LP has in ear monitors that are mixed just like Pooch mixes the live sound you hear at the shows. There is a separate in ear monitor guy that mixes them - he just mixes just what LP hears in their in ears. Anyway than another person is responsible for the click tracks. Click tracks are started in the in ears for every song of the setlist except the piano songs (Pushing Me Away / My December / etc). The guy (Dylan) starts them and then LP comes in whenever they are ready. This is true for songs like Reading My Eyes and Valentine's Day too when it appears Rob starts the song, but the click track always comes first. Dylan also gets a cue from Joe to start Cure For The Itch when it is in the encore and gets a cue from them to start the long intros (One Step Closer in 2007 & 2008, No More Sorrow, What I've Done, etc). Whoever is closest to him usually just gives him a cue, so it could be anyone in the band. Session is included in this. On New Divide after Mike does his synth/keyboard intro, Dylan starts a click track, which lets Joe know when he should start the regular ND intro you hear. So yes there are in ear monitors the band uses to start ALL of the songs except the keyboard (piano version) ones. Even Shadow Of The Day has a click track - in some live performances you can see Mike nodding his head to it before you even hear the intro to SOTD start, etc.

Derek and I are 99% sure the Rob chat before MTM dropped was a robot. Worst band chat I've ever been a part of. I don't think I've been in one with Joe either actually? Interesting. I was getting pretty down on the Chester one info-wise until he said fuck it and stayed like 2+ hours for the fans. Epic. Mike is the all time hands down best band member for chats, he comes in with his lowercase awesomeness and spills out anything and everything. I am looking for Rob to rebound off of his last bad LPU chat and give us a good one this time - I think he can do it! Info on the new album would be great.

I am 100% positive LP didn't play.

Potential LPL M&G in the works. I'll see what we can do. lol @ Europe getting the only LPL M&Gs. European fans = win.

Hope some of you Germans can go!

Mike: Here's the info from their blog, and a picture from the event. Keep an eye out online, as there will be some performances--including one by Dead By Sunrise. blog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/mak...re-musical.html

DBS needs an official website with show announcements, press announcements, etc ASAP. Management failure. Put lyrics, pics, load it up. DBS COULD have an epic website but instead, they have none. MySpace is garbage.

Adam is not there, and more people post on the LPU Twitter than just Adam, by the way.

Chance of us getting a setlist: 1% lol

My favorite hair of Mike's was when it was orange in mid-2000. God damn it was sweet, lol.

It's $19.99 for the digital download + USB Uzi. $9.99 for just the CD + digital download. $5.99 for just the digital download. $55 is: -Digital download -USB Uzi -Koala shirt Worth it in my opinion, but your choice is your choice. CD is good, so I would recommend supporting the guys and at least picking up something.

See you there?

After listening a few times through now, I agree with him. This is a hot CD. Very big fan of this album...excellent work all around.

Funny you say that since I took AP US History last year and am currently in American Government, Constitutional Law and US History again, lol.

I feel like we were very misled with MTM, but hey, that's only my opinion.

Fuck that; it's already fucked up, Obama will make the damn thing worse. Obama has done zero things positive for this country since he got into office.

I wonder if the song is heavy. I also wonder if they will play it live at all.

I would really like him to get better so the Deftones can get their original lineup back on the road and making music. They are continuing to do both but I'm sure it's a burden and not the same for them.

LPLive is not a blog about all sorts of music projects outside of LP, but I thought this one was worth the mention. Chi Cheng from the Deftones was in an accident and needs your help. The Deftones and LP are very good friends as you can see from them touring together for so long as well as how Chester's kids hang out with the band occasionally and their helping out with Reanimation. From Deftones.com: "On November 2nd, 2008 our bass player and brother Chi Ling Cheng was involved in a horrific car accident which has left him in a semi-conscious state. In his journey to recovery, the Cheng family has accumulated an overwhelming amount of medical bills that insurance does not entirely cover. As a result, we will begin our mission to raise significant funds to help ensure Chi’s recovery by playing a benefit show at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA on 11/19. Tickets will go on-sale for our fans this Wednesday, 10/28 with a general on-sale to follow on Friday, 10/30. All proceeds will go to the Chi Ling Cheng Special Needs Trust that has been set up by the Cheng family to help pay for the growing medical costs required for Chi’s survival and recovery. In the event that you do not live in Los Angeles, or you don’t end up getting a ticket for the show, we will be launching a series of online auctions, an online store and making available other opportunities for you to make a donation to the Trust. More details will come soon. We have the best fans in the world and Chi values all of you greatly. Please continue to show your unwavering support by helping with this very important cause." We wish Chi & the Deftones the best and hope for a speedy recovery ASAP.

Seconded.

I want it to be LP so I can go. I'm not traveling far for DBS but if LP plays AAC that'd be so epic. Last show of 2009. Redo the "last show" (aka Epicenter) since the crowd was so...Tool-ish. Literally and figuratively.

LP @ AAC is my bet

QFT!

$150 is a bit too much - I think I'll spend that money to go to Vegas and see Alice In Chains, DBS, Muse and Cage The Elephant. The design is cool but I absolutely hate high top shoes (yuck). Mike's 2004 shoes are the most epic ones he's done yet. Wow, he sure has done a lot of shoes. Too bad I got 13s and I'm a 14. I don't even see 14s in these, oh well, lol. I attached a pic of the box of the shoes I have by Mike. Definitely my favorite. I think it's his 2nd pair he ever did - I have no idea where you can get the first pair, I guess from 2003?
