Yep, those Metallica fans TOTALLY hated LP and didn't think the setlist was heavy enough.

The setlist is not going to change AT ALL for the duration of this tour. You guys might as well get used to it.

The DBS songs we've heard so far are also all over 4 minutes long with the exception of My Suffering.

Flaming totally solves everything. Yes, I have an "attitude" because I speak the truth. I'm also older than probably 80% of the other people on this site. Rapidshare is a shitty service, pretty much all of its competitors are better than it is, I think just about anybody can see that. I fail to see how pointing that out means I have an attitude, if anybody other than me would have made that post neither of you would even give a shit.

This means absolutely nothing. Unless the band comes right out and says "the setlist at Knebworth will be different from what we're playing at other shows on this tour," it's foolish to assume so based on this interview. New song = New Divide Few surprises = DBS, new POA intro, Session

Why do people continue to use Rapidshare? It is hands down the SHITTIEST file hosting service in the world with its limit of 10 downloads per file. Megaupload is better. 4shared is better. Zshare is better. You could pick any free file hosting site at random, and it would be better. I seriously think LPLive should ban all links to Rapidshare, that's how awful it is. But thanks for sharing. Hopefully 10 other people don't download part 2 while I'm waiting for part 1 to finish.

Honestly, it's a pretty heavy set, compared to what they did throughout most of 07-08 anyway. A lot of the songs that they dropped are softer ones (PMA piano, TLTGYA, In Pieces), and the softer songs that they are playing are big hit singles, which are the songs the Metallica fans are more likely to know.

This has to be the shortest amount of time between the announcement of a show and the show itself ever, for a major performance like this ever. I think it's a bit unfair to give people just 12 days of warning, honestly. But hopefully this will be a good show for those who can make it.

Oh christ. Everybody run while you still have a chance.

I never really look at it in terms of individual shows, but periods where he sounds his best. I'd say Projekt Revolution 2002, most of the post-Summer Sanitarium 2003 shows, the June-September 2004 shows, Summer Sonic 2006, and the first 5-6 shows of 2008 were his best overall periods.

Ryan Shuck confirmed like a year and a half ago that the version on the Underworld soundtrack is a remix that they made more techno-y to fit with the style of the movie.

Not the original version.

Alive 2007 is one of the most out-of-tune shows I've ever heard from Chester. He was absolutely terrible at that show, as he was throughout most of the Minutes to Midnight touring cycle with the exception of about the first 5 or 6 shows of 2008. He had shows that were better/worse than normal, but that was the only point during 2007-2008 that I would consider his vocal performances "good," in terms of what I know he's capable of. And I said the BEGINNING of 2003, not 2003 in general. Chester's voice on the first run of European shows before the LPU tour was pretty rough, but it got better after that.

He just finished recording the DBS album, and LP has been in the studio working on a new album for several months...?

Not necessarily. He sounded pretty bad at the beginning of both the Meteora and MTM touring cycles.

I honestly thought Chester sounded pretty bad at Istanbul, but he sounded a lot better at Athens from what I've listened to so far. I wouldn't say he's in "top form" right now, but more often than not, he doesn't sound this good 2 shows into a tour.

Either "Give Me Your Name" was re-written/re-titled, or WMG made a typo. I'm gonna go with the latter.

I think APFMH sounded better last year than it ever did. People are so quick to point to Chester as the deciding factor in what makes a good live performance, but they seem to forget that Linkin Park was pretty sloppy live from an instrumental standpoint up until about 2004.

I bet it wasn't even APFMH. It was probably There They Go and whoever keeps giving you the info didn't know what it was. The fact that they would somehow confuse Hit the Floor with APFMH shows that they really don't have a clue.

That means absolutely nothing in regards to whether or not they'll ever play it live again.

http://www.lplive.net/shows/20080629.php - "Hand Held High" > Hands Held High Also, setlists typically list PMA as "Pushing Me Away (Piano Version)" rather than "Pushing Me Away (Piano)," if you want to change that.

That's funny, LP has never played this setlist before this tour, and the only show on this tour you're seeing is Knebworth, so I'm puzzled as to how this could be the "4th time you've seen them with that setlist."

The AMBO intro to What I've Done is the same intro they've been using for that song for the last year and a half guys, that's what it's always been called.

Good riddance to Don't Stay, lol. That song got stale live about 3 years ago.
