The show (and band) have evolved so much since then. May be worth it to show it in theaters or do something with it, but film and release Wembley now.

this is it, iconic stadium, iconic band.

Shinoda: "fans snowball things and things blown out of proportion" Hey, he's talking about the lurkers of this forum!!

 

Jokes aside (well, not really), It caught my attention that they said that the OG band always went to the safest route. I mean, now they've took the risks of playing mainly in stadium makes me think that many of the tours we had in arenas were in this kind of venues because the band were unsure if they could sell out bigger places. In other words, if they would have taken risks sooner we could had an stadium tour before in another album cycle 

the old lineup could fill the same stadiums as this one or probably even more. the only problem that LP has is the USA.. they cant fill a stadium without another heavyweight thats why they asked Blink to be their support for the stadium shows.

Great footage as always. I don't know if it's just me, but everyone looks much more relaxed now.

Very simple, they made it!

when they came back we didnt really know what was going to happen, being totally honest i thought that they were going to do just fine, play some medium shows, probably losing their headliner status but they cameback really strong.

they are so big right now because the fan base who goes to their conccerts or buy stuff its mostly YOUNG FANS , just look at that video, the guys who experiencied their first LP concert was massive like 90 to 10.

Ive been listening a lot to this mix again obviously its not the best option but it so cool to listen to stuff that you cant hear in the og mix.

what happened to this? is this still available for streaming? what about other albums? are they available in dolby too?

Nothing newsworthy really, but this was such a fun interview to watch.

There's some bits of uknown info for sure

Linkin Park were the ones who got the idea to do the grammy performance they asked Paul and Jay.

Not sure why i always thought that it was Jay's idea.

Mike is recognized because he carried the Hip-Hop aspect with the utmost respect since day 1. I think people with a strong Hip-Hop background can acknowledge him because he always showed that he knows what Hip-Hop is about. Unlike many other "rappers" in rock bands back then, he "lived" and respected the culture (plus, you know, wrote some killer rap parts and produced a LOT of amazing beats).

 

I doubt many people from the genre would call him one of the best to ever do it, but they most certainly respect him for being "real" in a way. At least that's my feeling.

Because of Mike many rock fans became interested in hip hop music.

hes a freaking legend on his own.

its cool to read some comments from hip hop fans who recognize Mike as a great rapper.

Shinoda slipped on Unshatter. He mentioned it was from One More Li-- From Zero sessions. So it's an OML demo got reworked for FZ sessions?

timeframe please?

If they play Unshatter it would be the first album played fully live plus its b-sides since Meteora

not until they play From Zero (Intro)

There is almost no difference between Mike and Brad. At least for a large amount of songs you cannot identify who came up with the guitar idea. That’s due to the simplicity of LPs guitar style.

Remember a lot of guitar stuff off of THP even came from Mike.
I guess something like POA, LFY, Forgotten, Don’t stay is something that Brad creates. 
 

Faints leads were created by Mike after he figured it out. 

we should exaggerate Brads role when it comes to creating guitar riffs. At least since ATS he was identified more than a guitar player and that’s why it’s good he continues.

  

Know that I think about it Mike is a really great guitar player, very underrated we never talk about how good he is.

Brad's role is much more of a producer role in the band now (and has been for a while, you could argue) than a guitarist - of course he records some guitar but a lot of the guitar on the album is Mike and Colin. They need Brad for that producer aspect - the true "glue" for LP is Mike's songwriting and producing plus Brad's producer role. That's how you get the good stuff.

The Emptiness Machine guitar sounds a lot like Brad's style (Crawling, P5HNG, BID) 

but that one was an early demo, Mike can emulate brad's style for sure.

Not sure why everyone mentioned so many bands to describe LETYF

Just heard it 3 minutes ago

what a fucking beautiful song

what you call bridge it isn't like an actual bridge, its a moment in which the song breathes, the calm before the storm, such a peaceful and beautiful moment. 

this song makes me think about Chester and my daughter.

it doesn't sound like any band it isnt generic I love Mike singing over heavy guitars.

Emily in a support role feels good.

i freaking love this this song 

top 3 for sure of the FZ songs.

got excited about Teddy!  sorry for the mistake.

I wish we had material w him doing backup vocals...

I am not sure if it's Teddy Swims on the left because at 1:29 we can hear Emily's laugh. So... either both Emily and Teddy were working together in the studio at that time or it's not him.

you are right.

-Teddy Swims appears in the video, guy on the left side 1:11 sucks that they cut him out

-Brad on the thumbnail but he appears only for like 20 seconds

-Awesome song.

BRING BACK THE HIP HOP MEDLEY

STEP UP/NOBODY'S/ITS FUCKING GOING DOWN

man the medley kicked ass.

i love RTN but its overplayed.

I think this is the best of the three new songs. Feels a little different than other FZ songs and has that album closer energy. Good way to close out the FZ studio songs era.

I will say that the LYF and LFY acronyms being so similar is already annoying me.

LYF❌

LETYF ✅

LETYF FUCKING ROCKS!

It's a shame they put only 5 live songs on there (and we already have 3 of them), around 70 minutes of music can fit on a CD, right? Unfortunately, everything is subordinated to vinyl, 3 or 4 vinyls instead of 2 would probably be too expensive

its a shame that Overflow, Good Things and My December are only available if you rip the low quality youtube audio.

i need them in full quality...

also it sucks that the video version of COG is not available anywhere, i love that version wish it had a proper audio release.

sadly, guitar solos are not meant for LP songs. THP just wanted to proof that the band CAN DO IT but doesnt mean they have to do it for the their future releases.

Brad loves guitar solo but he choose not to. they all grew up listening to rock, heavy metal, shreading. but yeah, i wish they can improvise it for live shows (eg: What I've Done, Bleed It Out, Faint)

I have faith that they will bring them back for the next album, Brad's solos are so good, Little Things was awesome and SOTD has a beautiful sound.

I have a feeling that Colin is a really good guitar player too.

That's not how LP works lol

says the guy who has a profile picture with the album that almost every song has a guitar solo.

Love it, the bridge is perfect. Now that last chorus needed a guitar solo real bad!

i miss guitar solos man, there are many songs that need them, specially Casualty.

Man the bonus tracks are alright wish that the Deluxe Edition have a rearranged tracklist to make it flow better and not have the feeling that the album was over but hey here's 3 bonus tracks.

I wouldnt add anything from Already Over because it doesnt belong to FZ, other than that great tracklist.

i freaking hate the album intro btw, the Arcance Crown was the best option as an introduction to the album or the Inception intro that they used at the live show + Emptiness fucking rocks.

I havent heard this song yet but the descriptions by you guys are nuts.. tons of different bands, tons of different genres, some think that this is the best FZ song (or one of the best) now someone ways that its the worst!

wtf what a polarizing song!
