Hybrid1988

lol @ bumping an ancient thread. I will admit though, the replies are super entertaining and a snapshot of a particular moment in time. Guess Ian really was a piece of shit.

LOL! First thing I thought of when he was talking about the message board feedback. "Oh Alex definitely lurked LPL for a while" hahaha. Love what Alex brings to the band's performances. He's got great energy and definitely keeps the spirit of the bands sound front and center. Super curious what he could contribute in the studio if the band/Alex ever wants to go that route at some point.

Hell yeah brothers! I am on my way to Intuit! Unshatter let’s goooo!!

I'll never forget walking into that air conditioned soundstage from the 100 degree Burbank heat and seeing that stage and the instruments wrapped in plastic. I knew at that moment that a new era was beginning. I still get chills thinking about it.

This is one of the coolest LP vids I’ve seen. I’m not a musician but I absolutely love seeing how the sausage is made. I have such a greater appreciation for the live show after viewing these rundown videos. There’s so much going on that most people don’t notice with a bunch of pros like this at the helm. I hope we get more technical videos from the band and crew in the future.

Wow I haven’t heard this song in years!

Wish they made a tribute Chester card.

I think this is the best of the three new songs. Feels a little different than other FZ songs and has that album closer energy. Good way to close out the FZ studio songs era. I will say that the LYF and LFY acronyms being so similar is already annoying me.

I’d much rather they play an LP song than Where’d You Go.

That Tulsa poster might be the worst gig poster I have ever seen.

Heh, I actually like this one more than the default FZ cover. Puts that new logo front and center in a big way.

Unfortunately, I don't think the new LP was a big enough draw for Dodgers Stadium. Sucks, but is what it is. I'm not trying to be whiney or anything (hell, some people never get/got a chance to see them at all so I try to keep things in perspective) but it is a little disappointing for sure. I'm not over here burning my LP collection or anything lol.

Damn. I live way closer to Dodger Stadium. I also had amazing seats and now I gotta fight for new ones all over again in a much smaller venue where LPU membership is massive. Also, NO MORE QOTSA!? What an absolute downgrade across the board. Hard not to be a little bummed here.

Who made the call to make everyone sit down? lol

Sounds good, short and sweet like most LP songs. Does not sound like Paramore, sounds like LP lol.

Thank you for your service.

Even as an instrumental, The Emptiness Machine rules. One of the strongest songs they’ve ever made. They always create their best material when they take their time.

I’m 100% in favor of dropping Crawling for Blackout.

where are you in the video man!?

Posted in shoutbox but saying in here in the thread as well. Giving LPU first dibs to pre order show posters is such a legendary move. This makes snagging one so much less stressful. The poster scene is inundated by scalpers so not having to worry so much about competing against them is a relief. Nobody treats their fans better than this band I swear. The Cure did something similar with their posters but for the most part, a move like this is pretty rare or non-existent. Any fan of bands like DMB, Tool, NIN, etc. can attest to how stressful the poster scene can be. Going to try for a signed LA but will be happy with an unsigned just to avoid the hassle at the show.

Don’t forget, meeting tons of fans increases the risk they could get sick. Wouldn’t want them to have to cancel shows or play at less than 100%. I think the summit option is a good compromise if they every feel comfortable doing them again.

I have this thought every time I read any interview with Brad lmao

I think a small box set just focused purely on music and not a ton of extras would be cool. TRT, We Major, and FM Militia songs on vinyl is all I need. Would be more than happy to just have that, even if they are sold separately.

Wild stuff. Crazy to think that LP as we know them might have never existed without Jeff. Maybe The band just never makes it. The story of the band and their rise is seriously such a mash up of hard work and serendipity.
