Dude, relax. Slipknot's not satanic. I've met Sid, he's anything but satanic. Anyway, just relax. Show them songs like Vermilion Pt. 2. They'll think differently.

Hey people. I haven't been on here since 2003. Anyway, if I was annoying back then, I'm a whole different person so... whatever. Anyway, I play guitar and drums and I have been writing an album. It will have 16 songs. I have written 4 that MIGHT be on there, so I'm going to post them here. I hope you enjoy them. This song is about a friend who had two personalities. 1. The Bipolar Song verse I There's a face that you hide everyday A face that fails you in every way You seem like you're scared of yourself Don't be ashamed to admit that you need help So quit telling me that you're fine & well You're putting yourself in a living Hell And now, deep inside of you, there's a hole A hole that used to contain your soul verse II Your mindset has been scaring me Your vision, one I'd hate to see You're heart's turned black, what to do? You don't care, you've nothing left to lose And you think that I'm so full of hate You've gone downhill, now whatcha think of fate? You're slowly but surely falling off the ball Will your ignorance be your downfall? chorus I'm gonna throw you away I'll never let you down I'm gonna shove you away I'm gonna throw you around And I've got something to say I'll give you something I've found I'll never do that for you I'm not determined or bound (chorus) (guitar solo) (chorus) (chorus) This song was written today. I have a guitar part for it, and am wondering if drums or bass is even necessary. This song is about my grandmother, who lived around a forest. She died last year. 2. A Better Place Verse I The memory of your loving eyes never cease to haunt me You're a rose in a land of stone Nothing you couldn't do; you helped me learn and grow I still think of you; I can't believe you're gone I've known you for so long You were kind to everyone you met You knew everything; you left no plain unseen A few years ago you knew that it was almost time for you to go That didn't ever bring you down I was lost but you found me I still love you, can't you see? Chorus And I love you The woman who became a part of me The thought of you in a better place It comforts me Verse II You mean so much to me Looking at your picture brings me back To a time long ago; that's a memory I never will let go That house: The one I grew up in I wish for just one day, we could all be there again I want to go back to that waterfall We sat by it for hours, not a moment ever sour You did so much for me I know we'll meet again, in the end, yeah, we all win (chorus) (chorus) This song's about Katrina. Comedown verse I I've figured out what you're all about And now I don't have a doubt I trust in you... I know you can do this I live for you... I know you'll be proud of this chorus So let the rain come down and right all the wrongs That we've dealt with for so long So let the rain come down and give us everything That we've wished for for so long Oh... so long... so long verse II No one would've ever dreamed of this No longer, the cold wind that I kiss I always had faith... but never in my dreams... I never would've thought of this No matter what it seems Its great to see people give a s*** chorus So let the rain come down and right all the wrongs That we've dealt with for so long So let the rain come down and give us everything That we've wished for for so long Oh... so long... so long (chorus) speaking quietly I guess this just goes to show that good things can come out of disasters... Pick Up the Pieces verse I You tell me to pick up the pieces But I'm at the end of my rope Can't you see this? You say I was lost but now I'm found You've gotten me so high with your lies The only way I've got to go is down (pick up the pieces...) verse II You tell me lose my ideals I understand opinions But this is just evil You tell me to regain control But how can I do that If you've stolen my soul bridge So don't tell me to start again So don't tell me to let you in So don't want me to give in You think you can always win Well mistakes like that can cost you your life You always said you believed in the hype I wish you could see it my way I wish you could be fair someday Verse III You tell me to be a little more grateful Well I want you to be A little less hateful You tell me to stop moping & cheer up How can I do that If you don't give a fuck?

You all are nice people, but it seems that me not being through puberty yet means I have no opinion. This happens on every fucking message board I go to. I have an IQ higher that alot of adult's and I'm a lot fucking smarter than you, fs1999. So go unwind, listen to LP and get over yourself, Scott Stapp. Any 11 year old in 8th grade should be entitled to their own opinion. But obviously, you don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself. I'll leave now. Think about yourself carefully, asshole. Just because I don't worship HT as a piece of religious memorabilia does not mean that I am a bad person. I suggest an attitude change. Any forum I go to, somene treats me like a baby. Fuck you.

Look, first of all: I am 11, not 8. If I cannot express my opinions openly and freely, then i will leave this board. You all are like frickin Nazis, keeping me from expressing what I feel. No, LP is not my band, but they are in the top 10. I will keep this short and sweet cuz I gotta go.

Hello. This post I hope will tell people how I feel about LP, and maybe change some messed up opinions around here. Let me tell you, not everything I say in this member-by-member synopsis is going to be "OMFG LEIK LINNKKKKIN PRK IS THE SHIZZLE! THEY R LIEK SO COOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!" but I certainly do not hate them either. Now, my album reviews commence: Hybrid Theory EP: 01. Carousel: One of LP best's songs. I love the chorus. (10/10) 02. Technique: Since this is Hahn's track on the disc, "Technique" is a great name, putting a generic spelling for the turntable brand "Technic" (pronounced "Technique") on the title. (6/10) 03. Step Up: One of the Mike-only tracks LP is ever done. In the chorus, Mike proves he can sing/scream and not just rap. Meanwhile the verses and spat out as well as Eminem's. (9.5/10) 04. And One: Now we have a Chester only track. Pretty good, but not one of my favorites. What really lifts the song up is the freestyle Mike does at the end. (7/10) 05. High Voltage: My favorite LP track, hands down. This work of genius should be on LP's next album. (15/10) 06. Part of Me: I was disappointed by this song. Normally, I change the CD after HV. (5/10) Overall: 52.5/60. Thats a B. Hybrid Theory: 01. Papercut: This is what LP is all about. Hard-rocking vocals and swift guitar. If some clueless person ever asks you "what does Linkin Park sound like?" play them this. (9/10) 02. One Step Closer: Possibly LP's hardest song. I love the video, but would've been twice as good if it was at least 3:30 long. (8/10) 03. With You: I like the sool sounds that Hahn makes in the beginning, but nothing else stands out except when Chester screams "it's true/the way I feel/what's promised by your face/the sound of your voice/painted on my memories". (6/10) 04. Points of Authority: Was my persona anthem for six months of my eight-year-old life. The raps Mike do in the beginning and the bridge are great. (10/10) 05. Crawling: I used to love this song, but my friend Josh is so addicted to it, that I hear it anytime he's at my house, so for that, I'm taking off two points from it's original 8/10. (6/10) 06. Runaway: Blech. Mike should've been in this one. For spending two weeks writing this, this one really sucked. It's amazing what great writing can come from frustration, because OSC was written because Chester and Mike were throwing daily hissy fits for half a month because they couldn't think of anything for this song. Take my humble advice, and listen to OSC instead. (5/10) 7. By Myself: Holy bed-wetters, this song rocks. It probably IS LP's hardest song, OSC coming in second. I love the chorus. But I get sad whenever I listen to it, because I know that if LP is still around in 10 years, that we will never hear another song like this, becuase Chaz will ruin his voice wailing his brains out like this. (9.5) 8. In the End: Once again, terribly overplayed, but it still rocks. Listen to this one closely, and try and find Mr. Hahn's keyboards in there. They sound really good. The same four-note loop runs throughout the song, so there isn't once specific place to listen for it in. (8/10) 9. Place for My Head: Mike raps great here. Good all the way through, although the chorus doesn't really stand out. (7/10) 10. Forgotten: Almost all Mike. Not much to say, I never really likes this one. Kind of stale. (5.5/10) 11. Cure for the Itch: I never really liked the Hahn tracks, but better than "Session". (6/10) 12. Pushing Me Away: Chester has great harmonics in the verses. In the chorus, he seems to be trying a little "Eddie Vedder". (8/10) Overall: 88/120. My least favorite of all LP discs. Meteora: 01. Foreword: A nice intro, but should've been put on the beginning of don't stay, They were probably putting this on its own track for cred. (6/10) 02. Don't Stay: Love it. Great scratching by Chairman Hahn, and Chester and Mike are great. Makes you wanna jump. (10/10) 03. Somewhere I Belong: Overplayed and overrated. Doesn't even come close to my favorite LP track. (7.5/10) 04. Lying from You: I don't know why nobody else likes this. It'd a great song and once again, great sound effects from Joe. My second favorite LP song. (11/10) 05. Hit the Floor: The "By Myself" of Meteora. Fast, meaningful verses, and messed up screaming in the chorus. Almost all Mike (8/10) 06. Easier to Run: A great song. The words fit so well to the music, it's almost unbelievable that the veses came from a free-writing verse courtesy of Chazy-Chaz. Mike's little chant is great, and I love how he almost whispers the words. (10/10) 07. Faint: The club hit of the band. Bouncy, and short. The best single, in my opinion. (9.5/10) 08. Figure.09: Obviously, the boys had a hard time coming up with a name for this song. Already using the title "Part of Me", I gues they just pulled a random name out of their ass. (8/10) 09. Breaking the Habit: Good song, but I don't respect Mike's little use in the song, since he was the one who cunducted the orchestra and wrote it with no help. (8/10) 10. From the Inside: A small single, and pretty slow. Once again, I wish Mike had had a part in the chorus. (9/10) 11. Nobody's Listening: Follows the same format as "Hit the Floor", with lengthy hip-hop verses from Mike, and a chorus with alternating lines in between Chester and Mike, but nowhere near as good. (7/10) 12. Session: WTF Hahn? You are the best DJ in the world (tied with Kilmore of Incubus, of course) and all you come up with is this? Tsk tsk tsk. (5/10) 13. Numb: My second favorite of the singles, this song closes this short lived album with a bang. Mike does beautiful piano work here. (9/10) Overall: 100/130 Good, but has some weak spots. Now, my reviews of the members come into place: Chester "Chazy-Chaz" Bennington - Possibly the best screamer in ROCK ever (not metal). Very talented lyricist, and had a cool hairdo. Chester's preformance on HT EP: His voice was still maturing, therefore is not his best work, but showed emotion on "And One" that I do not think he will ever show again. Chester's preformance on HT: His best vocal performance. Songs like "Papercut" and "In the End" and chock full of his crooning. Chester's preformance on Meteora: Good. Breaking the Habit was reat. His screaming was on-key, and just with the right amount of anger. Definitely his most mature display, but not the best. What I expect Chester to do on the next album: I would like to hear more singing. Mike "the Glue" Shinoda - Also a great writer. He can play your heart strings like a harp. Mike's performance on HT EP: His angriest, and his rawest. I love "Step Up" and "High Voltage". Mike's performance on HT: Very mature, and loud. A definite improvement on the EP. Mike's performance on Meteora: Heasrtfelt, but doesn't have the sense of anger and frustration like the EP had. I wish he could go back to being like that. What I expect Mike to do on the next album: I would like faster rapping, and some more funky beats. Brad "BBB" Delson - A simple guitarist, but a good one at that. Brad's performance on HT EP: His most complicated. Let's just leave it at that. Brad's performance on HT: His most simplistic. I like the guitar, but experimenting more would be great. Brad's preformance on Meteora: More complicated, but I would still like to see something better. What I expect Brad to do on the next album: I want more complicated, intricate guitar. I'm not saying for him to go almost impossible difficult ala Slayer, but maybe get into a more deep range. "Phoenix" Farrell - A soon-to-be great bass player, just needs a little help. Phoenix' performance on HT EP: Just like Brad, it was his best. I wish the whole band could go back like they used to be. HT: apparently Phoenix wasn't with the band for this album, so I won't review him on it. Phoenix' performance on Meteora: Good, but I can sense that "pillow=thudder that wants to to be more challenged" thing going. What I expect Phoenix to do on the next album: Get a six-string bass, and use a pick. Those are the two marks of great bassists. Joseph "Chairman Hahn" Hahn - Amazing DJ, although he has much more potential that what is being used, just like the rest of the band. Joe's performance on HT EP: He doesn't have many parts, but him and Mike bring down the house on "Step Up". Joe's performance on HT: Great. Almost at his peak, but experimenting with new sound effects, and high and low notes on the turntables would make them as important to LP as the guitars. Joe's performace on Meteora: Has some great solos here. At his prime. Best on "Hit the Floor", and the many solos on "Don't Stay" were phenomenal. What I expect Joe to do on the next album: I want him to be on the songs as much as any other member. DJs have always been taken for granted, and thank god LP and Incubus came around and bitchslapped all these bands who have one for show. Linkin Park needs to live up to what they say, and Hahn, should be eager to own a song. Chester, Mike, Brad, Rob, and Phoenix are. Who's keeping him in the background? Rob Bourdon - Fast, lively drummer who could be as prolific as Joey Jordison (I hope to God you know who he is). Rob's performance on HT EP: The worst. Not good at all. couldn't keep a beat for anything. Rob's performance on HT: Better, but still not reaching his full potential. Rob's performance on Meteora: Also getting better, but he is virtually nonexistent, and the drums don't make all that big of an impact on the song. I want the band to tune down, and let the drums be heard! What I expect Rob to do on the next album: Get a twenty-piece kit with double bass drums, and I want to hear a beat twice as fast as "Faint". Yes, you heard me right. Work it. This concludes my bitchin' long summary of my views on Linkin Park.

I don't know what made me want to write a small novel of Linkin Park opinions. I guess I just had some sort of f***ed up epiphany.
