TEENS.....DEFINITELY KNOW LINKIN PARK?!?! (My 100th Video) | Mike The Music Snob Reacts

Linkin Park's new album.........wow. It certainly is different. The Fine Bros had Teens REACT to their new single and a bunch of hits from their catalog. I certainly have a thing or two to say about that.

R.I.P Chester Bennington, you will truly be missed, you made a huge impact to my life and to music.

Chester bennington dying is a national tragedy like september 11

Al Mac Oh shutup

[@rayszek9416]

Listening to the lyrics of "Heavy" makes you wonder what was going on in Chester's head at this time before his tragic passing. R.I.P Chester

[@frankunodostres473]

except he wrote much deeper and sadder and less cringey lyrics since the first album

[@brpadington]

His thoughts were. How can I sell out even more than I already have? I know I can continue making teen angsty music well into my 40s.

ELDERS REACT TO RAMMSTEIN

[@FutileGrief]

Ok. People need to stop saying that bands from the early 2000s are cringy and embarassing. They're not. Let me remind you that there's a whole generation of metalheads that exist because they were introduced to metal through these so called 'cringy bands', and in an immense degree these are the people who are buying the music and concert tickets to keep metal and rock alive today. The only cringy part is that you were a pre teen or a teen who was overly dramatic and at times ridiculous, but that's ok, we all were, we grow up and change and become someone better. The bands were good, and they still sound good today. I respect all of them and thank them because thanks to them, my life has been defined by the incredibly awesome metal music being played today.

[@BecomeTheKnight]

Fair enough

[@TallicaMan1986]

ThatOnePerson I think it became cringe because the way people dressed in the late 90s and early 2000s which inevitably becomes the image of the band. The bleach blond spiky hair, the weird cargo pants... etc. These bands come from a time where the clothing trends of the year was just weird, in turn that image just stuck with them. There were many bands that are "cringe" Like Static X.

[@caladbolg777]

I do agree with you, but for me the cringe from Linkin Park was that their music did sound all the same. It was brought to my attention very early on and it made a lot of sense. Having said that I’d rather not bash them too much since Chester passed away. They do deserve a ton of criticism for the change but at the same time I give them props for actually changing. I just wish it wasn’t modern day pop.

mike shinoda is the reason to why i don't listen to Linkin Park. I'm not hating, they do deserve a place in the bests, but...rapping in general makes a song cringy. at least for me.

minutes to midnight wasn't a bad album, given up was a great song the 30 second scream was awesome. in a note about Chester he was an amazing singer a one of a kind and will be missed as linkin park where the band that got me into metal.

[@bitchfightme2259]

~17 second scream

[@HeyItsYaGirlJess]

Ok,while I don't disagree with what they say(I'm neutral),Chester has been doing vocals(For multiple bands) for as they said 20 years,over that time he's really damaged his voice,and I think what has happened is that he wants to change what they do so he can preserve his voice because he's 41(almost 42) years old. Voices don't last forever,If you've listened to the last concerts they have done you can tell his voice was badly beaten,and he is the type of guy to not take a break because he always wants to stay productive.

[@BecomeTheKnight]

Makes a lot of sense actually. Opeth did a similar thing.

[@HeyItsYaGirlJess]

Yea listen to the beijing concert from 2015 his voice was barely there

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

That's the reason M. Shadows does vocals for Avenged Sevenfold the way he does, because he strained his vocals chords so hard when he used to do growls in their first album.

[@pwners4u]

you say that but the reason why this album was released a year late is because chester took a year break after the tour and chester has said there is no screaming this album, whether he screams during concerts is another thing as screaming for 1 song isnt the same as recording the same scream 10 times in a row. Their next album may have screams but who knows

[@hello-computer]

The album wasn't released late. They were on tour for the whole of 2014 and 2015 and only started their work on the new album in December of 2015. Chester didn't take a break from anything.

[@GrkOneSix]

One Step Closer was the first step into metal for me. Randomly on TV while my Dad was channel surfing. 8 months later found the Hybrid Theory album in my uncle's huge metal collection and spent the summer getting educated on everything from Maiden to My Dying Bride. RIP Chester. You will be missed.

I'd like to see you do this with linkin park for sure and many other bands as well.

[@jamesedleymusic]

Agreed, although he did claim to have listened to some of their catalog before but he didn’t like it.

[@abtinnassori6148]

I think many people are criticising linkin park because the change was so sudden. I mean look at songs like "war" from the album the hunting party (2014) and that wasn't to long ago

[@Eris_Norregard]

True, but just 2 years before that they made Living Things :D Only their first two albums sounded similar. They are changing their style with every album. Like, they did two nu-metal albums. Then they did calm alternative rock. Then it became atmospheric dark electro rock. Then it became like real electronica. Then suddenly metal happens. And then pop happens.

Growing up with linkin park, I 100% agree with your input. Especially with releasing this new song under a new name. This song overall is not...terrible, but the sound coming from linkin park it's quite, not upsetting, but more confounding. It's not my cup of tea. There's no more of that angst, however with this band there is always passion with their music, something that always draws me in. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on these video, as a broke college student I'll do my best to support you! Videos are great!

R.I.P. Chester. I was 15 when LP came out with Hybrid Theory. Before that I used to listen to bubble gum pop and boy bands so they were actually my generation's first rock/metal band. I love Hybrid, Meteora and Reanimation but HT is the bomb man. Its so close to my heart I can play the whole album in my head from start to finish I don't even need to hear it. Back then we would listen to the entire CD not skipping any track so I still know which songs comes after what, it was like the entire album was one big ass song. Miss you LP, miss you Chazzy Chaz.

[@TheeKyuubiKidd]

I was born in '96, and grew up listening to LP. My school books were covered in their old (not sure if they still use it) logo. My first song was Numb, btw. And honestly, all the hate on their new stuff irks me to no end. They've always been transformative, no pun intended. I dislike that it seems like they sold out, but they have always been amazing. Their music is meant for the kids/adults who had/have nothing (e.g. no friends, nobody that really cared/cares, nobody that understands what it's like to feel like you're​ alone, broken, defeated, etc.) or struggles through issues, both mental and habitual, and I guess growing up and never giving up on them makes me a biased fan, but I digress. They're just metamorphosing. Anyway, I guess this got kind of ranty, I'm just sick of people hating. No offense/hate to you or anyone else who comments, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I'm biased. Anyway, much love. :) \m/

rip chester

[@Simullo]

Hey Mike interesting video, I wouldn't say I agree entirely, but I understand where you're coming from. Keeping within the whole genre changing bands theme, is your opinion the same about Opeth's stylistic change with Heritage as it is with LP?

[@BecomeTheKnight]

Not exactly no. Opeth progressed further towards being a prog rock band as opposed to prog metal and from what I understand that was at least partly to assist with preserving the lead singer's voice. Opeth tried to go "pop" one time with Damnation (which is one of my favs). I don't think this is the same scenario.

[@Simullo]

Become The Knight Become The Knight Is it really that different though? Because Heritage really is a very different album all the previous Opeth records. It's true that Opeth always had clear prog elements, but I would argue that the stylistic change is a lot bigger than that of LP, because Heritage has a lot more new jazz elements that haven't been a part of their sound before. It's true that Damnation was also an album that was more prog rock, but it was still more similar to say the clean parts of Blackwater Park or Still Life. As you said in the video LP had been moving in more of a pop direction with every new release, the new stuff seems to just continue that trend at an accelerated pace. Maybe there's something I missed since I'm not at all into LP, so I could be looking at it from a wrong perspective. (That reply got way too long, sorry for that)

Listen to the interview with Mark Morton from Lamb of God about how he got Chester to sing on Cross Off. Morton mentions that when Chester heard the music it fired him up to do aggressive music again which I think was part of Chester's depression, Linkin Park going soft.

[@jamesedleymusic]

It also could have come down to the fact that One More Light was a much more personal record for Chester. I suppose it hit too close to home this time.

[@dylantrevor3538]

I thought linkin parks newest album sounded like linkin park. They try something new every album, and to be honest, i was expecting their new sound after the hunting party. The new album was great, but it just happened to be a little softer then usual. They tried to change their sound, which people didnt like. I liked it, but it wasnt what they usually are. It seems like they do what they like to do, which i respect. I also feel like one more light was made as a plea for help from chester to the world.

Dude I know you!! I live in Nashville,TN and I'm pretty sure I've chilled with you a couple times in bars and such.

[@colmmcgoldrick87]

You are absolutely right mate. The change in Linkin Park is very similar to the change that Metallica went through in the late 90's. Not everyone likes Metallicas whole musical catalogue (I like everything except St. Anger). But Metallica are regarded as one of the most important bands in metal, because they are one of the few bands in ANY genre to explore their genre. Thrash metal, heavy metal, hard rock, alternative rock to name a few. "This album and what we're doing with it - that, to me, is what Metallica are all about: exploring different things. The minute you stop exploring, then just sit down and fucking die." ~Lars Ulrich describing Load (1996) Don't get me wrong, Metallica's and Linkin Park's old stuff has a special place in my heart, but I didn't criticise them for exploring music.. Even though Linkin Park's new stuff is crap to say it nicely. Sorry for going all Metallica on a Linkin Park video, but I wanted to prove a point, and Metallica was my weapon to prove my point and make it stick :)

[@BecomeTheKnight]

I completely understand your point. And it can be argued that Metallica may have strayed away from their brand when the did Load and Reload (although idk if I'd agree with that). And from what other commenters have been telling me Linkin Park is supposed to be some sort of "genre defying music experiment"? So this is technically supposed to fit into their brand (again, idk if I'd agree with that). I love all of Metallica's stuff except for St. Anger as well, though I have grown to appreciate it more over the years.

[@hbkslazyeye6916]

[@johnzahm193]

[@billuvill]

I thought Linkin came and went in 2000. When Chester passed away I looked them up and was blown away they stuck around for so long.

[@sauravsardar2786]

You sound like a casual fan. What you said about brand is absolutely true. But if you listen to their last album then you wouldn't complain about fat guitar and drums as The Hunting Party features the best of their guitars and drums. But if the next album (the going to be released album) sounds different I don't think they deserve hate. I also don't think that they are using their name to sell their current stuff which you called disingenuous. They changed with age. Somme musicians might be quite okay with changing their style entirely for a project which they have been doing from their album Minutes to Midnight. You might not like it but this is as much Linkin Park as much as the Linkin Park of Hybrid Theory era. I thats what I love about the band. The effortlessness with which they did all these projects throughout the years.

[@charlesa6142]

Cubectecture FINALLY someone with sense in the sea of comments.. i completely agree 100% man. Like with the Hunting Party they actually made it a full rock record. And guess what? It was completely ignored by everyone. But now that they decided to go pop, all of a sudden everybody decides to hate? Where were these kids when the Hunting Party came out?

[@sauravsardar2786]

What saddened me most was that many people who had been asking them return to a heavier sound never supported their last album. And still there are people who dont realise that this band has always been playing with their sound with no two album sounding the same. They dont want to see the production aspect of the current album, they dont want to enjoy Chester's voice, or even the fact that their most personal record after HT and M. Please enjoy the album as it is. Or listen to something you like. Music is supposed to make you happy not fight over.

[@charlesa6142]

Cubectecture EXACTLY. Korn and Slipknot are still out there that I have to admit have done metal type music better than Linkin Park in certain aspects. But yeah when guilty all the same came out none of these complainers supported them and instead said "nah it still doesn't sound like hybrid theory." They might as well have said "where's the guitars?" After listening to that track :/

[@malcolmmorin]

I think the one problem that people are having is solely the sound. It sounds different mainly because of the change in routine. Rather than make the music first and the lyrics next, they did the lyrics first and the music next. While it is interesting how it turned out, I'm hoping they stick with their original routine - music first, lyrics next. The music tends to sound a bit better in ways when it's done first instead.

[@LowerLawns]

1) @13:20 you complain that they're not "musically diverse" now you complain because they're musically diverse 2) They had to fight with Warner To even make the Hybrid Theory album the way it was to begin with. The record label fought to keep Hybrid Theory from existing. 3) On the "got away from metal" comment...there last album had more guitar work on it than any other album..AND theyre all pretty "diverse" from each other on that album. 4) With the idea that they're not genuine anymore...they have been in multiple interviews talking about how they've grown up over the years...they just have a new genuine. 5) There are tons of demos and non album releases from the Hybrid Theory era that 98% of these complainers haven't even heard.

[@jakefoster4841]

Lower Lawns guys what if that pop swich was trying to tell us something about chester? If you pay attention to his lyrics in heavy there is a message there. We had signs there but we ignored them. Instead we were too busy criticizing their style of music.

[@Jen18lol]

I’m all for this dude’s reactions, this my type of humor! XD

[@Vexen-A077]

What does Linkin Park actually supposed to sound like? their first album? Linkin Park never identified themselves as a Nu metal band...ask them what genre they are and they won't give you a answer. just because their first album is way different then what they are now doesn't mean...oh that does sound like Linkin Park..linkin park has been changing so why is this a surprise? I was born when Linkin Park was under construction. Luckily I had a older brother that had Hybrid Theory and I had no way of avoiding it and you can say I literally grew up with L.P. and I have no problem with them changing and always doing different things. I am fan, I have a L.P. tattoo and I don't regret it. I will continue to support them because they can do w.e the fuck they want to do. No one controls them but them selves. They have no strings. for the type of music they are making rn for being "pop" it's not bad it's good. just because it's Linkin Park playing it doesn't mean it's shitty because "That's not Linkin Park"

[@bluesyace9564]

Just Michael but the lyrics style is the same You're just judging by the vocals which is like saying that THEY NEED TO sound like ht

Ace Dragon in an interview before their first album released, they said the name “hybrid theory “ was that for a reason. That they are a rock rap hybrid

Crazy to think Chester passed 5 months after this video was uploaded.

[@TooDicey]

The guys in Linkin Park made Hybrid Theory when their lives were much more "angsty". As they gained fame, money, and fans, their lives became a lot less "troubled". Thus making less angsty music. Music is a way to express your feelings, and if you're not feeling the same angst and frustration, then why would you make that kind of music? Being disingenuous would be to continue putting out albums like Hybrid Theory. Also. Your knowledge of the band is lacking, majorly. You're just like many who have listened to Hybrid Theory a ton, loved it, and hadn't really listened to anything after it, like you even said. Their second album, Meteora, already had poppy undertones. Breaking The Habit is very much a pop driven song. Then, their 3rd album Minutes to Midnight, was completely pop. They had maybe two songs on there that even sounded somewhat like Hybrid Theory. People are misguided when they talk about Linkin Park. They aren't a metal band, they aren't a punk band. They make music that they like, and always have. Just like plenty of people, they're music taste changes at different periods of their lives.

[@alishawright1213]

Mike/Dicey Kogut You...I like you.

[@sleepysera]

I think this comment sums it up pretty well (though I wouldn't say newer music is less "troubled"). They had all that angst and anger that young people have, so that's the music they made. But they grew up, settled down, and their worries and troubles changed. And so did their music. It's obvious in the lyrics, and it would be quite non-genuine if the sound didn't reflect that as well.

[@zwch_]

Very well said. Thank you.

[@depechemoderemas]

Mike/Dicey Kogut, I think you mean that Given Up, Bleed It Out and No More Sorrow sounds like Hybrid Theory!! That's right!

I feel like there new stuff isn't selling out but you sort of see the point in why they would say that because it's just a different era that we are in now I fucking love there old stuff though because it was more roar and dynamic and chesters voice has changed so much over the years probably because he sings in such a way where it's like he's swallowed glass but I love them and r.i.p Chester you fucking rocked and love to everyone there's people to talk to if there's issues in your life xxx

To know how wrong you are, just watch Mike Shinoda reacting to them, I don't care if you record it or not, I just want you to know the band's perspective on that "sudden change"

Also, all the bandmates of Linkin Park haven't changed since Hybrid Theory, none of them left and none of them joined later.

And also... Hybrid Theory, Meteora, Minutes To Midnight, A Thousand Suns, Living Things, The Hunting Party, One More Light = Linkin Park.

Considering that the gfx from the Babylon 5 pilot were rendered on Amigas ... Totally loved the series, it's so sad that Straczyski didn't get his way in the narrative. Season 5 truly felt like an afterthought.

[@BecomeTheKnight]

Season 5 was definitely disappointing......I think it may have been because they didn't know if they were even going to get renewed for the 5th season and he kinda threw everything he could into Season 4. They actually recorded the series finale as the finale for Season 4 because they didn't know if there would be a season 5. Sorry.....I really like this show lol!
