Video: VMA Live Performance of "The Catalyst"

Damn, I cant stop watching the performance
I felt kinda sad for Paramore though, I was expecting at least one full song and all a got was a The Only Exception medley :'(

 

I want the other songs....

 

damn that was dope!!! what a nice performance

 

Nice performance. Thanks for posting this. . Too bad it was shortened version.

 

...so did they play anything else?

 

if you're talking about their clothing:
[ random]
Dave looked good, he now wears "tighter" jeans around the legs, no more those wide jeans
Brad looked good
Joe looked good
Rob...looked good
chester wore his G-star jacket from Sonisphere and sunglasses, I dont like these boots but anyway he looked good
Mike HAD A HAIRCUT, liked it longer better oh and looked good.

They all have the similar good looking rock band style... [ /random]


about the singing: they all did a great job and its nice to hear Joe, because I believe he's a good singer (See Tesla Park LPTV). Dont judge the performance by a crappy MTV video, those people who went to the show said it sounded really good and I believe pooch did a good job too.

 

Yahoo music wasnt to impressed with the band I see...

"Rock: still in hibernation. Is there such a thing as a major rock & roll band now? If so, it wasn't represented on the VMAs. Linkin Park's appearance seemed impressive, at least until viewers figured out that it was the Griffith Observatory setting that was impressive. But their now rap-less NIN/U2 hybrid sound didn't exactly make them rebels without a cause. If there was a rock band you'll remember from the evening, unfortunately, it may be the group in that annoying credit-check commercial."

Damn, SO stoked to see them live in November after seeing this!

 

But it's also Yahoo Music, and who still uses Yahoo nowadays?

 

This is the HQ version of the performance if you want to watch it offline. Believe me, this version is good enough for all of you. This video has better quality than most of version available now on Youtube.

Not only a WIN...but a EPIC WIN LoL

 

I mostly agree with this assessment. There are a few other things that may have made him sound a little "off" at the performance, like the vocal effects being turned up a little too high. Since it is the first performance of the song, it would have been very difficult to get everything set just right for the broadcast mix. The mix itself probably wasn't perfect, either. Most TV live performances sound a little off anyways, imo, especially when it's an outdoor performance. They only broadcast the first song, so there wasn't much chance to make sure it was going out sounding just right. I'm sure it sounded much better at the concert, and any mixing issues will be fixed after they study the performance and make adjustments.

5 vocalists FTW

 

that's got to be the most boring performance ever.

how linkin park are not gonna get bored playing this song over and over on tour i've no idea.

 

The guys sounded good. Mike sounded INCREDIBLE. SO proud of his performance

 

Awesome performance. And Chester did an awesome job, especially on the final verse. He gives it his all!

 

Saw it last night. It was great! Too bad they butchered the song, but I liked it. Brad was more prominent than in the studio version and the vocals by all the bound sounded great.

 

its awesome to c all band members singing.....
