An amazing band that is often the victim of moronic hate because they're popular.

Despite the fact that they're a very talented band, 13 year old prepubescent boys who call themselves hardcore can't like them because they've been on TRL.
Prepubescent boy 1 (4:21: hai kenny, im watchin mtv (cuz i had nothin better to do) and linkin park is on!! -covers ears-

Kenny (4:21): Hey, I think that they're pretty good.

Prepubescent boy 1 (4:27): yah!. neway gotta go headbang to slipknot. peace

Kenny (4:27): o__o'

Get the Linkin park mug.
The best freakin band ever!!!!
They scream like... every other word, but it's like... uh... meaningful screaming, adding to the angst of it all! Or the anger. :P Same difference. Lead singer's name is Chester Bennington. Drummer, Rob Bourdon. Guitarist, Brad Delson. MC/vocalist, Mike Shinoda. DJ, Joseph Hahn. Bassist, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell.
Girl: Do you like Linkin Park?

Dude: No, but that's because I'm an insane monkey who deserves to be taken down to Australia and left for dead in their 'aussie' grips! Or at least ditched at McDonald's...

This is the clincher for all of you haters/lovers of Linkin Park:

OK, so it's nu-metal music. So? People have different tastes in music- the idea for things in life is to keep an open mind. This applies to music too.

Some people listen to Slipknot. That's fine by me, if they like it, let them listen to it. Some people listen to Nickelback. OK, if that's their cup of tea, more power to them.

I don't quite frankly care if I get bashed for saying this: Linkin Park are musicians. They all know how to manage their instruments, and they can get a decent sound out of them. Don't you dare tell me that Joseph Hahn cannot DJ, he can turntable and use his computer skills exquisitely, and don't you dare tell me Brad Delson is a "guitard", he can shape chords even if they're not the most complex.

The vocal styling for Linkin Park is undoubedly generic nu-metal, but so what? What distincts them from other nu-metal acts are the people who are doing it. There is not going to be another Shinoda or Bennington, period. They are the only ones with their kind of vocal tone.

To the haters, I'm getting the vibe from your flames, bashing, unconstructive criticism, and full-out spam that you are all simply immature 5th graders that have nothing better to do than:

A)Jump on the bandwagon and insult a musically capable band just because everyone else is...

B)Fill a site up with pointless remarks that I can HARDLY DEFINE AS A _DEFINITION_.

If you are older than 10, I feel sorry for you. Your sloppy typing makes people recieve a bad reflection of you, but that's a different story.

You can't go and tell people "Oh, LP sucks, go listen to some <band>" What they listen to is their preference, not yours. Keep an open mind about things in the future.

Because, didn't your elders tell you "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?" Those were one of the best life lessons I've learned, and I took it to heart. So should you. But if your brain is just too weak to process this information, I suggest you go back to school and go learn something from your local pastor.
Bands that are currently being bashed around the online community:

Linkin Park.
Limp Bizkit.
Nickelback.
Slipknot.
Fall Out Boy.
Hawthorne Heights.

They all do one thing or another, but they're still musicians. Remember that.

The best band ever and despite contrary belief, a very talented and succesful band.

Their name is a deliberate misspeling of a famous monument where they grew up.

Before Linkin Park signed with warner brothers they were known as Hybrid Theory because of their hybrid between rap, rock and elctronica. This is now the name of their first released album.

Before the band Hybrid Theory there was Xero which was more focused on Hip Hop.

They play to real life problems and put on the best live show ive ever seen at download 07.

Their latest album, Minutes to midnight, wasnt as good as their other albums but still, its brilliant.

So far they are the only band to have successfully combine three styles as different as rap, rock and elctronica and appeal to most audiences.

The band consists of:
Chester Bennington - Lead Vocals
Mike Shinoda - Keyboard, Rhythm Guitar, Emcee, Vocals
Joe Hahn - Turntables
Brad Delson - Lead Guitar
Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell - Bass
Rob Bourdon - Drums
"Hear me out now, you're gonna listen to me like it or not right now" Clearly singing about arguing, a common thing...

what you've heard is true, Linkin Park is a poser Nu-Metal band whos message is "im rich and everybody loves me, but im just so sad"
they take a very long time to think of songs and lyrics, if you dont belive me, just look at reanimation...its the second album which does nothing but remake their past songs by rearranging their lyrics a bit and make it seem like the cd is skipping....really, really, bad way to make a second cd...im sorry

Linkin Park are the best band ever! I am completely obsessed, I think all the members are really talented. Also they are NOT an emo band! My fave member is Mike, he's really talented as he can sing, rap and do guitar and keyboard, oh and paint :D
All the people that have made entries calling Linkin Park crap or other lies need to get a life. It's sad to go to the trouble to write an essay about a band you don't even like. You aren't going to achieve anything. It's not like all LP's fans are gonna see some sad person complaining about them and suddenly stop being a fan. People need to think about what they are doing before they waste 5 minutes of their life.
LP fan: I love Linkin Park! ^^

Hater: What?!! They suck!

LP fan: Actually they are extremely talented, really nice guys,they have thousands of fans all over the world. Just beacuse you don't like them doesn't mean they are a bad band.

Hater: I know that, but I have nothing better to do with my time because being such an idiot I have no friends...
