10 years. 10 long years I've been waiting to see LP in Pittsburgh (or at all) since they had to cancel the 2015 show and subsequently the remainder of the Carnivores Tour. Haven't even commented on a post in nearly as long. Didn't realize they played at Burgettstown in the past but so glad they aren't there this time, because it's one of the worst traffic situations of any venue ever. Hoping Mike does something special since this is the same venue they were scheduled to play at in January of 2015 the show after Chester broke his ankle. I'll be in the pit.

Linkin Park Live is now the prime age to start listening to Hybrid Theory and Meteora and make AMVs of Dragon Ball Z fights lmao. Happy anniversary gang

I don't think I've posted here since before Chester passed, but I read the site nearly every day in that time. It still feels surreal and as if he just took a break from the band and has not been seen in the public, but I accept his death and know that the band's future has completely changed. I had a difficult few months following Chester's death, even if they weren't affected by it. But the strange silver lining is that the conversation about Mental Health has become more prevalent than ever. Watching the memorial concert in October really shows how many people he impacted throughout his career, both professionals and fans. Even more, it really showed how Linkin Park's fanbase is one of the most compassionate in the world - caring for the band, Talinda, each other, and strangers across the world who share a love for some music. I'm glad to see that many people have gotten help in light of this tragedy and if anyone else is struggling, know you are loved like Chester is and there is always someone to reach out to for help. Rest in peace, Chester.

I think anything where Mike sings the majority of the lyrics (like full verse and shared chorus with Chester) should he considered.

It's too early to make predictions, of course, but I would expect something more like Joy Division becoming New Order after singer Ian Curtis passed. Becoming a separate entity to honor the fact that his absence meanthe the original band couldn't call itself that.

Haha, I don't even remember reading the caption to that picture but your screenshot shows that I still liked it. Honestly hoping that it's something not from OML, but I'm sure it will be.

I honestly forgot I made this thread, lol. I'll add them some other time.

I'll be brief; Too many cooks in the kitchen on this album made the songwriting suffer. Worst LP album but the songs are not indivisually horrible, just most of them. Talking To Myself should have been the lead single. Heavy sounds even worse in comparison to the other tracks, most of which I don't care enough to listen to agaih. Invisible is good for a formulaic pop song. The title track is the saving grace of the album; it makes me want to cry in the fetal position in an empty room. The band kept making us think that this was the kind of emotion that they put into each song and I wish it had been that wayou since OML is now in the running for their greatest soft song.

How long do these radio promo cycles normally last, if that's even a thing? They won't have much time for a club tour if this continues, but I'm not really counting on a club tour happening at this point.

Feathers are heavier than this.

If anyone happens to accidentally find Pictureboard in the meantime, let me know.

Chester sounded damn good on Heavy. I liked the drums at the end of the bridge, made it seem heavier than it is. The lighting was pretty good, but the performance reminded me again of how freaking short it is. And James Corden got on stage afterward and said they are touring with the Chainsmokers?? The alleged second song didn't get broadcasted, if that is true then hopefully it will be posted online in the morning.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BRB7nQEBqOZ/?taken-by=phoenixlp&hl=en Brad is looking over the strum pattern/tab/whatever for "Invisible". Are they going to debut that on the show tonight too?

One-offs with STP/Kings of Chaos or other bands would be fine for Chester, it would be like taking a business trip and then coming home, especially since some shows are in the LA area anyway. Picking his family and sticking with the one band is completely understandable.

Were Dave, Joe, and Rob joking when they said it was nice to meet Kiiara? They recorded a song with her and half of the band didn't meet her?

Show's started. Just Mike on piano, Chester and Kiiara on vocals, and Brad on guitar and probably sampler. Crawling (Piano version)

Where did you read that the video will take place in a therapy session? This is another new for the band, a "sketch" for their video where they are the actors instead of just a performance video/other actors doing the drama. Not sure where to go from that.

From the Inside and Numb were both filmed while they were in Prague.

Looks like they are doing something similar to what Fort Minor did before Welcome was announced.

But in the end, it doesn't even matter.

Chester said they were in the mixing stage, so that meant recording was done, so does that mean the mixing is done now too?

I was going to say that since it's straightforward rock, someone would just have to play piano on it though.

Well we can eliminate anything that Mike raps on, so thag gets rid of most kf the popular singles. Even ones like UIG that are just Chester have a lot of electronic elements, so... One Step Closer.

No I'm talking about the piano interlude that Mike would play during The Radiance while he sang lyrics from The Catalyst through a vocoder.

Has anyone else noticed that Symphonies of Light Reprise is similar to what Mike would sint and play on the keyboard/vocoder during The Radiance at some ATS shows?
