You luck bastard. Those specific european summer shows didn't get a proper professional release for whatever reason until Milton Keynes (aside of Madrid and Lisboa) that didn't included RME. You got to experience some great perfomances throughout the years over there Either you saw Brad in 2015 walking around the stage OR you didn't actually saw him his early 20s jumping and moving like a mad man during Forgotten. No that shit again, I thought we have moved on. LP has always been energetic and having fun.

RTN was literally everywhere around 2005-06, the NBA Live 06 videogame was one of my favorites and I couldn't stop listening to it. And yes I was one of those that for years I didn't make the LP/FM connection, wasn't even aware of SOB being involved until a couple of years later. I'm forever grateful for this record, I'm even more grateful for all the awesome and incredible B-Sides I discovered since then. Tools of the Trade is one of my favorite Mike related tracks. Speaking of Mike, he forgot to post the celebration yesterday and he just did it a couple of moments ago lol

And this, potentially and likely, also means why we will still not get something like RAR 07 for a possible MTM 20 release (hopefully I'm wrong) People still underestimate how much power big mainstream labels have over artists, even with a massive band like LP. Sigh, my unrealistic expectations of them going independent are still alive and well.

Great perfomance and pretty decent mixing/video from my end. Can we please keep this quality as the standard moving forward? I'm tired of getting 720p audio/video shitty vibes from even less than 10 years ago. The Rock in Rio 2012 livestream still holds up perfectly fine, we're already able to surpase that 🤝

What. Aside of a 'few' funny sentences, since THP all of their albums have been self-produced.

The 2007-2012 shows from what I recall were free if you attended them by giving you a code. I think that was the only way to get them legally (it's been almost 13 years since the last one in South Africa, my memory is fuzzy). I do remember some shows/songs not being available due to legal or other issues, especially Wisdom, Justice & Love which included a MLK sample. Not a lawyer by any stretch of the imagination but there's multiple layers of reasons preventing from that to ever happen, sadly. We're all blessed with these Pinkpop perfomances, even if some ended up being incomplete (sigh). I fucking wish the Download or Rock am Ring YT page would dare to do something similar out of nowhere, but.. 😟 Same 'selfish' dude who filmed the Lockout video with the band? Not implying Felipe owns the footage like that guy named Marc, of course he doesn't, but he has worked his ass off for over 20 years asking and begging for those tapes, the selfish ones are some of those original owners who probably and realistically would not lose any credibility or their jobs if they were going to give it away, especially the big shows.

Only Legacy members, the rest pay 25 and that's a bit too much for what they give.

Great show from what I saw online. Anyway, I'm not surprised by the obvious new accounts coming here to stir the poit only because they're extremely attached to a famous guy who passed 8 years ago and still not understanding the situation and how everyone has dealt with his loss properly like mature adults. I am though let down (no pun intended) by a long time user speaking out like a newcomer.

You needed to be there at the time but if you look up pretty much any interview on YT from some band members, especially Mike, he came off as if he was trying to prove something with the album like if they wouldn't had made any heavy songs before. I didn't mind it but at times it was too damn much, so much 3 years later they made their poppiest/softest record ever. You didn't need to prove anything, you needed to make a good record, which apparently they failed (kinda) to do as promised they made that album to be played live. Maybe I'm cherry picking with some words but I still have a big gripe with that era.

I'm paying 9,99$ so I'm not complaining, but I do wish we've had better perks like back then. If they're gonna release any LPU CD it's gonna be new stuff (FZ demos), anything involving Chester makes a crap ton of money so Warner is keeping it for anniversary/compillations only I assume.

I found out that information a couple of days after the album came out. The band kinda mentioned him in some interviews but they didn't make too much noise about it. Like, the legendary guy who mixed your 2 biggest records of your entire catalogue? Would be pretty logical to properly credit him, it was somewhat odd, the entire THP era still feels off to me anyway. I totally get why the band might think it's a bit too melodramatic but it's still a decent song, really like the synths/ambient sounds, Mike/Joe have always nailed them.

I've always assumed Mark didn't mind them releasing older songs he wrote. Odd.

Wait, in 2011 you were 11? You are a 2000 child? No way LMAO (never realized it until I saw your public bio here) damn I feel so old. I was still a teenager when I saw that awesome show and been following the band for over 6 years at the time.

I definitely hear some AI/enhanced bullshit on Faint but also some legit audio directly from the original recording. At this point it would be a lot easier to create multitrack samples straight from Joe's vinyl.

Can't answer the original comment as it seems that it's gone 🤨 But, aside of the obvious shows (for whatever reason I still don't consider SS '06 a MTM show BUT that perfomance took place during the making of the record so..) I would add a 2008 European date where they randomly played RME. I've always wondered why they didn't release any professional audio recording from those specific shows.

Good god I half forgot about this. I still have my big gripes with that whole era, don't make me throw more crap onto it. Still really enjoy some of those perfomances but that type of shit is why I enjoyed the short OML ride so goddamn much in comparison. Why play those songs just to short them up? Get rid of them if you really don't enjoy it at that point (don't care if they're the big singles and they were somewhat obligated to play them, felt so odd to hear it that way).

We all have our own 'what ifs' moments for anything that we appreciate and love, I've definitely had my thoughts on how Chester would've handled the pandemic and (probably) and realistically quit making public appereances and potentially generally quitting music just to focus on his own well mental being. I 2000% see him support Emily and the rest of the band to keep going without him, my heart says there's no question about it. Besides that I can't add much to the topic. Social media/online has ruined a lot of things thinking it's how real life works and it's how people deal with loss. Not surprised. The more we ignore the obvious "small" noise the better, they did it Mike on Twitch 5 years ago, they're not gonna change their pathethic shitty childish mindset now. Loved Mike's PT era, loved his 2015 FM stuff too before that (can't wait for the 20th anniversary this year perhaps), I support anything positive that comes out of this.

I'm all for 'new' photoshots being released (imagine if someone leaked a raw protoshot of something like Live Earth 07 with the full break included) but I still feel let down by not getting the whole thing.

And then 3 years later they released their poppiest record. Like someone said, it was a visceral marketing made it that way on purpose to fit the themes of the album and there's 0 wrong with all of it, it's the way Mike phrased with certain statements that came off a bit eye rolling, They already made very loud and heavy tracks at the time, there was other ways to promote the album IMO. I vividly remember pretty much watching/reading all THP interviews at the time, I was enjoying the record (still do to a certain degree) until Mike "farted" those cheesy thoughts out of nowhere for the sake of getting easy headlines I assume lol. God forbid I still have a small grudge with the way he potrayed himself at that time or other times they might've said something stupid. It's not holding anyone accountable, it's mostly nitpicking certain things that I find annoying, that's it.

I'm not a festival person so this is great news if they keep headlining non-festival dates, I wonder why they didn't do them as much with Chester (at least from memory). I'm going next year, I'll be in the LPU Pit, my first time as a very long time fan! With a bit of (10%) luck I'll get a hat from Mike lol

Crossing fingers for another Acoustic Christmas show. Loved all of those perfomances they did, some of their best of their entire career.

I didn't expect a Super Bowl type of perfomance but that was still pretty cool.

From what I've read they did play 3 shows early on in 2001 with Deftones, '03, '08, the MTV show in 2010 and 2017, that's it. I might understand their frustation but they somewhat stopped being popular there since MTM even if there's still a small loud minority who likes them.

I meant post that footage to the world and professionaly edited like their making of's.

Short answer: the 2015 LA show.
