    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"

    One of the most annoying things is that Emily leaves the microphone for the crowd during "One Step Closer" at the bridge section, especially when she is supposed to scream, "Shut up, I'm talking to you." Instead of delivering the line herself, she lets the audience sing it. Chester never did that during his 17 years with Linkin Park.
    I have listened to many covers of the song and attended several tribute band performances, and they never leave out that part. It makes me wonder whether Emily is unable to scream properly, struggles to yell with enough power, or simply runs out of breath.In my view, this is a waste of potential. There were other singers who could have been a better choice. Mike has said that talent was not the primary criterion and that camaraderie was more important. If that was truly the intention, then this comeback feels more like an attempt to capitalize on nostalgia than a genuine musical return.Even though the songs are performed in lower keys, she still seems unable to deliver certain screams or hit some of the required notes consistently. She should work on improving her screaming technique; otherwise, I don't think this reunion will have long-term success. If things continue this way, the band could face difficulties in maintaining momentum over the next few years and may be they will part their ways of disband

    Dude, we're in 2026, you're 2 years late for the "it's not Linkin Park without Chester" train.

    you forgot to add Felipes legendary exclusive of Rock Im Park 2001

    this is a MUST WATCH performance

     

    pretty sure that its 100x better than RAR 01

    For me the 2001 and 2012 shows were better than their RAR counterparts.

    This film has the potential to go big in theaters, if I will be right, and if it will be making an appropriate amount of money, all the time, then we will not see it anywhere else or in any other format for a long time.

     

    That will be just my 2 cents for everyone already requesting to be released on DVD and on some others.

    It going to take a time to have a physical release, I can wait

     

    Kudos to the band for making this risk instead of just releasing a live show and call it a day. 

  4. Seems to me that's gonna be a film about LP's Rebirth. From the bleak ending of 2017 to the triumphant return of 2024. Now it makes sense to record a show so soon in the touring cycle. 

     

    Will we ever see the full show? Now that I see the trailer, I don't think so. I think it was never conceived that way and maybe because of that they allowed the Livestream.

     

    Best case scenario we will have the full show as "Unshattered OST" with the audio of 2CDs 

     

    Still I don't lose the hope of having another full official live recordings of 2025 (2026 is yet to see)

    I have mixed feelings about this 

    I would love to have a documentary about the band's return but I also need a full show.

     

    What about an extra cd with a full live set? 

     

    Same feelings here. Even though I think the 2025 were a little bit better I rather have this than nothing 

  5. Hi guys, long time no see! Since things has been quite here for a while until we have the European tour, I wanted to ramble a little bit. As many of you I'm a big fan of live albums and bootleg recordings, and as I was thinking about how badly I want a proper live album from this era, I remembered the issues I had with previous live records/DVDs of the band. And I'm not talking about the bonus shows we have with the box sets (and I do hope we have more in the future) or the bonus DVDs from special editions, but standalone releases.

     

    Live in Texas: I get it, back in 03 Linkin Park was Warner's favourite band and they had to control everything from the band. The show sounds great, but to sterile, too perfect: Almost no banter, no cuss words, they played like machines, not humans. I get why many people still saying why this record is overdubbed in studio. For me the Veterans Stadium show is what Live in Texas should have been. Not to mention why they decided to cut 5.fucking.songs. from the CD because potato. 

     

    Road to Revolution: So close, but ruined for some questionable decisions. RTR really sounds much more organic, but they decided to use the cheap trick of cutting songs and putting as bonus tracks. For fuck's sake, you're not an underground band, you have plenty of resources to take the filming crew to other shows in that PR Europe Tour and having other songs as a bonus tracks like In Pieces. If the reason is to make a coherent tracklist between DVD and CD... Just give us the DVD, we will rip off the audio, I don't want a half assed live record, I want the full experience. And by the way. I love collision course, but I would rather prefer the full live version of Faint at the end of the show and save us from that uninteresting half version of Numb/Encore. Again, invite Jay Z to other show and include him as an easter egg.

     

    One More Light Live: I get the reason why this album was born, as a Chester tribute. I get the concept behind it: If you're releasing your softest album, you have to put songs akin to that, OSC or The Catalyst would have break the feeling of the album. Maybe it's because I've never connected with One More Light, but I don't know, for me it's like having the chips but not the burger. 

     

    And that's all, I just wanted to spit some hate on the internet! I understand if you don't agree with me

    I guess in times when multiple people film whole shows with their phone the appeal of the whole thing went down dramatically. 25 years ago, bootlegs were difficult to obtain or even create in the first place.

    But nonetheless a cool little thing that appeared here. Too bad the sound quality is not the best.

    What a great find!

     

    25 years later.

    Nice job again my brother

     

    Quickly edit: Is it just me, or does it feel like the new era/generation of fans don’t really give a shit about setlists, show info, recordings, releases, etc.?

    Not complaining at all — just a random thought haha.

    I remember when getting new info or even a setlist confirmation like this used to feel REALLY cool to see.

     

    @Trumtram @LPLStaff

     

     

    You're both right, when you have 30 live full recordings of the same show the scarcity feeling disappears, you don't really appreciate it. As you said, back then finding a full show in good quality was the holy grail. Not to mention when it was an SBD...

    Mine is that Already Over was released as a decoy or a fake out to prevent leaks of the LP comeback from happening. 

    Some people here though that Already Over hinted the end of Linkin Park, so I'm with you on this one. It worked as a decoy whether Mike likes it or not.

    Not this year, but if, IF they do a MTM box set next year I could conceivably see it on it, even if it didn’t actually take place during the main MTM cycle. I base this theory off of how Metallica released 2 1995 shows on their box set of Load recently and that was also an “escape the studio” tour.

    I have the same feeling, before that I completely discarded SS06 as part of the box set.

     

    Also, I still think that, despite LP 2.0 and a future album, we will have a box set, although with a limited promo

    Westminster in 2000 is one that comes to mind, I think. I love this short-lived era of the band. They literally had a couple of months of being a small act before they took off. It's insane and pretty much unparalleled.

    When was the exact tour when they really got big?

    The band probably didn't release it (or the Roxy 2000 show) because Scott is on bass.

    I don't get it, why releasing a show with a session bass player is such a big deal?

    Love that Dave once in a while talks about Chester, its really weird that the rest of the band members barely mention ROB.

    Talking about Rob wont give clicks to any news outlet i wonder when someone is going to ask some deep questions about Rob.

    Only the hardcore fans care about Rob. Not that the casual fan despise him at all, it's just as someone gets the job done behind the kit, they don't care who is it.

    If they are still playing his songs they should honor his legacy by releasing old demos w Chester on vocals it wouldn't hurt anyone.

     

    LP2 is nice and awesome i loved them too but Chester's voice is the reason if why im still a hardcore fan after almost 25 years.

    I agree with you BUT, we should wait a little bit longer, LP2 barely is year and a half old, and I think that releasing anything now would be detrimental for the band. If we've waited 20 years to hear the Rob Drum Song, we can wait too to hear some more stuff with Chester.

    Yes...I would expect many more hits from back then to be there, actually.

     

    You are right about Lost and Friendly Fire, and there will definitely be more hits from the other albums, too. I just hope they will feel well enough at some point to release them.

    Some people took it as "Lost is a mediocre song" but my take was and is that Lost was a huge success due to nostagia and right timing. 20+ years has passed since the nu-metal peak in the mainstream world and now it's "cool" again to reivindicate that genre. 10 years ago that wasn't possible. Second, we millenians we've reached out that age (around 30s) where we start to idealize that music of our youth. I'm a hardcore fan, like many of you, but many of my peers just listened the first two records (three if we count Reanimation) and gave up during MTM because, basically as a teenagers we didn't want anything to do with our "childish music". Which takes me to my third point: The song has this classic LP vibe, so many of those who ignored the band beyond 2007 now they feel connected the band again.  That third point didn't happened with She Couldn't, it wasn't your classic LP song, as simple as that. Not even the pandemic helped She Couldn't to have more visibility. 

     

    Based on this, we have two roads ahead of us:

     

    If the new song it's a What I've Done part 2, as Lost was similar to Numb, then yeah, you'll probably have another huge hit, since WID, BIO and New Divide are basically the songs post-2004 that kept the interest of the mainstream crowd.

     

    On the other hand, if we're talking about a Blackbirds, In Pieces, No Roads Left esque song, then you're for a big disappointment for the big crowds, and could happen like with She Couldn't, people could care less.
