Drummer Reacts to The Emptiness Machine (Official Music Video)

[@ThreeD243]

Her doing Feint live from their New York show is amazing. Also her doing Given Up and going the scream is also amazing.

[@learoth8721]

Also Keys to the Kingdom is amazing.

[@DarkLord-7]

From what I've seen, she can't quite pull off the 17 second scream though.

[@chorito1]

@@DarkLord-7 in the end Chester neither, He didn't do it at all the live shows 😥

[@ThreeD243]

@@DarkLord-7 well Chester didn't always do the full scream either there was times where he had to take a breath and finish it off also.

[@iamshinubi8243]

@@DarkLord-7 bro she is not chester .. of course she can't but she 🔥🔥🔥

[@Sarah83_loves_bass]

The "new and familiar" was the perfect description ❤ I was sold within one second when she started the chorus 🎉 I'm all in for the new LP era 🫶🏻

[@tinalschmidt-banks3415]

I think some people will never give her a chance because they are stuck in the past. Chester was great and no one will ever forget him but this doesn't take anything away from what he has done. His music is all still there. I say if you are true fan you should support the band and what they choose to do not what you wish it would be. That just makes you a snob

[@tbn.z900]

true. real fans will support the band. chester was amazing and yeah its not the same again. but linkin park was not only chester. emily is a great fit. you can't hate on her, shes so good. the new song is fire.

[@kenwilmarth68]

@tinalschmidt-banks3415 Just write and sing new songs LP please. I wished they had changed their name

[@tesla_PNW]

@@kenwilmarth68 dumb. You do realize Chester was not a founding member of the band, and he left sadly and suddenly, leaving behind the wreckage for everyone else to do with. Mike and the original members actually wrote most of the music and lyrics. Chester was an amazing singer, but there is ZERO reason for them to change their name.

[@kevinroy6553]

try their "Heavy is the Crown". Her scream is awesome.

[@JohnDoe-ds6pr]

Emily credits Linkin Park and Chester for inspiring her to sing and start a band of her own from the get go. She can sing most of their songs. So it's only natural that she has developed to sound like Chester. She was destined for this role!

[@chug-chug-pickles]

Not sure if you’ve ever come across Emily’s band ‘Dead Sara’ but like a lot of LP fans I’ve been going through near everything from them and she is a special talent. I think she’s done an incredible job with the old songs, but I’m looking forward to the album and seeing her perform a set with more songs designed for her. Also their new drummer Colin, is crazy talented.

[@Farseli]

Your summarization of what is the sound of Linkin Park perfectly fits how I've been feeling. The things that make Linkin Park, the mix of all those talents and the style and sounds they go for, are why I love them.

[@JsmashTech]

As soon as I saw you cross your arms I was like here we go he’s about to judge hard. Then you loosened up and as soon as she started screaming you were all about it and I loved that. It felt good seeing you enjoy the song and I’m super excited to be here to see where they take this band from here.

[@Maibuwolf]

She sounds like i would expect a linkin park vocalist to sound. Hopefully you watched the live version. She can do the damn thing live too.

[@alessandrodias1535]

Great reaction!!! Can’t wait for your reaction on Heavy is the crown! 😬

[@salanan7793]

It messes with some peoples ears/head because it "Sounds" like Linkin Park, but its a woman's voice instead of Chester, but it sounds like Linkin Park and she Fits soo well. Funny story about this song is Mike wrote it and made a full demo of just him singing the whole thing..and brought it to the guys to mess with..then emily joined the "Get togethers" and they had her sing the second verse and the song just came alive. at least thats what Mike said in an interview. So the song was written and arranged pretty much without her input..its where she kinda joined the band..the rest of the album is gonna be stuff written and arranged with her input so how crazy is the album going to be.

[@6reyscale]

@@salanan7793 it doesnt sound like linkin park. it IS linkin park 🤝🏼

[@jean-yvesdepecker9837]

Less pain, more rage, a new LP era !

[@ReductioAdAbsurdum]

Emily is an amazing musician in her own right. Doing this Linkin Park thing is actually a _narrow_ use of her vocal capabilities, compared to what she did in Dead Sara. If Emily gets lost in all of this, because she's trying so hard to conform to the expectations of Chester fans, it would make this song especially poignant: "Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be." Online haters are the real emptiness machine.

[@Maibuwolf]

Im hoping with her onboard this new LP album will be heavier than any of their other albums.

[@1m3agle]

@@Maibuwolf hopefully, if the rumor mill is to be believed we get “heavy is the crown” on the 24th

[@crosshairprofessional]

Emily was heavily influenced by Chesters vocals from Hybrid Theory, its why she wanted to be a singer in a band.

[@isabellelola517]

You should really watch them live! She gets better each time! In the livestream on the 5th of September she was very nervous and Mike said she couldnt hold tears a few times, she was very emotional. She was good but not as good as she is now after a few concerts. I love her voice, she fits so well and Mike is so happy on stage, he didnt smile that way the last 7 years, its beautiful to watch them doing their thing again.♥

[@salanan7793]

Just seeing them standing shoulder to shoulder during Papercut and the smile on Mikes face brings a tear to my eyes every time.

[@Kuonot]

@@isabellelola517 her performance in Seoul was phenomenal 🔥 I really liked her singing Numb and Friendly Fire especially.

[@yjovian]

already pullin me in

[@jo_g.germany]

Let the haters hate. All that needs to be said and understood is that this is a new beginning. The album is called From Zero for a reason. This song is fire and that's the reason it is the first #1 single LP has had in Germany. Personally, I hope for a heavier LP with Emily 🤘🏻

[@johnmichaelferrer4659]

the other song HEAVY IS THE CROWN.. is a BANGER dude 😎😎

[@chillaxusmaximus]

Great reaction. It feels so damn good to be back, LP fam!

[@Denovis]

She is great, i just hope people won't make her quit...

[@tesla_PNW]

While there are some vocal dolts spewing hate, the positive to negative comments are more than 100 to 1, so overwhelmingly positive posts and videos.

[@mick9197]

If she stays off social media then she won't even see it because these people just sit behind a keyboard sipping a bottle of hatorade. The real fans at the shows will keep her going. It must be a dream for her man, I watched a dead sara show from 2022 and it's like such a crazy shot to stardom. She's amazing

[@brionsohn2705]

The one thing I liken this song to after many listens is a roller coaster.. It Scares you at first, Brings you in, Builds you up, Drops you down, and then just takes you for an adrenaline fueled ride....

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

These lyrics are insane and probably mean so many things to so many people. At it's surface "Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive" feel like Emily saying "I gave up my past to become Chester's replacement", but she knows that she can't replace Chester because nobody can, and that not everyone will accept this. The line "I only wanted to be part of something" makes me think that this is both Mike and Emily speaking their mind. Mike just wants to continue the legacy of Linkin Park, but he understands how hard it is without Chester. Emily wants to be part of the tribute to Chester that Linkin Park has become. The Emptiness Machine is the feeling we all have when we give up everything to be part of that something, but our hard work, love, tears, blood and sweat goes unappreciated because we aren't what the people want. This song is literally the evolution of their first hit single... ... because to quote Chester "We tried so hard, and got so far, but In the end, it doesn't even matter"

[@elvirakharunova1589]

Great reaction! Thank you so much!

[@tomistenlund9727]

I Know the part you are talking about... I just cannot stop repeating it all over again. It is addictive. I mean what effing good is going on... Greetings from Finland.

[@jo38960]

I have hopes Mike definitely had her develop her sound and voice through the album. She definitely has her style, but it fits the LP sound we love. She may miss a bit on the old songs, but its a cover. She still delivered during the LA show on the catalyst. The hyyype is reaaaal!!!

[@darngj]

I missed LP so much so I’m so happy that they’ve returned! I’m very excited as well that they chose a woman in lead vocals! I love Emily’s voice and her energy ❤ Welcome back LP and welcome Emily ! Love u guys !! Come to Portugal 🇵🇹 please! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@bloodknyte]

You should check out some of Nightwish's new stuff, their album Yesterwynde just dropped today, and Kai Hahto absolutely kills it on the drums again

[@ezequielrivera9573]

Creo que ella no está reemplazando a nadie, no comprendo el hate, es una gran cantante y es una gran adición al equipo, Chester ya no está, y no es como si lo hubieran despedido o quitado para ponerla a ella, la tarea de Emily no es opacarlo o hacerlo desaparecer, no creo que otro cantante pueda hacerlo, ella simplemente esta ayudando a mantener el estilo y la escencia que la banda tenía en su creación, con Meteora e Hybrid Theory, ademas... si hubieran elegido un vocalista hombre las comparaciones serían aún peores... Por favor respeten, ya pasaron 7 años, el no va a regresar, y hay quienes queremos más de esta banda , a veces parece que más que fans de Linkin Park son Fans de Chester a muerte

[@allcaster]

Emily is taking all the attention. Nobody is talking about the new drummer

[@Dea_1438]

Could you react to Heavy Is The Crown plz?

[@lumpparrot]

Unrelated to the video kinda but I LOVE the Core Drill tattoo man! love to see another TTGL fan in the wild. 😎I think Emily is a great step forward.

[@1m3agle]

Earned a new sub for your emotiveness (is that a word?) and the disclaimer at the start pointing people to the original

[@SYBEX21]

Watch the live preformance, it showes her range and how a live audience reacts to thier return.

[@chewtoy1107]

heavy is the crown is even better imo, def gotta do

Great video man. Discovered you a few nights ago from your drumeo reactions. Subscribed 😊

[@boristheblade4833]

Awesome reaction/ breakdown, dude…! 😊

[@cortniek89]

Fave reaction so far!!!

[@yjovian]

i'm waitin in the distance

[@DoctorTako]

I think people are being too critical. The music is great and that’s all that matters. Like it sucks that Chester is gone and he was insanely talented and could never be replaced, but it feels like fans are holding the rest of the band hostage with Chester’s memory.

[@bloodknyte]

People aren't being too critical though, with her being a scientologist, her thoughts on mental health are nearly antithetical to Chester's. She absolutely fits the band's sounds, but i'm not convinced yet that she fits the band's legacy (yet, I definitely won't write her off completely yet, but she has some ground to make up imo)

[@tinalschmidt-banks3415]

​@@bloodknyteactually you really don't know her circumstances and are just being judgemental and totally abusive which goes against what Chester believed in

[@PhyxiusGaming]

@@bloodknyte She was born into the cult, but is not part of it anymore. She´s openly gay and supports people with mental health issues, because she struggles with them herself. Both a big No-No in the cult. Be critical, but please make your research. Thank you!

[@jodale1972]

There is a big difference in being critical and being an A$$hole. People should be ashamed of themselves the way they have treated her.

[@bloodknyte]

@@tinalschmidt-banks3415 guess you didn't actually finish reading my comment.

[@Remsterdam]

Great reaction and totally agree. But as a drummer was it not a missed chance to comment on the new drummer? 😄 I like how the drums come out in the mix, from dark in the background to clear and smashing.

[@922optimum]

It's different, But it's still Linkin Park's sound. And I'm here for it all.

[@wesdoobner7521]

Chester was great but it's not like he was the single greatest singer the world has ever seen, There might be someone as good or better. Perhaps someone named Emily.

[@JayrosModShop]

When Joe Hahn performs live, it would be soooooo hilarious if he came out wearing a labcoat and a cowboy hat, and plays keyboard for a song. (IYK, YK.)

[@neikenlody2933]

yeaah

[@Николай-м5ь4ш]

Absolutely Chester's chorus, i like it

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

Sorry but it made me laugh how you said it sounds like Linkin Park still. Well, yeah, It's Linkin Park. So many people get irritated because they continued without Chester. Saying shit like, it's not real Linkin Park. But Linkin Park was a 6 piece band. And 4/6 are still here today and still writing this music. Of course it still sounds like Linkin Park. It is Linkin Park. Not throwing shade at you. But you just echoed what a lot of people have been saying about how it isn't real Linkin Park and yet it sounds so much like Linkin Park because it is still very much Linkin Park. It's not like it's Just Mike on his own with a whole new band.

[@coversandcommentary]

Oh, I totally agree! I was saying that more as a way of saying that it doesn’t feel like they’ve missed a beat (no pun intended).

[@CoL_Drake]

as a drummer i expected more focus on the ... well new drummer they have xD

[@yjovian]

what is goin on

[@yjovian]

to be...

[@IowaRocker81]

I’ll be honest, they just reused the chorus melody from Final Masquerade. After seven years, I expected more from Mr Shinoda.

[@monochrome72]

Is it me or is she briefly turning into chester at the very end.. When there's a twisting turn of pixels around her face?
