Linkin Park
 

This is kinda like the Gorillaz thread so what we gonna do here is discuss the band Linkin Park.

I have all their cd's and im gonna say it, im on the brink of being obsessed. These guys are awesome, they aren't really rock or alternative, but a music of their own. With their mix of techno, hip hop, and rock yopu are nearly overwhelmed when you listen to them. The band members are Chester Bennington (vocals), Mike Shinoda (vocals, guitar), Joseph Hahn (turntables), Phoenix (bass), Brad Delson (guitars, bass, some vocals), Rob Bourdon (drums)

My favorite cd is probably Meteora, came out a couple years ago and it is a really cool album. Their debut album was Hybrid Theory which was formally their band name. My fave song is on Hybrid Theory, 'A Place For My Head'. The guitar solo in the beginning is really cool and it sounds really cool when chester screams.

My December is my favorite song, wish they released it in Meteora . . .

The band is good on their cds, but when I saw them in concert, I was kinda disappointed. I expect a band to sound like they do on their cds, and they weren't. How can I sing along when the lead singer changes whatever notes he wants to?

THANK YOU!!!! FINALLLY!!!! Okay, first of all, I thought Reanimation was one of their better albums, although Meteora is one inspirational album. I love Frgt/10 on their Reanimation album as well as Somewhere I Belong on the Meteora album. You guys, I own all their albums as well including the Jay-Z remix disc. I however don't have their singles albums one which contains the original version of My December before the Reanimation mix. You can find the original on a Linkin Park DvD too...

Nice to know of other fans out there. Hope I was of some help too...

I got into it when watching several Music Videoes made from Videogames put to their music. Personally I prefer Pushing Me Away and In the End, and hate the Reanimation CD with a burning passion.

But its good to know I'm not the oonly psycho in this world ;P

I agree with Raerlynn. The Reanimation CD was a huge disappointment for me. I thought it sucked ass. But just about everything else I've heard from them rocked.

So yeah. LP kicks ass... they just need to keep going with new stuff, rather than rehashing their old. Granted, the Jay-Z stuff was pretty cool, but there was an element of "fresh" there that wasn't present in Reanimation at all. Hopefully they've learned from that debacle.

i have all their cd's even a very hard to find cd that has the original my december and high voltage and the song Step Up (very cool song by Mike) i even ahve Live in texas (most kikass) and i ahve the DVD Frat Party at the Pancake Festival, has their original like 4 music videos from Hybrid Theory and the original High Voltage and My December. I even am a member of the fan club and i have a poster of them and their 2005 calender, PLUS i own a cd not released in the US and a couple tribute cds...phew thats a lot. did i mention i had the JZLP album?

i consider myself to be a very diehard hardcore Linkin Park fan (BEST BAND EVER CREATED)

I love most of their album songs, but the Live from Texas DVD is kind of dissapointing to watch. The CD is a good listen, though, if that makes any sense at all. My favorite songs are Lying From You and Faint. A lot of people say Linkin Park sucks, and I think they're crazy. It's extremely good anger-releasing music for when you're really pissed off about something. That, and it's fun to rock out to.

I have to agree with all but the fact you said Reanimation sucked. If you asked me it actually shows a lot of potential. It even revealed a lot of other mixmasters I've never even heard of. The Jay-Z mix cd, eh, I got it but I don't find it any better. No one should ever call Reanimation a "debacle". I found it some of their best work. Meteora itself was best. I have a Hybrid Theory DvD featuring the original My December song UN-remixed and its pretty good. Out of any band, Linkin Park is the best for anything. If you mix a certain song with a certain situation on a game, you find they fit perfectly.
