The real purpose of why she was there, well, we'll each believe what we want to, I suppose, but I'd recommend doing some reading on intimidatory tactics used by Scientology, just so know fully understand what you're readily dismissing as "trash". Maybe I should have been clearer I meant the trash she did more than just turn up, she didn’t speak in his defense and there’s no actual proof other than an old photo about the Scientology stuff google it and find something that’s actually a factual thing not something made by an angered fan in last few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have started this thread looking for a fight by drawing attention to the issue in your first post and then overreacting when people pretty much expand on your first post. Why don’t you stick to writing about the music? I’m honestly not coming for hate, or to start fights as I said it’s gone toxic and to think linkin parks team knew nothing is stupid but Emily will have explained herself to the band I’m sure it’s not over reacting all I’ve seen today is people saying she’s friends with a rapist which isn’t true.

Kev Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Wow, this thread jumped straight in with the toxic. Gotta love the internet, and it's not even just young people it seems. Ugh. But, to briefly touch on that, I am sure the business Linkin Park have explored this to death and are satisfied with the outcome, it would be naive for anyone to think otherwise. On to the music, i'm mixed on her. I really didn't enjoy her performance of the early stuff, and asking the crowd to sing when she was obv struggling was an interesting move. But I really like her voice when she isn't trying to imitate Chester, and the new single is ace. Excited to hear the album! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexBuccaneer Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I suspect that had they employed a male vocalist there’d be a lot less hate floating around. The so-called inclusive metal community isn’t actually that inclusive - it’s full of gatekeepers 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The so-called inclusive metal community isn’t actually that inclusive - it’s full of gatekeepers Actually disagree quite strongly with that. I think if Chester was replaced with another male, he would have almost zero chance of ever being accepted. She feels like more of a new singer than a replacement, I don't think a male could pull that off unless he had a totally different singing style. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanydc Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 So it's only half the band if Ive read it right. 3/6 original members in the band. The OG drummers parted ways and the OG guitarist isn't touring or doing live stuff is that right? Was excited to hear the new stuff. Could be a grower but I'm not overly keen from the live come back gig. Could possibly be bad sound or something but wasn't great. Says me, 36 and unable to play a full song without mistakes 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I’ve seen in n socials said they should have got the guy from the tribute act (Hybrid Theory?) because he can replicate Chester. I think they’ve found a sound replacement. They’re not trying to replace Chester, they’re starting a new era. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I like the new song, works well in an old Kerang way, maybe a bit generic, but very catchy. Didn't particularly get wowed by the performance I saw, but the sound wasn't great and maybe they need a tour to get gel together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I have no concept of Linkin Park, apart from the fabulous stuff they did with JZ. Mrs Rayman on the other hand is/was a massive fan, and she is far from happy with the new singer. That’s about all I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, part of the magic of LP - certainly early LP - was the way the two voices sat together, and the single suggest that rule hasn't been broken, almost feels/sounds like she was always the singer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
