bloodbath

Do you yell at each post "Chester forever" "this is a lack of respect"...? No? This wasn't meant for you

The obsession that some part of the fanbase has with Chester is quite toxic. You had a 3 hours show, an entire album and tour dedicated to grief. Almost two years of it, I think we all had enough. I mean, the moment they mention Chester, you guys are going to demand more and more. They have been in hiatus for a long time for a very good reason, and that's is, to start all over again with no attachments to the past. I really hope that none of you have to deal with the death of a relative until you're mature enough.

That era is gonna be stained forever. I think it's unfortunate for those of you who enjoyed the record but it is what it is

Very interesting takes: The Post Traumatic tour was pretty sad, TBH, Mike and his band were pretty great, don't get me wrong,but having 50 shows or so with bleak lyrics, stories about Chester and that feeling of "we'll never get to hear certain songs again", when they played LP covers... If was a necessary step, but it was fucking hard. For that same reason I completely understand that they don't wanna to play OML and other songs from that era. After so many years of grieving, nobody wants to drag out this great moment we're living.

Well, for me it the shortened versions were another variation of certain songs, after having multiple intros, outros... It would have worked on a in-between albums tour cycle (much like 2009), not for a whole world tour

Thank you!!

No

I really don't get that kind of shitty tricks from the labels. It's a show from 1992 released by the festival, if you could make any profit of it you would have done it already

This has been one of the best tour ever from the band. The US tour 2 has gonna have a hard time keeping up the level

What I would do: showing up the release in theaters, then release a different show (Wembley, Berlin...) for an official DVD and include songs that aren't on the 2025 setlist anymore (LOATR, BTH...) as bonus tracks.

Finishing with In the End and Faint, that's so 2007... Love it!!

One of the best sets of the tour, no joke

I get what you said, but dozens of bad quality YT videos won't "hurt" the comeback but a decent quality pro shot will, it has zero logic. The tour has been VERY lucrative and successful, we're not in September 24. This is just control freaks on board.

It's pretty absurd. The supposed recording of Sao Paulo for cinemas didn't stop the Brazilian TV to show a Livestream. I really don't get the point of forbid livestreams like we were in 2007

It was too early in the set, where the most energetic songs should be. Perhaps in the mid-later part of the show as a transition from ballad/slow songs to the aggressive last part of the main set of opening the encore would have been better. But that's just me

GATS and ALITS were great live. Even more, I'll die in this hill once more, ALITS would be a great show closer

A Live CD/Vinyl would be great. I understand that being a light day show doesn't looks so spectacular for a DVD, but since LP professionally records many of their shows, any chance for this to be the case?

Time to record that live show...

That's my biggest complain, they weren't a band with 20+ years of history and a bunch of filler albums to be relying on a greatest hits setlist. They've always taken huge risks and during 2012-15 I have the feeling that some of the band didn't believe in the new material

Let's be clear from the start, I was a fan of the infamous DJ set, even though I know it's despised by many, but stick with me, I think I can prove that wasn't so terrible as some of you think. It was the first time that the band divided the set in acts, and even though I consider the One More Light tour the blueprint of the current FZ tour (as both have long setlists with small variations each shoe, rather than 3 or 4 very distinct sets), the DJ set planted the seed with its acts. Some argue that the main problem was to have this kind of show when you're presenting your heaviest album to date, and while it certainly this is partially to blame, the real reason was this: Expectations Let's rewind back to 2009. After a fantastic tour with numerous setlists, they did a small one during summer just because they wanted to (yes, I know about New Divide but one song doesn't justify a tour). Despite have one unique setlist I haven't seen many detractors of that setlist. Why almost nobody complain about having just one setlist? Because people knew that it was just a short tour and they didn't expect that much. It was just a "bonus" tour, so whatever it comes will be appreciated. But having that same setlist for an entire year after having rotating setlist? That doesn't work at all. Look at the early ATS European tour, how it started and how it ended. If they had played the DJ tour during an hypothetical "Recharged" tour with 20 dates or so, it would have been remembered under a very different light. But essentially having the same setlist (with a couple of variations here and there) for a lengthy year, is exhausting... Specially after three tours with numerous variations. Why they didn't change the setlist at all until 2015? This is just a theory but first, I think the DJ was Mike's final culmination of endless live variations of songs over the years. Even though they still create new intros and variations, none of them haven't gone so far as in that setlist, and obviously you don't renounce to your "masterpiece" so soon. And second, the setlist was doomed to fail, born under an album that most of the band didn't believe in, the easiest thing was to past through the tour dates and call it a day. They didn't rehearse most of the album because most of them weren't on board with the new songs. Even in 2015 when they returned to an old format, we had the same issue of one setlist, but I think that by that time, LP was a tired band. And even though I'm not a huge fan of OML, the tour proved that they had a new energy and enthusiasm. The DJ set was a great idea, but by all means, born under the worst circumstances.

One of the biggest flaws in LP's history was to barely reschedule cancelled shows, with one particular winter tour being the prime example of it. I'm glad that in this new era they aim to correct that

Very happy with 2025 so far. Long shows, lot of tracks played... The more we see the more I believe they should release a proper live album.

2017 wasn't also streamed? I think the days of Warner overprotecting the LP brand are long gone. We have a month ahead full of shows, how lucky we are.

I have a rule when it comes to live releases: You can edit, but don't add/record anything that wasn't there in the first place. Let me give you an example, cleaning up the mix to sound better: crunchier guitars, making the audience audible if it's buried among the instruments... You get the point. But when it comes to use parts from other performances if you fuck up something or rerecord vocals in studio because your throat was sore... That's where I draw the line. This is my personal take, I don't expect anyone else to like it, or to be the right perspective on this matter. LP hasn't gone so far to make a KISS, if you know what I mean. But when the bootleg and the official live recording have notable differences, it doesn't sits well to me.

Would they have the privilege to play 2 hours?
