Says the fool that went to Itawamba? Let's hear it, god damnit, let's hear it. Where's your talented music at?

I assume she's a member of that internal WBR website that was giving us info on Catalyst's release date, Blackbirds's release date, etc. Probably got it from there. Not posting this in Newswire until there's a legit public source. I know management will flip shit and blow up if we post something someone submitted us from that random site, so I'm hesitant on this for now.

I thought Chester said before the MTM sessions he was done with alcohol/drugs. Then in 08 we find out when they made MTM he'd come into the studio high as kite and drunk as a skunk lol. He might say one thing but don't tell me he hasn't done any of that in a long time. Look at what he released (see: DBS). Throw Chester into the studio with all of the INSANE Julien-K guys for a few months...that equals Ryan and Chester being the Hugh Hefner of pot and alcohol, saying "omg let's record this on the first take".... -> then Out Of Ashes was born. Chester sang great when he was all over the drugs/alcohol.

Show is sold out?!

MikeF says in the forum: "The video for "The Catalyst" will be released on August 26th, as MTVLA reports." Thoughts? What do you expect?

Wish I knew the answer to this.

I'm sure Chester still drinks and smokes some pot. No way he doesn't do any of that anymore.

With the update today I had to reinstall it on my iPhone LOL

Raleigh 2007, go to YouTube and type in linkin no more sorrow raleigh Front row video, it's badass. Band storms the front of the stage, beach balls flying onto the stage with Chester kicking them back, band is bringing it.

I think I might get the $99 one, but it sucks it's thru Bandmerch. Honestly the hands down worst business to deal with in the world. Awful. For now I just preordered on iTunes so I get it ASAP. I want the CD/DVD so I might get that from Amazon or something.

Send it in!

Has anyone played the game more recently than a week after it was first released? lol

I wish the bonus track would be a live version of a song we need like Reading My Eyes from 2008 or something. Or a demo from the CD or a b-side. We already have Blackbirds. I feel like the band, whether intentionally or unintentionally, misled a lot of fans into buying 8BR. All of the press about the game and all the band's statements (mostly Mike) said that the ONLY way to get this song Blackbirds was to buy the game for $5. And I know a ton of people (myself included) bought it just to get the song. $5 later, they say it's a b-side on the CD. WTF.

Cool that he went around to LP.com, the LPU and UStream. I wish he'd check LPLive and LPA's shoutboxes and drop a comment sometime.

Not a fan of this song. I actually wasn't even really excited for it, which is really weird considering how big of an LP fan I am. For WID's release I was online like 16+ hours a day the few days before it was on that South American radio station, etc...was up really early to hear the KROQ interview with Mike about it, etc. For this song, I was like ...ehh. Anyway all that aside, I give the song a 3/10. The fact of the matter is, this is their worst single they have released to date. I really think the entire first half of the song is terrible. I don't like the techno electronica beat with all the insanely layered synth at all. Just not up my alley, I don't feel it. The lyrics are really really repetitive...I guess catchy if you like it but I think the wet vocals and really overproduced stuff (see T-Pain, or worse than New Divide vox) is not good at all. Lyrics don't do anything for me...REALLY weird song structure. Just not feeling that gospel rave stuff. Drum machine, no thanks. It's by far the weirdest thing I've ever heard from Linkin Park, not up my alley at all. Disappointing to me when I hear a song as amazing as "Across The Line", then go to this for the first single. This is really distant from past LP singles and I feel this one is going to chase the casual fans. With that said, I like the second half of the song. Piano, great. Mike is singing..reminds me of Drum Song. Not bad at all. Rob is in this part of the song...Chester comes in strong with his part. It's a nice breakdown and build up to end the song. HHH live-style vocals (or TLTGYA) - I like that stuff. Good second part of the song, but this as a single... O_o It really surprises me there's more Joe in the first 25 seconds of this song than I heard in all of MTM combined. How is Mike going to be able to play this live and not play "No Roads Left"? 3/10, weak song in my opinion. Hope the rest of the CD is good. I am expecting a few songs like this, a few like Shadow and a few like Given Up.

Hope this is the first of many new updates. Anyone have any specifics on the new characters?

Do any of you have the South American tickets yet?

You know damn well they are playing other countries. LP can't help it the demand in Germany is insane. They'll play Europe again in 2011, don't worry.

Probably an exclusive download link. I say Sunday.

It was exactly this tight for MTM. Nothing is different.

Birmingham would be great. Yeah email works! mark@lplive.net Thanks!

That works too. It doesn't have to be a physical ticket. If you want to send it in, I can edit it accordingly so your name isn't shown or anything. Or you can send it in after the show or something. Up to you but e-tix work - I even put up Preston's from Tampa 08.

The tour is slowly getting closer and we're still missing a ton of ticket stubs. I was hoping that starting with 2010 we could get ticket stubs for EVERY show the band plays the rest of its career. WELL, that's not the case it seems, lol. What's funny is how we have ticket stubs from all of the German shows (except Dortmund because it hasn't shipped yet) - Berlin, Stuttgart, Köln, Hamburg and Frankfurt. But we're missing every single other show in 2010 except Manchester and Zürich. So here's my shoutout asking for stubs from the other cities. South America Buenos Aires (when available) Santiago Itú Europe Linz Paris Dortmund (when available) Herning Birmingham London (both nights) I'm not sure why we aren't really getting any except from LPLive staff members that are going to the German shows. We don't post them until AFTER the show so if that's your concern you don't have to be worried about that. Hopefully we get some more! Thanks! The image submission is semi-broken (you can still submit images and it works, but it gives an error after you hit submit...it's being fixed). If you have anything to submit (we're taking all posters, old ticket stubs, etc too) then you can reply to this post with an attachment or send it via email to mark@lplive.net.

99x is in my city I love them lol

LP thinking about what to play live is holding up the new album.
