$10 a year for that

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.

Why does the whole THP era feel strange to you?

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 did not know that. Wow, Wtf?

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.

Easier To Run is not a bad song, but for me it is the weakest song on Meteora.

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.

They did. But Mike mentioned Mark begrudgingly did so. Meaning he wasn’t too happy about it

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

The last proper show the band played in the city was at Madison Square Garden in February 2011 on the A Thousand Suns World Tour. This show is legendary amongst fans for the proshot recording released by FUSE TV and the epic setlist the band played, specifically changing things up for the night, including tracks like 'Blackout' and 'When They Come For Me' as an encore opener from the new album, as well as including plenty of fan favorites like 'No More Sorrow,' 'From The Inside,' and 'Lying From You' in the mix. While most remember this show for the epic setlist, this one holds a particularly special place in my heart - this show was the first concert I ever went to! While it set me off on a path I'd never financially recover from, it certainly made its mark on my little 11-year old self, because here I am!

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.

Oh shoot, was that you? Of course it was you.

Thanks a ton. We're no strangers here but there's still a lot of people who don't realize how much unseen footage there's still out there, hidden for whatever stupid greedy reason.

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.

I'd guess 5 footage for MTM20

- SS06 (so dreamed of by fans) I can't wait to see "Reading My Eyes," which would still leave a discreet way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Xero tape. Just a tip 😉

- Two for 2007
- Two for 2008.

The 2008 shows have great set lists.

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.

That massively sped up Crawling has to be one of the worst-sounding things they have ever done live. The 2014 setlists were a total mess with the shortened DJ-style songs. Goodness.

 

Why in the world would you speed the song up that much?

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).

The great tragedy here is one that I also feel as a fan - seeing the countless Chester fans spewing the most unjustified and hateful shit makes me sometimes lose sight of what Chester himself was: an amazing man who would have 100% loved seeing LP 2.0 flourish.

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.

LP committed to release a heavy and raw rock record knowing that the market was not going to reward it commercially and they did it for the reasons Mike talked about. 

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.

2014 Mike is one of LP's biggest blunders, for sure. That was embarrasing.

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.

Well well well looking out for those who said they wouldnt tour in Spain. They literally had promo in Madrid, it was an obvious call.

Will make sure to buy the tickets, doubt they will sell out tho, fan base is not huge in Spain

The Spain LP community is small but noisy. Unfortunately, LP here is still viewed as a 2004 band, and many people who liked back then just see them as a nostalgia act. 

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.

They do shoot every single behind the scenes moment. More than ever now.

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

Guys I appreciate your answers but I didn't ask you what you prefer to be on TRT20 nor I didn't ask you to tell me if you think there will be TRT20 or not.

Short answer: the 2015 LA show.

I honestly might prefer the early version/demo with the different note/key, sounds neat.

Man this isn't enough, the band needs to put out a full documentary that talks about the seven years without linkin park, the whole journey, the process, who else worked w them on studio.

They completely stopped shooting/uploading any kind of full-length documentary (the 'Inside LIVING THINGS' was a weird Xbox Live exclusive 20-minute short doc that left me very underwhelmed) since ATS which I believe it's still their best 'making of' to this date. I would've LOVED to see OML/FZ and the whole painful but creative progress that they went through with Chester and Emily respectively, I asked it for years but I understood why they prefered the intimacy of the process and chose to post short LPTV clips instead compared to their early young mindset of shooting nearly every single BTS moment.

Nothing is confirmed but if it will be which show would have 90% chances to be included on TRT20?

On 4/12/2025 at 8:17 PM, thigolpbr said:

Interestingly, I'm listening to the entire album right now. I'm currently on the "High Road" track.

What I'd like to see:

- DVD with the full show in Osaka or Chiba 2006.

I don't think Mike would be interested at this point to do anything for TRT/FM, knowing all the confusing mess that has happened (as far as we publicly know) with the project the past decade or so it's highly unlikely. Warner probably releases some 20th anniversary merch and/or re-release but that's about it. The MTM20 seems way more likely and for me I'd kill to have an European DVD show of 2008 where they played Reading My Eyes again (aside of Japan '06).

It's gonna be Welcome 10th anniversary in a way as well. Since I don't think Mike would do anything with Fort Minor anymore, if something's ever gonna happen with it this year, I'd rather have everything they got on Fort Minor with this 20th anniversary thing. I'd love to have a full 2015 one-man-band show included in there.

I hope they just release everything Fort Minor and be done with it.

Lower your expectations. I'd love to finally see that 2015 gig they supposedly shot in LA but Mike is 100% focused on LP now.

shitty government

Just government? Religion plays a massive part of it too and generally the idea of (straight) men being the centre of society, not just there but in many places. Wouldn't be an hypocrite myself saying they shouldn't play shows where human rights are being violated, because they would cancel half of the shows next year.

But anyway, stay safe and have fun.

Just finished now and I honestly thought it was going to be HT 3.0, thankfully it wasn't.

I had fun, quite solid. I greatly appreciate the Fuse & Joe sample references from his Tasty Gas Station vinyl as a person who when someone says 'old school LP' instead of thinking 2000-2006 I sometimes go back to 1996-1999/pre-HT release, it's funny how brains and perspectives work 🤠. I totally get why they decided to go back to basics but again, my brain played tricks on me and I got used hearing the band experiment for so many years after 2003 that for whatever reason I'm still stuck on that mindset, maybe I'm getting old or maybe cause I listen to lots of different stuff I'm used to variety over always wanting to hear one specific type of sound. 

Can't choose a fav for now, I need multiple listenings to make up my mind, hearing these songs live helps too (ATS became my personal favorite LP record due to also how fucking awesome the songs sounded live). Very excited for the chance of seeing them next year.

I assume this means no DL code if you get the physical Deluxe Edition or similar? 5$ for everything is a massive steal, especially compared to other digital stores who charge you more for less.
