“Drummer Colin Brittain is also joining the band, which includes original members Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Phoenix and Brad Delson. Brittain has been a songwriter and producer for G Flip, Illenium and One OK Rock.
“The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created,” Shinoda said in the news release. “We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energized new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”
So there’s a lot of good and bad talk going around about the new singer of LINKIN PARK, Emily Armstrong. And I have a lot to say about this.
First off, I am a huge fan of LINKIN PARK from the very beginning, and I know that no one can fill in Chester Bennington‘s shoes or even replace them. Chester will always be a legend among rockstars in the Rock Hall of Fame. He paved a huge road for a lot of rock artists, and so many bands have done so many covers for a lot of his songs, but no one will be as good as him.
However, Mike Shinoda and Chester were brothers and Mike had been in the dark for seven long years after the lose of his brother. Mike and the other members of the band had lot of weight on their shoulders on whether or not to continue LINKIN PARK or end it. That is a heavy burden for them. Mike wants to continue Chester’s Legacy, so let him do it! As fans let’s support him in making this big decision. Yes, they will never sound the same again, but Mike trusts Emily to continue Chester’s Legacy and hold that burden. She is a very talented vocalist, I have seen their performance. If Mike has faith and hope in Emily and the future of linkin Park, we as fans should support her even if she does it in her own style. Like I said I saw the first performance and I thought she killed it. She is a powerful and emotional singer that can move mountains. I hope that one day I can see them live. So let’s stand together as true Linkin Park fans and see what she can do. ROCK ON EMILY ROCK ON CHESTER FROM ABOVE AND ROCK ON LINKIN PARK!!! Also took this picture from a previous persons post cause I love the comparison.
