Yeah, same interview where Chester said that he got "tingles" when he heard the opening riff for GATS and made him want to write rock songs forever. Just pure bullshit. Thats the worst part of all of this, going back to those interviews and then realizing that they are making the exact same music they wanted to avoid just two years ago. Like WTF?

Am I the only one that cringes after hearing the "To let my mind stay so fucking messy" line? Like for real? 6 band members, 3 songwriters and Kiiara, so a total of 10 freaking people and everyone agreed that that was a good line? C'mon now.

Not really sure where to start. Do I like the song? Hell no. Is it the worst song LP has done? No, A Light that Never Comes still wins. I wasn't really expecting much based on the interviews/teasers so luckily I didn't get disappointed. I admit that I like the "heavier" side of LP, however I appreciate a good song even it's a mellow one. In fact, Breaking the Habit is still one of my favorite songs even if it's borderline pop. Heavy, though, sounds like a uninspired and desperate attempt to be on the radio again. The chorus melody is decent but that first verse is atrocious. I can't believe they spent all of 2014 talking "trash" about the generic-over saturated market of indie/alternative rock bands which led them to do THP. Well, not a lot has changed yet they decide to put out a song (and possibly an album) that fits that description. Anyway, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait until the album is released, however, my expectations are as low as they can be considering Mike said Heavy is a good representation of the record. I'm hoping to at least hear a few good songs so that it ends up being kinda like how I experienced Living Things (I hated Burn it Down but at least half of LT was decent)

Yeah pretty much, except 18 years ago they were in their 20s and they didn't have ¨professional¨songwriters help them, so at least it made sense.

This. I find it hard to believe that they needed help from a songwriter to write something like this.

Can´t lie, I'm not digging that album cover, nor the "Heavy" previews, nor the "vibe" of this album... I guess we´ll see what happens when the single is released.

At this point he's probably still in the band because they're all buddies and they need a music video director. He contributes little to nothing musically.

Out of the few words that start with -On- that are 8 letters in length, the only word that sounds like an album or song title is "Oncoming" and it doesn't convince me. The other options are probably something like "On the xxx", or "Onto xxxx". My bet is "Only xxxx" or "over xxxx"

Im going to repeat what I said on the other thread...I love LP and they're still my favorite band, but I wish they would stop the bullshit of teasing everything they do. Why can't they just drop a freaking song when it's ready? Why can't they just release album info? There's no need for such a big band to pretty much announce that they will make an announcement. Papa Roach released a single without even having an album title/release date, Stone Sour already released an album title and they're not even done recording, and so many other examples out there.

Don't get me wrong, I love LP and they're still my favorite band, but I wish they would stop the bullshit of teasing everything they freaking do. If you have a song to share, just freaking post it. If you know the album release date/title, share it. I hate that they basically announce that they will make an announcement. They're a big act, no need to create hype for everything. /rant

I would love to see LP take either Stone Sour or Papa Roach on tour. Both bands are releasing new albums this year and have previously toured with LP.

I wouldn't hold my breath. This quote is from an article posted two days ago, which features an interview with Mike: He continues, “for example, we know that over two-thirds of our fans live outside the US, they range from 13-35, they're roughly 50/50% male/female, most of them are gamers, and 80% of them were pleased with our set list on the last tour. Here´s the full article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonobacon/2015/06/11/from-piracy-to-prosperity-inside-the-new-artists-toolbox/#79930b2609c0 So clearly, they will continue to please the "casual" fans that go to their concerts to listen to In the End, Numb or What I´ve Done.

Not the best LPU ever, but I really dig Dark Crystal. I wish they could have added some creepy rap/vocals and made it into a full song.

Great job! I hope to see Chester doing shows like this more often.

Hey guys I come from the future, year 2025, and people still ask band members about their favorite song to play, their hobbies and when they are going to Brazil or India...

In old interviews they've mentioned that in 2010 they were working on music for a project that ended up falling apart and I always wondered what it was... well, now we know that it was a video game.

That's not good. That's my favorite thing about the LPU. I hope they can work on something.

The first of the six demos that are going to be released is called TooLeGit (2010 demo) and it will be released on December 15th. LPU members can preview it right now (check your emails).

Pretty cool interview. Hopefully LPL can get something like this at some point. I remember LPL ''winning'' an interview with Mike in an LPU contest a couple of years ago but I don't remember it ever happening, but oh well. I'm glad Mike addressed different topics that ''hardcore'' fans usually talk about. I can't believe he said THP is a thrash metal album though ...

I'm glad that they dropped the prices and that they got rid of the VyRT thing.The t-shirt design is a bit disappointing though and I'm not so sure about the way they split the demos but as long as they keep releasing demos in a physical form I'll be happy. I'll renew in a few months.

The Hundreds v LP jacket is out. In case you want to spend 120 bucks + shipping on a jacket, here's your link http://store.linkinpark.com/the-hundreds-v-lp-jacket.html

I don't particularly care since I don't like STP but I can't say I'm surprised. While I'm glad Chester had the chance to be part of a band that he loved growing up, from the very beginning it seemed like it was going to be a tough job to sing in two big bands. Basically, the only way to make it work is by doing what, for example, Corey Taylor does. When Slipknot is recording/touring, Stone Sour is completely on hold and vice versa.vIt just didn't seem like LP was going to stop at any point considering they've been in such a non-stop creative mood since 2010. After all, like Weiland put it with different words, LP is what allows Chester to pay the bills. Now let's hope he will put all that creative energy into LP7.

Crossing my fingers so that this is not LP7 related but instead just another stand alone crappy EDM track like the Aoki ones, a remix or a FM collaboration.

Sorry LP, but no matter how good the designs are, I'll never pay $115 for a t-shirt. That's ridiculous.

I have to agree with Astat. While the song is not bad overall and it's catchy, I don't like the fact that he's trying to sound/rap like someone else instead of himself. He has a very distinctive way of rapping that we all like and all of the sudden he tries to sound gangsta. I don't mind if he releases more stuff as long as that doesn't delay a new LP album.
