  LP never played a stadium show in México in Chester`s era, but now, they played 3 stadium shows. I think 7 years of absence allowed them to settle things out and let the fandom grow on the wild, in a very organic way. They came back as a legendary rock band but, at the same time, as a new one with a new singer and a new album. I think that there are many little factors determining the success of this comeback, the music industry needed this desperately to reignite the whole rock and roll industry, LP is a top tier rock band, but not that old to be considered as a classic band like The Stones or Metallica, and now with Emily, they have the freshness they needed to attract new audiences between the Gen Z.

  Why not... Why shouldn't I watch this reaction again after watching it on stream already.

  Em and Colling bringing that fan energy up to the stage is my favourite feature with the new lineup.

  It makes perfect sense to me that she'd like performing some of the old ones more. She has a connection to those ones as a fan, as opposed to the new ones where it's "just" her own art. You can like your own music as much as you want, maybe even think it's better than the music that inspired you, but if you get a chance to perform the songs that inspired you as a member of that band, it'll feel more special in some ways than performing anything she could write herself.

  Love their energy with each other. Mike giving me the respectfully excited big brother vibe ❤ mikes perspective is cool too. Imagine your spending your life creating music and some 20 years down the line you end up working with these amazing younger musicians that literally grew up listening to your band. Putting your ego aside like how amazing and wondrous of a situation is that :) beautiful really

  They are bigger now. As for me I've never been their fan but now I am considering having an expensive trip to another country to see them

  The tattoo bit is easily my favorite moment in any interview/BTS ever for so many reasons. For one, it says a lot about Emily that she was so chill about it, throwing it away like a "wouldn't that be funny?" kind of moment, but I guarantee that just like when she was asked to join the band on "some shows" she was probably freaking out when she got to her car. She never shows her arms, so I haven't seen any confirmation, but I'm positive she went straight to a tattoo parlor after that. As both a fan and now member of Linkin Park, the sheer weight of being able to have Mike write those two simple letters on her arm can't be put into words, and you know he understood what was happening in that moment, but they were both so humble and collected about it.

  Thrilled to watch this once again although I watched it on patreon. &nbsp;This is really better than with interviewers. I agree there with you. Would also be fine to do this quarterly. I would also agree they are bigger band now than before for the reason you mentioned. But new stuff is also trending good. Boggles me to see on Spotiffy, emptiness machine is literally on the first place, surpassed Numb and In the end. Heavy is the crown and Two faced are top 5-10 too. So happy.

  I really love these conversations and I hope they continue with them, including the other band members as well. Their dynamic is so funny and uplifting, it&apos;s great to watch.<br><br>I think the world is finally ready to welcome rock back into the mainstream in 2025, which makes me very happy. In these crazy times, music can build bridges and connect people from all over the world. ❤
