[@nobleprice6227]

Hey Roach Koach! Long time Roach Rider here, wanted to get your insight on something Serj said in a new interview with Revolver magazine. They asked him best Nu Metal album? Answer: Korn's first album. Just gonna leave that there...

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on the floor laughing ; D ​Love you guys, keep doin' the Lord's work @RoachKoachPodcast

There is no catastrophe. Just some whiney toxic fans who cry about everything.

[@polpottopg]

did you even watch the video theres some shii goin down

[@scottee2hottee]

Yeah catastrophe right. They just released the most successful rock song in years and are selling out arenas in no time

[@alxofficial1541]

Gee I wonder why. Is it cause they used the Linkin Park name? Is it because most LP "fans" nowadays feel guilty about trashing the band and pretty much driving Chester to suicide? Or is it the typical lazy gender swap that is infesting movie remakes and now Music?

[@postl3]

@@alxofficial1541 What an empty comment lol. In no way is the reunion an attempt to be unique with the gender swap it's just that Emily felt like the best choice for the band it took years to make that decision. And actually, it's because a majority of fans aren't chronically online and waste their time hating on their favorite band and simply enjoy the new direction.

[@alxofficial1541]

@@postl3 oh yes let’s ask what she thinks the direction the band should go. You know… the band she’s been in for what a month? It’s the same pop metal bs people were hating on when Chester was around but now since it’s a girl if you don’t like it your sexist and it’s totally not because it’s a lame cash grab. It’s just like static X and zero. Just like Pantera with a washed up Phil and Rex and the good most important half of the band is dead. You go ahead and enjoy it if you want but the people that are upset by this just see it for what it is.

[@postl3]

@@alxofficial1541 No, if you'd actually look into what the band said, it took years to finally make this decision; It's been an insane healing process for all of them but overtime they decided they want to continue as a band. Why? Cause they don't deserve to have their band name damned because of tragedy, and they have full right to continue with that name. They wouldn't decide to do a "cash grab" randomly 7 years later. They wouldn't have sat down as a band after years of hard thinking about the future, write and work on songs for months on end just for a cashgrab. That has never been the Linkin Park way, not then, not now. They all love making music and they all decided they want to come back and do what they love again.

[@alxofficial1541]

@@postl3 stop acting like you know what they want or what they stood for. Every band has the same goal, to sell tickets and have people listen to their music especially a mainstream pop metal band. So far two of the members have bailed ever think it’s cause they don’t like this new direction? They wanna stay “behind the scenes” and get that sweet LP pay check. Yeah they came back after 7 years cause those royalty checks get smaller and smaller the less music you put out and papa Shinoda needs a nice new pair of shoes.

[@jrobertech]

You're fucking high. Emily is great and they're selling tickets like crazy. Don't drink the haterade.

[@Cody2Scoops]

If she’s so great why do they have to tune up all the songs in C# to D? She CANT hit the notes & they shoehorned her in

[@polpottopg]

@@Cody2Scoops this is the brainless audience artists want these days

[@zdenekdolezal9646]

@@Cody2Scoops So? Floor Jansen in Nightwis is magnificent and probably best female singer in this generation. Yet they tuned songs down for her to be more comfortable. Sabaton have the same singer since begining and they are tuning down song for life shows all the time in comparition of how they are on albums. Every singer, better or worst, have difference voice and difference rannge. And different comfort zone. That does not them better or worst singer. Just different.

[@alxofficial1541]

@@jrobertech there are plenty of horrible bands that sell tickets. Ever hear of a little band called Nickleback? How about Creed? Both horrible bands both still sell tickets. There’s nothing wrong with hating a lame cash grab

[@Cody2Scoops]

@@zdenekdolezal9646 3 shit albums in a row. Night wish blows since dark passion play

[@Cody2Scoops]

Saw linkin park in 2003. My first concert. Been a lifelong fan but this choice has soured me on them. Makes me question Shinoda & his judgement. There’s no room for R ape apologists in my playlists.

[@martinksk88]

Imo they should change the name of the band...

[@IlIKRATOSIlI]

Thank you! The smiling and happy dancing from Emily was just weird. Half the band is gone. They should have rebranded like Nirvana and other have.

[@XxSEETH3RxX]

Nope. They shouldn't, Mike created the band and he can do what he wants. Don't like it, don't listen. And packed arenas and a number 1 song on Billboard charts proves you dead wrong.

[@postl3]

Half the band? So just one member? Be real, almost all of them are back so it IS Linkin Park. They're doing this to carry on the iconic name of the band and to honor Chester's life and legacy.

[@martinksk88]

@@XxSEETH3RxX It won't last. Look at Foo Fighter, Dave succed cuz he didn't press to keep Nirvana going and choose a new path. Chrir knows that too. Is veeeeery hard to keep an iconic band going if the main singer and face of the group (like it or not, you say LP you think of Chester)... Also a female into a very heavy band... idk.

[@XxSEETH3RxX]

@martinksk88 Wrong. I don't think of Chester. And I've been around long enough to know many bands have succeeded. Like it or not, it will last and Emily is the long term singer

[@martinksk88]

​@@XxSEETH3RxX i wish them luck. But it wont have the same succes as before. It is a matter of time the initial hype goes away.
