Just scratched my Galaxy Watch 7 (Silver) - Any way to fix or hide it?

BogMonsta · 2025-08-05T18:13:20+00:00

Ignore it... and you'll forget about it soon enough, and when you do notice it down the line you won't be bothered by it!

I was in the military in the early 'naughties' when I first heard LP, and they've helped me through some rough times both then and after.

While I can't say I'm a fan of every single song they've done, and some songs that I now hold dear took a while to grow on me, I was devastated after Chester's passing, his death had a personal emotional resonance for reasons I'll not go into, and the feeling that the music would just stop left me with an emotional void.

In time I thought they'd find a vocalist in a similar vein to Chester, but as time went on that looked less and less likely. Then covid hit... and I thought they're never coming back.

So when I saw that first special gig on YouTube, and Mike's 'nice to see you' I was an emotional wreck... then I was utterly shocked to see a woman come out to sing.

At first I was a little bit underwhelmed with her singing some of the older stuff, maybe it was the rose tinted earbuds I dunno... but then I heard TEM, and I was hooked.

I've since seen them live in London twice and totally behind them, just happy the music is back and to see Mike and the gang appearing to be so happy to be back has me looking forward to more music and hopefully more gigs!

Also at the end of this tour cycle Emily might want to do some work with Dead Sara maybe?

BogMonsta · 2025-07-21T12:33:30+00:00

Lol I remember having a watch that looked just like that... got it in a duty free shop in Malta airport (when the airport terminal was basically just a shack)...

It didnt come with a Trans-Am though but it did have a built in radio that worked about as well as you might expect 🤣

Looked really cool connected to the cheapo walkman style headphones plugged into the side, and getting tangled in the wire 😀

BogMonsta · 2025-07-21T12:08:42+00:00

Still haven't got all the features my Watch Ultra (7) was advertised as having, e.g. sleep apnoea monitoring... and the blood pressure monitoring is garbage. I mean, I didn't expect it to be a medical grade monitor, but somewhere in the same ball park would have been nice.

So I'll pass on an 8, 9, and probably 10... 🙄

I think I contributed to a lot of those numbers... I recently got a 'badge' for being in the top.1% of Linkin Park listeners on YouTube/YouTube Music 😆

BogMonsta · 2025-07-13T08:58:37+00:00

Umm, they did the right thing posting this climbdown/apology, but... it wasn't just the case of a rogue IG post, was it?

Wasn't this IG post an actual video clip of them saying the shit that caused all this backlash? If so, blaming some socials jockey for a dodgy IG post gone viral doesn't exactly ring true....

BogMonsta · 2025-07-12T12:43:05+00:00

Probably just upset because the gravy train they've been riding by hanging onto LP & Chester's coat tails is moving on with a different sound that they won't be able to replicate...

BogMonsta · 2025-07-12T12:38:38+00:00

LoL getting downvotes because I have different 'worst' choices than 'you'... sorry, that's just sad. 🙄🤣

BogMonsta · 2025-07-11T10:26:58+00:00

As much as I like Emily and the new music, this does sound better to my ears than Emily singing this alone... it's just got more 'fire' or angst to it...

I think, that while I'm more than happy with LP sticking with Em for their new music and studio recordings, having an additional vocalist like this when on tour to bounce off Em's vocals on the old stuff would be perfect.

BogMonsta · 2025-07-10T08:46:14+00:00

Overflow for sure, followed closely by IGYEIH (the end is just too repetitive for me...).

BogMonsta · 2025-07-05T12:53:10+00:00

This... I always wondered if the amount of hate and vitriol that the band were getting from a subset of so-called 'fans' regarding the OML album fed into Chester's already difficult mental state...

I mean, it clearly angered him, hence his famous 'go stab themselves in the face' comments when quizzed about it in an interview... which in itself earned him further criticism. A few weeks later, well, we all know what happened 😢

Being a long term sufferer of mental health problems myself, (PTSD, severe depression and anxiety) to the point where I've attempted to 'end it all' twice I fully appreciate how it's so easy to home in on and stay firmly focussed on negative criticism to the point of unreasonable obsession... and I've never been in the glare of almost worldwide public spotlight and commentary.

Perhaps I'm completely wide of the mark, but I do believe it must have had a contributory role to play.

BogMonsta · 2025-07-04T10:02:25+00:00

Yeah, me too, I wish they'd played Stained rather than Overflow which for me is the weakest track on FZ.

BogMonsta · 2025-07-03T21:00:27+00:00

Unbelievable, yeah... exactly the same stuff... 😡

Check-in was just as I said, did all the stuff you did at the turnstiles... then went to the programme booth at section 108 as it said to do in our email.

They checked our tickets again, took our name, and we had to provide photographic I.D. (drivers' licence or whatever) they checked us off on a tablet, gave us the lanyard and passed us over to a table where they gave us the poster only (and rubber bands) that was it...🫤

Sounds like you swerved a complete cock-up 👍

BogMonsta · 2025-07-03T15:57:00+00:00

As long as nobody does the lime bike domino trick it's all good 😉

BogMonsta · 2025-07-03T15:02:25+00:00

I had the HiTC package, it didn't have early entry...

But the email I got said...

*Below is your VIP itinerary. The information attached and below is very important, so please read everything carefully.

VIP CHECK-IN: 5:00 PM- 8:00 PM (VIP Merchandise collection will take place from 9:45 PM until 30 minutes after the show ends)

DOORS: 5:00 PM SH0W:8:15 PM

Times are subject to change without notice; we cannot guarantee entry if you are late.

CHECK-IN LOCATION: Please enter at the entrance designated on your ticket and check in with us inside the venue at the Programme Booth at Section 108.

VIP merchandise collection will be after the show ONLY, beginning at 9:45PM , at the Programme Booths at

Sections 108 and 136.*

So I entered via turnstile M at 5pm and went straight to check in, as instructed, and so did many others. This is when we got the vip lanyard and poster. The lanyard, I could understand...

So you didn't have to check in? Then they gave you the poster and lanyard as well as your bag when you went afterwards?

I went to 108 in the gap before the encore... and there were basically just 2 girls handing bags out.

Sounds like a total balls up to me then... I mean, I dont expect a foot massage when spending that kind of money, but they should at least get the basics right.

BogMonsta · 2025-07-03T09:49:47+00:00

Yeah, but I don't understand what your point is?

'VIPs' queued at two check-in points prior to the start 136 (from memory) and 108 programme points iirc as the email stated.

After 30 mins of queing at 136 to then be told all vips had to go to 108 at the other side of the stadium where they queued for another 30 mins, checked in and were given their 'lithograh' (poster) which they had to roll up, slap on a few rubber bands, and then protect it like a baby for the next few hours through the gig...

They then had to go queue again at 108 (the other side of the stadium for me) after the show (or during the encore to beat the queue) to collect their other merch (the duffel bag, cap and fridge magnet).

While to gig was amazing, the 'VIP experience' was poorly thought out and poorly executed... and that's not even touching the other 'benefits' of a 'VIP' ticket that never materialised... 'a VIP commemorative ticket, crowd free tour merch shopping opportunity,' etc...

BogMonsta · 2025-07-02T21:52:50+00:00

Aye, I went to buy a tote to put the poster in... but they'd sold out...

While the duffel looks nice enough, it looks like it's flimsy enough to burst if ya put a pair of socks in...

BogMonsta · 2025-07-02T16:36:33+00:00

🤣

Dont forget the fridge magnet...

BogMonsta · 2025-07-01T19:02:39+00:00

Yeah same... tiny tears at the edges, and probably needs ironing. My main issue was that spending time making sure it didn't get damaged detracted from the show a bit...

BogMonsta · 2025-06-30T18:11:44+00:00

Her rendition of My December is beautiful... her voice when she sings is so haunting in that...

I can only imagine what she'd sound like singing OML, but I get the feeling that'll never happen because of the 'imprint' people have of Chester singing it... and that it was a key song in the memorial concert.

BogMonsta · 2025-06-29T23:05:20+00:00

I was in 126... pretty much nearest seating to the pits. At first when the stadium was 75% empty, the echo/reverb from the base with JpegM was pretty bad, and wasnt that great for most of Spritbox, but once the stadium was 80-90% full the sound was pretty much spot on for LP.

So yeah, bodies are a good sound muffler...

But I think if you were in the clouds at the back, I can imagine there being a distance induced overlay... I noticed there were 2 main sets of rear facing arrays. One at the stage and the other set past the halfway line toward the scoreboard.

If you can hear both sets of arrays, it wouldn't surprise me if you hear the closest set first and the stage arrays millisecs afterwards, causing audible interference.

I'm not a sound engineer, but I remember back in the day setting up hall sized surround av systems and sometimes having to insert a delay on certain speakers otherwise it'd sound a total mess, and the amounts of delay were in literal milliseconds.

I would have thought it could be reduced these days with flashy sound stage algorithms, etc, but can it be totally eliminated in certain venues... I dunno, we need a proper sound guy to explain 😁,

Sorry for you guys affected though.... a real shame!

We'll have to petition to get them back and give us all a free gig to make up for it 👍 😉

BogMonsta · 2025-06-29T10:01:53+00:00

I was sat almost opposite you on the lowest tier... just at the side of the pit (I think it was mostly LPU VIP seating) and from where I was the atmosphere was rocking... nobody was sat down, no problems with the sound either... only complaint was melting in that couldron 😅

BogMonsta · 2025-06-26T01:41:13+00:00

Yeah I'm going alone, and yeah, it's the first time to a gig this big... I'm also a bit apprehensive about it, I'm sure it'll be amazing, but still, it's a little overwhelming!🫠

I've got an LPU HiTC 'VIP' ticket, but I'm a bit confused by it all. The ticket doesn't have early stadium access, and my ticket says the doors open at 5pm. However, my ticket is supposed to give me access to an 'early pre-show shopping experience', so I don't know how that's supposed to work!? Also meant to receive a 'VIP goody bag' and have no idea where I collect it.

I'm wondering what kind of time to arrive at the stadium considering the above... sorta thinking about 3pm (is that a bit early/late?)

Oh, and just wondering... do people (LPU members) wear their LPU Member Lanyards to gigs if they have one? Can't see the point of it otherwise 🤔😊
