So what? 

So just to please you she needs to shout. About it ? My gran was a Christian do I need to tell my friends I’m not? Religion is a private matter she clearly isn’t one but was born into that situation.

Because she still hasn't come out and denounced the cult that is Scientology - that's why. 

If you know that it’s not that simple, given what they do to the families who leave

A lot of the wazacraft stuff have an option mode - what do you think it would be on an OC2 reissue? 

honestly the OC5 sounds so close........you really wont notice in a mix, but i know feel wise there probs will be a difference, so im not sure what they could do to the Oc2 with out changing it to be more to a OC5

To be fair, Billy Sheehan didn't replace someone who committed suicide following mental illness, which is a big factor here, given scientologist beliefs.  Which is why Im sure they would have made ABSOLUTELY sure she wasn't part of that cult.

I get that but as has been said online if not her, Emily is openly gay and discusses mental heath in a lot of the Dead Sara stuff……..also from what I can see online is her parents are but she’s not said anything more….

clearly doesn’t align with there values so I don’t really see why fans are pushing it tbh 

The LA show sounded great from the Youtube videos ive seen, she getting more comfortable and the crowds at the show are on board

theres gonna be people who arent fans and that cool but the whole its chesters band thing is becoming almost a comedy post on videos at this point, along with the Emily cant sing ones, as its the dumbest comment to say that she can clearly sing very well! in time no one will care shes singing early LP a bit differently, shes not desrepecting anything by singing it in a higher key.

looking foward to seeing the pics of the big arena show, hopefully jamie bennigtion doesnt try to do anything silly

Either way, supporting a convicted rapist isn't a good look:

ok so I don’t want again this thread to dissolve in to this 

but this is a badly titled click bait article, she was friends with him but not when he was convicted she clears this up with the quote they put way down the post, she attended one date, realised her friend hadn’t told the whole truth and ended there friendship

shes guilty of nothing more than showing faith in a friend……..he again is the problem. 
 

The people who bring this up to tear her down weren’t to keen when she was in dead Sara and they could get the money from making YouTube videos about it. 
 

and again to think Linkin Park don’t know this and aren’t aware is impossible they are obviously happy with Emily and know this will blow over 

will Dave grohl get the cancel treatment……I doubt it 

great piece of gear and so easy to program and use

It saddens me a little to be honest, as there's certain points in that song where my mind suddenly flicks to Chester singing it  Hybrid Theory and LP was a big part of my teen years and his death really hit me harder than expected.

 

But the fact it makes me feel that way means she absolutely fits, so I really am looking forward to the new stuff.  I think they've just really got to think about what old stuff they should include in the live sets going forward, as they need a lot of work for me and i'm not sure it'll ever really work well enough.

the show was the first time seeing someone other than maybe youtube covers sing LP stuff so i get you it was weird, i do just think its an adjustment to hearing a different vocal which will be fine in time probs by the end of the tour tbh im guessing (these annouced shows btw)

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

this is why im actually really excited by the new album, just from the harmonies they were doing they obviously work well together which as you say was always a good thing

Which is one reason why I think hiring a female singer is a good thing in principle 👍

i genuinely even if a good fit a male vocal wouldnt have been right, it would either be a weird not as good copy cat, which would have been very limiting sound wise for them. Emily adds something different which is obviously what they wanted.

ok so i finished the cover early!

its so fun to play! and is proper in my head!!

We can have both, nothing they do now will undermine Hybrid Theory for me 

This is 100% the music they make going forward doesn’t lessen the legacy at all

There you go again, is commenting on a bands musical direction really hate? 

Its the language used it happened when Chester was still around, minutes to midnight was acused of not being linkin park 

1 hour ago, Beedster said:

BTW the post you responded to was not hate by a long stretch. 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.

I guess they realised they were missing out on all that early-2000s nostalgia money that’s flying around at the minute.

Linkin park before the announcement have 40m monthly listeners on Spotify…….double the foos they aren’t doing this for the money

She did attend. That's the point. She says it in her statement. 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

I like Linkin Park a lot but having listened to a few songs now with Emily, I'm afraid I'm not convinced. She seems to have a decent voice but when she goes screamy, it goes flat and very unmusical to the point of sounding fake or forced. I'm on the fence on whether they should have just started a new band with Emily or not bothered to reform. I'm more leaning towards just starting a new band with Emily and taking away any association with Linkin Park but throwing in the odd version of a song.

But why should they have to……they obviously feel that this is right and it’s not up to fans to feel they have a say honesty

as for her singing I think there was some moments she pushed to hard, and I’m 100% putting that down to the occasion, she’s obviously tried to give it 110% when she didn’t need to, she sounds great on record and I also feel the tour you’ll get another few tracks from the album 

the next level of hate is gonna be when LP aren’t hybrid theory heavy

Of all the people they could have chosen….. 😕

You think the guy from sum 41 was a better choice……..

the girl from stand Atlantic would have been cool, but Emily has better clean singing I do think in the live show she push the dirt a bit to hard maybe feeling she had to lean into it more due to the occasion and wanting to impress, it’s her first show and reveal her versions of in the end and and what I’ve done and lost tbh were fantastic!

It's one side of the story. The other, to save people googling

 

https://blabbermouth.net/news/linkin-parks-emily-armstrong-responds-to-danny-masterson-support-claims-i-misjudged-him

 

And for anyone wondering why she was asked to attend, attempts to intimidate witnesses, prosecutors and anyone else who conspires against them in cases against Scientologists are not rare.

 

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-04/church-of-scientology-danny-masterson-prosecutor-harassment-allegations

But she didn’t attend…….or harass, I’ll believe her over a bitter old man, also do you think Linkin park won’t have known and also obviously know this is complete trash……

I always liked the band and I wasn't sure if they could continue without Chester but the new single is terrific, I like Emily's voice and it fits the LP sound, I hope they have continued success, back with a bang !!  

 

John 😎 

Same and the long interview they released clears up a lot of question I had tbh

if wasn’t a sudden thing they made sure it was right, yes on the live show there were vocal slips not helped by the awful mix where she was so loud. However Chester wasn’t always perfect either ppl just forget this and put him in an untouchable place. 
 

looking forward to the new album

Thanks this explains everything pp are complaining about, she clearly isn’t a supporter is she

The one where the new singer supported a celebrity rapist because he was a scientolobuddy? Yeah, that's a messy start.

 

Always found their self-pitying misery-porn lyrics unbearable and the new one is no exception.

Woah the hate showed up early 

I’m a big fan, and I’m a big fan of the new line up looking forward to the album 

it made me start working on a cover of the latest single 

yes there will be hate and some very wrong X and Reddit stories that are spreading around but that’s social media for you I for one don’t any to let’s trolls win
