[Linkin_lp_park]

Man..Mother Nature, it's so crazy One hour there is Sun, the other Hour there is a Tornado or something

[MayaTheVampire]

actually....the tornado and the whole rain thing lasted just for 10 minutes....and then the sun came back...

[Tomer]

I feel sorry for all the fans... Especially for those who came from another country..

i mean coming from far and not being able to see them..

And yeah what can you do about it?

 

I hope all the injured fans will recover quickly. But i don't think that the fans that missed the opportuninty to watch LP live, should worry about not seeing them again, I mean i am sure LP will make it up and come back!

 

Quote from their myspace

I am almost 100% sure that they'll visit italy again in their future European tour.
