Hi Ben! Welcome to the forum and thanks for registering, checking out the thread and sharing your new music. Personally I am a big fan of Rosewood Fall and have been listening to them on and off for a while. I'll be sure to check out your EP and email you and keep in touch. LP fans seem surprisingly more interested in TRF than you would think. The band has a very catchy, rock-driven sound that is easy on the ears but also jams when it needs to. When I first started dating my girlfriend a few years ago, she asked why I never played an instrument since I love music so much. I replied I just never took up the time to learn anything, but I played her 'Again', 'Bitter Pill', 'NYC Blackout', 'God Bless' and 'Below Your Window' and said if I WAS in a band, THIS was what I wanted it to sound like. Thanks to Energy for covering TRF on LPFuse for years, which is what lead a lot of the LP community to the band. Also, in case no one saw it, Ben posted an unreleased TRF song on Soundcloud called Mojave. https://soundcloud.com/thesbenjamin/rosewood-fall-mojave The description for the song from his blog reads, "One of the last songs recorded for Rosewood Fall was a short, tired song of defeat called “Mojave”. It was written, if memory serves, while I was still in college; before there was really a band, before there was a “record deal” (with no guarantee of an actual record, thus rendering it in reality more of an “indentured servitude deal”), before the cycle of write—>record—>submit—>wait for the dreaded “we don’t hear the hit yet” reply from the label—>repeat became a soul-destroying, joy-sucking reality that defined my whole life. Recording “Mojave” was, in some senses, an admission of defeat in and of itself… A song that totally eschews the Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus-Chorus approach that we had attempted countless times over the previous 2 years while chasing radio-friendliness. Instead, a single stanza. 4 lines. No repeats. The Mojave desert is bleeding tonight. To weary to run, to wasted to fight. Crossed out of Nevada, left nothing but ruin. Baby, make up my bed, I’m coming home soon. I knew that it would be seen as a throwaway by the ones we needed to impress in order to move our career forward. I didn’t care anymore. I think we’d all known for a while how it was going to end, anyway. None of us were going to get what we wanted, so we were simply waiting out the clock until we could go our separate ways. By the time we finally committed this song to ones and zeros, it prescience was eerily apparent. I was nearing an end, bloodied and bruised, wandering around in the wilderness, beat up by two years of rejection and increasingly unhealthy ways of coping with the regular ego-batterings. I instinctively knew that I needed to go “home”, but I had long ago burned my maps, and with them any sense of where that might be. Hell, I didn’t even know what it looked like. What I did know, or thought I knew, was that there were really only two options for me: somehow find my way back to this elusive place of safety, or bleed out in the desert. What I didn’t imagine was that these two options were not mutually exclusive." And his new EP is here: http://www.noisetrade.com/sbenjamin/this-machine-sings-grace

$11? Are you kidding me? Wow, that's insane.

I mean all 3 are looking legit as of right now. http://www.palaistheatre.net.au/whats-on.htm is showing the 26th for STP at The Palais Theatre in St. Kilda. It's even on Ticketmaster: http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/stone-templ...p;minorcatid=60 The Palace is available on the 27th (http://www.palace.com.au/) and STP's Facebook post + Bandsintown are showing "Two new shows have been added in Australia! February 25th in Sydney at Enmore Theatre and February 27th in Melbourne at The Palace. Tickets go on sale Thursday, January 23rd at 9am!" So it's looking like Melbourne is really getting 2 Sidewave shows + Soundwave? Unless something really is fucked here then that might be the case. Wow.

What in the world, that's weird. I don't see them doing 3 dates, so something seems wrong.

Surely one of them has to be wrong; why would they play 3 Melbourne shows? I think 2/25 and 2/26 are the legit ones.

I haven't listened to much else besides Basquiat, Pretty Birdy and Cumulus from this CD but I wanted to point out that 3:46 of Primo when Chester's vocals come in.... He has that super soft delivery that really catches your attention, very similar to the bridge of When They Come For Me the first time I heard it. Very cool. Check out WTCFM at 2:53, the electronic stuff hits exactly like it does in Primo too....lots of similarities there in my opinion. I 100% like Primo much more than I'LL BE GONE. I feel like Primo could have fit in somewhere on ATS... maybe after Iridescent. It's a great song. It's a full minute longer than anything on the album besides The Catalyst, which has a length that is just shorter than Primo. Was it the song length that scared them away from it, do you think? The album would clock in at 53 minutes too. It just seems so ATS-ish to me that redoing it and adding it to LT really took away from the demo to me.

It's no one's fault here. It's the fact that people can't translate correctly and don't know this is a RUMOR thread lol. A statement like that ("a fansite has included it in their tour schedule") is really misleading and is 100% incorrect.

He says their first show THERE at the Whisky, not first show overall ever.

I was pretttttty close to seeing the Atlanta show on this tour. Missed out on My December, It's Goin' Down, Nobody's Listening, and P5hng Me A*wy (fuck. fuck. fuck.).

Today on this date ten years ago, Linkin Park kicked off their biggest headlining tour of North America in the band's history. Playing at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA, the North American Tour for Meteora took the band, with P.O.D., Hoobastank, and Story Of The Year as openers, to thirty seven different cities in two months. Many of the shows on the tour sold out, such as the Uniondale, NY show, which sold out in just one day. Lots of shows on the tour had the same success. The hectic world tour for Meteora, released in March 2003, can be attributed to wearing the band out and making them want to take a break, which is what happened the following year in 2005. With thirty seven shows on this headlining tour, nine shows in Europe and Asia, the Collision Course Roxy show, another thirty two on Projekt Revolution and one in Brazil, the band played a total of eighty shows in 2004 alone. There were many highlights on this tour, such as the band bringing up fans at most shows to play 'Faint' on guitar. 'Breaking The Habit' was played on its first-ever USA tour and the intro was played by Mike on a grand piano along with 'Numb' and 'My December'. With a nineteen song setlist, Linkin Park changed things up a little and tossed 'Nobody's Listening' (with Brad and Phoenix switching instruments) and 'It's Goin' Down' (with Chester playing guitar) into the setlist along with one of their best-ever encores of 'My December', 'P5hng Me A*wy', 'A Place For My Head' and 'One Step Closer. Chester fell ill mid-tour, forcing the band to cut their Long Beach, CA set a bit short and moved their hometown Inglewood, LA show to the end of the tour, resulting in a huge show to end the tour at home that celebrated both Chester and Joe's birthdays. While Projekt Revolution 2007 came close with twenty nine shows, no tour since this North American headline tour in 2004 has featured this many shows by the band. Over the course of the next two months, we will be bringing you some of the best recordings of the tour right here on LPLive, so be sure to check back!

My question is if Part Of Me and Carousel were re recorded after the HTEP for possible inclusion on Hybrid Theory. I'm talking about the demos on the demo CDs, specifically the one with the Part Of Me where Chester screams "CUT MYSELF FREE". If so, was And One re recorded too? Because the live version is very different than the studio HTEP one.

Easily the best joke I've seen on here in ages LOL, damn that was great. Obviously if APFMH was in the setlist he'd be fine

Shinoda is rocking it on the With You video. Looks like he's having a blast. I bet that song will stick around. Does Chester live on the micstand now for SIB?

lol, websites are really taking this out of hand: http://dutchscene.nl/2014/01/15/linkin-par...pop-2014/35950/ Dutch websites and shit are saying LP is confirmed at Pinkpop because of the first post in this thread Clearly they don't know how to read that it's just a rumor and is 100% unconfirmed lol

The 2008 European Tour was really fun to follow because of the huge variety of shows. So many cool festivals and then really good headlining shows. Projekt Revolution in Germany and the UK, shows in Riga, etc. The setlists were fucking awesome - Reading My Eyes in one and then Valentine's Day, an encore of PMA/BTH/APFMH/OSC, etc. Being here on the forums with these 3 shows in a row was really a fun time to be an LP fan, followed by the full tour where a ton of people got to see the band: - Skive, where a new setlist came out and Reading My Eyes was in it - Rock In Rio, the webcast, a badass setlist and a huge insane crowd - Madrid's FM broadcast....fans going "what the fuck will be next...what will be the encore..." etc and then people going nuts it was CFTI, APFMH, Faint, OSC. That personally was one of my favorite tours ever to cover for the band and one of my favorite moments on LPLive. It sucks the site went down after that and we didn't recover until later during Projekt Rev, losing all those posts. But I'll never forget that tour and I hope someday we can get the DSPs. That was really big variety, going from the Graz venue to a festival in Italy to Projekt Rev in Germany to fucking Dublin with QOTSA to a headlining Germany show. Second to that actually would be the European Tour earlier in 2008 with Hannover starting. Good god the LP community blew up when the new set had WID/Faint/NMS opening, Valentine's Day, Crawling (w/ KRWLNG intro), the new insane POA outro, My December, 2 encores, and APFMH/OSC closing. WOW people loved that. I don't think I've ever seen a first show of the tour since then get such a good reception/review online from every single person that saw the setlist. Not one complaint!

Are you sure? I was under the impression Bleed It Out was bigger than What I've Done, but of course I might be wrong about that. The mistake they made with ATS was not picking WFTE to be the lead single. The singles from that album should have been WFTE, Wretches, and BITS.

Great job everyone on this. This will definitely work for the time being. We'll see what they do in regards to editing it when the TV broadcast comes out on February 15th.

For the rehearsal setlist I mistakenly said Travis Barker was on ITE and BIO. He didn't show up at the soundcheck. I also said Einziger was on Bleed It Out and forgot to list Faint. The correct soundcheck info is on the page. I also adjusted the show notes for each show. ALTNC was dropped in Vegas at the headlining show because Chester was sick and thought he couldn't nail it. It'll probably be played this summer though.

Has LP even ever played in Hungary? I guess soon would be a good time in their career to make it to Budapest. I'm surprised they haven't played in Prague either in a long time. But at least in Hungary you can travel to Austria, Romania, Germany, etc. Dude they're dropping an album and doing a full European Tour and USA Tour.

I'd say in about a month they'll announce those. I'm sure they'll play one other German show at least, but if they play 2 they'll announce those at the same time. Countries that get 2+ headline shows usually get them both announced at once. I bet they'll return to Russia for a headline show, possibly play Italy, definitely play France and England, and of course hit some obscure other areas.

Lots of chatter about Pinkpop getting Linkin Park again.

Done. Moved it and integrated the sections. Solid idea. Awesome review. You can definitely tell they are uninterested in some songs like Faint, Numb, etc live. Given Up it seems the only people that jam are Mike and Chester. They do love WTCFM and LGM. I hate LGM but if the band jams on it live, let it stay I guess. It's surprising POA, LFY and APFMH were gone from these shows when they really jam big on all 3 of those. WTCFM is a song that should be a staple at this point - I haven't seen them play that song "casually" even once (from all the videos I've ever seen of it + in my face performances). They always rock that one really big. It's time for Numb to go...if Faint is boring to them then drop it for a while too. Play stuff you really are excited about playing, lol. If that's Carousel, then so be it. If it's New Divide, then so be it. MFR is fantastic and I look forward to doing the 2014 USA shows when the time comes.

Did they already release something? I haven't even plugged in it in yet but I'm waiting for an announcement by the LPU that something is up.
