The Linkin Park Fanbase is imploding!

[HaziLPTonz]

there really isnt much to understand when 90% is roughly cursing his red neck face off or dissing other members of this forum, which is completely uncalled for.

 

i think it was good LP cameout with a different sound, well apparently, i havnt heard the alb yet, cause yer, like said above, another HT/meteora coulda easily spelled the end of LP, plus if we dont get the fans dissing the fact that they changed sounds, we wouolda had fans dissing the fact LP are still using the same sounds and such and we wouldnt have a fair influx of new fans and a good point of discussion. give up and WID have definately grown on me...well live anyways, we ll see how the album stacks up

[GraDoN]

wow that is sad because LPU sucked back in like 4.0 really bad

 

this is just like after Korn changed there sound to less hateful music people got pissed o well w/e there opion

 

anyway if LP would have released another HT sounding album it would be over it wouldn't sell great, would get bad reviews, and end of LP contract with record label and they dissapear like Limp Bizkit of into the sunset where no1 cares

yip LP is in a tight spot cause some people were saying they suck cause they can only do one type of song with a dj doing most of the work. now they do stuff where phoenix and brad do alot more and now the people say its too different

but thats life for a changing band

good thing i love the new LP

Yeah I agree :-P I knew this was gonna happen for a long time, and I was right But then again by what I've seen in some people's reviews on here... A lot are starting to take in their new mature sound in life.

What the hell is happening peoples? We are turning on each other, LP.com forums are falling apart, with people dissing Lp on their own boards.Same with LPF, people are starting to argue with each other just because MTM dosent suit their personal prefferance. Now MTM is not that bad! Its know MT, or HT but its still LP, so get used to it. Now I like LP because they were different, they have done things that know one else could comprehend, JZ/LP for example. And then when thing were to good to be true they made lies, all the controvesy surrouding HT and around then. Yes, nu-metal made LP and LP helped make nu-metal, and yes they are changing because times are changing. But if you look at todays band, eg: the ones Lp are touring with on PR07, they are all "today's style" not all necessaraly EMO, but jus like todays nu-metal, well anyways, LP amongst them are still differant even in their new form. And maybe LP have reached their peak, but im not going to abbandon them. They are still great and i admire them in every respect because they are great.

 

"It's pretty much a general statement directed at people who whine about their favorite band changing. I guess that would apply to some of the people in this thread. Don't get me wrong it's happened to me too. I use to complain that my favorite band had changed and I didn't like it. But eventually I realized their is no point in complaining about them changing because they're going to do what they want to do. I came to respect that and moved on. It's so easy to move on and just listen to somebody else and just listen to albums by them you liked. I just don't get why people want cloned albums and songs. Bands will change over time it's unavoidable. It gets boring when all the songs sound the same and such. It's like they do exactly their fans want. Make one good album then make another album and another that sound just like it. But then you have some change and people have a hysterical fit. They can't stand the idea of it being "DIFFERENT" as "DIFFERENT" suddenly equals "BAD." They're not going to make music they don't like anymore. They make the music they want to make for themselves. How would you like it if somebody made you do the exact some thing over and over again? They're not products to be sold they're musicians, they're people. They get bored and want to try new things just like you. Not all bands have pop ideology, "oh we're just going to make what our fans like and that's it." At least they aren't scared to try new things. I'll at least give them that. Whether I like it or not it's better then a 10 albums of "Crawlin' in my skin." But like I'm saying the best thing to do as at the very least wait until the album actually is released then talk about how different it is. I mean I don't even think they've released any singles for it yet. But in any case as I said in my previous post. If you don't like their new direction go listen to somebody else. Simple as that. It's much more productive then going around complaining about it, because the people do like it don't want to hear about how much the new album sucks and how much you don't like it. I wouldn't mind if people actually would intelligently conveyed that they don't like it. But all they know how to say is "ThIs Album suckS or it's eMo or gay." I'm hoping Armageddon doesn't start when Linkin Park releases their new album but something tells me it's going to happen anyway no matter how much I hope."

 

 

I posted this on February 17, 2007. From what you're saying it seems like my prediction has come true. Honestly, I'm not surprised I figured the fans would go bonkers anyway.

Amen!

 

LOL "Linkin Park are so Emo and gay".

So immature not meaning you xXMelancholiaXx

[LPShinodaFM]

Exactly.

 

I mean if you're not able to accept the fact that Linkin Park has changed, and that whining isn't going to change anything, and if you can't understand WHY they have changed...

 

Too bad.

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

Exactly.

I agree, do we really need the swearing you guys? C'mon grow up a little. I'm sure a couple of people would agree on that. If people don't like it, then stop complaining and get on with your lifes! It's just another album! I'm sure theirs going to be at least another 2 - 3 from Linkin Park coming out! :-P

[BlackHeart]

yeah I do think the fanbase is imploding, the LPU and LPMB are fucking chaos now

 

the LPMB is chaos, but the LPU is pretty decent right now i think. btw, isn't this the exact same thing that happened with Meteora?

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

Yeah probably :-P

[Friðbjörn]

Stop complaining? I think the people that don't like the album are allowed to voice their opinion. Not all have done it maturely, but they can have their opinion nonetheless.

[HaziLPTonz]

im sure if they dont like im sure they can voice their opinions...im all for "free speech"...but when you get pointless posts from a moron who doesnt even know who chester is when hes bleating about how much he knows about LP, baggin the new album with not so much as a reason other than..."the lead singer is emo" or "this sounds stupid", it just doesnt cut it.

 

when one person doesnt like an album, there are plenty of others who are digging it, well i wont be digging it for awhile...may 29th when amazon ships me the special edition because HMV australia doesnt shift the special edition for some reason....so i dont get a free tshirt AND i had to order online...on the plus side i got a gift card for free...

sorry i just swear a lot

[GraDoN]

LPMB is still chaos? lol lemme register and see for myself

ya lpu is better now but there are still newbs making randoms theads about "MTM FAILS" and shit like that

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

It's been ok here probably cuz we are on the best forum ever! lol

[HaziLPTonz]

we re certainly the most open minded/peaceful out of the other forums

 

from what i can see the opinions are REALLY fluctuating from this is great album to shit album

 

i cant personally vouch for it...but yer. least we dont get noobs spamming the forum with MTM comments...

[Peterdea]

i facking hate people who spam the facking forums all the facking time...

...

Anyway,

i havnt listened to MTM for a few days, im pretty much meant to listen to it heaps so i can say to my cousen everything i notice in each song before he hears it... I just can't do it, the album doesnt keep me interested long enough. It probably could have grown on me if it wasn't so easy to ignore

[BlackHeart]

which is why i don't bother with the LPMB. the LPU is pretty good, though. there are a couple theads like that, but not many.

[xXMelancholiaXx]

I agree, do we really need the swearing you guys?

Sometimes swearing is necessary.

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

Sometimes swearing is necessary.

Yeah I know, but we don't need it all over the forums you know. There's much better words you can use to express yourself... It's not like your gonna go up to your boss at work and say his a "Fucking Idiot" now are we? :-P

[Peterdea]

well that jsut depends on what job you have doesnt it

[HaziLPTonz]

i spose for some of us swearing just becomes a habit...

 

*shrugs* i spose ur just gonna hafta deal with the occasional f-bomb, but i mean ur pushing it when every 2nd word is a swear word ahaha
