It absolutely is yeah, but I still think 20,000 for a band that big after such a long period away AND with all the goodwill they've always had here, is an easy ask. The O2 is absolutely shit by the way so you're not missing out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted Friday at 10:11 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:11 AM I've seen a few people kicking off because it's not the full band now. Obviously Chester, but the drummer didn't want anything to do with the reform and quit, and now the guitarist has announced he'll only be doing writing and studio stuff and won't be playing live with the band anymore.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted Friday at 12:46 PM Moderators Share Posted Friday at 12:46 PM Given the timing after all this blow back around the Danny Masterson connection it feels like it's much more likely to be related to that. Which i think is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic Indie Lad Posted Friday at 01:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:20 PM Thinking about telling my 2001 self that in 20+ years, Linkin Park will reform with a new singer. That singer will have to immediately release a statement justifying their previous friendship with Hyde off of that 70s show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more that you can imagine being one of those bands members (who I'm guessing has a pretty comfortable life and doesn't desperately need the tour money) seeing all the media around this and thinking 'fuck it, I don't need this shit' and bailing.
