I'm going to be in NY about two weeks after they play there, and Blink is one of my favorite bands other than LP... This could've been my chance to see both bands live for the first time. Still great to see they're playing stadium shows though.

There isn't really any chance of them playing NYC on August 21st is there?

True. Hardly any casuals know it. I can see them playing the COG experience version. I don't think they'll bring UIG back though. They seemed to be tired of it as early as the Carnivores Tour, and it wasn't that big of a single. EDIT: Good Goodbye and probably LITE as well confirmed.

It added a lot of energy to the set, though. If you ask me, Rebellion and ALITS are the songs they should keep playing from THP. FM gets boring over time, and they already dropped UIG and GATS. Btw, am I the only one who thinks the VGA performance of COG was actually decent?

This kind of sucks. I hoped they'll keep it in the setlist for a while. I'm pretty sure now the only THP song they'll keep playing is Final Masquerade.

This is the video he did with Mike:

That's not so true... California debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for a grammy. The lead single Bored to Death charted on the Hot 100. They're headlining arenas and festivals around the world. Sure, they're not as big as they were back in the early 2000's but that's the same case for LP. They're still very popular and I can't see them agreeing to be an opening band when they could easily headline the same venues themselves.

A co-headliner seems about right. Blink are too big to open for LP for an entire tour.

Best song from OML so far IMO. The chorus are way better than what I thought they would be, and Mike's verse is sick. I have to agree that Stormzy's verse could've been better, but I still love the feature.

Exactly lol Mike secretly wrote the entirety of OML about hoes. All this stuff about "the most personal record we've written" is just for the media.

Stormzy's and Pusha's styles of rapping are fairly different than Mike's, so I'm not sure he could pull the verses off. But he did pull off Rakim's verse from GATS as you mentioned and some of Jay Z's verses from Encore, so who knows.

Once you've already declared the new stuff as boring, shitty and generic you're pretty much blocking any form of discussion... But it's your opinion and I respect it. Knowing LP, I'm guessing they're only going to play Mike's verse and the chorus

Couldn't have said it better myself.

But "crawling in my skin these wounds they will not heal", "we're building it up to bring it back down" or even our beloved "I wanna be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand" is better than this right? Besides, it's not like they wrote a song that says "hahahah you fouled out! You suck! See you next season!". It's about capturing that feeling.

The lyrics look way better than the ones for Battle Symphony and Heavy if you ask me, except for the chorus which is pretty much the same level. Plus, I'm very excited to hear Stormzy and Pusha on the track. Well, it's Stormzy's verse. He wrote it and that's just his style. I'm cool with it.

There are some great ideas here, but the only one I can see implemented is the stripped down songs. Mike talked recently about how they like to make the setlist "an experience" (I guess that means they'll have one set with acts again) and he keeps saying the "fan favorites will be played" meaning they're not going to cut on the HT/M songs.

I think they'll do that closer to the album release date. Chester sounds great here. He really outshined Kiiara.

Looks like a lyric video. I hope it'll be released soonEDIT: Adam confirmed on Twitter this isn't the song: https://twitter.com/heydudeimadam/status/850358678318268417

Health issues. Here's his statement

Feels Like Forever is one of my favorite songs from Restoring Force, cool to see Mike contributed to it. Small correction for the Linkinpedia page: The Montreal set is fake (it includes songs that weren't even released at the time). The song was debuted at Southampton later in 2014.

Wow. I love Stormzy's new album. Super excited to hear the song!
