What Element Got You Into LP?

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

We all know LP isn't just one genre. Well most bands aren't... but anyway.

 

Was it the rap/hiphop influence?

The rock?

Any other element that they put into their music?

 

What part of LP made you go, "Hey, I really like that!" ?

 

For me, it was mostly the rock.

[Vash_the_Stampede]

The rock, as well as the blending of the rock with the hip-hop side of them.

[allieking]

the rock mailny but it was also that they are completly diffrent than any other band around, as soon as you hear an LP song you know its them.

mainly the rock,but the hip-hop side kept me interested

[Friðbjörn]

At first it was the rock. Their cool riffs mostly. Then I got into them for fusing rap with rock, and later I fell for the depth of their lyrics. For me it was basicly a lot of things.

[Stenners]

The hip hop side made them more approachable for me, but I stay for the rock

[waiting4thesun]

I think for me it was the fact that they aren't like any other band. There are bands that sound similar to them (not many...), but no one is just like them. That, along with the hiphop/rock combo, made me love them instantly.

mainly the rock. im new on here so sorry i dont know many people

[climbtree]

I like how they teamed up with Jay Z.

 

Jay Z is the best guy ever!

[Dark Collision]

Well I've never heard rap and rock mixed together in one song before. I've listened to rap and hip-hop all my life. When I first heard Linkin Park, it was totally something new to me. I thought it was awesome and I wanted to hear more of LP's unique sound. Then they eventually got me into rock music.

[shadowfax1007]

i love the rock and the unique style to lp's music

[LP Expert Soldier]

I'd say the rock side rocks more, but the rap/hip-hop side is also cool

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

I like Chesters singing ALOT, which is probably what got me into the band. I guess it's the rock side, but I also love mikes verses. Plus their fusion of music is something I haven't heard of before =)

Well I first heard LP in Art when we had to do patterns to different types of music, at first i thought the track was "Beneath My Skin - Sum 41" (actually Papercut - LP), I don't know how i mistaked them for Sum 41. A while after i bought Hybrid Theory and heard One Step Closer, then bought Meteora and got Reanimation..... then i just grew on them...

[twilightcrimson7]

I just loved the mix of everything. the first song I heard was In the End, so I loved the unique blending of vocals, rock-esque sound, piano, and rap, it just sounded so unique. Plus the lyrics really hooked me!

[Heart_LP]

I saw ITE and I fell in love

[shingo]

i would have to say the rock .... :thumbsup:

[aloneme]

The first song ,that I heard from LP ,was In the end.I said WOW.It was cool .The combination of rap ,rock ,metal...It is cool.So ,I don´t have favourite part of LP songs.But I love ,when Chester is shouting and Mike is rapping just at this moment.We can´t forget other parts of band.Mr. Hahn perfectly control his instruments.Brad and Phoenix are great guitarists and Rob is cool with drums.

 

I love every part of Linkin Park.

[waiting4thesun]

To add to my previous comment, I also love the sound of Chester's voice. Now, I'm a guy and completely straight, but still. He has a phenomenal voice. I agree with aloneme, when chester screams/sings and mike raps, it freakin' rocks.

[Cyro]

Thier unique sound really got me interested. When I heard the keyboard intro for Crawling the first time, I thought it was really cool. Then when I heard Mike's little rap thing before Chester's chorus I knew I liked them.

[Jeezy]

I am fascinated by Chesters voice he shouts like no other but he's also a great singer with deep lyrics. Just the best, but I think Y' all know that.

[Wuzzie]

I was quite young when I first heard any LP music. I liked it for the rock side (although teh first song of thiers I ever heard was Session) And I didn't even relize that it was Rock AND rap.

This was my original LP collection, which my brother downloaded because he liked the music, and now that I listen to it so much, he hates anything to do with LP...

-Papercut

-In The End

-From The Inside

-Somewhere I Belong

-Faint

-Numb

 

Then I got CC, then Meteora, Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, Hybrid Theory EP, and all the other stuff...

 

Now I am waiting patiently untill the next album

[By_My-elf]

The element I don't know what that means but I always liked them cause of

their DJ I love them from that cause of the way they made their beats

[djwakka]

Definetly the way Linkin Park mixxed the art of rhyme performed by Shinoda and the unique, creative, and original turntablism of Joe Hahn into their rock rhythms backed up by Bennington's vocals really is what turned me on.

 

A lot of times, they seem overplayed but nevertheless, you can't deny that they remain a rare breed of music.
