Yeah, that's kinda how I'm feeling too.
I think it's veeery hard for Brad and maybe Rob too. I mean... just think about the fact that Dave, Joe and Mike interacted with fans after the show and Dave and Mike even went to the afterparty (I didn't see Joe, so I don't know if he was there) but when Brad saw a couple of fans at the back entrance, he left right away and went back inside.
...
They tried every option possible for future live shows and that gives me a little hope. They invited guest singers, they let the fans sing, they played a clip of Chesters voice, Mike sang.... so now they can decide how they want to do it, or maybe they're going to mix it up all the time now
Well... if they decide to continue.Wow didn't known Brad couldn't face the fans. Totally understandable tho, but I think that shows how the whole band isnt ready yet.
And yes, they indeed tried every option during the concert and I do think that if they continue that they will look back on the concert to decide how to move forward.

Mike really has improved over the last years but his live-singing is far from good. His voice is shaking almost all the time and is cracking on many occasions. And that is not caused by his emotions as some people on youtube pointed out. The low-pitched and quiet stuff is very hard to do in between raps, yelling and moving around but he could handle it if Linkin Park decided to do shows that are mainly ballads. A show that is diverse in power and song-wise, he doesn't have what it needs. At least not yet.
I know many people won't like my opinion and I have to say I love Linkin Park and I love Mike but he is not a good singer in the sense of a person who can sing under live circumstances. People like the color of his voice and enjoy his performance therefore and so do I to an extend but that has always been the difference between Mike and Chester. Mike is a beast in songwriting and doing background vocals and in my opinion is great at rapping because he has his own style but Chester was the singer. Chester could sing. Most of the stuff Mike sings can be done by anyone. You don't even need to be a singer to sound as good quality-wise as Mike live from a musical standpoint. The thing that separates everyone from Mike is his unique color of voice but not his great ability to sing. As I said at least not yet
I don't want to bash him because I appreciate everything they have done and are still doing I'm just reasoning why I think they should get someone who can sing to do Chesters parts.
I don't think you are bashing him, but personally I don't agree with you. But that's ok.
Whatever they do, they will never be the same and they will never please everyone. But hey, since when did LP please everyone? As long as we all respect their decision and at the moment I feel like everyone is very understanding. Luckily.

We probably have to give them more time. In the Karreng magazine where Mike talked about Chester and the band, he pointed out that some of the band members couldn't listen to their own songs with Chester on it (So almost every single one) for weeks. This show was harder than we think. I believe that they tried to hide their emotions as much as possible, even though we saw Phoenix, Brad and Mike being very emotional during certain songs. Especially during songs like In The End.
Oh yeah, they totally should take their time. But after some time they have to look forward. And I hope that when they do, that they decide to continue with eachother. Eventhough I got the impression that they maybe won't. But everything in due time ofcourse!
Talking about In the End, it almost looked to me as if Brad was mad during that song. He also dissappeared off stage after the bridge, or did I see that wrong? Maybe you guys saw that differently, but I'd love to hear your take on this.

Mike did great, the whole band did great. Hats off to them.
Before the show I was fairly certain the band would continue in some form, but after the show I do not have that feeling. I feel like the comments Mike made during the show were not that positive. It was as if he wanted to continue, but not all band member were ready... Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the vibe I got. And lets be honest, if this was a last show, it was a hell of good one.
Still I hope they continue. Mike proved worthy in my eyes. And in the end, it should matter.

Really lovely remix

It was a great show. Bit dissapointed that i didn't see APFMH and NCSM, but still so good. The crowd was also really vibing.
Mike wore a new FM shirt once again, it had text on the front and some image on the back.
During Sharp Edges Mike was at the side of the stage with Jim Digby and he was dancing to the song, I kid you not. (I tried to make a video but my shitty IPhone did not get it so good)
And Bleed It Out had balloons dropping from the ceilling.
On the way back home I was listening to a local station and people phoned in about the concert, only positive. Even from people who disliked OML and came to the concert cus Sum 41 opened. Even those people liked the OML songs in live setting. And the radio stated it was sold out.
Hope they come back soon!

The confirmations went out yesterday.
Ah that sucks

Anyone heard anything about the M&G?

Hey guys! I just noticed something very interesting. Papa Roach just announced the title and the tracklist of their new album which comes out on may 19th just like OML and track no.11 is called Ricochet which is also an LP demo song title and is also in the BMI database under the Linkin Park artist name. Besides that Jacoby wrote on twitter that Linkin Park is the band he want the most to tour with... Some US tour hint with Papa Roach as support act for LP? Maybe Ricochet is a PRoach x LP collab? Too many coincidences I think
God, please no.

I have a super hard time understanding the European time zones. The British Summer Time or whatever throws a big twist in it lol
I have that with like all timezones....
That's why I love it when you guys post countdowns!

Oh damn, I thought local time. My bad
-
Shouldnt it have started already?

lpuhq
Thank you all for entering! We have reached out to the winners.

Damn. This sucks.

Im lost in desperation. So I tweeted Mike as well.
Wie niet waagt, wie niet wint!

One of the contests gave away 10x2 tickets
I wonder how much both LPU and that site with the form gave out. Only 54 people entered the LPU contest, if both LPU and the other site also gave away 10x2 tickets than they have invited a very very imited amount of people for the capacity of the venue.
I might just go to the venue, since it is 20 minutes from my work, but something feels a bit odd about these contests
Only 54 entered. Whut. Why not invite everyone? I can't just go cause I live in the north of the Netherlands and it actualy takes time to get to Amsterdam. Damn
-
Yeah, just looked on Twitter again and it seems the people who won have gotten a mail from the marketing team from Warner Music, no news about LPU but I guess since that contest is closed, people also already got to know they have won?
I guess so. Part of me still hopes there is a chance until Lorenzo responds. Even if I could go it would take me about 3 hours to get there... so I would like to know tonight
-
I tweeted Lorenzo about the LPU contest. But still no reaction. Im afraid we are out of luck boys

I didn't mean it as a negative thing. I know those guys are more shy compared to Chester, Mike and Dave. And its ok. I just said that MAYBE it could be an example that shows the band is not a far as expected (at least what I expected).
So I think you are making too big of a deal about this.
