I don't think the speeches make COG sound any better, would rather see LP play the original version.

Poor bloke has an ear infection and everyone goes nuts.

Brad's a nice bloke. Pulled me aside back in 2010 after the show and said some very kind words which I'll keep between me and him. He's a part of Linkin Park, I wouldn't want to see him leave. There are 5 other blokes in the band too who would have their own views on sets and what should and shouldn't be in there.

 

Just saying. The poor bloke gets a lot of slack on this site as of late.

Totally agree with you.

Hold on a fucking minute here. Brad misses the first two shows of a four show mini-tour. That's the first half. Brad, much like the tour has four shows, has four letters. The first two letters are B and R and, since he missed the first two shows, they will be eliminated from his name, leaving A and D. A is the first letter and D is the fourth. Four minus one is three. Three. A triangle has three sides. The Illuminati has triangles. Brad is a member of the Illuminati.

 

Also Half-Life 3 is confirmed.

I think you're on to something. No but seriously people thinking Brad is not at the show cos he has lost interest/can't be bothered turning up or something even more ridiculous such as he has left the band. Really? Just really?

I wonder if the band would continue if Brad quits, who would you guys want for his replacement? (be serious)

If Brad was to ever leave LP, I personally wouldn't want the band to continue it's just won't seem right. Seeing someone else standing there instead of Brad.

WHENEVER I SEE LP HAVING A GOOD TIME AND ENJOYING THEMSELVES ON TOUR IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!!! UGH I HATE BRAD SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH I DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW HIM BUT I JUST ASSUME HE'S AN ASS BECAUSE HE DOESN'T JUMP AROUND LIKE A MONKEY ON STAGE!!!

 

 

This is what LPL has seemed like for the past 3 months. Just constant shitposting and complaining about stupid shit that doesn't matter. Lighten up people.

So true.

I think if LP were to play 10 different sets in a tour there would still be fans complaining.

The Shadow of the Day solo requires MAYBE a month's worth of experience playing guitar to play accurately. You move your fretting hand ONCE during the entire thing. It still sounds cool though, so I'd give Brad credit for coming up with it...except Chester wrote it on piano first. In Pieces is sort of cool...and Brad absolutely butchered it 100% of the time that song was performed live. Keys to the Kingdom is mostly good but has a random string of "SHIT WHAT KEY AM I IN AGAIN?!" chromatic notes in the middle of the solo that should have been overdubbed with something that actually makes sense. All For Nothing...hey, that's a well-thought-out solo that establishes a theme and actually progresses somewhere with it. Props where they're due. The solos in both Guilty All the Same and War are exactly what I described in my previous post: Playing as fast as possible with no regard for rhythm, key, or phrasing ("puking notes" is a common term for this), and then using a bunch of wacky effects pedals to somewhat cover up how sloppy it sounds (and making it next to impossible to actually make out what's being played to boot). A Line in the Sand...well, it's not tremolo picking, it's mostly single string two-hand tapping runs, a.k.a. that other trick that novice guitarists love to use to make people think they're better than they are. Brad's left hand literally repeats one motion over and over throughout the end of that solo and he moves his right hand around to change the notes he's pulling off from. Woohoo. If Brad got a guitar with a Floyd Rose and started doing divebombs, he'd have the trifecta of no-skill-required guitar tricks that impress people who know nothing about actually playing guitar. Surprised you didn't mention Mark the Graves, which actually contains not one, but two of his better solos.

I suppose you'll come back with your standard argument that this is all just my opinion though...and you'd most likely be right. It also

happens to be an opinion that's backed up by 13 years of playing guitar being my number one passion in life.

Does having 13 years of guitar playing experience mean anything? Brad has had more than 13 years experience but apparently he sucks as a guitarist.

 

Where? Wantagh? Wantagh he just told the crowd to get up and be extra loud, etc. It was like a 30 second or more ext. intro...need a video to remember exactly what he said.

Yeah in Wantagh, sorry should of made myself more clearer. Soul mentioned it in the OP, trying to find video but nothing has been uploaded so far.

So does anyone know what Mike said in his awesome speech during Bleed it out?

Maybe just maybe, all these set list complaints being made here on lplive only reflect a small % of what the LP fanbase as a whole feel. I don't think LP are going to change their setlists completely based on that.

What's with all the complaining...

LP debuted here In Australia at no.3 as well, also beaten by Lana Del Ray.

I don't know why but seeing the LP flag flapping back and forth in the background makes me feel really nauseous.

Honestly I can not take Mike seriously with that wig. Haha. Did he have it custom made or something, didn't know red spiky hair wigs existed.

I keep saying it, but seriously, this it the BEST album from LP so far, IMHO. Shit..

Geki just curious, according to your signature if THP has overtaken MTM as your favourite album why has MTM dropped all the way to 4th favourite?

I would of preferred a video with no special effects for a change but the video is still alright I guess. They had some pretty cool videos during the HT and Meteora era. MTM was okay, but everything after that hasn't been that great.

Not sure how people are saying things like this is DEFINITELY the BEST EVER Linkin Park album... I mean seriously, after one or two listens how can you make such a conclusive statement? I'm guessing those same people hated Living Things before they even listened to it...

Just listening all the way through for a second time and really enjoying it.

Because its heavy and Chester scream a lot in the album.

This is going to be hard but I will wait till Friday when the album comes out.

From all the reviews I've read so far, I cannot wait to hear Final Masquerade and A Line In The Sand.

So Brad doesn't play on keyboards anymore during WFTE?

It's starting

The site above is showing LP but for some reason the site in the opening post is still showing Kaiser Chiefs.

Mike and Chester's vocals blend together real nice in the song.

They couldn't think of anything insulting to say to Brad so they decided to make up some story about his headphones. Yeah nice one.

"So in no way do I want to slam Chester in any of this because he is the man... It's just such a bummer that he has to be in a band with dudes like that."

With dudes like what?! Dudes who don't do drugs and all that other shit 'typical' rock stars are suppose to do. Get over yourselves Sublime With Rome.

Its so good to see LP throwing in so many different things in the set list this time.

That was racist, I'm dissapointed about Mike

I don't get it, what did he do?

That's fine with me.
