and here is chester saying what he said about us !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q6GkxTgA6Q
now tell 120.000 people we donât Love LP as much as Germany !!!
oh and go look up on step closer at download and see 120.000 people go nuts !!! or you want that video too ? well here it is
Whoa, hold on a second there. I never said Germans are better fans than British people or whatever. I just said that the majority of the fans are there and England? Iâm damn sure comes right after. But I donât understand why you see it as a competition of who is better? Iâm not questioning anyoneâs loyalty as a fan and hell no am I comparing them. Weâre all equal here.
You asked why Germany and I tried to explain it. No need to go about it like this on me.

because you go on on and on about Germany having best fans and there not I am asking for fair share of dates for all fans but your not picking up on it and as I told you download dose not tell or ask linkin park to do hybrid theory ! but people from border countries go to Germany so they can see LP live hollad had one date also last year and donât have any dates this year and I keep saying around the world I am not asking for LP to tour here I had two amazing concerts last year so not expecting them to tour here but why only giving countries one date and Germany gets 14 in less that a year this is purley to do with money and why have LPU HQ not come out and said why this is happening ? fans wat to know why Germany again I am using my LPU membership to make there voices heard and bring attention to what is being said across all social media !! go read twitter fb official pages and you will see and read fans are not happy !!!
and I told you other countries not getting a fair share donât have to always be in Germany what about those other countries getting nothing at all ? donât you think it is time they got tour to there country ???
I think we have to make peace with it. It basically is not something that can be dealt with easily. I think that in the central part of Europe, especially Germany (which was toured last year), LP gained more popularity which is unprecedented for the region. Probably this is why, the sponsors are trying to cash upon the same.
There is absolutely no denying that this makes the fans from other countries sad. There are still countries, where if they tour, they will find audiences as huge as RAR2004 in every city, but alas!

@Chris_Styles I never said German fans are the best, I just said that Germany has the biggest fanbase as in numbers. You can check in my previous posts. And I did say that I agree with you about the other countries not getting any dates, I just tried to explain to you why Germany all the time, thatâs all. Iâm sorry you see it as if I am pro Germany tours only or that I think they are the best fans. It is not the case at all and I believe my comments donât suggest so either.
As for Download and HT being played in itâs entirety, the interview you linked me to doesnât say it was their choice but anyways, I donât think that matters. Whatever they play live is amazing either way.
Lastly, the HQ is pretty aware of all the fans wanted the guys to play in their countries but like Iâve mentioned in my previous comments there are a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration. Apart from sponsors, management and all that, keep in mind that all countries have different laws etc so that is another factor thatâs making it harder for them. India for example, the guys know they have a ton of fans there but they havenât yet found a way to go and play there simply because of some law issues. They need to sort these things out so, same goes for all the countries. There are just too many things that need to be done before touring.
@amitrish Yeah, popularity plays an important role as well indeed. Again, I donât mean that in other countries the guys arenât popular or anything, so just to be clear.
Bottom line is, getting a tour together is hard work and requires a lot of planning and negociations and stuff, itâs not something to be be scheduled over night.

yes it dose but as I keep saying make dates in other countries only same for every place they tour it is no more easy to do dates in Germany than rest of the world
I think weâve gotten way passed the point of being understood in this topic so Iâm gonna leave it as it is. I tried to eexplain a couple of things, you did too but weâre not getting anywhere so⌠yeah. Iâm out, have a good weekend.
Haha, I know what you mean. I am not saying that you are supporting any country, my point was only that LP still has a lot of ground to cover in terms of there fanbase, who are yet to see them live.
Also, since they have never visited my country ever, I am more or less indifferent when they announce tour dates.Now, I am saving money to watch them live on some other continent.

MONEY⌠(This subject makes me sad)
Germany probably is the most profitable place for them to play (otherwise they wouldnât play 14 shows there in 1 album cycle), and as long as they keep playing there a lot it will be. LP has been very well promoted there for many years, compared to other countries. I donât believe itâs the amount of fans exactly⌠Look at Brazil for example, HUGE fanbase, but they donât get many shows. So the problem is money for sure.
Iâm relieved that theyâre (slowly) playing more countries again or for the first time.
Hope to see this more in the future. I mean itâs not that the band will go broke from playing other countries (and German fans can travel too if theyâre not pleased with âonlyâ 2-3 shows a tour. They have planes/trains/busses/cars just like we do).
For me personally this last fall tour was a disaster when it got announced, 9 shows in Germany, while none in Belgium (which at the time only had 2 dates in 14 years), which is right next to it, while it could easily be 8 shows in Germany and 1 in Belgium. I remember a lot of Belgian fans were pissed during this announcement. And they all (including me) ended up travelling to all these German datesâŚ
But now, after a ton of fansâ requests year after year, we finally have our own tour date again! Pukkelpop! (One day we might even get our own headline show).
Hope India is next on their Asia tour (whenever that may be)!
And why doesnât UK get more dates? I always enjoy travelling to UK for shows!
France & Spain are easily avoided as well these days⌠Sad.

Itâs not just the money though⌠not gonna say again everything Iâve tried to explain in my previous posts.
Iâd love it if they played my country again too but as much as the fans are trying to get them here, itâs not happening due to the sponsors asking for too much money from LP to book them (which I understand cause the amount is bonkers). And again, I never said I agree with them playing Germany and the UK so much (just to be clear in case all my other comments werenât). And Germans fans do travel too.
I do hope theyâll figure a way to go to India too, theyâve been trying a lot the last 2 years, Iâd love to finally see it happen.
