i'm trying found more old reviews to share with lpl community

Taproot, Linkin Park, Alien Ant Farm February 13th, 2001 Pontiac, MI @ Clutch Cargo's ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian hit the nail squarely on the head when he said recently something to the effect of, "LIMP BIZKIT is just THE BACKSTREET BOYS with guitars." Ian must not have seen LINKIN PARK yet because that is exactly the perfect descriptor for these puff" Metal" wonders. And aren't they so pretty too, my god little girls were actually fainting in front of the stage! They do have their chops down so much credit for actually playing their instruments and it can't be said that people didn't enjoy them so what is the complaint? It just smells of Satan's crooked hand wiping out any real Hard Rock or Metal band's success at radio. If you value your GODSMACK on the airwaves you will discourage people from buying LINKIN PARK because if this stuff hits any bigger than it has you can say goodbye to anything with any meat on it for a long while. On the other hand TAPROOT has continued on in the tradition of crossover Nu-Metalers like THE DEFTONES and found their own happy mediums between Metal, Rap and Rock infusing some well conceived lyrical notions for the Hard Rocker who likes to ponder a lyric now and then. As for this evening in particular it was another homecoming show for the Ann Arbor natives who seemed to come up with just a little more for the friends and family in the audience. Lead Singer Stephen Richards found it hard to keep all of the energy from overflowing the stage leaving his bandmates and road crew to fish him out of the audience at least a dozen times. Twice during the evening he scaled the second tier scaffolding and leapt into the audience below. The sold out show had the fans squeezed in pretty tight so there wasn't really much chance of hitting the floor but still, not something I would try. The song selection ran like this, "Mirror's Reflection," "Dragged Down," "Day by Day," "Again and Again," "Now," "Comeback," "I," "Smile," and "Emotional Times" finished it all off. "I" is the group's latest single to radio and seemed to get the best response from the audience though the entire set was the definitive high-energy live experience. ALIEN ANT FARM was added to the bill as an afterthought but everyone seemed to benefit from the addition. AAF had a chance to make some converts in front of a sold-out room and the audience got to see a band that should leap frog its way to headlining status in short order. Of the seven songs played "Wish" seemed to be the crowd favorite. They did end the set strangely with a cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" which is a move that I can only hope they reconsider before returning to town with the ORGY tour.

Waist high children running around screaming, a mother putting in her three year old son's ear plugs directly in front of me. I half expected her to get out a cooler bag and serve out sandwiches to her siblings. What has rock music come to?! The first support were Bolton's own Kinesis. Putting in a great show they filled the arena with their politi-punk anthems to almost no response from the crowd. A shame, as the local lads packed in high energy and powerful music. They were followed by Lostprophets. Mixing new material from their forthcoming album with older crowd favourites, the Prophets were a disappointment. Lead vocalist Ian Watkins seemingly trying to cram as many obscenities into their set as humanly possible. Their new material, shying away from their nu-metal past, focuses on the hip genre of the day; post-hardcore. The songs all sounded very similar, all leading to the final breakdown, and their set lacked originality. And onto the main show. Many things have been said about Linkin Park's live capabilities, ranging from bad to very bad. However, from the moment they came on, until the second they left the stage, the entire arena was going crazy for them, and justifiably so. The band were totally on form, blasting out song after song, lead singer Chester Bennington's vocal range incredible to behold. With the stage set-up of two side platforms on either side of the stage, the mammoth arena became intimate for a few moments every few songs for the lucky people in the seats at the side, with Bennington singing to you from less than a metre away in my case. They played a range of songs from both hugely successful albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora, from the adrenaline surge of Points Of Authority to an anthemic Breaking The Habit, with co-vocalist Mike Shinoda accompanying Bennington on the keyboards. Fans were even treated to a version of the X-Ecutioners hit It's Goin' Down which featured Shinoda. Highlight of the evening for me was recent single Numb, with Bennington's vocals sending a shiver down many a spine with this moving rendition. As no arena gig would be complete without it, as they came back for an encore, we had the 'lighter alert', for a version of b-side My December. The band ended on a fearsome version of mosh-pit favourite One Step Closer and with the last scream, they were off. Linkin Park brought a closeness to the arena I hadn't witnessed before, interacting with fans throughout the entire set, and making a lot of people feel very special. Their music was incredible, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Phoenix and drummer Rob Bourdon creating a fantastic backdrop for Bennington and Shinoda to work with. Strangely, DJ Mr Hahn chose to remain in a Hulk mask for the entire gig. With a set full of the crowd favourites and not one bad song, I think even the Mums will have left the arena humming Crawling, as their sons begged them to buy them a hilariously overpriced t-shirt.
