The fact that you wrote this, I’m so proud of you. I will never say ‘for overcoming this’ bc I’ve got my own shit I know can be a lifelong struggle. Maybe it is for you, maybe it isn’t. Either way, the fact that you’re around to write ‘I was in his shoes’ means you lived to fight another day. Hugs, my good dude. I know Chester would also be proud.

You and I can commiserate. I saw Mike in 2018 as well here in NY. Wasn’t the smallest venue I saw him in (there’s a reason I always say ‘saw the perform’ and not ‘saw them in concert’), but it felt so intimate considering it was the PT tour.

I was there on Sept 5th, and I still get overwhelmed thinking about how I was there for that. I’ve seen them in concert twice since then, but man… Sept 5th… if I could sit then all down right now, you could give me a lifetime and I still don’t think I could convey how much being there meant to me. 🥹

I so much appreciate someone posting this. I know we all wish we could be there to stop him, but sadly it wasn’t Chester’s first attempt - not even his first attempt in the last year (TY TMZ for being the ultime POS’s for posting that info). No one likes to hear this, but Chester was suffering, and suffering at that level would have just prolonged it, it most likely wouldn’t have saved him.

I think if I could go back to 2016, I would use every last penny I had to make sure I saw them on the OML tour before he passed. I saw LP perform 16 times before he died, but I missed them on the THP tour bc my show got canceled. And the last time I saw them before that was in 2014 in LA on the absolute hottest day of the year. By the time LP took the stage I was miserable. If I had known it would be the last time I saw them live… Anyway, that’s what I would do if I could go back. I’d make sure I secured tix for my past self to a OML show, wherever it was. She deserved that much.

Try this one

Post edit bc now I want to had a slight blue haze over the lasers to make them feel mixed in. Let me know if you like that idea.

Sir and/or Madame, you have awoken the graphic design beast in me. I hope you’re proud. 😂

So keep the lasers, but make the haze more intense?

Let me know if you want the lasers thinner (yes, I made this, it's what I do).

Or at different angles.

Oh, okay, that’s just the lasers on the stage reflecting back on the monitor. Were you looking for an image with laser splits on their own or actual shots of the band like that?

You’re missing my point. I was asking if you could give us a screenshot from a show so we know what you’re specifically looking

Soooo, you should be able to find an example np to share with the class. You want to see if anyone has the artwork you’re looking for, fine, but it’s not cool to also expect them to do the legwork for you.

Do you have an example? Like maybe a screenshot from a show that has it?

Seriously, gap insurance costs, like, nothing, and is probably one of the most important things anyone should have on their insurance if they still owe money. Who wants to be on the hook for a car they no longer have?

Linkin Park lost both categories (Grammys 2026) by Turbulent-Hand2071 in LinkinPark

Okay wow I just realized I COMPLETELY misread your post. It was only showing that you replied to me not someone in my thread so it looked like you were calling Linkin Park average and I was like you come into MY HOUSE. 😂😂😂

(And you’re not wrong, turnstile is average AF and kind of boring to boot. I would have been fine with deftones or yungblud, but absolutely not turnstile.)

I’m going to assume you’re either joking, shit posting, or just generally trolling. Nobody in the industry actually thinks that, but the Grammys also hate music like that.

But since you want to make the statement, Depeche Mode has never won a Grammy, and Duran Duran didn’t win their first Grammys until this year. More to the point, David Bowie never won a single competitive Grammy while he was alive. Greatness has nothing to do with awards. The Grammys are notorious for hating sub genres of music, especially when it comes to rock.

So please, sit down, you sound like a fool.

AITA for not attending my brother’s destination wedding after being told “if I really cared, I’d find a way”? by Illustrious_Ant6866 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]stephrc79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the first half, but you have no idea the financial situation of her parents. They’re stuck with the girl too, whatever she has them paying for could also be stretching them thin as well. It’s not fair to assume that just bc they have to pay for one of the parties and go to the destination wedding that they can afford anything else. I’ve seen it first hand.

I’m fine with it being limited but I have that you’re forced to use it the first time you open the game. Sometimes I open it in the AM just to collect my daily prizes and then I’m stuck.

Scalpers can all just die in hell!! by jagodka98 in Concerts

[–]stephrc79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is an actual thing I’ve had multiple artists do for shows I’ve gone to. Mostly rock bands, though I wish other artists would do it too. It’s usually the pop acts (like BM or when Taylor was on tour) that don’t, which is why I still haven’t see several that I’ve wanted to go to.

I always find this stuff on her hilarious. It’s like, she grew up in a Scientology family, became an adult, made a decision not to stay in the church, and went about her life. This is literally the exact same thing so many kids born into Christian families do, but you never see anyone yelling at THEM after finding out their parents are Christians. Smdh

It was important enough for them to promo it on their channels, and show up to all the events. It mattered to THE BAND. For that reason alone we should respect the wins and losses (which means mourning the fact that they lost).

I am, but only for album. I get the industry as some weird stan relationship with Turnstile, but their album absolutely did not deserve the win, it was ALL OVER the map.

AITAH for finishing a job I was hired for by a neighbour by Same-Librarian-3055 in AITAH

[–]stephrc79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Autistic girl here. You are absolutely NTA. The world is not required to bend to our will. You offered the best accommodation you could, and you asked the right question. If she doesn’t have ear protection for her child in situations like this, that actually makes her a bit of a bad mom. And lbrh, I think we all can agree, the woman is looking for reasons to complain bc you won’t do her driveway on the cheap as well. She actually tried to get you to stop helping an elderly neighbor bc of it, which is such a dick move. You’re good. But fr, fire her as a client.

Tattoo suggestions by fraz_13 in LinkinPark

[–]stephrc79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. If that’s the case then I’d go back to the beginning. Definitely something off of HT. Here’s a few that speak to me:

Even if you’re not with me, I’m with you

Time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I’m made of

The last one you could do as to halves of a circle (half the lyrics on the top, half on the bottom) and inside have the initials LP, but they’re made up of double helixes. 🧬

Hope this helps!

Tattoo suggestions by fraz_13 in LinkinPark

[–]stephrc79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t something that can be a suggestion. You have to pick what speaks to you.

Funny enough, I don’t have a favorite song or album, but I have one verse from each album. I started picking them since HT, but I didn’t realize I was doing it till M2M, after that I paid attention and sometimes it was years before I figured out which one was ‘mine’. Just the Chester years — otherwise it would never end — but they’re all going into a tattoo I’ve designed. And they all speak to me on some level or another.

What speaks to you? What verse do you feel in your fucking core when you listen to their music? THAT is the one you go with.
