Another 2 months have come and gone, and I'm surprised this hasn't come out yet. I thought the reason of not streaming any of the Euro festivals was to not take away from this release. I wonder if they are hesitant because well, as the band has played more together they sound better and are playing more songs from the newest album. Hopefully it releases in any form, because the live stream had piss poor audio. It feels like ever since The Hunting Party we get less and less proshots of full shows.

That would be my guess as well. Either way it probably is either her or Mike if they cancel. It's not like they'll have a vocalist replacement at hand. (Which has always surprised me when other bands pull it off)

I can imagine they have their reasons not to disclose who or what it is. I hope everyone is alright, these very vague announcements make me worry a lot.

I feel like there should be 1 more spot rotating songs considering all the songs they have played since the start of the from zero era. On a side note, it seems unlikely friendly Fire will come back. It would have been nice to get a live proshot of it before it was gone.

The setlist overall was pretty good. I'm kinda sad that Good Things Go is already on rotation after being played so few times. 😢I really don't wanna miss it and I can only make it to two shows in the tour. Up from the Botton was definitively gonna be there, but Where'd you go was definitively a surprise. I wonder if Mike will keep sneaking sneaking his solo stuff on the sets or if he'll keep it to the biggest hits outside of LP (so pretty much these two).

I wonder if this is to avoid all these articles creating conflict with Jamie statements or possibly having Chester's mom or some other relative to complaint about them exploiting his image. We have no idea of what possible conflicts there might be with Chester's family, but we know it's not 0 conflicts so far.

I think he's commenting more on the silliness of so many vinyl versions. I could bet that in a couple of days, we will be getting announcements of other exclusive vinyl colors at different stores and whatnot, lol. that on top of the limited covers that are meant to complete a photo (so its literally in their design to incentivize to buy multiple copies of the vinyl). Sure, nobody forces you to buy them all, but still.

Overall, I liked the new song, but there is something about the chorus I'm not completely sold on (like I feel the metrics of the verses are a bit off).

Yup, the messenger was brought 2 whole tones down.

It's nice that we're getting more new songs live as pro shots. I hope we soon get some of the older songs, too. As nice as it is to have the September 5th streaming, some songs have gotten a lot better over time. I know we will eventually get the Brazil show, but it would be cool if they released single videos of the songs that aren't on that setlist (FTI, Overflow, and so on), so there's a good video of every song played on the tour.

I'm surprised we haven't heard a thing about this yet. I thought they would use the theatrical release to hype up the current tour, but at this point I don't think it's happening until at least after the first leg of the north American tour

I meant as in "at some point in the future"

Now I can only hope they do Good Things Go or Over Each Other acoustic, those are tailor-made for the format

Well, it seems that whenever they are playing at big events, they do get paid royalties from the event organizers, so I guess you can't hate making passive income, lol. That being said, obviously, being on tour, it's not for him to comment on tribute bands. Hybrid Theory gets a lot of attention because they are very large-scale for a tribute band (which you would only see for bands that are fully defunct). I think mike thinks this shouldn't be a topic he has to address constantly. What I find weirder is Hybrid Theory not publicly acknowledging that the band is back and continuing with their tribute with business as usual (I'm not saying they would/should stop, but they should acknowledge the band is alive and around).

I'm going to both! Fortunately, I got my PR in Canada so it's easier to figure these things out, but DM me with your current situation, I might be able to figure out where would you stand, as a lot of people I know are in a similar situation as temporary residents.

Ohh I'm going too, seemed like a 2nd easy date to make it from Vancouver 😅

Casualty and this one should have been in the Bonus digital version of the album

I feel as the new members settle into their positions and the constant comparison and backlash regarding Emily vs Chester dies down a bit, they will be more comfortable acknowledging Chester's legacy a bit more. While it might feel off for some, constantly bringing him back would only keep that discussion on the media. And with every clickbaity music website amplifying whatever thing Jamie posts on instagram, I can imagine they are just looking for this to stop being half the band's media coverage.

you certainly did! haha good catch. Considering that 2025 might be using the same stages, I would assume these were "mature" setlists, they included already 5 new songs, and while they may rotate the rest in and out during the tour, considering their back catalogue I don't think they'll play the new album back to back and cut down on classics. It should represent fairly well the setlist we'll see in the From Zero tour. Unless they retool the act structure and the interludes they composed (not quite the same, but like when they jumped from Wake to Wake 2.0?)

If I'd had to guess I think they'll only change the encore rotating spot, maybe they'll do KTTK again? I wouldn't expect major shake-ups until the 2025 tour. But considering what they have played and what they could play, it seems the setlist could use a few more rotating spots, especially if they add more new songs.

I could record from the end of burn it down onwards, but the audio is out of sync, so I would have to edit it in order to fix it. fingers crossed someone else could pull it off as well

Casualty live is so fun, I feel like it would go great with Victimized or QWERTY for a mashup. That aside, loving the Brazilian crowd... omg, I hope to one day attend a show over there, these guys know how to rock.

I hope it releases in blu ray eventually then 🤩

Does anyone know how to rip the show? Is that in anyone's plans? I don't think it would happen, but it'd be a shame for this show to get lost in the shuffle

They've lifted a few restrictions. I keep with WWE now and then and from what I've seen now they can appear and perform with long sleeves and pants, so I don't think she'll have a problem with fitting in. If anything they might have been booked to make a point of that. All these sports and entertainment events have been made with the hopes of improving the international image of Saudi Arabia.
