The Moment I Found Out the NEW SINGER | Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine REACTION!!

[@isabellafrancine1287]

I LOVE you and I HATE you 😂😂😂 You had the same reaction as I did, like "Wait, what? Who is she? Are you kidding me Linkin Park?? Kay, wait Isabella, open mind. Let's see if she can fill Chester fucking Bennington shoes." Emily starts screaming *I immediately start to smile* "NEVERMIND, SHE'S AWESOME, LET'S GO, LINKIN PARK IS BACK BABE"

[@MrsCathryne]

This was me as well. As soon as she gets to full on raspy screaming in this song during the second chorus, I was sold. She's fantastic. I missed you, LP, Mike, Joe, Brad and Dave. Welcome aboard, Emily and Colin. Please do keep on keepin' on.

[@tinalschmidt-banks3415]

She came from the band Dead Sara. She is awesome

[@jhosep1996ful]

Emily was the right choice, doesn't sound like Chester but sounds like Linkin Park, they both complemented the band vocally.

[@ramonabukatyuk2475]

The moment she came in you seemed so lost of words 😂😂

[@UnfilteredReactions]

@@ramonabukatyuk2475 had no words…. My brain had to reboot

[@ascendancy425]

Been an LP fan since the beginning. I couldn’t be happier with Emily joining, I honestly couldn’t name a better pick.

[@KristenBouwer]

Fun fact for you when she only started to learn to sing was after she had heard Chester on One Step Closer and Hybrid Theory. She is Emily Armstrong from Dead Sara oh and she can do all the tings

[@Jagermedia1]

I went to see them at the first tour show in LA. It was fucking incredible. I grew up with linkin park, im 35 now, used to bang hybrid theory in my Walkman 24/7. She rocks the old songs, it's not chester, that is what it is. But you can feel that she loves those songs. She puts her own thing on them but keeps them the same too. It was fun watching her have fun and rip them. The ENTIRE crowd was singing every word. She's awesome. Lp is back. I'm going to the dodger stadium show forsure

[@DogeTennant]

I know you probably know by now, but yes... She can do Faint, hahaha

[@PeterLustig-du2ut]

Oh yes she can 👍

[@ananasog13]

Watching your reaction was perfect entertainment! Thanks mate. She‘s 🔥🔥🔥!

[@Zikkar]

They have known Emily since 2019 and had don’t different sessions with her without even thinking at the time this would happen. There are some great interviews about it all.

[@zdenekdolezal9646]

Even tho it is more than 2 months old reaction, it is still fun to watch you reacting it for first time. Even after you already reacted to whole new album. Have you seen the whole introductory show tho? Not nearly her best show in my opinion - lot of nervosity, lot of emotions and little too much hickups because of that. But second half was already fire and next shows were near perfection.

[@UnfilteredReactions]

@@zdenekdolezal9646 yep. Did it with my guy Andrew. We were pretty drunk lol but it’s going thru editing now and her nerves were mentioned multiple times. Definitely could tell

[@MangoPlaysGame]

You should watch the Brazil show from Nov 15! 10x better once the nerves calmed​@@UnfilteredReactions

[@ohryan9872]

If you want to check out some of the live stuff I would recommend not the very first announcement of Emily in concert she was shaky she was nervous who wouldn't be but her later ones especially one where she sing waiting for the end it made me cry

[@Fireball1978]

Great reaction! I rarely like any song the first time I listen to it. The second I heard her voice for the first time, I was in. Listening to the other stuff like the video for Two-Faced ... I think she is amazing!

[@lliryk2943]

Saw many people saying this shouldnt have been the lead single - but I think it was the right choice. "The Emptiness Machine" is super catchy and already a hit. 275+ mio streams on Spotify in only 2,5 months. #1 on German single charts for 10 (!!) weeks in a row (basically since its release). The song basically immediately blew up and got everyone talking about Linkin Park again. 5-10 years from now this song will be considered a LP classic.

[@LyonHall1]

The first three were released in that particular order on purpose. Emptiness was first to ease the listener back into the band and also to ease Emily in as well. At the same time it showed us s small sample of what she could do. Heavy gave us that classic Mike rap with showcasing Emily's ability to delve into those Chester like screams. Over Each Other showed Emily's softer side that she doesn't need to be gritty or harsh in vocal tones. It was done to perfection

[@sammitchell3657]

Dead Sara "Lemon Scent" & "Sorry For It All" are a must Dan. You'll like those. She's got a hell of a voice.

[@Kelly30stm]

I'm glad I saw the other reactions first so I know you recorded this first. 😂

[@mipeeyush]

5:59 Poor man’s Chester. Lmao I’m dead 😭😭

[@Chaseraubeboyer]

Easy follow! Your reactions and commentary are so fair & genuine/authentic.

[@laurenhoover6024]

Highly recommend going back through his back catalog of full LP albums :)

[@rubenthomasms]

The live set is fantastic!

[@Douglas.Scott.McCarron]

She isn't don't the Chester spot. He is gone. She is doing her spot.

[@Madylein]

Saw them live in Hamburg and Paris and all I can say yes she killed it live ❤😍

[@Velkairiwyth]

Enjoy the ride my friend :D ive been beaming for weeks

[@elvirakharunova1589]

Incredible reaction! Love your emotions and reasonable conclusions ❤

[@traceybee1409]

She’s awesome ❤

[@oussama_2904]

Great Reaction ... ofc it's a new album "From Zero"

[@DeadBeatSage]

The album is really good. Kinda touches each era of their catalog with some twists and turns because of her unique abilities. It's also like 35 minutes long, you could do it all in a day and chop it up or as one. I don't know which would be best for you because you'll have a ton to say I'm sure. It's worth it. I say this as a casual LP listener. Always thought they were good but never went very deep. She does the older material her way, it took a show or two to get her footing since she was so nervous at first. Crowds are digging it. So am I.

[@johnwally14]

Just found your reactions and watched all the LP ones. Nice to see an open minded fan. Honestly I’m surprised how much I like this new version of them, Emily is incredible. They’re not new or anything but would love to see you react to Fightstar, Enter Shikari or Alexisonfire. Just for my own selfish wants

[@kiransistla6013]

You're the most intelligent reactor there is and I agree and share similar opinions of almost every thought you had. But can she sing Faint, i think is a crucial thing to observe. Man, you're awesome.

[@sammitchell3657]

I was pretty surprised when i heard the news too. Lol. After hearing From Zero tho. They made the right choice.

[@stephensegura5086]

Just found your reactions and we think alot alike! Definitely going to watch all your From Zero reactions now! Only thing I dissagree with is your question, "is this an all time Linkin Park classic?" Answer maybe, for the next generation and the new fans! the title of the album implies, this is from zero and should be regarded as their second, "first album" so it might be an all time classic for some 10.....20 years from now! Much repect brother! Cant wait to see your reaction to Emily's debut show! 🤘

[@kittbodota5728]

Yes she can do faint period

[@LP-yl7mr]

We have LP back ! 🎉

[@jodale1972]

The livesteam was not audio mixed well at all. You get much better audio mix from people shooting footage of the full concerts on their iphones. By the way, is this a repost? No way you are just now watching this?

[@jhosep1996ful]

It's a repost on the video at the beginning it says the date when it was recorded because I think it never uploaded the reaction to The Emptiness Machine

[@TheCreativeKobold]

There's a text on screen at 0:36 explaining it was recorded two and a half months ago. The video was stuck in copyright hell for that time, which is why it wasn't published before now. :)

[@elvirakharunova1589]

Subscribed immediately!

[@TheCreativeKobold]

Yeah, I had a lot of the same thoughts as you when I first saw this. Less of a shock, because it just immediately made a ton of sense to me. She definitely sounds like Linkin Park, even if she doesn't sound like Chester. And of course, no one will. Chester's Chester. That'd be like if Queen had to find a singer to replace Freddie Mercury, and anyone thinking that would've been possible. Just not possible. But Emily Armstrong's vocals are similar *in style* to Chester's, and she seems like she's more than capable of singing the old songs well. It's a really good fit! Honestly, I imagine Chester himself would've been very happy with the band's decision to bring in Emily for this new era of Linkin Park.

[@joshmolinari4873]

Will you put out your reaction to the first time seeing the livestream?

[@UnfilteredReactions]

@@joshmolinari4873 yep. Going thru editing now

[@kjqueen2582]

Like, she's not here to take chester spot. She's actually very respectful... i went to their concert here in Brazil and she respected very much our grieving, I love her very much

[@2FlyCaptain]

I feel like getting a male vocalist will always feel like a poor man's chester. I think they wanted a female singer who could do some justice to the old songs but give the band a new start. She grew in me fast. My initial reaction was "it's not chester" but once i realized it wasn't supposed to be and just took the music for what it was.

[@amazed-owl12]

Im not sure if you know this already but Linkin Park have a new drummer also

[@Oudoloulo]

You probably know by now but yes, she can do faint pretty damn good.

[@JH-hh5jm]

As some have said already, she doesn't sound like Chester. But she sounds like Linkin Park.

[@Nelson_Win]

By the chord Progression I've observed, Linkin Park has finally entered the Anime music era.

[@alaziiii]

what do you mean by anime music ?

[@Nelson_Win]

@@alaziiii the style of post hardcore and punk rock?

[@shikarifox4337]

With Heavy is the Crown I can see why you would get a stronger vibe of this.

[@Nelson_Win]

@@shikarifox4337 Heavy is the Crown doesn't match with the anime formula.

[@andrewcuevas1958]

The song good things go which is the last song on the album is the best song on the album

[@jww84]

You should react to the reveal livestream if you haven't

[@rosenrot2008amaranth]

the first woman he saw in his life hauhauahuahua

[@Rurru232332]

Must admit it, we all had a similar reaction when we litsened this song for the first time. But now I can't imagine LP without Emily, she is just THE RIGHT choice and her vocals are awesome. Also, this song is just an absolute banger. The more you litsen to it, the better it gets, it hits so hard. Love this song and love Emily

[@shikarifox4337]

Will there be a reaction here or Patreon of the introductory livestream?

I don't understand how you are 2 months late.. and why are you not watching the livestream dude :) Good reaction anyway ;)

[@UnfilteredReactions]

@@RemkoNHN this was recorded right after LP dropped it on KZbin, it got copyright flagged lol so then just saved it for the album to come out. But that’s why Rich Homie Quan tribute at the beginning, he passed that day

You need to react to the new one from Starset, urgently

Please react to Faint and Numb from livestream🙏 I like her voise so much, but I'd like to know you opinion)

[@andrewcuevas1958]

The new album is perfect 🔥 masterpiece

[@Ela84-i4m]

Nobody can sing "Faint" as Chester could. Emilys Version is good but, for me, Faint is not her Song.

[@jamesmirage5664]

Dude , u nailed it on this one ! It took me a couple of minutes to become a fan of Emily! Now I can't get enough of her!

[@rosaeusithilelen]

Bro are u serious? Emily FUKIN Armstrong? This is the Brittney Slayes of grunge man. She is a magician with her vocals - she can do EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING. Wipes the fkin floor with ol Chester(God rest his soul) if u ask me..U been sleeping under a rock? Dead Sara rings a bell? Her bag of tricks is FULL mate.

@@horizondriver9368 check out my reactions to the whole album. This song is pretty good but not close to the best on the album. Actually surprised they made this the first single. They had better options

Chester is sort of like Lynn Strait from the band Snot...you just can't replace those singers! I would prefer to call Emily a fill in, she will never truly replace Chester Bennington.
