Boom! This^ LINKIN PARK is definitely felt like a B(R)AND. The name is huge, there's no way they would abandon that name. The synergy between the name and music really defines LINKIN PARK as long as Shinoda is steering the ship.

vinifeijo Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 They could come back with new version of all songs. Never play again the songs as they originally were, but a revision/reprise of the track. Keeping the instrumental and basics similar to the original. They are used to do that, ok the studio they rerecord many versions of each song, with different lyrics. This could be like a Linkin Park multiverse of some kind.

New album and concerts coming soon to a city near you!” = $ one is a massive story that will get music fans everywhere talking.. The other is a headline that will quickly be forgotten about by the general public and will turn in to a niche project for dedicated fans similar to anything Mike Shinoda has done under his own name.

Hybrid1988 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) 1 hour ago, Smarky said: Personally I was wondering if it was a reference to Xero and if the band are reforming but not with all members, i.e Rob is not in the band anymore, so they have a new singer and at least a new drummer, maybe they don't call themselves LP anymore, but go back to the original name of Xero or something inspired by that, like a fresh start, but going back to the original idea and roots of LP. To me that makes a lot of sense and gets around a lot of the 'issues', having a female singer, makes less comparisons to Chester, renaming the band but keeping a connection to the original allows them to break free but also move forward, less comparisons, less people getting upset at it just being a 'legacy' band cashing in on the LP name etc. this would be the best case scenario for me. I would support this 100% the reality is I think there is zero chance they ditch the Linkin park name. It doesn’t make any business sense. LP is a business venture.

millytripleseven Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) I think starting again as Xero would be smart move, but long-term. They would avoid comparisons of the new singer to Chester, it would allow them to cut off everything that's in the past and start with a blank piece of paper. Big portion of LP fanbase would follow. But it would require an organic process of building the brand, including playing smaller shows and non-headlining spots at big festivals probably for a few years. To me as a fan it totally makes sense if you're thinking long-term, but it doesn't short-term, because they can basically come back as LP whenever they're ready and get big tour offers and all. I'm here for whatever comes Edited August 25 by millytripleseven Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17263-countdown-on-linkinparkcom/page/5/#findComment-330914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subs Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I honestly cant comprehend that people want new LP music. Chester is gone, LP is gone. Dont give me the whole “ there are 5 others in the band just as important “, you can replace pheonix but not chester. I know ill never be ready, OML was the fitting end of LP. ill enjoy whatever they do and support them but it wont be Linkin Park.

Subs Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Wrong. It’s down to the guys to make the final say, yes. is it LP without Chester ? Sound wise ?

If they announce in 2 days Linkin Park are back, whether Chester is there or not they are still Linkin Park. I fail to understand your logic.

I know its not rationale and its an emotionally charged subject. Its just weird to me people would want a LP without CB. Mike is a genius and im sure itll be good, but when you lose arguably the greatest vocalist in the world, the soul of the band, like, what exactly are you wanting out of LP 2.0 ?

Just because you have an emotional connection to the topic, it doesn’t make you right. It might not be hard to understand, but you’re still wrong, and I find that particular opinion that some of you have rather weird. It’s not the Linkin Park that you’re used to, but we know that it IS still Linkin Park. None of this is new. Other bands have lost members, distinctive voiced singers and continued the band name, because at its core and anything outside of that, it’s still the same band but with a new vocalist/member. No matter how much you want what you’re saying to be true, it never will be.

KiddIsAlive Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I understand if you don't feel LP would be the same with a different singer, but nobody forces you to be on board with it, follow the band's new projects or socials or simply listen to whatever new material there may be. Being mad at the fact that this thing might just simply exists with the LP name is what gets people weirded out, not your personal feeling that you explained, I think.
