"Heavy is the Crown": This title resonates deeply, reflecting the challenges faced by both Faker and Emily. Faker contends with the immense pressure of maintaining his legacy as the greatest of all time, while Emily grapples with the overwhelming void left by Chester's absence. The parallels even extend into the lyrics, what an incredible track! 🔥
Maybe Faker puts that pressure on himself but his legacy is sealed, he is and will always be the goat of League of Legends, he is the unkillable demon king
Watching this live in London was incredible, seeing Emily live in person brought jt all together and really showed how she moulded with the rest of the band. The crowd chanted her name more than once with acceptance and the atmosphere was euphoric, one of the best days of my life 🤙🏻
I agree with you, Emily is a great fit for the band vocally. That scream was awesome. The video is also really visually interesting and just cool overall. As for the song as a whole, it's got that classic Linkin Park sound/feel and is just a banger. I love the not so subtle meaning behind the lyrics and the fact that Emily gets to scream "This is what you asked for!". After hearing two new songs off the new album, all I can say is that Linkin Park is back!!!
And I just don't get it why some people ranting against her and Mike shinoda? Sometimes people just like to hate the things that they don't understand I called those kinds of people Hypocrites
@@doctorslayer2106maybe cause she’s a Scientologist, someone who defended Danny masterson in court and harassed his SA victims, and openly mocks mental health issues.. you know, what Chester died from?
@@doctorslayer2106Fr bruh, like "Oh they're erasing Chester's memory" like Chester wouldn't want the band to move on and also just how Mike Shinoda is being set aside like he's not one of the core members of the band as well.
@@Stephanie_Rose this screams recency bias, there’s nothing about the tracks that stand out or take their sound in a new direction other than the new singer having a different yet not quite as powerful voice than Chester
@@py16667 I agree that calling these songs top ten tracks is a bit excessive, but they definitely fit in with the rest of the discography imo. The quality we've come to expect is still there.
@py16667 Hating won't bring chester back. Let people enjoy things. It could very well be someone's top 10 especially if they didn't grow up with LP like we did. She is a good edition. Time continues to move as well as the world. We all absolutely miss chester but some of you so called original fans piss me off.
There's actually gonna be 16 teams participating in the main event, 4 of which still have to qualify through a play in tournament thats happening right now out of 8 teams! In the video, the previous world champions, T1 from South-Korea, are taking on their challengers from various regions. (China, Europe, NA and south america represented here respectively) it's not a single team they're facing here, but rather a several players representing various teams. So the narrative is them defending the crown against all their new challengers.
Love your reaction! This band seriously drives the world crazy. I’ve been following them since their album release 'Living Things.' Since then, I’ve noticed that every album has its own unique sound. The most experimental one, in my opinion, was 'A Thousand Suns.' I can’t wait for their new album dropping in November. I feel like the new album will be a great follow-up to Linkin Park's legacy from their last two albums (?) not sure, but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be similar to 'Living Things' and 'The Hunting Party.' Exciting stuff!
Felt the same- after their awesome first track dropped, what I really wanted to hear was Mike’s rapping paired with Emily’s screaming. And now I know, that it is a total banger combo. And Emily’s sustained scream is as fire as it gets. None of the haters can deny her now.
As a gamer fan of acrcane series. I was grade six when i first time hearing LP now im 30yrs old dude linkin park plus league of legends is like hardcore moshpit hitting the deathwall for me my emotions is high right now i got emotional cant believe linkin park is back with new era.
Yes, i've also think the chorus is a message to Chester Bennington's fans who criticized him and the band for making the One More Light album too 'pop'. This was one of the reasons that contributed to Chester's passing. Of course, I could be wrong. But the song feels as heavy as Linkin Park's earlier work.
I love that she can do the screams, but I think personally I prefer her softer, clean vocals even more. Her vocals on the ballads she's done during the tour -- Lost and My December -- are hauntingly beautiful! I do hope there's at least one ballad on each album going forward, to showcase that.
@@ЮрийЖуравлёв-э3ч bruh stop making up reasons why a dead man took his life when he can’t be here to correct that or actually tell us, that’s so messed up. OML backlash more than likely had nothing to do with it, the band had gotten plenty of backlash in the past, & he had more than enough real reasons to be struggling like he was most of his life as many bad things happened to him that were actually significant & traumatic & they piled up at the end of his life
see a part of me was struggling not to choke up during this song. and just seeing and hearing Linkin Park moving forward and carrying the torch for Chester just man it hits a lot. and I really enjoy it. i didn’t know how i’d feel at first but after hearing it a couple of times i like it.
Great reaction! About the animation, for some context: The "kings" were the players of the last champion team of the Worlds (2023) The others were players of another teams of different regions around the world, who will try "take the crown" (the title of champions) at this Worlds (2024) All of them characterized as League of Legends characters
this song is confirmed that it's gonna be in the arcane soundtrack too!! but yeah, the song here is for the lol "world cup" that it's hosted every year. the people in the video are league players with weapons from the game and it tells the story of the best league player in the world, faker. i loved this song sm it sounds old school LP and also smt completly new. loved the reaction!! i hope i gave some context but yeah we can wait to hear it on arcane too ❤
It's a dream to me that Linkin Park are working with Riot, but for some reason, I already knew that they would make a song for Riot since their return, I swear to you. Nice react by the way, the hype is real!!!
You can thank Mike, but especially the new drummer Colin. He was a producer for Arcane’s anthem, 2017’s “Legends Never Die”. Mike also knew folks attached to the “Arcane” project, enough to be at the live premier of S1. It’s who you know, you know…?
@ Don’t be that guy. She’s made it to 11 or 12 seconds live. She’ll get there or very damn close. Even Chester didn’t do any of his screams the same way all the time. And he didn’t always hold that scream for “Given Up” the full 17 seconds either.
Rayactions, the team in the castle is T1. It is the greatest team in history with 4 world titles. Faker, the leader and one getting out of the door at the end in the video, has been in the team throughout all those championships and it is acknowledged as the GOAT of league of legends. As the last world champions, they will have to defend their titles in the next world championship so that is basically what the song is implying.
apparently according to people who seen some sort of cast list, Mike and Emily are on it as far as "artists" goes. so they'll likely remix this song for Arcane S2. this video looking like Arcane is definitely not coincidental if that is the case imo.
Heavy certainly is the crown. Both for League and LP. Yes, the King is dead and we miss him. But goddamn long live the Queen! (Also, as a note, this was INCREDIBLE live.)
7:15 It's not just two teams, it's *ALL* the teams. That's what the final shot showed: the legions of people fighting to reach the "castle" and challenge the defending champions.
I waited for you to put out the reaction video for this song and yours was the first video I watched about this new LP song, I haven't even watched the official video yet but seeing it here on your channel this song slaps. I'm so glad to see you excited about this song and your giddiness about it is what makes your reaction even better, look who's fan girling lol (that's you Rachael 😊). You're reaction was great and so fun, keep up the good work. Big hugs 🤗
Rayactions, if you haven’t already, you should really REALLY consider reacting to Numb. *Arguably* LP’s best song ever imo and from 100% of the reactions I’ve seen so far of people that have watched it. Please if you can do so I promise you won’t be disappointed both vocally and in terms of the theme of the video. It’s deep.
Cool to see you again, it's been a while and i miss your BabyMetal reactions, next month they will start a new tour in America and i can't wait for it. I saw the fancam of the live premiere at Germany and she sounds awesome, I'm not so into LoL thou but it seems they put some famous pro players in this animated mv.🤘🔥
The new album title (From Zero) is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, it’s the old band name, prior to being LP (but spelled Xero). I’m all for a good word pun. That said, Mike and Co. know what they’re doing. It helps enormously that so much of what LP did 20 years ago is still relevant today. The 20th anniversary of Meteora was no joke, especially with the release of “Lost”. Mike took notes. New vocalist has you dreaming of picking up the crown again? Start with what worked, build from there. Genius!
I feel like that scream was her version of a Chester 17 second scream and she killed it she’s so amazing and I think the right fans will come so I’d gladly brush the negative LP fans in the past and this is a new era with a new version of LP and new era of style of music for LP so as long as they focus on them and don’t worry about certain fans opinions they will be great
OK see this is what I was talking about. This is what they needed to do for a hit. I think this is a hit. I was skeptical at first but now I'm not. I was scared that they were going to be the same Linkin park that was for chester for this new singer. What they did here was be what they needed to be, a new band, new sound for her that fits her.
Someone else who has a really powerful voice, you may or may not be familiar with her already but Lauren Hart from Once Human - check out Deadlock feat. Robert Flynn (half of Once Human was originally in Machinehead, it's one of those).
i think its called cell shading the style. it looks like an advert for a world championship in league of legends. and its all full awesome mode! had to buy the song after i saw it.
i listened to the track. its very good up there on par with other linkin park top songs. in my opinion. league is lucky to have gotten linkin park on their promo.
Was really confused why it looked like Arcane for a moment until I remembered this is for the League of Legends tournament and Arcane is from that game.
That scream was literally this is what you asked for.
Literally!!!!
@@Nicothomas17 its more than what we asked for 🤩👑
finally someone spoke my heart

wow that's amazing
It really is awesome how the lyrics apply to both the LP and the LoL situation. Mike is super clever and the song is an absolute banger.
Maybe Faker puts that pressure on himself but his legacy is sealed, he is and will always be the goat of League of Legends, he is the unkillable demon king
it sucks because worlds mv has been existed for winner of worlds until now but this mv is for new vocal of LP that is not related with worlds 2023.
Yes!! I thought exactly the same. And this part at 6:08 is so fucking amazing cause' of that 🔥🔥🔥
Watching this live in London was incredible, seeing Emily live in person brought jt all together and really showed how she moulded with the rest of the band. The crowd chanted her name more than once with acceptance and the atmosphere was euphoric, one of the best days of my life 🤙🏻
That massive scream perfectly sets up Faker's entrance. Love everything about this.
At the show in London, Emily jokingly collapsed onto her back after holding the long scream in the middle of the song. 😂
I thought she did haha I thought I was seeing things 😂
Next show, they should bring a mattress onstage so she can rest during the song after this 😂
that's per usual for her, she does that a lot in Dead Sara
@@Dexiray I know. I have a running joke with a few friends that on the final show of the tour, Colin’s drums are toast. If you know, you know… 🤣

literally was at their London concert yesterday, she was insanely good. Trust me, she is the one 🎉
yeah, i was there too and you are 100% correct

Her league design is so sick I love the stage design as well it’s so sick
Reminds me of Nahiri from Magic the Gathering a bit. Especially her Forged in Fury art.
This Is what you wait for : "insane scream "
Is like she said : yes i can scream now can we move on and do our things? "
The fact she pulled off the scream live with only a couple of seconds shorter than the studio version is EPIC. GO GIRL!

Heavy is the crown. Being a leader isn't easy is my takeaway....
I really love your informed intellect!
This new face of band came to blow up your minds!
Hey, your intuition was completely right. The song was also confirmed to be on the Arcane Soundtrack. It was one of the hidden tracks. 😜🤘
LP videos have always been so awesome... I think we're going to see a lot more of Brad, Joe and Mike collaborating with the new music.
this song is so oldschool LP - it is freaking awesome, by far my most favorite song from the album

I don't know why but I have the feeling that I heard that phrase before "heavy is the crown" (in Linkin Park 's lyrics)
rumor is that scream was purposely cut 2 seconds before Chester's longest scream as an homage to him
Emily's scream with the entry of the God of league of legends faker is something which can't be explained ❤🔥🔥🔥
*she so good*
Faint + breaking the habbit = heavy is the crown 🔥🔥

I do hope a snippet of this song makes it into Arcane!

The crown is heavy, but these first 2 songs are promising that she can wear it.
holding that scream for 15+ seconds, longer than most of her haters last in bed

Faker's Crown is indeed heavy
Emily on heavy is the crown in live concert sounds like the same in this video
Riot Games Never Dissapoint
Its gonna be in Arcane!
For more crown symbology, Metallica's song 'King Nothing'.
Emily to haters: *You thought I wasn't worthy enough, huh?*
I literally laughed at Emptiness Machine. Im no longer laughing. Ive never 180d so hard in my life
They ended with the player named Faker, also known as the Unkillable Demon King. The winningest player in League of Legends history.
Chester's scream: pain
Emily's scream: rage
This is what you asked FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
You gotta listen to daughtry heavy is the crown!
