Absolutely incorrect.

Yeah staff is really busy right now. No one's fault. I'm super swamped so I definitely understand folks are busy. Yeah I remember that for many shows. Download 2007, Pinkpop 2007, Rock am Ring 2007. Joe_lp and I each day LP played went to the sites of those festivals to check and it was always WBR wouldn't let LP be webcasted. Milton Keynes full show was gonna be on TV, RaR07...I wonder what else. Damn.

Alrighty. Yeah I didn't like it either after I hit post :/ I'll post more often again then. I like the old style better. Yep, staff fell asleep I guess since Got News? was loaded down with stuff. 95% sure these are CD's Mace burned at his house and is selling on eBay to try and get $.

Fuck this guy; these are obviously fake CDR's made by him trying to get money from LP fans. Reissue? WTF lol, this guy is a fool

Sorry about the lack of news being posted lately - I guess the staff fell asleep at their desks (lol). Here's what's up in the world of LP right now. If you see news, drop a post in the Got News? section of the forum and we'll move it accordingly or put it in this post. I'll get back on the news ASAP for all of you who refresh the site a million times a day. - Mike and Joe were on Loveline on the 19th. Download that here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PTUTMYU0 Thanks to TnkA for the rip! - LinkinParkBR reports that the LP show in Brazil will be broadcasted on TV. Read about that here (with the English version here). This should be the first full proshot show since...Portugal 2008? Is that right? - XeroSoldier reports here that the support acts for the Argentina LP show have been announced. Attaque 77 and De Bueyes will be opening the show. - NumbRocker reports in this thread that there is a video of Brad asking fans to come to the LP show in Israel. Find that here. There's also a group of morons here that are trying to prevent LP from playing in Israel because of some bullshit disagreement on politics, but Mike posted on his Twitter about it, saying "Our tour plans are about playing music for fans. Its not about politics. Stop tweeting me with nonsense or I will block you. Love, M :)" Good deal. - Xero21 reports here about No one is exactly sure as to what this IS, but enjoy it nevertheless, haha. - Look here for the "A Thousand Suns" debut information... The CD lost / came in 2nd on the charts to Trey Songz's latest CD. Didn't Meteora and Minutes To Midnight debut at #1? - This thread has a video from MTV.com of Mike recording the vocals and the guitar solo for "Waiting For The End". Why didn't we get more of this in the "Meeting Of A Thousand Suns" DVD? - And lastly, Mace Byers from Grey Daze is a dumbass trying to resell fake CD-Rs of Grey Daze albums and earn some serious $$$ off of LP fans. That entire shindig is right here. Don't buy from this clown. And there's your news!

I'm not talking about incidents lol. I'm saying the crowds will be LOUD and AWESOME. Much more so than a regular LP show!

Holy shit that is so awesome. These crowds will blow the entire world tour to hell and back with how insane they'll be lol. I can't wait to see this. Hopefully the Brazilians aren't like they usually are and are like "OMG U CAN ONLY HAEV IT 4 ALL UR RARES ON UR TRADIN LIST!!11seven"

No, these download links are NOT illegal. The DSP would be if it was posted but it currently is not. These are fine.

LP flies everywhere, lol. They can easily take 2 touring rigs to Australia. In fact, I'm sure they do now in case something screws up. There's plenty of room before Brisbane and there's 3 days after Brisbane too. Guessing they'll add 2nd shows in a few cities (? @ where they'll fit in date-wise) and then add Auckland. Didn't Rob give an interview recently and say they were excited to return to New Zealand this year? lol

No, Mike was talking about the record contract. He said they deserved to have the record contract canceled if they can't meet the deadline for the album with WBR. LOL Medal Of Honor? The only thing that had anything to do with that was Catalyst. He's talking about the album, not one song.

Editing sounds a bit odd, like it seems barely anything is live except the vocals and bridge guitar. The rest might be sampled lol

lol @ you being so pissed you make up bullshit. Jesus, give me a break. If you want to talk about stalking, talk about Ana and Phoenix.

Sounds like the same problem Death Magnetic by Metallica had of being way too loud.

Last Aussie tour had a lot of singles but was great. Brisbane and Sydney were badass shows. The show Chester broke his wrist at in Melbourne is crazy. Even Auckland had great crowds. Hope we get DSPs sooner than 3 years later this time LOL

Can we expect another post with better files soon? From Serg or Garrett? Or Jonas?

Mike admitted he lipsynched but he also said he wanted to do it live. It was a mixture. They played the album version over the PA system live but he also tried to sing it very quietly. Requiem and Fallout had that. So yeah it was a lipsynch in a way but a very minuscule one. Still interesting to bring up in a debate and lol @ all the people thinking I posted that for "attention". Just bringing up something to discuss.

What in the world? How am I being UNGRATEFUL to the band? I'm not being ungrateful at all with that LOL. I support the band, I'd say more than 75% of fans. I go see them in Europe, I buy everything, I spend HOURS on LPLive. That's crazy to say that about me, LOL. I'm sure Mike hates LPL compared to LPA but honestly...does that really matter? You've known me for how long? I have been a fan of this band since Hybrid Theory dropped. I am in no way UNGRATEFUL to Linkin Park. Hell yeah I criticize them a lot though. Hardcore fans are the hardest critics of a band - that's a fact. Sometimes it's true though (see: this statement by Chester being BS + Mike lipsynching Requiem in NYC). Actually genius...wait. Have you even seen this? http://lplive.net/2009.php LPLive = Linkin Park Live. There's a live guide on this website. First show in two years? What is your source on that? I'll list you the shows the band played in the last two years and won't include those smaller shows. Full shows. 21/07/2009 - Athens, Greece 23/07/2009 - Graz, Austria - I was at this show 28/07/2009 - Zurich, Switzerland - I was also at this show 30/07/2009 - Stuttgart, Germany - Also at this one 02/08/2009 - Grafenhainichen, Germany - Guess what? Here too 11/08/2009 - Okinawa, Japan 15/08/2009 - Shanghai, China 16/08/2009 - Macao, China Did you not see they did an entire Europe and Asian Tour last year? Plus they did a full show at Epicenter in LA, which even had DBS there. Full concert. http://lplive.net/2008.php Now go back to 2008. Since Projekt Revolution 2008 ended before September 2008, you can't count that. So, on to the next. Valerie won the Verizon contest and LP was going to play at the University of Las Vegas for her + a bunch of her college friends at the Hard Rock Hotel. Date? October 16, 2008. Count that. Plus, LP booked a Music For Relief Benefit Tour in October in Asia that was canceled for Chester's injury to his back from when he was playing with his kid. That was 5 shows (4 in China, one in Taiwan). But don't count those. I'm not trying to be an ass to you but I'm telling you what the fact of the matter is. LP HAS played MANY shows in the past TWO years. For your sake, I didn't even list the FULL sets they did at any festivals so I can tell you it was completely their own show. Those shows: Rock'n Coke, Sonisphere (x2), Tuborg Greenfest, Rock One, Summer Sonic (x2), 2009 Summer Rock Summit, and Epicenter. DBS played at one Sonisphere, Summer Sonic (x2), and Epicenter. Total full shows LP booked in the last TWO years (UNLV show counts + NYC 9/14): 23 Total full shows LP played in the last TWO years (75 min+): 18 Total shows LP played on their own (no festivals): 9 Total shows LP played at all (small shit included): 22 So you're seriously trying to tell me LP hasn't played live in two years? Are you kidding me? Hell, I SAW THEM LIVE FOUR TIMES LAST YEAR.

LP is so dumb sometimes. "Linkin Park played their first show in nearly two years (or, as Chester Bennington put it, "two f---ing years")" What the fuck.

No I didn't do this for traffic. At all. I did this because this is LPLive and this is the first time I've ever noticed anything like this before. This is purely for discussion. Same thing I do when I find something cool/odd/interesting LP live-wise. Like "SAY FUCK THAT SIDE" Bleed It Out video from Zurich 2007. I actually didn't know Mike shouted out the site until after this was posted. I do agree it was bad timing but I wasn't aware of it at the time. When I was informed, I told the person that questioned it to move it to the live discussion area. I didn't like ATS the first listen but I'm a huge fan now. Great album. lol @ me hating EVERYTHING the first listen. I don't hate ATS, I don't hate Mike, I don't hate Requiem. This was just something small I noticed that I wanted to prod people to discuss. If you think I do things for traffic you're entirely mistaken. I DO time things around traffic spikes (like when a tour starts I'll post an exclusive or like last night when I posted the Gift-away when the show was over). Also, Mike posted this in a comment on his blog:

If Jay is in the country at the same time, he's going to do it. It's too perfect of a situation. He'll be there for LP. Numb/Encore in Australia, I'm calling it. Maybe not all shows but he might do it for 1-2 shows.

No, MTM, RTR, ATS. Dunno if LPU9 counts or not.

Fixed the link; sorry. Agreed. I think he really is lipsynching this; no way they can get that to sound EXACTLY like the studio version.

Linkin Park's performance of "The Requiem" last night raised some eyebrows among fans. Why? It appears that Mike lipsynched vocals for the first known time in LP live history. Watch him sing; Mike looks to be pretending to sing the actual part while the studio vocals from "The Requiem" play. Check out the YouTube video For "Fallout", it appears the studio vocals played as well, but Mike appears to be singing over them. Video of that Your thoughts, LP fans? Is he really lip synching?

This. I'll compare to the CD version but I am 99.9% sure this is lip synched. Mike is pretending to sing it when he's not.

Mike is lipsynching on this. What in the world.
