nice one

not sure about castle of glass though, sounds a bit like "give me your name" by DBS and i didn't like that song ^^

Everyone vote for the Reanimation songs =D

lol not a lot of noises. as long as it doesn't all sound like "the messenger" that should be okay xD

No full setlist verification yet. It took ages to get Linz info from last year too. I guess my Austrian friend from Graz didn't go to either show

yeah you're right mark, sry I didn't go to either show, last year I was in Italy at that time and now I can't go to the festival because I have my last school leaving examinations on wednesday so that was kind of top priority..

despite that, I was asking some friends who went to the festival about helping me out with the setlist and they all said they would watch the other bands at that time. it seems like I am the only one left in my circle of friends who likes LP. All the others stopped being a fan at MTM resp. after the second concert in graz i guess when they saw only minor crowd interaction (what you guys were discussing earlier).

That is a sad fact but it is understandable, even from my point of view. I have seen various bands lately (including muse, pendulum, arctic monkeys, mando diao etc.) and they were all more audience-friendly and innovative at their shows. I don't want to bitch around but just conclude how a lot of people here in europe feel about that. All this "new approach" and "new independend sound" thingy by LP is all well and good, but if the commercial performance gets worse even in Europe then LP or at least the lable will do something about that. The best would really be if they went to an independend label, then they wouldn't have to pretend that all of their songs were strictly intended non-commercial and just their unmodified ideas.

So much just from an objective point of view, I still think they're kickass but even I wouldnt go to the same show over and over again..

oh btw, some guy posted

sooo. a friend just called me from the Nova Rock, he said he is watching the LP concert somewhere from the back because he was on his way to the other stage and stopped. he was actually too drunk to tell me what they were playing but he told me they started about 45min ago and I heard the end of "Breaking the Habit" and the beginning of "The Catalyst" quite clearly in the background

you know what that means..

FUUUUUUUUUUUU, LP at the Novarock festival and I have my school leaving final examinations on the friday before and the monday after the novarock weekend! :( :angry: :angry:

honestly, I think pendulum is kickass live. as much I am a huge LP fan I have to admit that pendulum is live better than Linkin Park (I have seen both multiple times)

26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet would be awesome

no, seriously they could try qwerty

WTF KATY PERRY!?!?

Haha, maybe she joins them and they do "Robot Boy" together or something.

i found some amazing footage from the linz show on youtube

check

too bad i couldn't come..

Hey guys,

The documentary about A Thousand Suns really got me thinking. Especially at the end when it seems like they were forced to release the album and chester talks about not letting the label and producers (he calls it 3rd party opinions) influence the sound of LP in the future.

But what about now? Does this mean that A Thousand Suns is just a constrained commercial release? Could be. The Making of seems to me like a Distress Call from LP.

What's your opinion? Let me know!

I don't like it at all...the chorus sounds too much like anastacia to be honest.

Let's see how it sounds in the context of the whole album..

Well that's a really good point right there. I like reading good posts like this.

Thanks Mark..I think this is more important than linkin park being on the soundtracks of some future games...I mean one can always play the music of LP while playing some games...

As I said, I think it is pretty arguable, I don't make LP responsible for this but this nevertheless let me doubt the straightforwardness of some songs... (it reminds me a bit of the one time I saw a mtv-documentation about linkin park where chester and the others say "none of us smokes, that is totally disgusting and we would never do that" even though it is commonly known that chester smokes - as seen in the making of MTM)

I don't know how to think about this...

I mean it's clear that this is a money related partnership that mainly warner and EA is responsible for.

Generally I wouldn't be concerned about such relationships, but isn't it a bit ambivalent that they support a game in which American Warfare is being celebrated and on the other hand release critical songs with political meaning concerning the grievance of the war related-moral? (eg. Hands Held High, or presumably Jornada del Muerto)

I think the whole discussion should not be measured with loyalty or "belief in the superiority of the bands musical attitude".

I liked the stems and the last preview very much but to be honest, I think the new preview sounds a little cheap. I mean you guys are right, it IS too early to judge, but I really hope that there will not be a fiasco like the one that happened with Chris Cornell a few years ago.

(his grunge/rock music went from this to

I don't want to bitch around, but I think this is a very interesting discussion..

LET THE MUSIC SPEAK FOR ITSELF

you're right, they could name it "track 1 - 15" if the music is great..

on the other hand these titles seem to validate the political meaning of some songs..

hey guys...

i made a remix, i would appreciate it if you listened to it.

please tell me your opinion

yeah, someone who has got time (I don't) should type this binary number down in a notepad file (i know that hurts the eyes) and then post it here so that everyone can try to it convert it into text, decimal numbers and other stuff...

what about if everyone copies one line?

the first line is

0100011001100010110110001101100011100110010000001101100011000010010000

I'm sorry, I meant Graz of course ;-) But this show wasn't even close to sold out. The back of the venue was empty!

That's rubbish, the 2008 show was sold out after a few hours and the 2009 show after a few days. I went to both, they were totally crowded.

Actually, Hahninator and AndOne were at the last show in Graz, I think they would agree with me that there were plenty of people...

exciting

just awesome...

singing "someday soon" xD

for sure "across the line" because its new and "drum song", because TLTGYA is my favoutite song

in my opinion this video is very beautiful is quite artistic in its own way...

but it seems to be the version they shot secondly because it obviously does not contain footage from the inofficial "behind the scenes" we saw in late summer...

(btw, i think sry amir should exchange his Les Paul Goldtop, I think it does not fit his musical and visual style and if i am right he uses an other guitar live, so why take that one?)

i agree with the nytimes concerning the layering and the background choruses...

i don't want to do bitching but chesters reaction seems a bit improfessional...as a musician you have to accept that there are other opinions out there than just "amazing" etc.

i like the album somehow...but songs like inside of me and my suffering are just too simple and nothing special in my opinion...

Hey what's up Marth

 

Did you hear anything else about it? I only heard just a little bit about it, I wonder what the date is, etc.

whats up hahninator

no, not much too...i hope i dont miss it if there is one...but i have not enough time to check the twitter all the time...:s

isnt today the release date for OoA for europe, because if then i have to get it quickly!!

I wonder if they play this rumoured secret show in london next week...maybe I could go, because I am in cambridge till 19th oct...
