JZLP-Benningstrong Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 12 hours ago, GreyFox-AFCA said: When Linkin Park started sharing "Notes from the band" in 2022 Rob was on the signature list, so his departure must have been after that at least. My theory is that he wasn't happy with the decision of choosing Emily as the lead (and only) vocalist. Theh said that they tried working w other vocalists and Emily was meant to be a feature. Probably Rob liked the idea of not having a permanent Vocalist and when they chose Emily he stepped away. The timing of Robs departure makes sense w my theory.

GreyFox-AFCA Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I don't really know about that man. Remember in the first interview from the comeback that Emily said they basicly asked her about being the singer for Linkin Park around september last year, before she went on vaccation. That's when shit started to be real for LP at least. But your theory could still also be true if it was before that time that they were continueing as LP that they at least were certain to perform, but maybe under a different name.

Qwerty18 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Eventually, one occasion where we could hear from Rob again would be if, in the distant future, some media outlets tracks him back and get an interview from him. And being the introvert, off-the-gird, person that he is, the odds are very high he'd decline any such thing. Not counting on any further details about his departure, at least not any time soon. i wouldn't hold my breath on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I'm betting media have already hounded his reps for comments n questions n he just doesn't want anything to do or say anymore. I do often wonder, (I have alot of time to either worry about life or wonder these type of things 😄 n I choose these), If they paid him out like they did Talinda, he no longer has involvement, reps, nothing. He owes the fans nothing, but it woulda been a perfect time to have a statement of thanks to us n good luck to the guys. Just something simple, no explanation necessary. Something. We saw him last in 2020. I do remember Mike, in his streams, saying "I couldn't get ahold of him. Rob's on another planet, I don't know where he is". And another, when a fan asked why Rob didnt attend a live stream he was supposed to, he said, "It's a long story..I have no excuses or explanations." The look on his face was a bit irritated IMO. I'm also guessing they tired of chasing Rob to do things, participate, attend. Now Colin is a dream come true for Mike. We'll never see him again. They may be up for Rock Hall nominations next year. Be interesting if he would show for that, that's a big deal. I dunno.. just venting n wondering cuz I have nowhere else I can put my lame-o thoughts about it all. 🤷♀️ Thanks people!

JZLP-Benningstrong Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Linkin Park will be eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Next year. Will they be inducted in their first year? seems difficult but when they get inducteed its probably the next time that you will see Rob.

Cheryl Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 With our fan base? Yeah, they'll get nominated right outta the gate! Some do their first year, but I have a notion we'll all band together n get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catnagnet Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 I have often thought of, and wondered what, Rob is doing now. I hoped for a reunion of all the Linkin park I knew. Including brad and especially Rob. I don't think it would have been that hard to find a singer who would so perfectly be able to recreate chesters passionate softness and transition to the gutteral screams. In fact, I had a few friends in the music industry that would have been perfect. Linkin Park will never be Linkin park for me again. Not with the chick singer. Not without brad and especially without Rob. Castle of glass was my favorite song to watch live....because of Rob. I wish I would run into him someday, somewhere. He's the best drummer, ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the best drummer, ever Cool bro. I also have friends in the music industry who, sonically, would fit in Linkin Park pretty well if the goal was to replace Chester, but instead of bitching, I'm celebrating "the chick singer" as you call her. Is she Chester? No, and neither are any of my friends or your "friends." But she has a powerful voice of her own - like Chester had - and fits well within the band's chemistry - like Chester did - and that's far more important than simply having "the guy that does the thing the same way the other guy did the thing."

Rockter Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I reckon that's one person making accounts on here only to post stuff like this, since it's at least the second time when the comment was posted immediately after the account was made and seemingly completely abandoned afterwards.
