Spooky Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Rob to me really does feel like a John Deacon situation. And thats okay if someone can never recover from it, or finds other interests, the things we choose in life. I really hope it's more like that versus a disagreement and what not though. But I'd like to think so Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17342-20240905-los-angeles-ca-special-event/page/8/#findComment-332224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hybrid Theory rerelease and Papercuts release, he didn’t show up for anything. Him not showing up for the Hybrid Theory rerelease seems a bit incorrect cause he showed up for the Q&A on October 9th 2020 so that counts for something but I wonder if that's the last thing.

Sukotto Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Big thumbs up! Wasn’t expecting an hour set, so that was totally awesome. Felt the band gelled well and were firing on all cylinders. I’m new to Emily Armstrong (but will check out Dead Sara) so had no preconceptions about what she’d sound like. She did a great job and made it her own. Strong vocal, sounds like she has good range for keeping up with old songs. Her ‘singing’ voice is top. Only ‘criticism’ I’d have is that she could dial back the harsher vocals in places on the older songs where it doesn’t need quite so much emphasis, but for all I know that’s her style. Key takeaway is that this is show 1, as she settles in live, imagine what show 10, 50, 100 will sound like. I agree with comment above re comparison to Rob and John Deacon. ‘Distancing himself’ from the band doesn’t necessarily mean bad blood, could just be finishing that chapter of his life and moving on to the next thing. All in all, looking forward to what comes next. New track is a brilliant introduction to new sound, the band are very good at that - WID, Catalyst, BID, GATS, Heavy… they all did that. Roll on Nov 15! — just been on YouTube. The AI covers putting Chester vocals on TEM have already started cropping up. One published 7 hours ago… that’s within an hour of it being released 😒 Edited September 6 by Sukotto Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17342-20240905-los-angeles-ca-special-event/page/8/#findComment-332251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMM Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Emily need to change technique on some songs, she's going to hard sometimes. They need to review show and talk about what she can improve before tour. Maybe some change in setlist needed too. She use raspines when its no needed. Her clean performance on what I've done is what it should look like most of the time. Finger crossed. She is great singer. Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17342-20240905-los-angeles-ca-special-event/page/8/#findComment-332254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, to me she is a very good singer (most of the time hitting the right notes), but not as strong on the screams, live. I hope she'll sing more on the new songs, and I might get used to this new LP. For me Linkin Park ended when Chester passed away, I was too attached to his voice... but I always wished the guys would come back, either all 5 of them as LP or with new people, but under a new band name. Well, a new LP book is being written. Good luck guys.

LinkinMark Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I am back from the shadows! Honestly I think Emily was great. At the beginning I was getting a little frustrated with how much she would turn the mic towards the crowd but by the end I was really pleasantly surprised. What made me happiest today was just seeing Mike perform with a smile on his face. Dude just wants to make and play music with the band that he created, and his heart was ripped out 7 years ago. Here’s to a new chapter of Linkin Park. Also announcing arena shows just a couple of weeks out is so bizarre lol Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17342-20240905-los-angeles-ca-special-event/page/8/#findComment-332269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebro Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Question, how did we find out about Emily Armstrong? Was it just because 'E m i l y' - 5 letters, and A r m s t r o n g - 9 letters? which is 5th of september? 20 minutes ago, Yucker said: Anyone knows what happened to Brad yesterday?

PizzaPino Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The live performance will only be available for 24h. I hope you guys save it. Also the ticket websites are showing a stage that is the same that we saw yesterday. And this also confirms that the performance we saw is pretty much their upcoming tour concept and setlist.

millytripleseven Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I'm reading the show notes, which say: " Brad Delson decided not to make touring appearances, Alex Fetter replaced him on guitar". But I think we're NOT ENTIRELY SURE of that ? From the way Mike did the introductions, it sounded more like he's just temporarily filling in (he wasn't introduced as a "new touring member" or something to that effect, it was just "filling in for Brad Delson"). Also Alex played on Brad's guitar rig, which makes me think Brad was supposed to be there, but something came up on short notice so he needed replacement. A permanent touring guitarist would probably prefer playing his own rig.

Mapapwomatic Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I have mixed feelings. Emily is an awesome singer and she sounds good when she doesn't exaggerate it (She sometimes did in the live performance in my opinion, it's fine if some parts are sung in a clean way). I also think she fits for the songs, BUT what bothers me is that many songs have a shift in pitch, many of them are higher than the original and some of them sound silly and less energetic because of that. It just sounds off. I noticed that in Numb, Faint, Somewhere I Belong and Crawling, there are probably more. What I really love is the new song. It feels like Linkin Park, it sounds like Linkin Park, it IS Linkin Park! It feels more like Linkin Park than most of the album "One More Light" in my opinion.

vinifeijo Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It´s HARD to replace Chester. She was pushing herself to the limit to try to appeal to the scream-side of the fanbase. She'll improve a lot, will find her pace. I hope they replace the livestream on youtube with the proper FULL HD or 4k proshot.

danielpsoad-09 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Overall the show left me with good feelings. I think Emily will eventually find her footing, at least I hope. I do agree she was trying way too hard to hit that "raspiness" that Chester was known for in some of the songs (Catayst, SIB). I think she sounded best when doing clean singing or straight up yelling/screaming. The problem was the in between. The hardest part will be getting used to the old songs being perfomred in a different key, but it makes sense why they had to do it that way.
