  1. I can't sleep. Too excited.

    K, decided I'll buy it soon regardless of just buying LPUX. I can't wait. But I'll do it tomorrow. It's 2am.

  2. For me it doesn't matter. I don't bought them. When I saw them in 2008 I bought the recording for that, but I don't wouldn't buy any if I didn't go to the shows. I mean if other people want them for the shows they went to and they didn't have them, I would be pissed that I didn't get one. I was so happy when that they had mine because now I can relive that concert forever.

  3. The new metal sound was no longer popular after Meteora hence the change. What music are they making now, soft rock? I wonder why. Because it's now popular.

    I wouldn't say their stuff is soft rock. I would rather hear hard rock not soft rock. I hate almost all of today's rock because it is too soft, but if LP was then I would hate their new new stuff and I don't.
  4. You know, I can handle that they were into pot and even alcohol, in fact it doesn't surprise me even though I see these guys as saints (even though I know that's not true). But there is one OTHER "rockstar" stereotype I wonder about them.....And it makes me wondering. :/ But then I don't think I want to know...It wouldn't surprise for a past thing but I don't know about now. And I probably shouldn't be talking about it anyway.

  5. I hope we somehow get the full DSP-quality show sometime in the future. Whether it's an iTunes download or what, I'd like the full thing. The cover song was awesome. The overall show was really good in my opinion, surprisingly a great crowd - the pit on No More Sorrow was badass.

     

    With that said, here's a few things I wanna discuss.

     

    One, after the cover it appeared to me once again this year that it seems like the band is rushing things live. Like, they are in a big hurry to play the next song and not taking their time to talk between them. In 2007 even, like listen to Auburn after POA...Chester is blowing up. In 2011 it's pissing me off that almost every time Chester talks to the crowd, the next song starts asap. Leipzig with BITS, London with WJL, etc. The songs are starting so quickly now after the band talks for a sentence or two and it literally interrupts them. It's annoying to me slightly. Anyone else notice this? Papercut at London night 2 2010. It happens almost every single show on the ATS cycle. VERY noticeable to me.

     

    Next, I dislike how Blackout keeps getting the shaft. It's been played a few times on this tour but only at headlining shows (non festivals). They seem to not be very fond of that song live in my opinion. I was looking forward to it at this show but it was dropped for the cover. That's ok but I mean c'mon, it's a new song and fans really never got to see it. I guess I should elaborate by saying this doesn't really happen much with LP songs - meaning just about every cycle has every song off the album played to many many fans. The only exceptions to this are Easier To Run and Hit The Floor, and maybe even you could argue Valentine's Day or In Between. I guess the songs from ATS that this happens to are Blackout and Burning In The Skies.

     

    That's sad because BITS is a single and Blackout is a big big fan favorite, something ETR/HTF and VD/IB weren't. I don't think ATS will have any shows after Asia unfortunately either. In previous cycles, like PR07/PR08 for example, not everyone saw SOTD or LOATR or IP the first year but LP kept them the second year and just about everyone saw all 3. Well there was only 1 US tour for this album and it was VERY small compared to previous ones....Blackout and BITS weren't in every set but LP won't be back with those songs most likely.

     

    I dunno, maybe I'm just bitter because I saw 3 shows and didn't see either song (although I caught them both like 4+ times in soundcheck) or something.

    I noticed they rushed through the set too. I was annoyed by it also. I don't know why they did it but a few times Chester looked like he needed to catch his breath. :/

     

    And I agree about Blackout. I love it and if I had seen then on the ATS tour and they didn't play it I would be sooooo disappointed.
