    Still hate how Mike justifies those small shows not being released with something like "Hey those shows were special because of the intimacy between m e and the fans, so releasing a live album would be odd". 😑

     

     

    Same, as @martinez pointed out, I don't think I could still tell the difference if Manny or a different mixer would've done a new mix with the album, like how many 'experts' around here said Meteora and many other LP albums were mixed 'horribly', I'm honestly clueless.

    Linkin Park has one of the most precise and meticulous discography, with countless layers of sounds perfectly mixed. I'd like to take those "experts" for a trip to other genres to truly know what's "horribly" mixed

    Holy fuck

     

    That's badass, looks like something straight out from Frat Party

    I've been listening the whole HT Tour 2000-02 this year, and dude, I fucking love when they start to banter and giving the f-bombs between songs, specially with the Ozzfest crowds. Gotta love their attitude back then. 

    DSP Ranking per year

    2007 - Holmdel, great setlist and performance

    2008 - Edgefest Toronto. Everybody's is going to choose with the MSG show, but I'll go with that "acoustic" way to start up the show

    2009 - Hard to say, same setlist, shows were cool but nothing out of the ordinary, I'd say Portimao.

    2010 - Berlin. I usually choose shows with uncommon setlist, but the Bleed it Out/Burning in the Skies section has something really special. I always come back to it

    2011 - MSG is one of my All Time Favourites, but since the DSP pales in comparison with the TV broadcast, and I love to go against the grain, I'll stick with Singapore. Killer way to end a tour.

    2012 - Mountain View, although it could be any show with that encore of Faint, LFY/Papercut and OSC

    "Mike Shinoda and Friends"? Mike to possibly perform live in 2024?

    Maybe Mike performing LP songs with other famous guests?

     

    Similar to what happened @ Hollywood Bowl

     

    The " & friends" part is a really interesting hint.

     

    My theory is that Slye already talked to Mike and asked for Linkin Park and the guys said no.

     

    FROM the business point of view Mike Shinoda with some famous friends playing Linkin Park songs would attract more people than Mike w his almost unknown solo project.

    I think you nailed it. The 2018/19 tour, like it or not was "limited" in terms of LP material. You know they can only play certain songs. But with more guest you open the door to have the a wider catalog. It will be cool to see... If it finally happens, of course 

    what is the saddest song Chester ever recorded?

    I think Nobody Can Save Me is a sad because there was hope in the lyrics, kind of like with Battle Symphony. And obviously what happened happened so it can seem like he didn’t overcome his problems. 
     

    My problem with One More Light as an album was that it wasn’t dark enough for me. Like Chester said in 2007 ‘’We’re a very dark band and he like it that way’’. Every album from the band has been pretty dark in their own ways. But One More Light wasn’t to me at all. It was very optimistic throughout most of the songs except for a couple. One More Light the song was sad but it was written about a close friend of the band who passed of cancer so I never really related it to any other situation, especially since I just lost someone to cancer a couple years ago who was very close. Halfway Right is a little dark but that’s only because it’s Chester reflecting on past mistakes, the sound though is very happy sounding, at least to me. Heavy is the only one that I do think was dark because it was directly on Chester’s mindset in his final years and there isn’t really any hope in the lyrics, at least to me. Invisible and Sorry For Now are directly Mike talking about being a father, and IMO are almost like Mike solo songs. Invisible he said is about how his kids might think he is being mean when he’s trying to guide them and Sorry For Now was about his kids being too young to understand fully why he on the road a lot. Talking To Myself… idk, like yeah it’s about how Talinda must have felt when Chester battle his demons but at the same time I never found it a dark song, I thought it was more of him just kind of saying sorry for the past me.

     

    I guess what I mean is sonically the sound of the album is not dark at all. The lyrics and the sound conflict even though I think most of the lyrics are not dark. To me a good example of a dark pop song is the new Thirty Seconds To Mars song Stuck. Love the shit out of that song. Or the new Julien-K single, Your Tears Me Nothing, that is dark as fuck sounding but also poppy. Even Fine by Mike has a dark pop sound that I love. If they had done a dark pop sound for the album with Chester on vocals for most songs it would have been my favorite album, maybe even beating Minutes To Midnight for me.

    Maybe they were trying to archieve that deceiving scheme of "happy music with sad lyrics", which was a trend in the early/mid '10s (even Paramore released After Laughter, which Mike said he really liked). A dark sounding pop album would have been great, absolutely. But the problem with OML is, for me, that for the first time, the music sounds generic. Whatever genre LP played, they left a imprint on it. This time wasn't the case.

     

    What's next for birthday? Is collision course 20th possible?

    I think we will for sure get MTM20. Brad even kind of hinted at it during an interview for Meteora 20 when he said he didn’t really think that adding What I’ve Done (Distorted Remix) and Given Up (Third Encore Session) was really a proper ‘’anniversary’’ for Minutes To Midnight. Brad has always loved Minutes To Midnight if you watch interviews with him, he mentions it a lot. Phoenix also has posted on social media about the album several times, about how much he likes it. So I think for sure we will get MTM20. And most likely ATS20. Idk about other albums but probably. MTM was very special for the band. Mike even said that that time period was one of the most important things for the band because they all became best friends during the making of it, and he said especially with Chester, he got close with. So it’s a special album. I think we will get something great. Same for ATS.

     

    Those DSP’s for sure exist somewhere and were just never released. Idk why. It sucks. They released the Australian and NZ ones from 2007 so why not the Europe 2008 ones? They gave us those in 2010. I think they forgot back then. They’re probably on a hard drive somewhere. Which sucks because I NEED ATHENS 2008 DSP IN MY LIFE. Haha.

    I think that Brad was making a reference of just including those two additional songs doesn't make an anniversary edition, making references to the 15th anniversary edition. But I think for a proper boxset, why not including them? Why I do see a waste of space is including DSP tracks on physical CDs. Why do I want a couple of tracks when I can get the whole show? BUT they should liberate all the DSPs from that era for a broader audience (yes, including the European Summer Tour 08)

    Possibility of some new Fort Minor music?

    from my POV, 

     

    FM = Mike's alternate take of his rap route, talking bout issues, scene in hip-hop community

    MS = his rap more towards his perspective as Mike Shinoda, also he integrated some alternative pop music in it.

     

    both is great. FM is more gangster rap kinda thing while MS is personal matter.

    Wasn't cigarettes making fun of the gangsta rap?

    I was gonna say, I never really heard about what happened between them. Anyone got the general scoop? I thought they were at least still chill to be honest, could have sworn he mentioned them in a pretty positive light not all that long ago. Maybe I'm making things up in my own head, but-

    Same here, the SOD feud saga it's too confusing and hard to follow

    This is ten percent luck
    Twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure
    Fifty percent pain
    And a 0 percent reason to release new music under Fort Minor since Mike moved on already, his relationship with SOB is non-existent.

     

    It was just a moment of time that is not going to happen again, everything that mike will release will be under Mike Shinoda or Linkin Park.

    Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that MS without SOB is just... MS. How many times has Mike cut off Ryu at the last minute?

    Great insights both of you. It's curious to see how a twisted mind like Chester's works. How "common" traumas like abandonment issues, relationship problems... takes him to a whole different level and makes him act so erratic for years.

     

    Like Paranoid says, that was the culmination of a very rough life. Speculating gives us some comfort to try to get the pieces of what happened, but the truth is we will never know. It's impossible to fit the pieces and see the Warning signs because Chester's mind was like playing a game but each game the rules completely change.

     

    As for the people who blame Talinda, they've never been in a serious relationship in their entire life's and they don't know what it mean to reach your tipping point. They say never meet your heroes, so for those who throw shit at her... Do you really want to be around Chester 24/7 during one of his bad days? Really? Because something tells me that you'll be burning your Linkin Park CDs after that.

     

    The only good outcome is that the band and their family, are moving forward. It's healthy and they deserve it.
