If you were going to see Linkin Park live, what songs would you HAVE TO SEE? You can also say what you don't want to hear if you want. For me it's like this: Wants: High Voltage What I've Done Pushing Me Away (piano ballad) Nobody's Listening Figure .09 Shadow of the Day Victimized/QWERTY Iridescent Jornada del Muerto/ Waiting for the End Breaking the habit Crawling No More Sorrow Given Up Faint You Suffer (Napalm Death Cover) When They Come For Me The messenger (New Toned Down Version) Powerless Roads untraveled A Place for my Head In Pieces Burning in the Skies The Catalyst Papercut With You One Step Closer Lost in the Echo I probably could go on about pretty much every LP song, and I probably left some out that I love, but these are what came into my head. Ive never been to an LP show, so I would really like to hear most of these. Not wants: Lies Greed Misery Valentines Day Until It Breaks Runaway Forgotten Don't Stay These are songs I really just don't like
During rehearsals pre-2012: "Hey guys! Let's add an epic guitar/synth intro to that song with god-awful lyrics and cringeworthy delivery, everyone will love it again!" "Brilliant! And when the new album drops let's keep it on the setlist rather than play some new material that everyone's dying to hear!" I swear sometimes this band makes some "interesting" decisions...
I actually want more of Mike's rap, however he isn't that good onstage. In particular, the song that I don't want on stage is - Crawling. Just way too ehh.
They have to play Somewhere I Belong in the tour because 1) it's one of their most famous singles (it did better worldwide than Faint, Papercut, Given Up, Waiting for the End and even One Step Closer) 2) it's a fan favorite (there's a whole other fanbase other than LPA) and 3) it a song that they actually perform well. At least better than performances of Crawling and Lost in the Echo
I UNDERSTAND WHY METEORA ISNT POPULAR ON HERE AND ITS NOT MY FAVORITE ALBUM EITHER BUT I LOVE "SOMEWHERE I BELONG" AND IF I SAW THEM LIVE AND THEY DIDNT PERFORM IT I WOULD BE BROKEN
