for shame texas ben, for shame.
but goon on you for admitting it, i too, once foundbreaking the habbit kinda catchy, but then i remembered the song had no meaning at all. but no excuse for those other ones
remember, no matter what linkin park sounds like, it always sucks. if linkin park did stairway to heaven instead of led zeppelin, and it sounded exactly the same, stairway to heaven, would in this scenario, suck
EDIT:
it appears i need to further explain my views, well, ill steal someone elses post to explain it (its such a good post i saved it on word)
But as much as they suck, they could never be as terrible as Linkin Park is. They're so obviously one of those record company-engineered 'bands' created for teenagers under the illusion that their life sucks. With loud screaming and pathetically angsty "rebellious" lyrics, Linkin Park proves to me that every time I think humanity has hit an un-matchable low, it can sink just a little farther down, because people seem to like it when their favorite singer yells "SHUT UP" for a minute and a half.
Yes, it's true. A minute and a half. That's how long Linkin Park's songs actually are sometimes. They don't even have enough talent to continue their droning for more than four minutes. Anyone remember that song by Led Zeppelin, Moby Dick? John Bonham was capable of dragging that on for three quarters of an hour, and it was entertaining. This is one guy who is capable of hitting things with sticks for 45 minutes and having the crowd go wild.
And to top it all off, I've never met anyone who can name any individual talents for Linkin Park members, or even recall all of their names. Any good Zep fan knows Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones, and they know damn well how talented each one was at everything they did. Jimmy Page was a legendary guitarist, Robert Plant was an incredible singer and harmonica player, John Bonham was pretty much unmatched(in my opinion) at the drums, and John Paul Jones was such a bad ass that he could play a triple-necked bass guitar.
I couldn't really find words to express my intense hatred for Linkin Park and the crap they spew, so I'm stealing someone else's quote to sum it up.
"It's like an express train full of things designed to hurt your mind; just when you think that it's finished running you over, another car hits you, grinding yet another valuable part of your soul beneath its wheels."
