Haha thanks I'm relatively sure Aoki can do utilize a keyboard/synthesizer, mixing boards and a sampler, all of which can be provided by Guitar Center.

Steve Aoki is an ambassador or somethingfor Guitar Center lol. At my relatively-local GC they sell literally everything: guitars, basses, keyboards, sampling machines, drums, etc. You name it. I really wanna work there when I become legally capable of getting a job Their motto is "We sell the best feeling on Earth." Best place to just vibe out.

After a short break from their Brazilian run on Circuito Banco do Brasil, the band is back onstage! The band will be performing a very special set for Guitar Center's 50th Anniversary, as part of the Guitar Center Sessions. The show will be taking place at The Wiltern, a venue the band hasn't performed at since 2003, where they played back-to-back nights for the release part of Meteora! At the two shows back in 2003, the band performed identical setlists with the then-new songs like 'Easier To Run' and 'From The Inside', as well as some of the Hybrid Theory jams including 'A Place For My Head' and 'Papercut'. This'll be the first time that Linkin Park has performed at a Guitar Center event, however. Earlier this year, however, the band was inducted into Guitar Center's Rock Walk, a very esteemed honor! Many artists have performed a session for Guitar Center, including CHVRCHES, Cage The Elephant, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains. At the previous show in Brasília, the band performed a regular run through of Set A, featuring 'Points Of Authority' and 'Crawling', as opposed to its counterpart. A small twist was added - new elements to the Experience Version of 'Castle Of Glass'. The speech interludes from A Thousand Suns, namely 'Wisdom, Justice, and Love' and 'The Radiance' were implemented into the song! The Martin Luther King, Jr. speech was sampled during the bridge and the J. Robert Oppenheimer speech was played over the piano transition into the Ballad Medley. Though small changes, they made for an epic new experience! heh, see what I did there? Check out the new elements added to 'Castle Of Glass' in the video, as well of the Ballad Medley immediately after. The WJL Bridge can be heard around 2:15 in the video, and the Radiance Outro begins at 3:20. What do you think about the new additions to the song? Setlist-wise, we're not too sure what to expect from this show. It's very probable that the band will perform a select few songs, probably some of the singles from The Hunting Party as well as their more popular singles from the past. Hell, even a debut or two from THP wouldn't be a ludicrous thought! If you asked me, I'd say 'Guilty All The Same', 'Rebellion', 'Final Masquerade', 'What I've Done', 'One Step Closer', and 'Numb' are all likely to be played. Most artists tend to play around 10 songs at the event, so be prepared for the likelihood of a shortened setlist! Who's heading to the show? There is limited access, though we'll be sure to get all the details for you! The show will be recorded, and will be aired via DirecTV on December 12, 2014. After this show, the band will head to Las Vegas to perform at the 'Stars Of The Season' Gaia, an event that Chester is very familiar with. Brad can be expected to return to this show, as it was learned that his absence in Brazil was due to an ear infection. A bunch of rumors have recently popped up about the band's touring schedule: a potential Winter Arena Tour in the United States in January/February, Australia and Asia in the summer, and Rock in Rio Brazil + a date in Sao Paulo in September.

WHAT THE FUCK. Iridescent. I hate all of you.

and when was the last time LP played the O2? 2010. This was entirely you're fault lol, I used them as an example and you decided to go ahead with your pathetic "bullshit filter" and completely shift the topic. Moving on: Brasilia. yeah.

"tiny band" - OSCAR AWARD WINNING frontman, sold out the O2 Arena in 2010, tours more in one year than LP has in 5, continues to sell out arenas worldwide "can't be compared with LO" - sonically, A Beautiful Lie and Minutes To Midnight are quite similar, some of the songs on their self-titled would probably fit with THP, Jared, Mike, and Joe are all passionate about art and film... I can go on and on with this. The only person you're kidding is yourself.

You clearly didn't take a second to read the fucking paragraph. Stop being a child and grow up, honestly. I might install the "bullshit filter" so I don't have to read your crap anymore. I'm adding something to the conversation, not fangirling over a band there. Seriously.

I'll totally do MSG, should they be playing a show there. Susquehanna Bank Center is also an option (it can function as an arena in the winter months).

Iridescent.

I think WE'RE putting to much emphasis on playing stuff from HT, not the band. Notice I didn't mention stuff like WTCFM/WAK/Blackout, because those are songs the band KNOWS the crowd/fans love and jam to. The issue is they've seen countless times how people jam to By Myself, No More Sorrow, A Place For My Head, etc. but refuse to play them just because some of the band members don't want to? wtf is that? I understand that the band doesn't want to be disinterested in playing their show, but playing shit like LITE/ND/Crawling/UIG shortened is just garbage - the crowd has no idea wtf to do or expect. LITE is such a pointless addition to the set at this point I forgot they played it until I looked at a setlist. There are MUCH better ways of making a quality setlist, and it's not be shoving 30 songs into a 1:45 set by shortening it, therefore killing the experience with lack of crowd interaction. It's also becoming increasingly apparent that Chester is becoming unable to sing songs like New Divide and Numb, and the argument that they can't drop them is invalid. Have you forgotten that they dropped the song that won them their first fucking Grammy in 2012 (and now it's such a pointless addition in the set, like LITE)? It's clear that they can make whatever decision they want - as long as the set jams and the crowd can enjoy the show, I don't see an issue with dropping the singles. Did the entire show fall apart when they played APFMH instead of ITE in Melbourne 2013?

So your sacrificing the actually experience of the show just because of Chester? He can clearly handle 28 songs at least two nights in a row, all 12 of these included. Absolutely no reason to shorten it to 12 songs. I would NOT go to that show.

I agree with the fact that the band shouldn't have to necessary add anything to their set from the old albums, but this argument could go for With You, Runaway, and Points Of Authority. All non-singles that the crowds still LOVE. There's literally no reason for the band to perform those, save for fulfilling the part of the show that are legitimate fans, not just the casual fans. the chief concern is the lack of fucking effort in actually providing a unique set each night. I mean sure, there's not many people who are going to go to more than 2 shows tops in the United States, but in Europe I know a lot of German fans here are going to 3+ shows. Do they really think they can get away with playing all the shortened jams (i.e. Papercut, LITE) and rotating 4-5 songs each night? At least play more shit from your new fucking album, if you dropped the old stuff in favor of those there would be no problem. This issue with Brad is that he obviously only likes playing the stuff he doesn't have to do much in - which is an example of laziness on his part. Fine, he's not the best guitarist, fine he hates the past songs. But I think at least TRYING to have some fun every night or showing some signs of energy when he's actually doing something and not just dancing to the EDM music behind him is kinda part of his job. Also, what exactly is the point of bringing back stuff like NMS and Valentine's Day is you don't give a shit about Forgotten and By Myself? They're pretty much the same standard of "rarity" nowadays, if not more at this point. The fact is, if they don't bring back the old shit, they won't bring back the rare shit. Simple. I'm bringing it up because it's necessary (Fuck you in advance, JZE.), but even Thirty Seconds To Mars plays fucking old stuff at their shows/soundchecks. Yesterday's show in Sao Paulo was probably their best setlist in fucking years. They added the older songs from A Beautiful Lie back in because they could visibly SEE AND HEAR that the fans wanted it. We make it pretty open that we want some rarer shit in the set, shouldn't it cater to what the CROWD wants to hear instead of what THEY want to hear? I feel A Place For My Head would have an equal reaction to With You or No More Sorrow, if not greater. Also, listen to fucking Hannover 2008 if you think the Linkin Park fans make up 5% of the crowd. Who are you kidding? At least 45% of the crowd will be a fan who knows more than just the singles. I was next to guy who was wearing a Xero shirt in Holmdel, for fuck's sake. What, is the other 55% there to hear fucking Burn It Down and New Divide? I'm a bit pissed today, if you haven't noticed. Don't just speak out of what things seem like, think. Brad is lazy and likes to do what he wants to do. That's my opinion on him. He's not the best but he's not the worst at the same time. If he just ENJOYED what he did he would be an excellent guitarist, regardless of talent.

COG now features the Wisdom, Justice, and Love MLK speech during the bridge and the Oppenheimer Radiance speech over the outro.

Setlist is up. Regular Set A, with the exception of the Oppenheimer speech from 'The Radiance' over COG.

Since when do those four songs qualify as the entire show? Mike's Solo went nicely, he just skipped the Maschine stuff because he knew it wouldn't go well. So that's 3/28 of the entire show.

In my defense the video had regular audio last night

That was the greatest reaction possible. +1 sir.

The rest of this thread should be... interesting...

The second show of the band's short excursion in Brazil is happening in Brasília! The band will be performing as part of Circuito Banco do Brasil, at the Estacionamento do Estádio Mané Garrincha in Brasília. This will be the band's first time performing in the city. The band performed the first of two dates in Brazil yesterday in Belo Horizonte, and it was... interesting, to say the least. Technical difficulties plagued the band onstage, and Brad was not present at any point in the show (which will likely remain to be true for this show). 'Castle Of Glass' was dropped completely due to Mike having keyboard issues and 'Final Masquerade' and 'Burn It Down' were butchered due to the same issues. Benjamin Chandler, Brad's guitar tech, while making a few mistakes here and there, proved to be a worthy replacement for Brad onstage. 'The Catalyst' refrain was also supposed to be sang over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out', but that was dropped, too. Otherwise, the band performed the regular version of Set B, without having any changes from the Carnivores Tour. Since the issue has arisen, let's take a moment to discuss it: band members missing shows. This isn't the first time it's happened: Phoenix missed a show in 2011 on their Asian Tour, in Bangkok, Thailand due to food poisoning. He was replaced by his tech, Ted. Brad has a history of missing shows: in 2008, the band cancelled two shows in Sweden and Switzerland due to him being ill, he skipped the two promotional shows in 2012 in Japan (Tokyo, Chiba) due to another illness, where he was replaced by his tech, Jeremy, and just skipping the extensive rehearsal in 2011 in Sunrise, Florida. Additionally, while he didn't miss the show, Mike's guitar tech, Kurt, played the 'Shadow Of The Day' solo for him when he broke his hand on the 2007 Australian Tour. A speculation has come up about Brad - has he been skipping the short international tours for a reason? In 2012, the band played two shows in Los Angeles only a few days after the shows in Asia, where he appeared perfectly fine. Coincidentally, the band will be playing two shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas respectively once they return from Brazil. Is Brad skipping the short international tours because it'd be more convenient to stay at home? While we don't know the true reason that Brad didn't attend to show, we can sure take a few guesses. Check out this performance of 'With You' and 'One Step Closer' live from Belo Horizonte! Despite a few mistakes here and there, Brad's tech did a pretty good job! If you watched the stream, how did you think Ben did? The other bands on the bill also did a pretty great job of rocking the stage! Nação Zumbi and Titãs brought the Brazilian vibe to the stage, rocking out and getting the crowd pumped! Panic! At The Disco played a jamming setlist as well, performing hits like 'The Ballad Of Mona Lisa' and 'Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off', as well as some older tracks like 'Time To Dance' and 'The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage'. The band performed new songs from their recent release, Too Weird To Live, To Rare To Die!, such as 'This Is Gospel' and 'Miss Jackson'. The band ended their set with a bang, with their old jam, 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies'. They will surely continue to huge energy they displayed at tomorrow's last show of Circuito Banco do Brasil! The festival doesn't end there: At the beginning of November, the second leg of the festival will visit cities including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with Kings Of Leon, Paramore, MGMT, Skank, and Pitty. Who's heading to the show? Our friends over at LinkinPark:BR will be there! They've recently scored an interview with Grey Daze members/associates, and want YOU to submit your questions! Post your question here and see if it gets answered! The band will likely perform Set A at this show, since Set B was performed at the previous show in Belo Horizonte. After this show, the band will return to the U.S. to perform at Guitar Center's 50th Anniversary in Los Angeles, California and at the 'Stars Of The Season' Gaia in Las Vegas, Nevada. The band recently released a new song, entitled 'WHITE NOISE' from the soundtrack of Joe's movie, MALL, and it's available for download for free!
