bloodbath

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?

I was at that venue in 2023 watching Motley Crue and it's too small for a band such as LP. I don't expect them to be as popular as they are in Central Europe, but the promoters have been too cautious. I'm pretty sure they would have sold out the Wizing Arena, which for those outside Spain, it's similar to the O2 Arena in London in terms of capacity.

I completely forgot that the tickets went on sale today. And them I found this. Fucking fantastic.

I would dare to say that almost all hardcore Spanish fans we're in this website. I couldn't go to the 2017 because I was about to move out to Croatia for the summer, but speaking out with some people who attended, the feeling they gave me was "yeah, that was the band I listened to back when I was a kid/I watched them for nostalgia since I was around". We're far away from the numbers of Germany or Portugal. If the management almost always ignores Spain when it comes to tours, must be for a good reason. That's life.

I hope soon enough we have a good quality version of the show

Es que lo vuestro con la champions no ha sido normal

We're not friends

The Spain LP community is small but noisy. Unfortunately, LP here is still viewed as a 2004 band, and many people who liked back then just see them as a nostalgia act.

Yes, in the stream the hour is set at 20:30

Shit, I'm gonna miss this one. But I wanted them to play a big medley in the vein of that ill-fated 2014 DJ set. Anyway, I'm hoping for unique variations of the familiar hits so it's gonna be pretty interesting

I said many times before that it was too soon to release some sort of live album/dvd and some of you didn't understood my point. Glad to see that the tide has shifted. I'll be glad to see anything released but it has the feeling of "could have been even better".

Shinoda: "fans snowball things and things blown out of proportion" Hey, he's talking about the lurkers of this forum!! Jokes aside (well, not really), It caught my attention that they said that the OG band always went to the safest route. I mean, now they've took the risks of playing mainly in stadium makes me think that many of the tours we had in arenas were in this kind of venues because the band were unsure if they could sell out bigger places. In other words, if they would have taken risks sooner we could had an stadium tour before in another album cycle

He doesn't feel proud of many of the Xero stuff, I highly doubt that we're ever gonna see more officially released music ever.

For sure, the next LP album can't be a FZ Part 2. I appreciate the comfort sound and going back to what they're known for, but LP has never stagnated. I hate when a band stops innovating after 15+ years and stuck with certain style for the rest of their career.

APFMH/OSC duo returns. First time since Paris 2010, maybe?

If they play Unshatter it would be the first album played fully live plus its b-sides since Meteora

Still thinking if it's worth ordering the exclusive 2CD expanded booklet version if it ships from the US... The standard I can get it anywhere
