People in general tend to think the lead vocalist of the band is always the primary lyricist as well when it's actually extremely common for vocalists to sing words written by a different member of the band.
I'm excited about the possibility of Linkin Park returning in whatever fashion that may be. This seems like an odd thing to just make up so I'm assuming Jay heard something - even if it turns out he misinterpreted what he heard and is way off base here.
I'd love more Funko Pops based on the albums like the Hybrid Theory and Reanimation ones. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how they would do that for like A Thousand Suns or The Hunting Party.
I do make it for myself. I upload things because there's a chance that somebody else will like it too. But go off since you know more about my motivations than I do.
I think there's a gulf of difference between a fan tribute to the man and using his image for commercial gain in a battle royale game. I'm not saying AI voice clones are beyond moral scrutiny, but I don't think the fact I dabbled with that tech prevents me from calling out something like this.
When GATS dropped I was living in a hotel during a very rough period of my life. I remember it as one of few things that excited me at the time and I listened to it a lot. As dumb as it sounds, looking forward to THP was a big part of grounding me and pushing me forward for those few months.
