Linkin Park is only popular because of transformers

I read this and I had to post it. My lord.

Linkin Park - "New Divide"

If the comment gets pushed off the page, here's the quote in question:

the only reason linkin park is popular now is because of transformers. other than that...they suck...
move on to another band and stop listening to the same damn song...
seriously... 31 mil + views?
that's just sad. this just shows that this is their only good song and the only reason they ever became popular...

my parents didnt allow me to buy the hybrid theory cd when it came out haha. But i dont really like Linkin Park much past meteora.

I was never a big Linkin Park fan but they were big(imo, bigger than they are now) a couple years ago when I was still in hs.

I used to <3 Linkin Park. I still break out Hybrid Theory and Meteora on occasion.

I think they've just moved fan bases. They were considered rock before, but with their latest songs im gonna have to place them solely in the pop category. If you dont listen to top 40, then you're almost obligated to think they've fallen off completely.

they don't sound anything like they did originally.

I still rock some of their jams from time to time.

I have a live version of high voltage that is just RIDICULOUS.

I been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and big bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chin checkin kids to make my point like an impressionist

For some reason you just mentioning the song put all of that in my head at once.

and i found the mix i was talking about above in video form:

crowd control at the end of this is almost cultish...kinda creepy

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

[Briansol]

Maybe i just havent heard a good version of Step Up. Heard the album version and a few live versions, just cant feel it.

 

[double0Si]

I loved them until minutes to midnight. That album had a few good songs but was nothing like their previous work.

 

[INJEN78]

i listen to LP alot,,i like almost every song..crawling and one step closer are the shit

 

[awptickes]

they put on a killer show. Don't diss until you've seen them perform live. srsly.

 

[reikoshea]

I've been to 4 LP shows (2 HT and 2 Meteora) and the POD/LP show was the worst of them all. POD puts on a crazy good show and pretty well outshined LP on their own tour.

 

[awptickes]

POD, isn't that the jesus loving band that got a taste of rock and roll and stopped loving jesus?

Pretty much yes.
