  1. I agree with everything you said. They seem genuinely happy and more importantly, Chester seems to love this so much...you can visibly see how much he enjoys doing this.

     

    That sucks he has to ice his foot ASAP after the shows. They are playing close to 2 hours, but the LP sets (while shorter) are more energetic. I bet he's on the micstand a lot more.

    It's honestly a blessing that he's able to get back on stage and rock it with two bands for this long every other night after an injury like that. Having just gone through partial knee reconstruction surgery I can tell you that just having to use ice is probably nothing for him by now, 2nd nature.

  2.  

    Only Metallica, Tool and Pearl Jam, it seems.

    Kind of ironic too, didn't Pearl Jam open for LP back in 07? Or was that vice versa too? Anyway, this should be a huge honor for the band, ROR is one of the most intense American metal festivals around, which means that people are noticing the bands return to heavy music. Seriously even tempted to make the trip out myself from New Jersey because three of my top 15 favorite bands are headlining.

  3. I think that there is a fine line between what can be called "rock" and pop," that changes throughout the years and decades. In the 80's, you might have said the difference between pop and rock would be Madonna and U2. In the 90's, you could say the fine line was between Ace of Base and Soundgarden, but ultimately it will always change. But what we can always count on is Linkin Park being the band to cross over both lines and mesh them into one big epic album that pushes both sides of the boundaries!

  4. Saturday is going to be a truly historic, legendary, and balls to the walls (because if we're going back to 2000, why not ressurect some old school phrases too?) EPIC day for Linkin Park, the fans, and everybody at Download. I still find it SO hard to believe that this is actually happening and my pessimistic side is expecting some Mike style troll or delay from the band or something. But my very minor cynicism aside, SHIT WILL GO DOWN SATURDAY AT DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL.

  5. WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM!!!!! *what was going through my head as soon as the heavy parts came in.* You can totally hear Darons influence in the instrumental but SHIT, this might be the heaviest instrumental they've ever played!!

  6. The lack of effort in this song disappointed me so much. I have always given LP the benefit of the doubt when it comes to softer songs because they usually display an extremely original brand of creativity that helps define them as a band. In fact, I have made it clear numerous times that A Thousand Suns was my favorite record of theirs since Hybrid Theory. This time however, they simply rehashed old Meteora synths with extremely lazy lyrics. This song is officially going down as my least favorite LP song of all time. I really hope that it's not meant to represent the new record in any way, shape, or form, and simply exists to meet their radio friendly single quota. Guilty All The Same was way better as a representative of this record if it is as heavy as they claim it is. Until It's Gone gets a 2/10 and that's being generous.
