Regarding the setlist issue: Linkin Park will play in Manchester, down the road from my flat, this month. I have seen LP the past two times they have played in Manchester. I also saw them at Download 2014. I love Linkin Park. I will not be attending their show this month. Why? Because I don't want to pay £50 for a show I know for a fact will not be nearly as good as Download 2014. I don't think that setlist is worth 50 pounds. I ust know 'd go, enjoy it, but always know that Download was better
That's fair. I don't think I'd ever want to see LP more than once per album cycle ... unless they'd introduced ten new songs into the set during the interim between two shows. So the fact that they only come to my town once per album cycle works great for me.
Thank you for your feedback, I know Derek already replied, but as the one who did the interview, I feel that I should say something, too. I don't know how you imagine this, but gear costs money and working on Altwire is on a voluntary basis (for now). We don't have big sponsors, investors or huge ad clients like MTV or The Rolling Stone. Share the site's articles and we might get those production values sooner. Until then you might have to lose your high expectations because there will be more interviews in the not so distant future. Be happy we do those at all. Both Derek and I have full time jobs and admin big LP fansites. Time is the big production value for us. Appreciate it! Basically you are right though :-D
And got so f***ing far Do you allow cursing here? I strongly recommend to curse in the LPFC forums but not every forum can be as uncivilized as we are.
It's a great interview, Derek. AltWire did a great job. Sound wasn't as bad for me. I guess I'm used to listening to stuff on low volume because of my previous laptop. And that bit at the end about purists and about why purists are even selling their records is actually quite true. It always is annoying when people say "Linkin Park soldout after Meteora". Fuckin' that.
It'll be up this week. I know I said today, but I'm juggling multiple things. If someone in this thread wants to transcribe it, we have no issues putting that up with thanks to them.
