The "casual" listener just wants to see a great show, and doesn't really care particularly to much on which song is played. And there will be more than 100-500 fans who would recognize stuff off of HT/MT.

 

WIth you/APFMH/QWERTY/FIgure.09 are not LPU songs. nor are they mmm cookie level songs. THey are actual songs that would rock the house and the casual listener would think it would be cool as fuck to hear some rockin music and unexpected music being played.

 

If they can't play ONE of those songs then thats a joke. And its THEIR concert, they can get away with anything they want.

This. The "we only want to play songs that everyone's heard of" excuse is really pathetic. Also, if a mainstream listener goes to a concert, they wouldn't (or they shouldn't) expect to know every song that's part of the set. People don't really care if the songs sound familiar or not. As long as it's good music, no one's complaining. And I don't see why they think it's so wrong for mainstream listeners -who sometimes think they're the "greatest LP fans evar"- to discover more of Linkin Park's songs.

When Chester gave that interview in which he talked about how LP's fifth album was going to "polarize people", the fans asked Mike about it and he just went "I have no idea what he's talking about. The album isn't nearly done".

So I'm not really getting my hopes up. I think late 2012 might be a possibility, but early 2012 just seems a little too soon for LP. I hope I'm wrong though.

I don't see why the interviewer even asked him about the Lady Gaga lawsuit. That was a bad question. Seemed like Mike wasn't even sure how to answer that...

He also said something along those lines in the ATS making of DVD where they were talking about song structure I think. Correct me if Im wrong.

Yeah, he says something about how the usual verse-chorus-verse-chorus song structure shouldn't be something they have to abide by when writing... or something along those lines.

And I suppose this means they won't be playing the edited version too often.

This is a rough setlist... I wasn't there just to see Linkin Park and I had to move due to a very annoying and wild crowd in the front. Maybe you guys can recognize this and fill out the rest.

 

70% sure about this order, but don't take my word for it

Papercut

Lying From You

Wretches and Kings

What I've Done

No More Sorrow

New Divide

Waiting For the End (a clear highlight!)

In the End

Faint

Bleed it Out (first verse of a Place for My Head and the ''Go away'' part after that)

One Step Closer

 

unsure about order... I have no idea when these songs came

- Iridiscent

- The Catalyst

- Breaking the Habit

Apart from W&K, it sounds like, uh, pretty much every other setlist they've played on this tour...?

Rumor has it that MCR were bottled and booed and booed off stage. Anyone heard anything else?

Is it just me or do those guys have bad luck at festivals?

I heard that too! I hope not. I'm not a massive fan of MCR but I don't think anybody deserves that.

Also, this. Can't imagine how humiliating it must've been for the band...

You're being ridiculous. It honestly doesn't matter what competition this band has, the community always has a problem with it. Eventually, they are will stop doing them because they will be exhausted from the complaining.

That's because there is a problem with the competition.

Well, the Iridescent remix was -in my opinion- horrible live. I'm not a big fan of the remix itself actually. I like how the song builds up in the album version. The remix just sounds a bit too pop-y. (Not that I have a problem with pop music. )

And the Moscow intro was amazing! I'm guessing they'll never use that intro again or at least not anytime soon (hence the name Moscow intro) but I like ND as an opener!

After looking at the other entries that were posted in that article, I'm kind of surprised LP chose that one as the winner. I mean, I'm not bashing the artist, who probably did the best he could, but it doesn't seem like they went through the entries very carefully.

But I wonder if they'll disqualify him and choose another winner (which would be embarrassing for artist who might not even have known the rules), or just ignore the problem altogether...

I picked Papa Roach, Lupe and Avenged Sevenfold.

 

I wonder how many people picked the option..."They did not come to my city" for the 'did you attend an LP concert question'

Haha, I actually picked "I'm not interested in seeing LP". Bet I was one of the only people who picked that.

For the songs, I picked Easier to Run, Blackout and Waiting for the End. I didn't put much thought into that one actually. Just picked the songs that I like at the moment.

What did you guys put for artists to collaborate with?

If you're talking about the "artists I want to see perform with Linkin Park" question, I picked Lupe Fiasco, Danger Mouse and Glitch Mob. I doubt they could ever perform with Danger Mouse though, because he's a producer.

"when they come for me" has many "indian music" elements to it , most recognisable are the Drums (thats what we hear in our street music) and also some elements like "aye aye" towards the end of the song

Not really. I listen to Indian music and doesn't sound Indian at all to me. And the "aye" in the end is definitely Arabic-esque.

But never-mind that. Congratulations to all LP fans in India!

Not surprising. Not surprising because the song When they come for me this is song specially for the fans of Linkin Park from India.

I assumed after the release ATS, Linkin Park is quite possible to perform in India.

and it happened.

 

 

My congratulations to the fans from India.

Well, actually When They Come For Me doesn't sound Indian at all. It's more Arabic/Middle-Eastern

Is it sad that I've never heard of any of these three groups?

(Well, technically I've heard of Die Antwoord but never listened to their music)
