Can’t get enough of Linkin Park?

Then you’ll be happy to read this — the band is teaming up with a group of “official bootleggers,” to bring you their live experience™ directly after the show.

Rockers Linkin Park have teamed up with a group of official bootleggers to make sure fans attending their upcoming shows get a live recording of the concert – for free.

The complimentary download of will be available to fans who simply send a text message to a short code displayed at each venue. A link will then be emailed to them following the concert.

“Official bootleg.” That sounds wrong to me, like “Rockers Linkin Park,” or “Linkin Park the band.” But, hopefully more bands pick this up so we get less people with their phones making unusable recordings and me getting annoyed by it. See an example after the jump (warning: you’re about to get a dose of Linkin Park’s Live Experience™).

Def Leppard are going on tour

According to Blabbermouth, Def Leppard might be going on a two-month tour with Heart and Kansas. Or are they doing the tour in Kansas? Fuck it if I know.

Well, on one hand, I don’t really care, but on the other hand… Well, there’s no other hand.

Lemmy likes the penny

There’s a beer commercial featuring Mötorhead playing a slowed down version of “Ace of Spades.” Why did they do it?

“We got paid a lot of money” said Lemmy.

Wow, what a surprise. And here I was thinking you just did it for the fans, cause they like beer. At least he’s honest about it.

Chester has an opinion.

Every time a tragedy occurs, you get an onslaught of celebrities commenting on the event in the press, as if anyone really cares what they think.

To be fair to Chester Bennington, he’s not a celebrity, so his commenting on the recent Arizona shooting makes sense. Especially since he’s also from Arizona, so, you know, he must ‘get’ it.

“We live in a crazy world. There’s no explanation for it. I personally feel that violence and war and murder are primitive, and I think that we’ve evolved as a species beyond that. Unfortunately some people still feel that’s a means to an end”

I’d take Chester a bit more seriously if he didn’t have two huge earrings with the symbol of death on them. Or if he wasn’t responsible for either this, this, this or this. But I know what he means.

When asked if he’d make an exception and get primitive on Mike Shinoda’s ass for turning Linkin Park into Daft Punk, Chester had no comment.

Remember Glassjaw?

You know Glassjaw, right? The band that’s been making their new album for the past decade or so. Well, I don’t know what I missed in 2010 (besides regular sex, a good job and true love :(), but the guys are doing something unimaginable: releasing new shit.

A few days after the release of their “Our Color Green” EP, comes a new song, “Gold.” The new song will be featured on an entirely new (and free) EP they will be releasing at live shows exclusively, called “Coloring Book.” I think I see a pattern, and it includes colors. Yours truly, Captain Obvious.

Tickets on their website, more info here, and the song after the jump.
