Linkin Park European Tour Begins Today!

I really really hope they play Burning In The Skies.

 

I think Burning in the Skies will be a must-play very soon, also because is not between the massive-effects songs that makes them so hard to do live. I'd have rather more doubts on Blackout, will see how it would turn out, specially the Chester's crazy remixed voice outro. From MTM In Pieces was always one of the most loved songs, and it was never or very rarely played live, am i wrong? I fear Blackout will be the same.

 

In Pieces was played quite a few times- it was very rare. Not that they never played it.

Me too! =]
Robot Boy is in my top 3 ATS tracks! I hope they play that too!! =D

 

Dont see why they shouldn't be able to perform Burning in the skies?
Blackout i could understand.

Hmm i rather want Burning in the skies than some of there older songs, or even as Bonus, it would be awesome

 

yeah was really thinking about burning in the skies....that's my top song in ATS followed by iridescent, catalyst, waiting for the end and messenger

 

Well Blackout has alot of sampled vocals that might be hard to re-create live. In Pieces is definently one of the most underrated songs on MTM though, and I was dissapointed they didnt play it live as much. I watched a video of Linkin Park performing In Pieces and it just didnt sound as good as the recording, I think some songs just arent meant to be played live.

 

I'm sure they can find ways to make it work live. Before, they were operating under the context of a rock band, and that's what we were expecting. I'm hoping for a break of form and finding ways to perform songs to the fullest artistically without being restrict to the rock band format.

 

Off to Manchester gig, deffo get some photos there

 

ohh I wish they would come to Estonia

 

Newcastle gig should be pretty ace.. first time they've played in the North East of England, cant wait to go!

 

Can't wait for the Setlist

I think I would like The Catalyst be played near the end of the set,
and I really wish they aren't dropping Pushing Me Away (piano), that was just so cool!

 

pretty cool set-list there iridescent - and welcome to the LPA!

 

Thanks! To be honest.. I visited the site before a bunch of times but I never made a Account so far! Great Site btw!

 

I would have thought that with the album being out for over a month, 15 people would have already taken the song titles as names lol. Lucked out.

Now, back to business:
Burning in the Skies live would be an absolute delight

I concur with the majority in not seeing Blackout performed live, at least not anytime soon - the setlist has definitely gotten bigger and does anyone really expect not just Chester, but ANY singer, to sing like 10 songs, scream your brains out in Blackout, and then sing another 12 - 13 songs and NOT start coughing up blood or something crazy? That's definitely over exaggerating it, but ... yeah.

I find it funny that most people don't like Robot Boy (I'm not one of them), yet many people want to see it played live. Can hearing a song live possibly make you suddenly like it? Don't know about anyone else, but if I don't like it, I just don't like it lol.

What I want to see live is Wretches & Kings ... withOUT Chester messing up

 

I would love to see Blackbirds or Pretend to Be live but I have a sense that it's not going to happen lol.

 

Blackbirds live would be pretty cool - without Mike's random(?) intro thing.

Pretend To Be is badass, and I love it, but playing it live when you've got stuff like When They Come For Me, Wretches & Kings, and Waiting for the End in the setlist, Pretend To Be would be like ... a downgrade, for lack of a better word. Just my opinion.

 

My one of the favorite one is "The Iridescent" but I don't know how does it sound in live. Of course "The Blackout" and "Wretches and Kings" are quite powerful.
