Opinions about Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@BisscuteReacts]

There are a lot of requests for me to react to their live , and I have to admit you guys made me super curious!! So I might do a video on that ! Keep you all updated

[@Helion_Prime]

There's a video on their channel in which they tell the story of all all this came to be. I must say, you're looking at this the way you should. No one can replace Chester, but at the end of the day, no one should. Linkin Park has always been about diversity. On one of their albums they even brought various artists to achieve that. And throughout their career, there have been songs in which there was only Mike. And people weren't complaining back then. Thank you for reacting to this, and I truly wish for you to get the chance to see them live, like I did back in 2012 in Bucharest.

[@diviengii]

You must. Watch it.

[@paulsmith2516]

Biss, first allow me to say my comment here is not meant to criticise you in any way. I simply need to pass on some very vital and SERIOUS information about the new singer you probably have no clue about. This woman ( I will NOT use her name) is a member of the family destroying human trafficking cult Scientology. That cult believes that mental health problems DO NOT EXIST and that even ATTEMPTING to seek treatment is totally EVIL. I feel like I KNOW how Chester would have reacted to that. This is reason enough for her to be nowhere near LP but isn't actually even CLOSE to the worst problem. She is also a close personal friend of convicted multiple r*pist Danny Masterson and even showed up in court to support him. She is also KNOWN to have put in considerable time and effort into harassing and attacking Danny's victims to prevent them reporting Danny's crimes to the authorities, and once that failed stepped up the intensity of her attacks on Danny's behalf, including being part of a mob who SURROUNDED AND ABUSED ONE OF THOSE VICTIMS IN THE COURTHOUSE ITSELF! How exactly do you think child S.A. survivor Chester would have responded to that. I'm really really sorry if I am hurting you by telling you this but there is NO WAY I could let this pass without passing on what I know. Please don't just believe me, do your own googling, and I would definitely recommend having a look at the Growing Up In Scientology YT channel which has several vids on this, from a lovely guy and EX Scientologist A-Aron who actually knows some of Danny's victims including the victim this BINT attacked in the court. Again so sorry to dump this on you but I hope you can at least appreciate why I did. Peace and love from a big fan here in Bonnie Scotland ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤

[@MrMistreated]

Biss you MUST WATCH the live version of this

[@TheAnonJohn]

They also have a new drummer, but everyone forgets about him 😢

[@IINS519]

I was listening to the live stream they had, I could tell that the drumming and the guitar were not quite right. When I looked I noticed they were different people, I was afraid both Brad and Rob were out, but I'm glad at least Brad is still with them. Best of luck to Rob in whatever he's doing though.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

because most random fans dont know anyone except chester and mike, rest are "those other guys", its problem with most bands, lead singer is always face and sometimes songwritter/composer is praised too, rest are replacable

[@senbonzakurakageyoshi662]

True, but everyone forget drummers sadly

[@mileslucem4552]

Love the new drummer and Emily!

[@vizard01]

That's one of the reasons I think they chose Emily, someone "so different" from Chester. Obviously people don't forget Chester, but it's more a question of respect, of not replacing him with "a generic singer who imitates him"

[@mccardelz]

She's not Chester, but her voice does hit some of the Chester receptors in my brain.

[@MartinXBrina]

Her name is Emily Armstrong. She's a frontwoman of her band named Dead Sara before joining Linkin Park.

[@xSagash]

Yes. She also really likes Nirvana, and there is a cover on her band's channel of the song "Heart-Shaped Box", which is very good. It seems to me that she brought a little Kurt's style to this song too, the faces and mouths and everything.

[@sadiporter2966]

she is also a scientologist.

[@MartinXBrina]

@@sadiporter2966 and she actually left the cult afterwards

[@xSagash]

@@sadiporter2966 Even if she still is (which I doubt, since she explained this controversy in her story, and said she changes past opinions and people), it doesn't matter.

[@tomaspernes9681]

Few days later, i have this song on repeat and feeling like im listening to meteora for the first time. Certified banger 🎉!

[@Logan-ed4pu]

I am supportive of them coming back. No, there will never be a replacing of Chester. Chester wasn't kicked out of the band to bring her in, he left us. It sucks, and it hurts, but it's true. They found someone who fits the band's style, and they are just moving on with a new chapter in the band's legacy. I enjoyed the song, and I think she's a great fit. I would love to see them live again, but I know ticketmaster is going to price gouge tickets into oblivion.

Dude dead life goes on here come LP

I'm just excited for the renaissance that rock seems to be having lately. After stagnating for well over a decade now we've got old bands coming back, new bands breaking through, and a lot of killer new music.

[@thinkingoutloud3757]

Dude thank you for mentioning this. It was so bizarre. Rock was having a real good time in mainstream light from the mid-90's through maybe around 2010-ish and then in a few years it just fell off the map. It was so weird and felt really sudden.

You'd have to be kinda stupid to think that none of the guys or wme had a discussion with emily and her beliefs before inviting her to join the band. That and she is an open lesbian which the church hates, was born into the church and she hasnt been seen at a church gala since 2013 people can and do change in 11 years. Though if you go deeper into the lyrics mikes verse is talking about people with certain points of view keeping their distance ready to stick their claws in (possibly toxic fans) emily's is about a fire under the alter she keeps on lying to (possibly the church)

[@Tsuroerusu]

Quite right! The thing about great artists like Chester Bennington is they tend to respect and admire other artists because they know all the hard work that goes into being an artist, as opposed to all the keyboard haters.

[@markcrisp8101]

That acceptance disappeared as soon as Emily opened her mouth. Truly awesome

[@gcarap]

You mean either "lack of acceptance" OR "acceptance was confirmed". Acceptance disappeared is a negative. 🙂

[@zbennalley]

I was at the Live In Texas live taping and Linkin Park is my favorite band. It's been 7 years since Chester passed, but I believe they found the right singer. She's coming in replacing one of the most irreplaceable singers of all time. I'm sad Rob isn't playing drums, but he did have a back injury last tour, and it sucks that Brad isn't touring with them, but I fully get there's so many emotions. If it's hard for the fans, just imagine how difficult it is for the band. Let's give her grace and time it's something Chester would want.

[@scottfield5849]

LP knows better than anyone that Chester is irreplaceable, so did their best to find someone who could at least honor him. That said, I watched the streaming show, and I'm immediately a big fan of Emily. Rock on, Biss! 🤘😎👍

I am like you where LP is my ultimate favorite band of all time! I know they would get backlash due to having a replacement and yet of course others who will pull the “Why a woman?!” To that I say, yes LP will always be great and I understand where they’re coming from but for me I would have liked them to kept LP and create a new band. But I understand that the band wants to keep the legacy going and I respect it. For a band they tend to change their sounds and Mike has said it’s not as inspiring as to do the same sound everytime. So for and as musicians, changing the sounds and music helps them. I will still listen to them and I will be excited for them as a band. Also, to see Rob not the drummer anymore also adds more salt to the wounds. I wish Rob the best and I wish the band the best and success to come with the new direction and I will still be a fan and continue to listen to them!

I noticed that, too- Mike’s voice intensified but then the whole song pulled back. Original. Choosing a new lead vocalist is very precarious for any band. Backlash may be nearly inevitable, but I try to be open-minded. If the surviving members are still productive then let them con’t to creative. I found her aggressive screams very convincing.

[@JesseCohen]

This track was a good first step. Having watched the live debut, man what a thing to try and attempt. It’s hard to fathom for an average Joe like myself. Emotions running high and hard, then to try to pull off some of the classic vocal lines. This was the opener, the rest was previous material. You could tell at a couple points where she got winded, over produced, or just needed a moment to collect her instrument. She did great overall. She’s got phenomenal potential collaborating with this group, and the early signs are very good indeed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Side thought. The new LP logo is pretty fuzzy in appearance, far removed from the well defined lines and angles of previous versions. Before the concert, it didn’t make sense. Afterward, and that Zane interview, it did. I think Mike and the guys agreed to channel all their uncertainty and doubts and fears into that logo, while they took the leap to try and get back to the life they loved. They didn’t want to rebrand, but they knew this was going to require a huge perception shift. Paired with the new album title, “From Zero” (a nod to the bands name before it bake Linkin Park), it speaks to reiterating themselves again, almost from the ground up. Very smart.

Emily Armstrong & there's a new drummer too

[@carbon1479]

IMHO bands tend to do best when they focus the music around the singer and with her I think they'll definitely want to do something different, I'm thinking more Perfect Circle or Deftones but perhaps in a different kind of way (it would be too easy to treat her like Stevie Nicks or like a female Weiland in a new Velvet Revolver so they pick up a Fleetwood Mac twang at all they'd probably want to counter-sink it with something else - like APC or Deftones). In some small ways as well she reminds me a bit of Alia Fresco who DBridge, Loxy, and Kid Drama were working with a few years back but she's also drawing on something similar for influence and it was really cool to see how Loxy, DBridge, and Kid Drama flipped a Stevie Nicks vocal style in the gritty EDM context.

[@carbon1479]

Speaking of Alia Fresco - I wonder what it would sound like if Linkin Park did a cover of UR A Star by DBridge or pulled their own version of the same principles. It's a slow tune but it's got that 'Opening scenes of a serial killer mystery' vibe.

Bisscute you absolutely nailed it ✊ everything you said, you get it. Not really sure anything needs to be explained haha you pretty much got it. Emily's not a replacement, she's going to do her own thing. She's unfortunately getting backlash, that's sadly not unexpected, but I think they'll be fine down the road. Alice in Chains went through the same thing when they announced a new singer ( William Duvall ), their albums have been amazing though, and like Emily, William does his own thing and it still FEELS like Alice in Chains. Emily's involvement still FEELS like Linkin Park. Layne Staley and Chester Bennington can never be replaced, and the new singers have never tried to replace them. As bands, they need to evolve and move on, which they have. The people really angry will eventually get over it. It seems like the majority "get it", and the ones saying it's a sellout or "not Linkin Park" are a vocal minority.

[@albertomagana6577]

Hello Bisscute, at the outset I want to say that it seemed very strange to me that you have not reacted to the live version, it is more emotional. On the other hand, it seems to me to be a very intelligent move by Linkin Park to have chosen a female voice as a vocalist, since if it had been a man the comparisons with Chester Bennington would never end, and for me the best thing is to start from scratch. Emily Armstrong is an American singer and songwriter, lead vocalist of the alternative rock band Dead Sara. As you could see, Emili has a powerful and harsh voice, capable of going from soft melodies to heartbreaking screams. I think Armstrong brings a new dynamic to the band's sound, fusing his intense and emotional style with the alternative and electronic approach characteristic of Linkin Park in their new era. I liked The Emptiness Machine, because it explores deep themes of identity, pain and betrayal, and the sounds and instruments combine very well, to create an intense and dynamic atmosphere, characteristic of the new era of Linkin Park. Greetings and a hug from Mexico City.

[@jedi666sith]

The thing that I appreciate the most is your honesty Biss! Now, talking about the song, I think Emily is a great singer, it fits the new song so well I like it, I don't hate her or something. That being said, I saw the concert they did online playing the old LP songs and I honestly feel that she did an amazing job to the extend of her ability because she have impossible shoes to fill. Nevertheless, something was missing for me. Chester was not only the vocalist + composer, to me he was THE VOICE of LP just like James Hetfield with Metallica, Jari with Wintersun, Tom Araya with Slayer, etc and without that, sounds very different even if the song is in the same style of LP (which is obvious because they are the same guys haha). I totally agree and happy that the guys want to continue doing music but I don't understand why they didn't change the name because I personally think that people would have taken it better or have more support than what they already have and avoid a lot of backlash. For example, the guitar player and drummer from Slayer continue some years later but with another name after Tom Araya (bass player+vocalist) retired. Their new songs actually sound like Slayer plus when they play live, they also play Slayer songs because those are also their songs and nobody is complaining. I see people happy to hear those songs live, same case with Alexi Laiho (RIP) with his new band Bodom After Midnight so...but well, it's just my opinion. I wish the best to the guys.

[@Prometheus-jv3hg]

Want to take a moment to react to all the backlash Emily received. Yes, she maybe made mistakes in the past, but haven't we all ? Would Chester, who always spoke out for love and mutual respect condone this ? Look, LP meant frikking much for me when i grew up, and their music and lyrics pulled me through so often.. I admit i was skeptical at first too, because somewhere deep down LP IS Chester, but seeing the smile on Mike's face during the live show reminded me that in the end they still love musiv and want to create new music. So Chester will ALWAYS be a part of LP, but Emily is a worthy succesor of Chester. So let's stop the hate against Emily, and look forward to the next chapter of LP.

Now you can see them live

We have just heard that Brad will no longer be part of the new LP...so with Chester, Rob and Brad gone...it gets harder to except the new, but I'm happy to hear new material...the older material (as much as we love it) won't be the same.

The album name From Zero is actually a throwback to what the original name of the band was going to be. As far as a vocalist search, there was alot of speculation about Amy Lee from Evanescence or Lzzy Hale from Halestorm were potential candidates but I don't believe either one was confirmed. The new album comes out November 15th and Emily Armstrong, the new co-vocalist, is originally from a band called Dead Sarah that have actually been around for quite a while. I look forward to hearing more from them when the album drops.

Not was going to be, was. The original band name was Xero then changed to Hybrid theory, then Chester joined, then the record label made them change names again due to a band named Hybrid, so along came LP

I agree with your thoughts, I'm happy for them for trying new stuff, but I do have to say, as you said it, she has some BIG shoes to fill when singing the old songs specially, I can't imagine her singing "Given Up" for example with that 30 second scream Chester did, the sound of those songs will inevitably change with her singing live, I just hope it's not too bad, but I am looking forward for the new songs that she can make completely her own in a way

[@Niero284690]

This is THE Dead Sara... And lit me advice you "The Weatherman" IMHO - This song is literally about fans reaction to her coming to LP, Where she gave up Dead Sara Solo-Path to sing, and play, and dance with the great ones.. and ppl around just... being them'f***ng'selves

[@sashathesis]

Oh, you should check From Zero show. You will hear more of her screams. She had a few bad moments during the show, but it was because of emotions and nervousness. Especially during Waiting for the End. At special lines she just started crying and can't sing it, she tried but... Mike sang to help her, but you should see it yourself. It was not that visible during liveshow, because cameras was not closeup that much, but Mike said it during interview. And she's probably hate him for telling this in interview.
