love this band more than words can describe.

 

Thank you LP for allowing me make new friends and visit new places. Thank you to everybody who works with the band for being awesome.

 

This is not the end, this is just the begining

It's been really great to have you here

I don't mind if they go full on New Wave/80s Pop-Rock for the next album.

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

All the "Mike Shinoda And Friends" booking thing in 2023 was just LP afterall

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. 

Thank you to everyone involved. Seems that those years and months of absolute silence are long gone... The only bad thing about this era is that it's gonna be hard to surpass. What will be next, besides the Documentary and the soundtrack? A live album, the MTM box set, more Mike solo music? Whatever, it's going to be great

We had figured out it was Emily by that time because Adam and a few band members followed her on Instagram, Mike liked her posts but did not follow her, etc.... it was too obvious haha. And someone DM'd us "The band is secretly rehearsing to play live under the name Cannonball" (which is what their wifi is still called on tour) + there were some pretty strong rumors from the Sao Paulo Meteora 20 event that stadium shows had been booked for later in 2024 in Brazil. It all made too much sense after the Billboard article lol

you kept the secret well hidden

I haven't been in any show, unfortunately, last two years have been pretty rough for me, personally. So, for me the best moment of the tour has been this forum, the endless discussions, the expectance before every show... Glad to have shared with you guys, some days it was one of the few good things that I had. Like many of you, the comeback show feels like six months ago and it's been almost two years... Remember where we were back in july 2024? Disappointed that the biggest news in the LP world was the Bleed it Out video in HD. Little we know. It's been the tour I've had the most fun following and for me, the best as a whole since the ATS era.

Totally crazy that we got an album with billions of streams and a 100 dates world tour, and 2 years ago this time we were talking about the possibility of a comeback MAYBE in some form in a remote future. Crazy crazy crazy. 24 months ago we didn't know if LP was still a thing and now they are bigger than THP - OML era   

For me has been the best tour since the A Thousand Suns cycle, period 

What's the difference between rock werchter and parklife?

I actually dislike LP2 fan shows they all look the same, sound the same and are extremely easy to obtain. 

 

Old bootlegs had its own personality specially the old stuff, its so awesome how the acoustic changes from show to show, different mics etc. 

 

I love the 2000-2001 bootlegs so raw, powerful. 

 

From the new stuff i might watch a special performance or something but thats it. 

and that's how you make a good point

Depeche Mode recorded their 101th show of one of their tours and release it as a live album, and Mike is a huge DM fan, just throwing ideas...

probably the kindest comment recently about me.

 

being totally honest I didn't mean to talk shit it's just interesting to ready every kind of opinion.

 

it kinda reminds me at my 2025 show which I think that the vocals weren't loud enough.

 

I know that im like the only guy who likes to point certain flaws but I don't hate the band I just love to have a discussion. 

 

discussions about lp have happened since day 1 probably not many of you remember when people talked shit about certain performances back in the old days.

 

it's not something new.

We don't get anywhere with insults, to be honest. It's not about pointing out failures, it's about how you communicate it. I've seen harshest criticisms over here, so I know that you're not an anti Emily or something like that, but sometimes you sound like that even though it's not your intention. 

1. It's been one of the greatest comebacks in modern music and one of their best tours, it has exceeded all expectations 

2. Can't believe that two years ago we were completely in the dark, let alone thinking about a lengthy tour ahead of us. The biggest news was the Papercuts compilation and the Bleed it Out HD video.

3. Still have the feeling that the Warner Studios show was 6 months ago, not 21. Everything has happened so fast, they have to do a mid cycle tour, like in 2009.

It fucking kills me not to be there and you post this shit. I think you're a good guy, but you really should think twice before posting that kind of awful stuff. 

Wish you really enjoyed the first show and the second one is even better tonight! I hope that the good reception of this show leads the promoters to book more shows in the future. This is the third time I miss them... Fingers crossed to catch them on the next tour.

we need a live album from 2025/26

how ironic, the how that opened a couple of tours now it's going to (almost) close one

To all my fellow Spanish members, I really hope you enjoy the shows (I'm absolutely envious hahahaha). Unfortunately last year has been one of the worst periods in my life and I can't make it, so celebrate it for me!

This 100%.

 

It wouldn't make sense because they meant the Hybrid Theory era, roughly 1997-2002

Exactly, it wasn't about the album itself, but about a time capsule.

Never heard this take from anyone in the fanbase until now from what I remember, to be quite honest. I really enjoyed the show, mainly due to the oldest songs that weren't played for 11-12 years at the time, I wish they would've done it more times with other albums. 

I mean, I didn't tried to be edgy or a contrarían, but knowing for a long time that the band has never care about nostalgia, that movement seemed too manufactured for me. Hybrid theory's 14th anniversary...? Why not 17th? The band barely rehearsed By Myself and Forgotten, for example and it noticed. 

BUT if someone like you really enjoyed the performance, that's great! This is just my opinion

They would never tell you but I'm sure that they would have rather prefer to play their regular show. We're talking about the band who decided to play their risky ATS set back in 2011!! 

Am I the only one who wasn't a fan of the 2014 show? For the the HT performance sounded too forced.

I mean, for example this song, mixed by Ethan. It was released on expanded edition, deluxe edition of FZ. So my question to some of you is, do you think this will be the exact same version on the soundtrack? What do you think about the mix?

It would probably be the same. I have the theory it was included as a "proof of concept": If the mix is ok, if fans like it, also for them as a guidelines about how they mixed the recording year and a half ago, like "oh yeah, we did it this way"
