For those who know me, Linkin Park is my all-time favourite band and has been since I’ve been 10 years old. 10 years old is when I started to dive into creative writing. This isn’t a coincidence, the band and lead singer were the reason I thought ‘hot damn, words in sentences is nice.’
Now imagine that a little bit more poetic and with proper grammar.
Linkin Park started with a mystery counter that counted down from 100 hours, then promptly started counting back up. Detectives on the internet (aka Reddit) saw a glitch at 09:05:00 on the counter.
September 5, 2024 is when they performed live.
Linkin Park has come back with a new lead singer and album, and will go on a world tour. According to their tour schedule so far, Canada is not included.
I’ve already been asked how I feel about this and I’m going to keep this short and sweet, because honestly, I’m already bored of listening to my inner dialogue as I type.
Elephant in the room, the death of Chester Bennington. No one can replace him, and no one ever will. These musicians can still do what they love. I’m really looking forward to whatever new music Linkin Park plays. I personally like the sound of Emily’s voice and think there’s great potential.
This wasn’t an easy decision for the band, I’ve even noticed Rob has not joined back, but I’m hoping people will be kind and less douchey.
At the live show they looked so happy to be performing again, so in their element, especially Mike.
At the end of the day, Linkin Park is a band that has evolved in many ways over the years. Just because there’s a new chapter moving forward, doesn’t mean any previous chapters have been completely erased. Do you burn pages as you read a book? Then you’re a psycho who shouldn’t own books.
