Hybrid1988

Yeah I agree. I hope everything is ok. What a weird way to start a tour. Bummed for the fans and for the band. Nobody wins in a situation like this..

What the hell kind of issues can arise from posting a setlist!?

I know. I guess I could use a break to catch my breath during the song ha!

Ballad Medley / What I've Done / Burn It Down, Please GTFO my setlists!! #linkinnark

Whaaaaaat!? you must be crazy! haha I'd love to see Burning In The Skies live. SO sad I missed the only LA date they played it at. I'd be ok with this switch because I've been lucky enough to see Blackout a couple of times. On another note, here is my personal and early list for songs that need to take a break: Numb Breaking The Habit What I've Done Numb Breaking The Habit Numb What I've Done Numb/BTH/WID lulz.

After some time to sit and think about it, I honestly think that's what made me disappointed in the song. Not so much the song itself (although I still think it's a bit meh). I guess you sometimes can't help but have your judgement and impressions clouded by the artist's own thoughts and opinions.

It blows my mind that we've come to a point in music that "It's a single" could be considered a worthy defense of a song. There's no other genre besides popular music that you will hear that statement thrown around. You don't hear fans of metal, underground hip hop, or classical say "oh well, yeah, I mean, it's a single so what did you expect?"

I am well aware that hell would freeze over before we get anything close to a metal record by the band. However, I think guilty All The Same is amazing and I expected this song to have that similar "oomph" and aggression. Like I said, I guess i'm more bothered by Mike's incessant hype (to be fair, he's not going to go out and say the album is weak). It'd be fine if he said they wanted to make a more aggressive record but to passive aggressively call out other artists and release a song that sounds like everything else they've done is kind of lame. I can see how my post implies that I think the album is going to be weak though. I didn't think my post through too well haha.

I'm not really feeling this one. Sounds like your typical by the numbers radio friendly LP song. I think what makes my disappointment worse was all the shit that Mike has been talking in the media. He's been hyping up the record to be loud and aggressive while slamming the music being played on the radio and then they go and release a song like this. I guess it didn't help that LPA hyped this song up to be some grand opus. Mike was right about one thing though, this ain't a Meshuggah or Botch record so far.

Oh come on, you can't really believe that...

Woo! Monday! That's sooner than I expected! Also, are BBC premieres favored because it's the easiest time zone to work with?

Maybe not 2 singles but we've had 2 song releases before an album drop. Case in point: The Catalyst/Wretches and Kings, and Burn It Down/Lies Greed Misery. I wanna say they released a second song afer What I've Done but I don't really remember. I recall hearing most of Given Up before release though. That might have been a leak though.

No way man. 98.7 is way softer than KROQ. At least KROQ sometimes (strong emphasis on sometimes) plays something like Rob Zombie and SOAD but even then, it's a rarity. They don't even play LP as much as they used to. All I ever hear on both stations is stuff like AVICII, Lorde, etc.

Calling it now. This song will be the most accessible/the first "real" single.

God I hope so.

That's a nice short interview! It's not that surprising to hear that Brad hasn't been wanting to play guitar lately. It comes through in the music a lot since it's had a minimal presence lately. I'm really glad to hear that Mike inspired him to play again. I'm also very excited to hear that Mike wanted to tap into a more energetic rock sound for this album. This might shape up to be a "return to form" that a lot of older fans have been clamoring for! Still staying cautiously optimistic though...

30STM just tweeted about 30 minutes ago: "Guess what? GIGANTIC NEWS COMING TOMORROW!!! RT if you're ready. → http://thirtysecondstomars.com " Coincidence? Probably not.

Expected electronics, got kickass guitars instead. SO MUCH YES

You sneaky sneaky man.

When I saw that rehearsal pic, my first thought was "Hands Held High"! Then I got overly optimistic and thought "hmm, maybe Robot Boy". Then I became realistic and said "who am I kidding? It's going to be Iridescent".

so my prediction for tomorrow is: Nancy and Ann on COG and The Filharmonic on the medley.
