    Mick Thomson quote about LP

    in Everything Linkin Park

    Posted

    "I have to have my Beatles and Stones," he says. "That's the only way you can stay on tour when you're playing with Linkin Park. Please print that. If they want to fight, my bus is the white one with the stupid gay stuff on the side of it."

     

    Did LP want to get in a fight with Mick during Ozzfest 2001??? Please elaborate if you can....personally, I think Mick would kick their asses just because he's fucking huge (regardless if LP is my alltime favorite band). This also isn't thread to discuss "who would win in a fight? Slipknot. vs .LP", it's just a discussion of something relating to LP and Ozzfest 2001 and Slipknot (because LP isn't really connected to Slipknot, with the exception of Frat Party).

    2009 Setlist Predictions

    in Live Talk

    Posted

    I can see them opening shows with New Divide, the intro has the kind of buildup in it that goes along with the beginning of a show. If not, it could be the first song after the encore break.

    that could work....or it can lead off of Numb or LOATR. It could be a first song before the slow section.

    At that show too....here's my review:

     

    Ah...Summer of 2008

    My parents said I could go to only one concert that year (which was Virgin Fest...see my other review). However, the day after I got back from my camp, my mom bought me a ticket to Alpine Valley because I was going to Chicago to visit my grandparents. I was totally stoked! Surely enough, I flew from my homestate of Maryland to Chicago to get prepped for my 4th LP show. I spent some time with my grandparents the day before I had to leave. When the day came, it was around noon when me and my mom made the two-hour drive to Alpine Valley. It was my first time in Wisconsin and there were a lot of farms. Finding Alpine Valley was very easy as soon as we entered Wisconsin.

    When we entered the gates, I saw a building on top of a hill, so I thought that was the venue. My mom had been skiing there and she told me it wasn't the venue. As I stepped out of my rental car, I immediately inhaled the esscences of barbequed food. There was a lot of tailgating! After the two-hour drive, my mom immediately made her way to the portapotties. However, trouble stuck when a "horsefly" buzzed around my head. I swatted at it only for the insect to retaliate with a sharp stinging. FUCK! It turns out the "horsefly" was a fucking wasp! The sting was itchier than it was painful. I was not going to leave for a fucking beesting! As soon as we entered the venue, I went to the medical tent to recieve some ointment. They said if I was allergic, I would have to be under medical supervision for 6 hours. FUCK NO! I WANNA ROCK!

    Hawethorne Heights was finishing up their set. They are fucking lucky LP put them on the bill. It's kinda funny how this is their first tour since Casey's death and Casey died in my hometown. Casey also died on my brother's birthday... :lol:

    I was totally pumped for 10 Years. During the wait, the Rev Stage screen (wtf?) displayed an MFR vid where Phi, Joe and Claudio Sanchez were building houses and talking about how MFR is the shit. Who can argue? 5 minutes later, Given Up was being played over the PA System. The whole crowd was singing along. Unfortunately, Given Up was cut short for a Verizon Ad <_<

    10 Years opened with Russian Roulette. One of my favorites! I don't remember a lot from their set, but I got some nice pix of Jesse crushing a Monster Can :lol: Most of the set was spent headbanging and singing along all the words with Tater (he did the same thing when I saw them with Mudvayne). The highlights were probably Russian Roulette, 11:00 AM, Prey, Waking Up, So Long Goodbye and Wasteland. Of course everyone was singing along to Wasteland (big radio single <_<). Great ending! To make things better, my sting was virtually gone!

    10 minutes later, the "A-Team" theme song was playing on the PA. What an intro for Atreyu! They kicked into Doomsday and everyone was rockin hard! They also played Right Side of the Bed and Exs and Ohs well! I wasnt as into Atreyu then but that kickass performance blew my mind! They closed with my favorite song by them, Lipgloss and Black! In the middle of the song, Alex made everyone get on one knee and jump on his command. Sort of like Slipknot, except Corey is much better at getting everyone to do what he says. At the end of their phenomenal set, my mom was holding a spot for me in line to meet Atreyu. Sweet! The security were kind of assholes for not letting me get a pic with Brandon. I got a poster signed for me and another signed for my brother back home. They were kinda nice (not as nice as LP). After that, I went to the merch booth and bought a 10 years shirt, a PR shirt and a PR poster. The poster was a little nasty because it had a lady licking an AK-47 like it was a big, hard....[lollipop].

    I missed SDC but I knew they would be with LP. After I got my seats, Ashes Divide took the stage. They were met with little applause, same with the Bravery. Chris Cornell was great because his acoustic version of Like a Stone was perfect. Spoonman and Outshined were great too. I loved the big ass drumsolo during Spoonman. His closer of Rusty Cage was great.

    When LP was setting up, we noticed all the percussion stuff ready for SDC. I guess this is the closest thing LP could get to a "backup band". No More Sorrow opened the main set, after SDC did their thing. Great opener, but LP's budjet was obviously cut short (hence the boring/nonvideo backdrop). The show went by pretty fast, considering there was little dialogue until between Crawling and LOATR. Thats when Chester promised the new album. The collaboration with Chris Cornell was impressive. Hearing PMA and CFTI live for the first time was quite a treat. Now for the real treat!

    As the rest of the band and SDC was prepping for the finale, Rob was doing his ever so amazing solo. He made a small drumset sound like a bigass Alex Van Halen set! The best part though is when Chester and Mike came out in wigs! Chester asks if he can get a "hellyeah!" and we responded with a "hellyeah". He says we're gonna play some Guns N' Roses. So they played it they did. A bit fast but Chester made it sound good. Of course, it went into BIO, then the SDC solo and Chester and Mike were just laughing their asses off while talking about "rocknroll". It was the longest I've ever seen BIO, at over 12 minutes! I walked out that venue seeing LP for the 4th time in my life. My beesting was all better and I realized that LP has always had something new up their sleeve for every show. I have never left an LP show disappointed, and when they come back around, I'm gonna be down and front!

    Do Linkin Park really care about their fans?

    How I already wrote, metallica does even a lot of more for their fans and this since 1993.BUT I guess metallica shouldn't be an example because they're like fan'aholics, there are always any fans in backstage (through invitation), They played 3 private birthday shows (for metclubs members, through winning a contest) and they try to communicate with the community as the time and the family allows it.

    Thats even not officially, they are doing it because they WANT to stay with their fans.(Metallica is on warner too)

     

    I'm not trying to make LP bad, I love this band and I will be a fan till they stop making music, Im trying to understand why they're doesn't make anything special for their fans anymore. I mean without us they're nothing (and for some fans the other way around)

    Metallica is at the point where they are so powerful that Warner fears their dismissal...but compared to Metallica, LP is fresh, therefore WB has made them their bitch :(

    LP News from Suru!

    in Newswire

    Posted

    I went to Suru today on my visit to California, in an attempt to see Mr.Hahn. He was cooped up at the studio, as usual. The clerk says LP uses a different studio each week and most of it is done at MS Home Studio and she told me NRG is an inpenatrable fortress that I couldn't visit unless I had an appointment. Oh, she also said the album is gonna drop in 2010 and they are working really hard on it. The male clerk also filled me in that the new album is going to sound like the old stuff.

    I wouldn't bring this news to your attention if these clerks did not know LP personally. Because it's coming straight from people who see LP and Hahn every week, this is definitly credible.

     

    P.S.

    I also got some kickass pix at Suru!

    Favorite Performance Of Crawling

    in Live Talk

    Posted

    Personally, my favorite was 2/19/08 at 1st Mariner Arena, when the Krwling intro was going, I was mezmerized by the rotating screens and vids of blossoming flowers...

    my other favorite was Bamboozle 07 when Chester tried to bring Tyler on stage but he was alseep :lol:

    LP Cover Songs

    Posted

    They also covered O' Little Town of Bethlehem and G-d Rest Ye Merry Gentleman on KRQQ's Almost Acoustic X'Mas 07. However since the audio quality is so bad you can barely hear it.

    why did you edit out the "o" in God? Anyways...I think LP should cover U2's With or Without You and fade it into SOTD.

    New LPU Updates

    in Newswire

    Posted

    It's at best buy right now? I might have to go check today. I hope it is. I actually don't mind the track listing, I thought it was going to be a lot worse. Can't wait to hear Hunger Strike. I bet the My December is from the soho show.

    why would they re-release My December from Soho? If you can get it without being an LPU member, then why put in of SFTU? I'm a little bummed that they didnt put Step Up on the CD....or Place For My Head from LPU 3.0. Oh well, I'm gonna get it (even though I got Part of Me and And One off Limewire). The only downside is this defeats the purpose of being an LPUer and getting these songs exclusively from LPU.

    Songs that LP must delete of their setlists

    I fully agree with you... I don't understand how people can doesn't love Rob's drums solo... It's AWESOME. Don't Stay is cool song, but Linkin Park fucked it, it doesn't sounds good anymore, best performances of it was on Meteora tour.

    perhaps because it was the opener....oh well, at least joe gets his moment (when CTFI isnt played)

    Album Update

    Plus someone brainwashed mike into thinking he's a singer, not a rapper.

    Well, it sure as hell wasn't Rick. For someone who produced for Run DMC, Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, I doubt he'd talk Mike out of rapping.
