LPUX was teased in August last year with the "coming soon" website, but the details weren't released until mid-November.

LMAO @ seeing a shanky shank thread get bumped. Ahh, memories...

100% positive that's the live version from LPU6. This has been discussed before.

I believe that was actually related to the reason they had to cancel those U.S. shows later that month - when Chester was sick, he went to the hospital and had to get tested for a few different things. They did a spinal tap on him at that point, so the tape was probably just what they used to cover the hole from the spinal tap. The reason they ended up having to cancel those shows wasn't because he was sick, it was because the hole didn't heal up properly and he started leaking spinal fluid. Hard to make up festival appearances when the festival promoters are the ones that booked LP in Pensacola, not the other way around.

If he did, it was uncredited, but I don't think it's him anyway.

The DMCA notice was on the front page when LPL hosted the What I've Done leak.

FYI, whenever a situation like this happens where someone is under doctor's orders not to perform, it's usually a liability issue that actually keeps them from performing. An unfortunate side effect of being in a major band is that whenever you go on tour, you have a BIG insurance policy taken out in case something happens to you while you're on tour. In Chester's case, something did happen, and once he saw a doctor about it and was told he needed surgery, continuing to perform would probably void his (or more accurately, LP management's) ability to make an injury claim under their insurance policy, or even void the policy altogether, which would mean they'd be losing a TON of money, way more than they would've made back by going on with the performance. So, in a nutshell, if you're going to be angry about this, blame it on LP's insurance company. Chester is probably physically capable of performing (he finished the Asian tour with the injury, after all), but it's really out of his control. *Edit* I'm guessing this will probably result in Chester's appearance at that one benefit show/the rumored DBS show next month being cancelled as well.

If they actually got DMCA'd by Warner for hosting DSPs, there'd be a takedown notice when you visit the website. The generic "account suspended" notice usually means they did something that whoever was hosting the website didn't approve of (which is consistent with their "having issues with the server" explanation), which could mean any number of things. I really doubt this is something that specifically has to do with DSPs. On a side note, I've never understood why this website is called "LP American" when it's a Brazilian website.

Oh boy, here we go again.

Entirely possible that they changed the setlist at the last minute and had varying versions printed up, it's happened in the past (Milton Keynes 2008 comes to mind), although the one on the left looks a little odd to me, at least in terms of font size.

Those shirts routinely fetch those kind of prices in eBay auctions. In terms of LP-related shirts, the only ones that I can think of that are worth more are Grey Daze shirts.

Just chipped in with 10 bucks...I have to pay rent in a couple days so I can't be spending too much, but having been a part of this site for about as long as anybody, I figured it was the least I could do.

Aww, screw it. I get paid this week, and I've been saying I'd get around to re-joining LPU for a while now, might as well do it now to get in on this. BRB, gotta grab my Visa card.

Most DSPs from the beginning of 2011 onwards, as they lack Wisdom, Justice, and Love...

Watching video from the show, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Fallout - totally normal performance of that song. Empty Spaces, however, was stopped and restarted. Right when Brad came in with the megaphone, the sample of the crickets and stuff abruptly cut out, so he just kept going with the megaphone for a few seconds, then they restarted the rest of the track.

Yeah, looks like it. Huh. I figured there was no way one of their techs would be familiar enough with the songs to be able to play a full show.

1. I doubt Empty Spaces was actually dropped. Whoever reported the setlist probably just got confused by Brad's megaphone blaring over it. 2. I can almost guarantee that Phoenix's bass parts were punched in from multitrack files of another performance. This is something that the band didn't have the ability to do (or at least something they hadn't thought of) on the Minutes to Midnight touring cycle, which is why Kurt played Chester's guitar part on Shadow of the Day at that one Australian show. Up until this point, they've only had to use the punch-ins during rehearsals, but I figured they'd probably do something like this if a member other than Mike/Chester/possibly Joe had to miss a show. 3. Blackout being dropped probably has something to do with Phoenix using the Z-Tar on that song, and Fallout probably just had technical issues with Mike's vocoder like it has several times in the past.

My Reason is by the band Spiritfall, it was the first track on an EP (which was also titled "My Reason") released in 2000. This was the full EP tracklisting: 01. My Reason 02. Slip 03. Going Nowhere 04. From Now On... 05. Lost 06. Missing Passion

This was the fake Minutes to Midnight tracklisting with all the Tribal Ink songs: 1. Stand! 2. Bleed It Out 3. Get Through 4. What I've Done 5. In This World 6. The Little Things Give You Away 7. Hold Nothing Back 8. Over The Top 9. Promise 10. Real Life 11. Afraid This Time 12. 2 Worlds 13. Until The End 14. Collapsing The Unit 15. We Use the Pain 16. One Perfect Something Bonus Tracks 1. No Way 2. Feel (Demo '01) 3. Screaming at Space 4. QWERTY (Live Summer Sonic '06) This version started showing up on the Internet in mid-March of '07. Despite using a few legit track titles (ones that had been mentioned in interviews up to that point), NONE of them were legit, save for the live version of QWERTY, which was taken from the LPU6 CD. When the actual album leaked on May 4th, a lot of music databases had already been edited by misinformed people to use the fake tracklisting, so when you put the album in your computer, for the first few days the song titles on Windows Media Player would come up as the first 12 tracks from the fake album leak. This caused a bit of confusion for some people.

Sad, but probably true. More like "a small contingent of hardcore LP fans on the Internet have been waiting for the band to play this song." The video doesn't lie - hardly anybody at the show gave a crap. Same type of reaction that QWERTY got in '07. People wonder why LP doesn't play stuff like this live? Compare the reaction when Mike starts singing NRL to the reaction when he starts APFMH. There's your answer.

Mike Shinoda + instrumental music = guaranteed awesome. The track in the trailer sounds great, hopefully he'll do like he did with the VMA score tracks and upload them online somewhere after the movie has been out for a while.

The band didn't perform The Messenger, Chester just sang over a pre-recorded instrumental. The song was also performed in Los Angeles, so it's already made a "comeback."

The Catalyst was completely remixed as well...? They only used a small bit of the DIOYY? remix in it, the rest of it was new. Fallout was also extended with the Mario Savio speech added to the ending. Pre-show: Issho Ni Fallout (extended w/Mario Savio speech at end) The Catalyst (remix, including parts of the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix) Blackout (remixed ending) Waiting For the End Iridescent (shortened ending, last chorus was cut out) The Messenger (Chester live vocals over pre-recorded instrumental) Post-show: Waiting For the End (Glitch Mob Remix)

The webcast of this was announced the same day that the event was originally announced. And shit, this is going to be on at 5:30 AM here. Stay up late, or get up early? Either one sucks. *Edit* Nevermind, once you sign up, you can use the "Time Shift" button to watch it later. That's pretty sweet.

They didn't add the Las Vegas/Los Angeles shows to the website until about a week before the performances, it's happened a couple times before too so it's really nothing to worry about at this point.
