too bad nirvana isnt an option... i could go for one of those Cobain-esque solos thats impossible for anyone else to play.

lets see, guitaretab.com, a very respectable site for tabs, linkin park tabs: 33
nirvana tabs :186
hell some band called lynyrd skynyrd has 11 more tabs than linkin park.

*sigh* how many times must i quote this great post:

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."

For naming all of those musicions, I know less the nhalf of them. Also, who cares if some company produced them (meaning Linkin Park)? They still make music and a lot of teenagers (like myself) like them.
Also, arn't all of those guy's you named old? The times have changed, and so has music. Obviously you haven't.

Marty only. Blow me away was pretty cool in the instrumental form, but Rock Anthem for Saving the Universe is still better. And Incubus was okay, but their sounds on the soundtrack sound are heavily pink-floydish. If I had to pick bands I would say make the game without music, because most new bands today suck.


If the game had no music it would be insanely boring. People don't realize how important music is to TV and Video Games.

why back in my day we had respect (well, im 13, but if i was older... i just wanted to say back in ym day)

why kurt cobain had more talent in his little finger than linkin park had, has, or ever will.

(oh, dont point out that i said 'had' because he was unfortunately foudn dead by his own hand back in '94, thought you wouldnt know that with yur lack of respect for the older bands)

Okay..I'm the man everybody loves to hate. Also, I said I haven't heard of half the bands/people stated! How the Fu** can someone even know the metal/punk world works without listening to Nirvana? I don't just listen to them, I bought a guitar, Nirvana "In Utero" guitar music, and their CD "Nevermind.
Also, they basically started the screeming solo. On their "Nevermind" CD have you heard the song where (our Lord) Kurt Kobain literally screams "Gotta get away" about a million times?
Metallica is also a great band from way back then that I listen to almost as much as I listen to Mettalica. Speaking of old bands, Korn created their first CD in '93, and Disturbed not soon before/after that.
I don't hate old music, I just like the new stuff better. I accepted the change in the Music World.


So there.

In other words, you sold out. Aren't goths supposed to be against selling out to the mainstream? Although any self-respecting goth wouldn't like linkin park very much... they would listen to goth music like... I dunno... gothy stuff. Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, that other goth stuff.... I guess you aren't really a goth, but just another sell-out. Oh well.


Posted by: GothGuy Also, arn't all of those guy's you named old? The times have changed, and so has music. Obviously you haven't.

Classics never die. There's no denying that most (if not all) new music has much much less talent and substance than in the days before other genres usurped the spotlight (1960's-early 1990's)... and those other genres suck even more than do new rock. And with the loss of rock as the main music of young people, an abomination was born... Rock mixed with other genres... this includes such bands as linkin park, papa roach, and korn. These monstrocities violated the sanctity of rock by polluting it with the most vile form of rythmic repetitions ever... rap. And in the case of linikin park, they also injected it with just a touch of techno for maximum degredation. And as if that wasn't bad enough, They went on tour with snoop dog and recorded a CD with JayZ-- which was total crap. Below is my impression of "numb" from collision course:

[JayZ]Yo! Yo! [LP nasal singer due]What are you waiting for? [Jay Z] Yo! Yo!
[asain touchpad dude] Boing boing boing boing boing boing [JZ] Yo! Yo!

Lather rinse repeat 500x.

Just for your information--Texas Ben--I do have Rob Zombies "Hellbilly Deluxe" and White Zombies "Astro-Creep: 2000". Is AFI Goth too? Because I have them too.
Oh yeah, and talking about steriotypes, shouldn't you like Garth Brooks and other country musitions?
By the way, I'd like to stay on topic for this thread and say that all of the bands I have listed (not in slander, of course) should be on the HALO 3 SOUNDTRACK! Am I the only one who remembers why this forum began? or is it too much fun for you guy's to keep slandering Linkin Park and every other Fu**ing band I've stated? So far as I can tell, I haven't blatently told you guy's (or should it be "Cowboy" for the Texen) off for your selection of music.

WTF? I'm not a cowboy, or even a texan. And anyway, that's not really fair. You choose to be goth, and goth is defined by attitude, dress, and music (mostly voluntary).

I think you just did. And I'm not from texas.

Honestly now, you need to chill. All I'm saying is that linkin park sucks the big one, and as far as I can tell, I am entitled to that opinion. You're entitled to yours too, so can we please not fight?

Your name "gothguy" Implies your gothiness. My name simply implies that I am from texas, not that I am a cowboy.

You guys are totally pissing me off the way that you think I'm this Goth guy that runs around with make-up and only Goth clothing! I just like Fu**ing Goth music so I named some stuff Goth, what's the problem? How mature/old are you people? Did I seel my grave by having a preference to Linkin Park and that I defended it (and I still do) instead of leaving it?
WHAT THE HELL IS A MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Nothing at all is the matter with me. But something must be the matter with you if you like linkin park. But that's just me. Actually noone at all flamed you, this prosecution is a figment of your imagination.

I think I should apologize for most of my remarks in this thread... theres a lot going on right now, as evidenced in the "if you can hear me" thread... believed to be a suicide not. I'm likely to go off at anyone right now, so sorry gothguy, you were merely on the wrong end of a stressful day. I actually like linkin park, at least when they aren't rapping like morons. I hate rap, and it makes me angry when an otherwise good band uses it.
