Linkin Park - From Zero (November 15th, 2024) • Page 44

If it’s not the entire run most of the Europe/germany stadiums are already sold out including an 80k stadium. Also their day on one of the overseas fests is sold out.

wembley is sold out

they are and always have been a way bigger band outside of the United States

 

Thank goodness for O2 priority presale that I managed to get my ticket a few days ago, I knew it will sell well but sold out wembley stadium before midday UK time is mental!!

 

Real serial killer behavior.

Edit: The person who made it, not you.

Edit edit: As far as I know.

 

Other than ticket and Hotel packages and Platinum tickets.. everything else ticket wise including normal front standing and rear standing tickets for Wembley Stadium has sold out!!

 

The UK (and basically most of Europe) appreciate rock n roll and live music so much more than we do here in America.

Meanwhile, in NYC....

 

How are the ticket prices for the US shows vs the Europe shows? We were already talking in the MCR thread about how fucked they can be in the US comparatively, could be a factor here too

 

It's roughly the same. At least not enough to make the difference between selling out in a day and barely moving anything at all.

To be fair, if you take out the stupidly overpriced VIP packages, I think floor is gone/mostly gone in some of the major markets in the US (at least Brooklyn and Chicago). Smaller markets are pretty bad, though

 

Yeah if you filter out the VIP package tickets for NYC the floor is gone as well as at least half of the lower bowl.

As far as ticket prices I can't speak to all markets, but the NYC tickets ranged from $90 to $550. But those 90 dollar ones are the literal last rows of the worst sections. Most of the upper deck was still around $160.

 

Upon many further listens of this album - I am very much enjoying it.

Overflow is becoming a top tier LP song for me.

 

i'd say that tickets overall are alot more expensive here in the us.
and that's BEFORE 'convenience' fees that are a percentage of the ticket price rather than a flat fee for all tickets.
and then ticketmaster's 'platinum pricing', which is basically tm scalping their own tickets.
prices drop last minute either by location or by people that can't make the show.
i plan to be in wembley for the LP shop with the design of buying somethin last minute on the cheap.

 

The album is so oldschool but with female vocals (see: Tonight Alive), and yet so new in that it's unmemorable fast food tracks.

 

So after reading about user-created b-side playlists in other threads, I got inspired to try to make my own for Linkin Park, and I ended up with two.

11. Friendly Fire
12. High Voltage
13. My December
14. New Divide

01. Sold My Soul To Yo Mama
02. QWERTY
03. Step Up
04. It's Goin' Down
05. A Light That Never Comes

11. Darker Than Blood
12. Standing In The Middle
13. The Last Line
14. Wesside
15. Healing Foot

I almost included "We Made It" and "Could Have Been", but the former sounded too poppy and the latter too rough (understandable since it's only a demo).

 

Yeah the Portland date isn’t selling well at all. The market in the US is definitely hit and miss for most acts right now and Jpegmafia is not really support that will draw many people in. If they had few nostalgic bands of their area I think it would have helped this tour sell better here.

 

The Mall tracks are so underrated. Last Line and It Goes Through are pretty high up there in my overall rankings for them

 

This was honestly my first time hearing them when putting this together and I'm surprised they're not more talked about, especially "White Noise" since it sounds the most like a typical latter-day heavy Linkin Park song.

But the others are all good too. "Devil's Drop" is a fun folk-type song, "The Last Line" is a mood, and "It Goes Through" is fascinating because of how much it pushes Mike's singing range.

 

White Noise was a leftover from The Hunting Party, so that makes sense.

They're actually all demos from throughout the latter half of their career (at the time). Devil's Drop and It Goes Through were from Living Things, and The Last Line was started during MTM and stuck around through ATS

 

Reading about LP albums and I had forgotten this quote about "All For Nothing" which kind of puts "Casualty" in context.

There's a universe somewhere where we had Mike singing like Page on "All For Nothing".

 

Don't think I've ever heard those The Mall songs, now I'm curious

 

Technically aren't Linkin Park songs, but close

 

Yeah, they involved Hahn, Mike, Chester, and Dave, so it's enough of LP to not matter. They sound like LP songs, especially around that era.

 

Also, update on my b-sides playlists, I removed Pictureboard from the second one, so now they're both fourteen songs, or I guess thirteen with an intro. It's a cool song and different from anything they did since, but it just was way too rough sounding in comparison to everything else.

 

More members than the current version of the band......

 

Why would they not be? They were started as Linkin Park demos and didn't meaningfully change from those versions for the soundtrack. You may as well say The Messenger isn't a Linkin Park song either at that point.

Actually the same amount
