What the fuck does this even mean Back to the conversation, really hoping Mike/Lorenzo see this so they can get some ideas. It's been awhile (LPU X) since we've gotten a fantastic release. LPU XIII came close.

This is literally my favorite post ever

Regardless of it potentially being another Messenger, I'd still like to hear it. I at least SOUNDS like it could be an epic song.

Wow, I wonder where you got that joke from.

It's entirely possible FM had another working title, but if this was from April 2014 they seem to be cutting it pretty close there. Interesting to see KTTK was further down in the tracklisting, and rebellion near the end. If ALITS wasn't the closer, I wonder what March Of The Dead sounded like. Wasn't there an interview where a band member mentioned it?

The ones not on that list: Final Masquerade, The Summoning, Drawbar I don't know which one could be which though. March Of The Dead, The Hunt, and Viserion all sound pretty fucking awesome. Maybe March could be FM? I think at least two of three of those are songs we don't have.

Epic post Skips! Hopefully LPU XV has great stuff on it, too. Didn't know there was a Plaster II. OSC sequel?

How did this even start with me EDIT: As I was typing up my synopsis of his on LPA, I had an idea about this. When LP had to drop songs, it was only in Shanghai. Macao had the full setlist. This document is for Beijin. Maybe regulations are by city, not by the entirety of the country?

You guys love tearing apart everything I say, don't you? I get that they understand tone. I'm not calling them incoherent or idiots. I'm saying they'd have the "better safe than sorry" idea behind this. The cursing example I brought up before was just part of the reason I said, I know BIO was still allowed. Regardless, it looks like all of this speculation is in vain. The list is apparently a list of songs that are approved to be played given what the band has sent to them. Translation, via Vorist: The characters listed next to the song names are just the translations of the song titles.

1) It's "everything I say", but I also thought it was "see". 2) Yes, we understand the concept of that. Does China? No.

I'd be fine with a HTF live soundboard, but I feel a) nothing particularly SPECIAL happened with that song... it's just the studio version and it would take up the spot of something we've never heard (even if it IS an instrumental). Like I said, I'm cool with HTF but I'd find it a tad boring (especially since I'm not a big fan of the song)

Probably due to profanity, in the case of GU and HHH. Thematically (rebellion, uprising, etc.) would also probably be a concern to them.

The Requiem = Mashup Intro, same reason The Catalyst is on there. I wonder, with the omission of UIB, do they just want it to be avoided being checked? Lyrically, I can see a possibility of the Chinese government banning it, but it's just a verse Mike's rapping over an intro. But, then again, Wretches, Requiem, Catalyst, all of that stuff is in there. Time will tell.

Glad to see Fort Minor covering new territory (Denmark), even fresh off of of a comeback.

$10 says it gets cancelled

Thank you for your contribution.

At least you're living up to your username here

What is that list? songs they are allowed to play? Or songs they've chosen to get approved? EDIT: Keys To The Kingdom, Somewhere I Belong, and APFMH on that list...

Skin To Folk Animals Poppy-THP Demo (just to see how they sounded) Dingleberry (WTCFM Demo) Quazar TINFOIL (Long-form POWERLESS demo) Sakura Sushi Unreleased 1999 demo w/ vocals Thanksgiving (Until It's Gone Demo)

Wow, I didn't expect so much backlash on this. As you grow older, your interests change. That's not to say they don't want to make music anymore, but they want to expand their horizons. In 10, 20, 30 years, will they still be making music? Maybe not. They can't depend on however much money they have now to support them so far into the future (which, I admit is kinda silly to say, they're filthy rich, probably). The thing is as life goes on, Linkin Park will start fading into the shadows. You have to be open to try things, collaborations is one of them. Being in a band shouldn't have to limit you to making music, and only making music as your career. They're not in their 20s anymore, they'll be in their 40s soon enough. We can't expect them to not want to branch out to something more "mature". Sure, they're collaborating with a watch company and a car company. It's marketing. So what if less than 1% of people in the Linkin Park fanbase will never get that product? It's still being marketed. Don't forget we're not the only market. The fans of THAT company, and hell, people who like those types of products will still be looking at it. All we are is a source of advertising, when And if you're arguing it makes them look like they "just want to make more money," well, no shit. They make music a) because they love to and it's their job. Without money, they can't keep touring. They can't keep making albums. They can't put food on the table. They're filthy rich, but how far can that last if the only rely on Linkin Park? Anyone who wasn't a teenager from 2000-now probably thinks they're shit anyway (as evidenced by quite a few sources), but we can't expect that, as growing individuals and a band, that they're influence has to be entirely focused in one area. With Machine Shop changing its course, Linkin Park isn't changing. They'll be the same band they are as they continue to play shows and record music. Machine Shop is still innovating, much like Linkin Park has done since Minutes To Midnight. The purpose is still to promote connection with music. TL;dr: Priorities are not changing. Linkin Park will keep creating music as they always did. You guys are equating branching out to other projects to lack of quality in their music. It's simply not happening.

I've met Astat, who's name should end this. EDIT: AND, for the record, minuteforce is one of the cooler gentlefolk on LPA. I have had encounters with him every now and then.

I'm the worst at this, apparently.

I respect your opinion, but...

If only that would work
