    Your personal *Top 3*

    in Everything Linkin Park

    Posted · Edited by LPPhan2005

    The fairest way of doing this is really just by one per album (until ATS comes out, so hopefully there will be a Top 4 by then).

     

    These are all tied for my 3 favorite LP songs.

     

    HT: A Place For My Head

     

    - The classically "penultimate" moment of most LP shows. Without a doubt the most missed song when it is absent at LP shows. Its most traditionally followed by OSC, for that is the song that has always had the best reaction at every LP show. Up until MTM, Brad's guitar intro and playing hadn't sounded as complex. Mike and Chester's harmonies are probably Hybrid Theory's strongest on this one. The lyrics narrate a scene of becoming sane and doing away with an ever-present negative presence. Joe scratches like a lunatic and Rob's not 4/4 timing is very hard to replicate on the drums (believe me, I've probably successfully covered APFMH once). Dave is...Dave.

     

    Meteora: Lying From You

    - Aggressive, with a laid-back hip hop feel to it. As of 2008, LP has gotten inventive with the reinvention of the intro, which was originally very simple. Again, an angry duet between Chester and Mike that creates a very emotional lyrical setting. Rob's playing is tight, yet again, to make LP ever-so difficult to play on drums. I wish the same could be said about the guitar in the song, but I'm no guitarist so I can't criticize the illusion of guitar simplicity that is given off throughout the song. Joe, again, scratches and samples in a very remarkable way. Dave is still...Dave. (This has also been my favorite song of all-time since 5th grade).

     

    MTM: The Little Things Give You Away

    - Their most complex/creative/ambitious song ever created. Like all the other LP fans, I at first had a hard time coming around to accept the new direction LP had taken. However, first hearing this song and watching the "Making of MTM DVD" opened my mind to the beautiful new sound of LP. For those who are butthurt about it, the best course of action is to be a real Linkin Park fan and stop acting like a goddamn vagina. ANYWAYS, Chester's soaring vocals and caressing melodies are one of many things that make this such a masterpiece. Lyrically, it paints a vivid image of water rushing into a house and drowning the inhabitants of this house. However, I don't quite come to terms with the political criticism in this song (and others on MTM) due to the fact that the lyrics openly called the previous administration a bunch lazy, lying traitors. I won't get into politics, but I wish that people wouldn't openly criticize the Right-Wing without taking into consideration the new policies that the current administration plans on implementing, which won't benefit the general majority of Americans. ANYWAYS, Mike keeps himself super busy with playing keyboards, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and SINGING all in the course of the whole song. That's quite a feat! Brad busts out a gnarly solo, which opened up a new-found possibility that he could be amongst the many respected guitarists. Rob, HOLY SHIT! Such an intricate rhythm that's well pulled off in concert, which amazes me to this day! I can't play it, I wish I could. Joe is not really present onstage for this one, but he makes up for it by having the intro loop going that sets the mood just right. Dave is...surprisingly vocally present in this one! I hope to hear him sing more in the future!

    The entire discography

    LP - 09.14.10 - New York, NY - Best Buy Theater

    in Show Roll Call

    Posted

    Venue is small as shit meaning you can see and hear well from anywhere in the whole theater. Doors at 8 I think? Wouldn't get there till 6:30 if I were you. Hour and a half before is what I always do and is always perfect. You can be way back in line and also be up front too just because how people disperse when they go inside (bathroom, water, merch, food, walk around, chat with people, etc). Wouldn't worry at ALL about this show. Would like to check out NYC and show up at like 6 something.

    Doors open at 7. I wouldn't count on people dispersing, seeing as it is the only US LP show this year. Hell, I wouldn't blame them, I wouldn't give up my spot!

    What's up LPLive? Mark here. Just thought I'd put up a thread saying I'm really enjoying all the activity going on in the community with the excitement and curiosity about LP's new album. "A Thousand Suns" is dropping 9/14 and I can't wait.

     

    Anyway, I wanted to let you in on a little secret.

     

    We're doing a giveaway for a really cool item very soon. That's the only clue I have for now as our staff is still figuring out the exact rules for it, but let the guessing begin!

     

    Thanks for supporting the site - we really appreciate it. I love coming on every day and seeing all the new discussion about whatever has popped up in the news that morning. Thanks!

     

    Remember, the first show of 2010 is only three weeks away!

    A ticket to the 9/14 show.

    "ATS" Concert Release Show = Sold Out?

    LPU should have sent emails, but they shouldn't nullify the tickets that were sold to the people who figured out the code. That's like saying it wasn't fair that Mike made puzzles for the ATS release information. The only difference is this was an unintentional puzzle for concert tickets. It was going to sell out anyways; you snooze, you lose.

    "A Thousand Suns" 9/14 Concert Info / Shorter Setlists?

    problem is: i don't have an active LPU account but i pre-ordered LPUX meaning i should be getting info as well on how to purchase tickets but i have gotten nothing. i've also never done an LPU pre-sale before so i don't know how they work.

     

    if ticketmaster says they will go on sale at 10, maybe that means people will need an LPU code to get them through ticketmaster? that would make the most sense except, we won't have a code if we don't get an e-mail.

     

    That is correct, there should be/should have been a code for us.
