I watched the movie this past weekend and really liked it. I think they did a great job showing the behind the scenes side of the comeback. If it were up to me, I'd cut most of the concert footage and replace it with more making of content or interviews. The one live segment I genuinely loved was the transition from "The Emptiness Machine" at the launch event to the Brazil show.

I get why they leaned so heavily on the concert footage. They were probably trying to appeal to a wider audience and keep things visually engaging instead of having people talking the entire time. But as a fan who's seen the band live last year a few times and watched all the pro-shots from this era, watching live footage on a big screen with loud speakers doesn't really add much for me anymore lol.

Cool, but I kinda wish it was a more cherry-picked soundtrack from across the tour. Surely they nailed a ton of other songs much better on other nights, not to mention songs that they weren't playing yet like the WFTE intro with WYG

I think Emily in particular sounded better and looked better/more comfortable in any show in 2025/2026 as opposed to those few ones in 2024.

did they use the studio version of my december?

Yes! The song ended as the countdown to the show also ended, so it transitioned right into the show Intro. It was pretty cool. 

The show was pretty awesome! It sucks they didn't play Keys but also I know it's a rarity. 

Just arrived in Nashville. Can’t fucking wait! Please please play Keys to the Kingdom 🤞🏼 

I think I like LTF more than Unshatter overall. Mike's parts give me big P.O.D. vibes for some reason (not a bad thing). I like the way Mike's and Emily's vocals complement each other, and that bridge was simple yet effective for me.

Had a fantastic time at the show! Getting to hear 2 (Good Things Go and IGYEIH) of my top 3 FZ songs was awesome. Hoping I get to see Casualty in Nashville in August. Overall pretty happy with the band's sound and production. Emily did a great job and seems confident. I was at the barricade which was sweet, but part of me also would like to see this show further away just to appreciate the lasers, screens, etc. even more. 

Can't wait to finally see the band again after 11 years (saw them during the THP tour in 2014)! During the KROQ interview they said they had 5 new songs rehearsed for this tour. They've played 4, so maybe they'll debut Unshatter or Let You Fade. Not hoping for any crazy surprises at this point, but I really hope they play Good Things Go, Casualty, (both in my top 3 of FZ) and Keys to the Kingdom (also in my top 3 of THP, my favorite album). 

I guess most of the songs on my list are somewhat "unrealistic" but since the question is about songs we'd "like" to see, I would have a A Line in the Sand and QWERTY at the top of the list. Then, I'd put Powerless as another option because it'd be awesome to see it performed live and also because I think Emily would crush it.

Having said that, I'm fully expecting them to add FZ songs to replace some of the "deep cuts" they played this year as opposed to adding more deep cuts.

As a drummer, this was pretty fun to watch. It's also nice to have a visual reference for the songs I haven't covered on my channel yet lol so thanks Drumeo!

Emily pushing Dave was hilarious. Can't wait for some studio footage now that the album is out.

See you all in Nashville - hit me up if you'll be there! Would love to meet up with some others in the pit.

 

If by chance there's anyone traveling to the Nashville show by car, please please please make a note of this: use the parking at the library on Church Street. Best parking in downtown (price-wise) Nashville by a very long shot, while being only two blocks from Bridgestone Arena!

Making the trip from Lexington to Nashville. Hoping to get that barricade spot in the pit! Haha

I'll be in in Nashville and Greenville. GA tickets for both.

Who the hell would pay 300 bucks for a pit ticket for this version of the band lol . Got seats for Boston with LPU Legacy 

As a long time, hardcore fan, I can at least tell you I'm more excited to see this "version" of the band than the band that toured during the last few years with Chester (THP and OML tours). Production is better, the band sounds fantastic, the setlists are amazing, 2 hour shows, there's a guitar player on stage that seems to enjoy what he does, the list goes on ...

So it looks LP will be using both stages in the US. I plan on getting tickets for Nashville and Greenville, and both shows have different stage setups:

I really like that From Zero Liquid Cream Tee, but zero chance I'd drop $35 on a t-shirt lol

I'm kinda surprised where they ended up putting the US dates. I was fully expecting them to do a Winter US tour. Anyway, I'll try to do Greenville in May and definitely Nashville in August.

I have listened to the album several times now and I quite enjoy it. It sure feels short but as a comeback album, I think it does a great job at reminding people what LP is all about , including some experimentation although for the most part it's a pretty "safe" album. My favorite songs are probably Casualty, Good Things Go and IGYEIH. We'll see how it ages but I think it'll rank higher than OML and LT for me. I hope next time around they do get to experiment a little bit more and they go beyond than a collection of 2 or 3 minute songs with the good ole classic song structures.

So glad they'll be playing Nashville!

Overall the show left me with good feelings. I think Emily will eventually find her footing, at least I hope. I do agree she was trying way too hard to hit that "raspiness" that Chester was known for in some of the songs (Catayst, SIB). I think she sounded best when doing clean singing or straight up yelling/screaming. The problem was the in between. 

The hardest part will be getting used to the old songs being perfomred in a different key, but it makes sense why they had to do it that way. 

I dig the song and I'm both shocked and pumped that a new album was kept a secret in this day and age. I pre-ordered the CD Box Set + Zine.

I wish the album was a little longer but if the songs are good, I guess that's irrelevant. 

The melodies are nice, but I guess this song doesn't really have anything "special" that would make it different from other OML songs (it reminded me a bit of Halfway Right) so it makes sense it didn't make the album cut (Lost/Numb situation). As far as the collection release, it seems kinda odd/rushed so I wonder if Mike and the band are really fully on board with this. I mean, Mike has been pretty active on social media in the last few months promoting his stuff but has barely said anything about this upcoming release. Anyway, if it's just a vinyl release, I guess I'll just save money lol don't care for vinyl.

Also, no THP is a disgrace (it's my favorite LP Album). If it had been a "greatest hits" I would have understood it, but if it's a compilation of singles, put at least one song there.

Just based on all the press the LP guys did during HT20 and M20, my gut feeling is that Mike, Dave and Joe are 100% on board on continuing with LP, Brad is cautiously optimistic about it, and Rob may be the one who does not want to continue as LP. Anyway, good for Mike for continuing to do music but I honestly have no interest for any of his solo stuff.
