Oh ok I get it and therefore the irony.

By the time I read your post you've already fixed it. Just curious though, how was it spelled wrong for it to be that bad.

I like the fact that after a good 10+ years in the 'big leagues', MTV still cant get it right...

 

 

Congrats boys!

Hey Pez did you know Phoenix retweeted your tweet.

Or maybe Chester just really needed that surgery to prevent further damage.

I wish no ill will on any of the band members, but if there's a disposable, nameless/faceless/useless member, it's definitely Phoenix. Besides "Given Up", he's pretty non-existent, at least off the top of my head.

"Nameless/faceless/useless member," that's a bit harsh isn't it?

Get well soon Phoenix and I wonder what happened to Chester. Take care out there LP.

Yeh just watching the coverage of the Grand Prix at the moment and saw Mike with his wife and Chester on the sidelines. Definitely the highlight of my day.

Is that Brad I see bouncing for like 2 seconds.

If LP are sell outs they would of continued making albums which sounded like HT and not bothered experimenting with different sounds.

Speaking of summits, I don't think I've heard much about the summit in Japan. Does anyone know any info about it?

The album has definitely grown on me. I remember hearing The Catalyst for the first time and not liking it much however after many listens and seeing the song live I actually don't mind it now, the same goes with some of the other songs such as WTCFM and Blackout.

I appreciate and respect what LP have done with every album so far and knowing they are not trying to create the same sound every time makes it just the more exciting.

The footage of the fans singing iridescent was an awesome idea.

The tour has always been just known as the ATS tour so why would Japan be any different and get another name for it.

Very short chat, not much was answered. There was also some kind of audio problem the whole time. Chester's chat was 10x better than this.

What's going on with Brad's chats. Wasn't there a problem with his camera during the last chat.

Thats nice, but we have the right form an opinion. And they are fortunate to be playing on such stages, and having fans. There are THOUSANDS of immensely talented musicians who are just as talented as LP but they will never reach their fame or fortune. SO, if we the fans, who pay the tickets to go see them live *which is where the main $$$ comes from* then we reserve the right to bitch when we can't even get ONE old song. How many fans are they trying to get by playing nothing but singles? Yeah, some people will be disappointed if they don't play this certain single... so what. Do something for the fans who have been there through every evolution stage. They are not gods or above bitching and complaining.

 

They are extremely commercial to the point that its annoying, i'm not calling them sellouts per se either.

Lets not forget that LP were once no bodies as well, they've worked extremely hard to get to where they are now.

As for Chester's screaming, maybe he is trying to preserve his voice for as long as possible because he is human after all and after 10 years of screaming like he does it probably has taken a toll on him.

I just hope LP are not rushing an early release for the album just to please the fans and it ends up sounding not as good as it should be but having said that the new album would probably drag out to a 2013 release anyway.

Chester actually says here that the band didn't smoke. XP http://www.lptimes.com/news2008/jan/kerrang_jan2008_09.jpg

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't work for some reason.

Great interview, but... "That didn't help build bonds with the rest of the band – who were more into pot and booze, and had no idea their frontman would be sitting on the tour bus tripping."

 

I was unaware that the other members of the band smoked pot

Is this some kind of mistake because seriously I didn't think they were the type.

It is true. Every single post I read in this forum, it's all 'OMFG Mike is so awesome' or 'Mike should do more vocals than Chester (forgot what thread it was)' or stupid shit like 'Mike is the leader of the band' or 'Mike should replace Chester'. That pisses me off. There is no 'leader' of LP. It makes no sense to have Mike replace Chester when they don't even do the same roles in the band. I wouldn't even care that everyone is a die-hard Mike fan on this forum, but I when I express my opinions on why I don't like certain things such as ATS, forum members and EVEN MODS jump down my throat and gang up on me because I said something they don't like. At least on forums like LPA, the mods don't attack me because they disagree with my opinion.

I don't know what threads you're reading but I don't remember seeing any comments along those lines.

That was a nice little interview. It seems like Chester and Phoenix are doing a lot of the interviews of late.

Love the album version, don't like the remix at all.

Cutting out the gang vocals just doesn't seem right.

I understand what Mike is saying with the whole give and take thing and I will love LP regardless. However it would be nice if they could give the non members the occasional treat from time to time, like a meet & greet or online chat.

Just a thought.

Don't mind the intro to New Divide it will be interesting to see if LP will play it again.

As for Iridescent, prefer the album version to the remix. Never have been a fan of that remix beat (or whatever you call it) in the background and having the gang vocals cut short just doesn't seem right.

Hamburg will get the setlist from Leipzig. That was a great set and will make everyone really happy tonight. XD

 

EDIT Forgot to mention, LPfan1989, who posted here that she couldn't get a ticket, because she's in a wheelchair, was personally invited by Mike to attend the show! That was sooo nice of him!

Mike you're awesome. How did he know about it?

if thats the case then i want LP too Pull-Off a Guns N Roses, And Release a Double Album! Just like Use Your Illusion 1&2. The 1st album can be a Brand New album & then the 2nd album can be New but really there old demos from ATS.

 

Overall does anybody think we could ever get a 2CD Double-Album from LP??? =)

I really don't see LP releasing a double CD any time soon, I'm just hoping that there will be more than 9 songs this time. Either way I'm excited about the new album.

Completely agree with this. I'd consider No More Sorrow the only song in the setlist that isn't a single besides the new songs. Papercut had a video made for it - wasn't it a European single? From The Inside was a single. Lying From You was a single.

 

Ouch lol. We're like 1 song away from it being all singles + new songs. Long live NMS?

I don't remember Lying From You being a single.
