NewsOK has recently posted an article discussing with Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington about the current tour. Along with details we already know, such as the free DSP downloads for everyone who attends a show on the North American tour, the band also revisit the possibility of actually performing A Thousand Suns in it's entirety at some stage. The band also shed more light on maybe using 3D technology at some point in the future by maybe releasing a "3D film". "Shinoda said Linkin Park is talking about special shows where they play A Thousand Suns in its entirety, to better capture the album's moody feel. Beyond that, they've explored the possibility of a 3D film? but for now, those plans are hush-hush." READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE! Source: NewsOK
It's interesting that they're still discussing the possibility of performing A Thousand Suns in its entirety, they must be fond of the idea as it's been discussed since before the album even came out. It's something they should do, but I can imagine it's hard to pick a scenario to do it, as casual fans will always want the hits. As for the 3D film, maybe they're planning a new 3D ATS Tour DVD. ...but seriously, who knows. Will be interesting to see what comes from this and I'm always happy to see them trying new things.
3D show visuals would be awesome. And, yeah, a 3D live DVD would be awesome too. As for playing the album all the way through live ... they could just, yeah, play "A Thousand Suns" all the way through and, then, spend the encore playing old singles. :"
I think a 3D film was probably discussed back when ATS was going to be more of a blatant concept album.
I have a feeling we are gonna like this surprise. I loved "Live In Texas," and then maybe ATS as a 3D DVD? That'd be Epic!
When I went to see MCR during TBP era they played TBP in its entirety then did an encore with 5 or 6 songs from the previous 2 albums. Seems like a decently fair way to handle it.
Hmm, what's with bands wanting to make films? Angels and Airwaves recently produced and scored a new sci-fi film called Love.
YES!!! HOPE THIS DREAM OF MINE COMES TRUE!!! ATS MOVIE!!! dont really care whether its 3d or not though.. live dvd is sure to come one day but ATS MOVIE IS WHAT WILL RULE!!!
I got chills thinking about ats in it's entirety at a concert. Wish it would happen at my concert. Then i would get to hear all the songs from ats. And 3d movie would be amazing. But how would we watch it? IMAX?
I've seen so many 3D films and most of them sucked. I don't really care about 3D films to be honest. They really should play ATS in full though
