Firstly, mike was talking a load of rubbish that most likely came up with just so that he could boast about owning and playing a bass guitar. Secondly i was not saying that they are as good as all t'other legends, probably not even close but that is not what i was saying, i dont care whether they have stumbled on it by accident or have carefully developed the idea in their minds but their music is just amazingly likable. Their style is unique and although their are some things similar to it they are notably different in some ways as well. I just think they will be remembered because they became so instantly popular and there was a reason for it, i can fixate m yself on any one band and ignore everything else completely, but then if i hear linkin park i cant help but appreciate it no matter what. I would also like to point out that a lot of the people arguing here dont know really much at all about linkin park. i can acept that paul, louise 'n dave know their stuff but the others are basically just offering their opinion and a few insults anything backing it up and louise is staying reasonably neutral, other than the "find a band thats doing something new, fresh, unique" comment. they are but they are just being reproduced by other bands at an incredible rate. The only reason people such as aaron think they are winning is because there happens to be a large amount of linkin park haters on this website, that changes nothing. Dave, i am impressed with your song writing skills but damn, you must almost have as much free time as me. damn indeed.
Now i have to go to assembly, but i shall have more rubbish to spout later!!!!

pfft, clearly i was in a reasonable, neutral kind of mood last night.
I actually hate Linkin Park. Well, that would be giving them too much credit because saying I hate them would imply I waste precious energy on them.
I try to be open minded, etc. with regards to music, but it doesn't mean I understand why people like Linkin Park. I, personally, like music that's more sophisticated and not necessarily aimed at the hormonal, angry, depressed teen culture. When I hear the screeching of the person they like to call 'vocalist' over the radio or TV, my instant reaction is to simply turn it over. A good band will catch your attention and make you listen to them, whereas with Linkin Park it's more of a 'Jesus Christ, why have they not stopped making 'music' yet?' theme.
And Andy, I don't really know what I'm talking about. I just read NME alot. NME are whores </random>. But I'm flattered you think I do 'know my stuff'.
I still don't think Linkin Park are new or unique, they just happen to stand out because they got lucky with a couple of songs and so it sets them apart from the rest of the nu-metal crap. But its not because they're actually good. Some kids just picked up on them on MTV one day and thought 'these guys have guitars and scream in a grating manner, they're cool'. And then they had to argue with their mothers about the Parental Advisory label for a fortnight before convincing them to buy it.

so i am just some kid who picked it up on mtv and thought it was cool? no, i understand their music and the themes behing the songs and i think its harsh insulting whole genres of music (except dance)...(which doesn't deserve to be a genre at all) if linkin park and all the other stuff i listen to is "nu metal" then i love and understand nu metal. and the vocalist is good, it sounds good and people like it, especially people who do understand it. you listen to some odd vocalists as well but i do accept them. i will even accept that some very angry people understand slipknot.
i dont really think they are crap, just not as amazing as everyone thinks, and just because i think that it doesn't mean that i dont think they will be legends. they are pretty much legends already really.

no, did i say it was you? i meant that's how they got where they are in the first place.
ok, i see your point about my wierd vocalists, but at least their voices aren't grating along the bottom of a bucket of gravel. But I'll shut up now, I'm see I'm pissing people off, i.e. andy.
But i agree with you about the Chillis. I don't dislike them, but I don't like them either. I don't really see what the fuss is about.
I also agree with you about dance.
But I didn't insult a whole genre did I?

first of all I didn't write that song, its written by another band who hate linkin park (just like they should)
The Chillis are legends already, they've made some of the best music we've heard in the past couple of decades. Whereas Linkin Park have made the same song over and over again
I love slipknot, they have a chance to become legends. When they came out they were trully revolutionary, they were like the heaviest band EVER. I like slipknot, especially their new album and Im not angry!!
andy you seem to have made some typos, let me point out that theres only one theme and only one song
errr nope, mike speaks the truth! TESTIFY!
Im not saying to find a band thats fresh and unique, just one that plays at least 2 different songs
its the damn truth, you dont say bad things about REM and get away with it.
its a shame you dont though otherwise you might like some good bands.....like the chillis
no but I did, nu metal suketh! except perhaps lost prophets, theyre ok, but then theyre not a typical nu-metal band with a typical set up and typical songs about anger and pain etc
linkin park are poo

now all your going on about is the one song thing because you know all the rest is crap. and the only reason you can keep going on about that is that its a matter of opinion and understanding. and aaron, your new to their music and the only reason your half siding with dave is that you hated linkin park before you gave them a chance, then gave them a chance and liked them you just dont want to completely contradict yourself so your retaining some of your old opinions.
And although she didn't actually post on this thread, she still made comments ad i am trusting louise will pass this on: Shutup lauren or i'll beat you with my still-rolled-up dragon poster (i cant find bluetack damnit!)

As I cannot think of a suitably witty and incredibly genius response to that:
SOCK YOU ANDY! YOU SOCKING OWL!
I do not fear you or your poster.
Linkin Park are even worse than Audioslave.

You spelt indie wrong! You socker!
And don't you critise emo bands, Adam Lazarra has more talent in his little toenail than anyone in Audioslave could ever even dream of.
And don't you go critising whole genres, you hypocrite. This is real music we're discussing, not any of that dance rubbish.

since when does indie have a y in it?
and i think you'll find bands such as The White Stripes, and 22-20's, and Razorlight, and The Strokes, and The Killers, and The Dead 60s, Delays are a hell of alot more sophisticated than your crap.
You know what? THIS MEANS WAR!
