No I don't care about her personal life her beliefs or any of that she sucks as a vocalist you can make anybody sound good in a studio but she can't do live for shit
Screw the critics. LP didn't "replace" Chester. And they never could. But their sound had a void, and they needed to fill it. Emily does an awesome job and Chester would likely approve.
Yes, but, you should make a new band and create your own music. Make something separate from what one person has done, anything than reanimating a carcass. We wouldn’t ever know what Chester wanted, and we only know what was sold to us. If we knew him more than we would’ve understood why he took his life.
@@Spartan13J "Could have" made a new band. Not necessarily "should have". Some bands do start over with a new lineup and a new name. Others continue on and hire new members. If it doesn't work....ticket & album sales will show it.
@@Spartan13Jlinkin park was a band and Chester was the singer of it. He died and band grieved him enough. They need to continue forward with the band why would they put all the work they have done and all the songs they have written to the trash because of the passing of their vocals.
@@ShadœwYTso we should just forget and throw away the contributions of everyone else because the head isn’t there. That makes no sense they also have ownership of the band and it’s name
I love how there are fans calling them Chester's songs when oh that's right there's five other people who wrote the songs as well. I almost idolized Chester through my adult years and his vocals but I love the band as a whole and the fact that they found someone to continue on the Legacy that Chester started is great and I'm glad they're returning
My thought exactly. Cheater dying still brings literal tears to my eyes... But should his choice that day define the future for all those he left behind? Should they just stop making music? There have been a few prominent bands that lost their lead singer but still found a way to move on...ac/DC, van Halen, lynard skinner, queen... Just to name a few
He does an impeccable job and hits those grooves perfectly, something that would have been hard to replicate for most drummers. There is emotion in drumming and I expected them to feel hollow with someone else in that position but nope, proved me very wrong. However, I'm sure he's glad he's not in the limelight with everything going on around Emily. To a drummer, not being talked about is one of the best feelings, it means you're doing an awesome job blending 🙂

@@Spartan13J and if they did that ppl would´ve criticize saying that was bad because they should've continue with the same band to honor chester some how. My point is you can´t make everyone happy there is and will always be ppl who is going to criticize others.......
I feel horrible for Mike. Chester was like a brother to him, no one will understand how much Chester means to Mike, and to have to listen to people say things like "Mike is trying to erase Chester" or "Mike only does it for the money". They waited 7 WHOLE YEARS before finding a replacement. No one is trying to erase Chester. Chester was their best friend and brother and he meant more to them than to anyone else in this world. They waited for the wound from Chester's passing to heal a little, they gave everyone the necessary time. People love Linkin Park and they don't want to see this band fall apart. The remaining members of Linkin Park are still young and want to make music and we want to hear their music. I'm happy they found a new singer and are still going after losing such a big part of their life and band, being Chester. Chester would have wanted them to keep rocking and the people who are harassing Linkin Park and think they are "Defending Chester" are only hurting him too.
Finally. A person with a brain. These "fans" are only hurting the band who have lost not just their bandmate, but their family as well. They gave themselves and the fans almost a decade to grieve and recover. Now the band wants to make music again and Emily is just a new chapter of LP. Emily isn't Chester, never will be. Nobody could ever be Chester again, and that's okay. Give her a chance, and let's see what LP has in store for us this go round.
Mike didn't really like Chester at the end and they even had some fuss so telling that he was great friends with him is a big stretch. 😂 We defend Chester and even chesters family have been spoken about it that they did not like it.
@@superwin9000 yeah, Linkin Park members don't understand, and LP real fans don't understand. Only you and all the "GOD Chester" cult members understand. I'm sorry if I'm rude but you're disrespecting many fans and LP members by saying "You don't understand", like we all are stupid and our opinions are nothing and only you know what is right to do.
@@4rMain I watched an interview recently and my perspective has changed, I'm not a "cult member" lol I just don't like change that's how I am but its just a pair of me that wishes its Chester but this is a new era of LP.
dude that one was a bad song. the start was fire as fk! why does she need to growl ? there are so many things that she couldve done, but then again there are so many things that have come up. she is not right for lp stop just being okey with it. i know for me who cares what fans say, but isnt it the fans that got them there ? not saying there arnt bad fans but you got to see where they are coming from, its not replacing its about where the singer sings from. and i dont like her but i wont go out of my way to hate. i will just say what i want to see and hear. not hating.
I'll bet "Linkin Park" fans only ever think of Hybrid Theory and Meteora and completely ignore the 4 or 5 other albums they put out that sound drastically different from each other. The Emptiness Machine undoubtedly sounds like modern Linkin Park.
People arguing about sound or style, I don't care about. Something else I don't care about, anything LP makes moving forward. (And I've liked every single album, even OML) There's a whole lot of lashing out at people FOR not liking it. People getting REAL defensive. If it's bad then it's just bad. I'm sure they'll do fine and make plenty more money. But it's always going to be the great value version to most people. And I agree 🤷 but all of these comments are getting so defensive about specific things and reasons that don't apply to 90% of the people that dislike the new stuff. It's like you're all defending the complete wrong wall. We're on the other side of the city guys. You're just yelling at 5% of the people over there. Figure out the real reason why I don't care. And defend THAT if you'd like. It immediately turned into "you're sexist and mean and gatekeeping" like IMMEDIATELY. We aren't over there. Come defend this wall over here if you want.
@@CycleOfJudges so what you’re saying is that you want people to read your mind through the internet? If it’s not that, then the message you’re trying to convey is too ambiguous.
@@Sizhui-mg6hc I'm not trying to convey anything or make any point about new singer or music. Which is half the point I guess lol. I have an opinion about it, and I just don't listen to the new stuff. That's the majority. Everyone that wants to go argue and get pissy on Twitter, those are the people that you're seeing. That's why everyone else like you gets defensive. It's the vocal minority that you're fighting. Most of us just don't like it, and move on.
@@CycleOfJudges Except you're not moving on are you? You're here in the comment section airing your two cents the same as everyone else. If you truly didn't give a fuck, you wouldn't be here, this video wouldn't have any concern to you at all.
Emily proved herself and payed mad respect to Chester in her 16.02 sec scream of their brand new song "Heavy is the Crown". For those who don't know, rumor is she purposefully ended an entire sec before Chester in his "giving up" scream at 17.02. I think Chester would be very proud! 🤘🫡
The entitlement of saying “Chester was Linkin Park”. No he wasn’t. Technically speaking, the creative core of LP is more Mike, considering he’s the main composer and songwriter for the band. Like, there’s a chance every single song you loved hearing Chester sing was actually written and produced by Mike. Give me a break.
Cheater almost killed Linkin Park. This woman helped brint it back and most OG fans are happy, cause Linkin Park has a much greater significance to us than just the particular people involved.
💯 Chester was the last member to join Linkin park. I get it, he was one of the front mans of the band but still like what you said it wouldn’t be Linkin park without Mike. He is the producer of the band
So many people forget that Chester is not even a founding member. The founding members of Linkin Park(Originally called Xero, later called Hybrid Theory and finally called Linkin Park) are Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon. Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, Mark Wakefield(Singer) later joined up. Chester didn't join until 1999. Yes, Chester is a great singer, but the band CAN and WILL exist without Chester. I thought Emily did a good job.
I wonder how "these people" feel about Brian Johnson replacing Bon Scott in ACDC? Give me a break. The band has every right to keep pushing forward. You may not like their decision but it's there lives, there career and their decision. The best thing Emily could do is ignore the blowhard Internet keyboard warriors. They'll whine about anything.
I can feel both that she can sing, and sounds good with new stuff, but also I do not like her singing old stuff. Both things can be true, without trashing her personally.
like how you are, right now. wow ppl are dumb... and also fuck Linkin park now.. its not even a band that ppl love or grew up with anymore. they should have changed the name..
People start talking good about you only when you are dead. We have literally let Chester die in front of our eyes and even sad, we haven't learnt nothing from it doing this to Emily. I miss Chester too, the old songs don't sound the same anymore, but Emily in a so short time is kickin asses with the new ones. As Mike said, WE are replacing Chester, singing togheter with the band, not Emily. She's not a replacement, she's a new member.
@@MoxieBuns yes but at first it was like 1 missing piece to the puzzle and starting a new puzzle made sense because you can never find that missing piece no matter how hard you try but it is what it is
@@superwin9000 Why didn't AC-DC change their name? Why didn't Leonard Skynyrd change their name? The name is a brand you don't change your brand simply because someone dies. If you no longer like the brand buy a new one and enjoy the product you already got.
@@TheHalofivebroken that’s old news, I’m not gonna compare 2 different generations and genre, if you like the band then that good, not everyone has to agree.
Stop this vile hatred towards Emily. She is not trying to replace Chester. She is trying to do the job she was hired to do, just as anyone would. That job is to be Linkin Parks singer. LP could have died with Chester. They did not. Emily is the best thing that could have happened to them. She was the perfect choice for this band. If you don’t like it, leave.
Honestly Emily its great for Linkin Park. I loved Chester to bits and miss him every day, but the band shouldn't be forced to stop because of this unfortunate event. Its their life and they have every right to move forward ❤️ and I have a guess that this album coming out will be amazing
The people hating on her are the same guys who called Linkin Park a sell out band just doing mainstream music back in the days. To be fair I also didn‘t enjoy many songs but I could never imagine to blame a band which gave me so much over the years especially in hard times and which decides to try a new direction. I‘m fully supporting the new Linkin Park!
@@ssrrss321 It's a tragic situation, I hope at one day she also can find her peace with everything. I still don't see a point in hating because of personal feelings. Don't get me wrong it's obviously very sad what happend, but bad feelings should never overcome your actions. It's still their decision if they want to move on and nobody tries to "erase" Chester from anything. These are facts.
With her and maybe a new direction i might actually start listening to them but i do understand if fans want them to keep the same music style (even tho i really don‘t understand why so many ppl like nu-metal/punk/rock)
You absolutely would not have ever even heard Linkin Park if Chester hadn't been the singer. No one would have. Elvis did not write any of his own songs and he changed music forever. Get a better opinion.
Idk. Hard to say just how much of LPs success in getting known was because of Chester. I mean Crawling and the video for Crawling was really impactful because of the meaning and how it related so much to Chester's story and his vocals really sell that story. Sure Numb is one of the most popular songs but it still feels a lot of that is owed to Chester for how and why it (and the band) was so popular at that point. I'm not knocking the new sound and the singer is really great but it is really hard for me to personally get behind it when we don't have that same story behind it with the new singer. And of course I mean I find it really hard to get behind someone who doesn't believe mental illness is real/believes in Scientology. Mental health is like the forefront and message/meanings behind so much of LP so it doesn't make sense. Again, I think the sound is great and all but it truly isn't all that impactful as it was with Chester. They may not be written by Chester but he was an inspiration for the lyrics as well as the band's evolution over time/his own evolution.
I love LP and I love Chester. That said, leave Emily alone. Bands evolve. She shouldn't be looked as replacing anyone because you can't. You start with where you are at and move forward. Haters gonna hate. They should just turn off and not listen if they don't want to hear LP's new stuff.
@@ssrrss321 You don't have to like her as the new vocalist, just be grateful they're still making music and moving forward with their music career. And saying she's bad at her job is a pretty bold claim to make. I bet her and the band are able to fill entire concerts and garner more success and fans as time goes on.
@@ssrrss321 Bad at her job LMFAO. Opinions are like butt holes and I'm pretty sure all the people buying tickets to see the new LP don't share your opinion. Nor all the people who put in requests to radio stations to hear them. You crake me up.
You cannot deny that when you heard The Emptiness Machine it is not Linkin Park. This is Linkin Park. I am a music producer for 15 years and I tell you the sounds the rhythm, the lyrics, the mix, it "Screams" Linkin Park. Of course Chester is irreplaceable but adding Emily gives new directions with same vibe.
Your 15 years of music production doesn't reflect other people's opinions, it just reflects yours so it really doesn't matter if you've been producing music (we don't even know what kind of music), it's each to their own taste my guy.
I'm a true Linkin park fan been listing to them since they debut and got me through 3 deployments. I so glad they got someone that truly inbodies Linkin park
Holy shit that’s insane how I was going along with it and then I read your comment and I was like yeah since when does Eminem make comments like that, thank you

Bro Eminem and Linkin Park STOOD for rap and rock correspondingly in the 00s. The first CD I've bought has been their MP3 discographies, Eminem and Linkin Park on one disk
@@Mic1904 just be honest with yourself non all the people loves LP getting back in this way... Not everyone needs to love Emily Armstrong...

I am not the only one who feels this is not the music that I love... I don't like how it sounds and I have the right to say and choose what I am going to listen... If all the things you said are truth why my opinion hits you that bad???... I am not the only one...
How do you replace someone who is dead? I miss Chester but what else were they going to do? Let the band die too? They went ahead and found someone with amazing vocals. The supposed "fans" who are hating on her are just too attached to the past.
I heard her a few days ago she blew my mind away when she screamed Chester would be super proud that his legacy isn’t dead and she is honoring him singing in the band.
@@superwin9000 A new band with the same members is still the same band with a new name. We all make mistakes Chester of all people would understand he made a fair few in his fucking life. By al means he wasn't a saint.

@@MoxieBuns why does nobody respond when I start to agree with people? is the world really that messed up when yall only concerned about disagreeing???
0:32 …and they are tarnishing his legacy. Ultimately Linkin Park decides what happens to Linkin Park. I get it, what Chester achieved by breathing his soul into the songs can never be done again. But Emily is not even given a chance. Time after time we have to let go of artist who moved us, changed peoples lives one way or another. Grieve them and remember them….honor them. But not by bullying. Some people need to listen to Linkin Park some more.
Seriously they’d rather see his legacy forgotten than carried on by someone who has literally said she listened to lp before she could even sing and was inspired to learn by him. She’s not trying to be him or replace him, she’s trying to honor his legacy and carry it forward.
The hate for her is like someone hating their stepmother just because she isnt their mother. She can still do a good job, and she can still be a good step mother. Doesnt mean shes trying to replace anyone, just be a new figure in moving in with life after tragedy. Linkin Park is rich enough, they dont need money, they just want to play again, and I think the new songs with Emily are good. The only old one she nailed was papercut, and I think they should stick to the new stuff with her.
Obviously LP never would have reached these heights without Chester. Mike Shinoda was the creative & driving force behind LP, similar to how Jerry Cantrell is the creative & driving force behind Alice in Chains. Fans are always looking for a reason to be “ outraged “. were the same Chester fans outraged when Chester replaced an iconic singer named Scott Weiland in Stone Temple Pilots? I doubt it. They probably told the angry STP fans to stop crying. Chester will always be the singer of LP, the band staying together and continuing on is what will keep his legacy alive.
im stopping at "fans who slammed". fans of what actually? did they even contribute something to the band and feel have the right to give their stupid thoughts? im 35 yo right now. Linkin Park is my first love when im at the junior high. bought the debut Hybrid Theory album, the Deluxe Version with the bonus track too. then Reanimation, Meteora comes next. everything is still in a cassette tape format. then bought my first CD format when Minutes to Midnight was released. late purchased on Live in Texas DVD. even bought the Collision Course with Jay-Z. A Thousand Suns then Living Things too. stopped buying when there's Spotify streaming service. so, no The Hunting Party and One More Light album for me. got shocked when Chester's tragic incident happened in 2017. post-baby phase, there were two times i've been crying hard. when my mother got sick (a heavy one) & this one. Emily came as heavenly news for me. SHE WILL NOT REPLACE CHESTER! BUT SHE CAN SING & SCREAM ON HER OWN & STAND SAME AS HIGH AS THE OTHERS. im surely believe that's not an easy part for the other members. see Rob's decision to quit the band. that's sad & made another heartbreak for me. but they were determined to carry on regardless. so why don't we?
She is not the problem; the Gen-Z fans are the issue. I've been saying this for years, even before Chester's passing. I genuinely believe that the band could fart into a microphone, add a delay effect, and the Gen-Z fans would still be like, 'OMG, you guys! I'm totally crying right now; this is the best song ever!' You are the most frustrating bunch, I swear.
"I genuinely believe that the band could fart into a microphone, add a delay effect, and the Gen-Z fans would still be like, 'OMG, you guys! " Oh, sugar, that comment had me rolling.."fart into a microphone..." You are too cynical of GenZ, eh? LMAOOOOO!!!!!!
Thats awesome that Marshall is defending Emily, never thought it would get this bad for her that a rapper had jump in and say how crazy it is that after one person says something horrible about Emily, others join in too
When people say that its like they are trying to get rid of Chesters legacy and etc etc, I can't help but facepalm. His legacy is fine. Its secure and isn't going anywhere. People acting like they are actively removing all records and mentions of him and the stuff he was involved in. Also, that comment about Emily riding Eminems "coattails for attention" is stupid. HE LEFT A COMMENT FIRST. You telling me that its wrong to reply nowdays? People these days need to grow up and be less stupid.
Emily is a fantastic singer. She fits in perfectly, allowing the success of Linkin Park to continue. The critics should move on, and if they don't like her, then listen to something else instead. It's happening like it or not...
She’s doing a great job Chester would be proud of what this sounds like. Music is fluid egos are just that personal thoughts that means shit . These people are so smart just step up to the plate and sing or shit the f up
Agreed, a new chapter for Linkin Park is starting. We will never forget Chester's legacy with Linkin Park. But that doesn't mean Linkin Park shouldn't move on, and I think Emily will be able to carry that role as the new singer. Think about it, this is Mike Shinoda we're talking about.. He won't just pick a singer that he knows won't be able to live up to Chester's legacy. Mike is a musical genius, and I trust he chose the right singer for this role.
Give her a break I mean Chester has been gone for a long time now plus,Mike was very graceful and waiting a long time to get a new singer no one can take Chesters place he is irreplaceable but, she is awesome she rocks! Time for a new beginning
Emily is NOT her replacement!! She is respecting his music and paying tribute to his legacy!! Ppl need to shut the f#$k up and relax, making a huge deal out of stupid crap. If you love Linkin Park, give them the support they deserve, not the opposite, such crap!!
Thank you, people milk this stupid shit for so long and assume so much, going as far as calling her a rapist supporter just for being associated with someone. That’s like calling anyone who ever met Jeffery Epstein a pedophile like it’s that black and white.
so is supporting a disrespectful band group that calls them something, that they are not anymore.. This Isnt Linkin park. so stop acting like its going to be. ppl like you are the reason ppl like me, are talk even more shit. because its NOT LINKING PARK.. thats just a fuckin fact. if you DONT like it. then dont type. PERIOD!
It’s simple. She is not a replacement. It’s not erasing the past. It’s the next step to a new chapter. Emily is fantastic and keyboard warriors need to stop being the vocal minority of hating on her while the silent majority is just “yay!l”
Crazy we live in a world that people can’t embrace a new chapter of something! Being a life long LP fan I’m happy to see them continuing and honoring his legacy!
We dont claim any of the idiots calling themselves fans that are bashing LP and Emily for going on another journey. Mike Shinoda himself said, that she truly is the one and that Chester would've wanted them to move on and continue making awesome music.
Don't think those fan should be called themselves as LP fan, but the critic is more appropriate when come to slam his crew. It's so disrespectful to Chester.
I was a big fan of LP and yes Emily is a crappy singer and a crappy person. Most of the old LP fans think that anyway. Only the young people maybe not. So yeah we are still the old LP fans
they are linkin park as much as chester was, they want to start a new chapter. noone wants to rewrite chester's legacy or his music. They are in the part of their lives where they want to move on as people and artists so let them. Few years back i used to think the same, i was pretty bummed when one more light came out. I hated that linkin park wasnt pursuing heavy music, maybe because i was also going through something heavy in life but then chester killed himself and i realised how heavy those lyrics in that album really was. Its true that linkin park wont ever be the same without chester but emily is talented and i think she'll do great if we let her, this is the birth of a new linkin park.
like it or not Linkin Park was always Mike, Brad and Joe's band, they were a band before Chester joined and if the original member want to continue they have every right to carry on in the way they see fit.
nooooo.. just because they started the band.. doesnt mean they WERE linkin park... Chester IS Linkin Park... thats WHY ppl are actually having fits.. because they may have been in the band, but Chester Brought Linkin park to the world.
@@anarchistbunny3339 maybe when your old enough to vote, join the military, drive a car, pay taxes, or just be homeless, you will learn what ownership means. fans come and go, fans do not own the band they are a fan of, and you fan fiction/head cannon isn't reality sorry.
@@anarchistbunny3339you Chester fans are the one throwing fits😂you're the ones bitching about the new singer. On top of that, y'all are too way up your high horse to realise that it is because of Chest's decision to give up on life why the rest of the guys found themselves on a hard situation. I bet even if they chose someone else, with a clean track record, y'all still be complaining😉
Chester was Chester! He was awesome, and he is missed. But loving music and artistry as he did, I'm sure he would probably sing alongside Emily just as the rest of the group is now. We lost an icon of music and hero. The group lost a brother, friend and a once in generation talent and we can only imagine what influenced their decision but, if you don't like them now, that's your loss. Linkin Park was awesome, is awesome, and as far as I can see, will remain awesome! If you don't like them, save your breath and your time and just hit skip. Why insult someone trying to honor someone else's memory? Is that how Chester was? Be better people! #LinkinParkRules
the people who complained aren't fans. and she hasn't replaced chester. let them listen to the OG Linkin Park albums all they want, the real fans love the old music and the new. also, have you heard two-faced? she's frikkin awesome.
When the original singer of AC/DC died, and Bon Scott took over, they had fans with horrible signs in front row giving him crap. What ended up happening? Still one of the best touring bands in history AND multi-platinum at the same time. The album "Back in Black" came out when Bon Scott was fresh but everybody know those songs. Haters will hate, plain and simple. Give it a chance. She does Chester right. Will never replace him or be him, but she does it justice.
Yeah, but AC/DC was blessed to remain a great band with BOTH singers. Mike Shinoda must've seen, heard, and felt something about Em's aura and talent to bring her to the band. Of course, Mike and Emily know no one will ever replace Chester, but if the band is willing to give her a chance to share her "vision" and help move LP's new music forward, why shouldn't we? I just hope she's not seen as a wannabe "cover" version of Chester every time she screams out lyrics!
@@ChrisP-zj5jq That's honestly my fear as well. The last Linkin Park album with Chester was shredded and destroyed by "fans", and now people have a hard time with this. She does a good job and I hope they keep going. As you said, thr energy is there, vocal notes are there, only thing I will say is that she doesn't have the breath control that Chester did. Not knocking her in any way, but you can just tell. Might be something she gains or she will just be her. Either way, I'm here for it!
@gonzalezeduardo28 Eminem hasn't defended her at all. The tweet going around is from like 2016. The only things Eminem is posting about is his new album and his latest award show performance.
@@sadiekincaid5310 Exactly and also why would Em support a god damn mf who supported a rapist? (danny masterson) that's like as if Eminem supported someone who wanted Ted Bundy outta jail.
Other stuff aside, she fits as closely as anybody could sonically into Linkin Park. Loving the new music. Remember, Chester wasn’t kicked out. They did not rush to replace him. And this is from someone who was never affected as deeply by the loss of a musician or celebrity a when we lost Chester Bennington. Their music has meant so much to me and others. The new doesn’t change the old.
People better be careful especially with Eminem. He has been know to write diss track about things he don't like. Just look at Machine Gun Kelly. Eminem's diss track Killshot destroyed his career. Just saying!
destroyed his career how? by giving him publicity and notoriety 😭 he dropped a rap album a year after the beef and then switched genres a year after that, i think he's terrible at other genres but money is money, shows you have no idea what you're talking about
@Mic1904 I was wondering where the fuck the msgs were cuz it doesn't seem like Eminem would comment. He usually doesn't use his account cuz he sucks at technology.
Losing Chester was a tragedy, along with Brad stepping back and Rob leaving. That said, I am personally enjoying the new music so far and Emily can really perform well live!
I've been a Linkin Park fan all my life and i think that any "fan" who thinks they're trying to replace chester is not a real fan because Emily is never going to replace Chester, but i think she's doing a damn good job of Honoring his legacy of some of the most unique Rock anyone has ever created
Why don’t all you so called fans just chill out . There have been lots of bands who has lost a member and continue on. Linkin Park took a hiatus and now it’s time to move forward. For Christ sake nobody is trying to replace Chester so let’s just enjoy the new version and if you can’t then don’t attack the band just go and listen to your old cds for f-k sakes
One fact is that none of us will ever hear Chester sing live again and he can never be replaced. I suppose Mike could have gotten a Karaoke version to sing his songs but then we would be having another debate about that. LP is one of my favorite bands and I’m happy for them (and us) that they are forging forward. The new stuff kicks ass (IMO) and Emily is bringing a whole new vibe to the group. This can’t be easy for her knowing there are so many haters out there. If the rest of their new album is as good as the 1st 2 drops, they will come around…
Based on songs I listened to (though this is most prominent with "In The End") Chester's vocals embody rage, while hers embody grief. She's not supposed to be the same.
inevitable with such a huge fanbase, there is a lot or cringe gatekeeping going on. People should see it as something beautiful and emily absolutely delivers, emptiness machine is goated and crown too
It's the fans that are stuck in the past that are the problem. I think that most reasonable people get what is going on and is completely supportive of Emily and Linkin Park. I am. I think that Emily is just what Linkin Park needed.
There is a reason that they had to pick a vocalist that had the range with roughness to be able to match the vibe of linkin park is commendable they didn’t want to tarnish chester benningtons legacy but they needed lead vocalist that could be able to carry on the energy of linkin park much respect
how many bands would exist if it would be forbidden to replace a band member? ... I know: a tragically death is a bad thing, but what are you gonna to do, to stay in the past or live today but never forget the past... I know what I have to do: all the luck for LP and Emily
Definitely not surprised Eminem defended her. So happy to see this. Like Eminem and many others, I also defend LPs decision to continue on with Emily, I don't think that controversy matters when it comes to the music, and especially the love of the music
"Emily Armstrong deserves recognition for her incredible vocals on collaborations with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, showcasing her talent and versatility as a singer."
Those people hating on her and Linkin Parks new era never was a real LP fan, they were Chester Stans and never did and do not now care about the rest of the band. LPs legacy is not just Chesters, it belongs to all of them. He was agreat singer and a great human being but he is no longer with us and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them moving on and starting up a new era, playing as Linkin Park again. Chester would be proud and love her and what she brings to the stage. Everyone saying something different never really understood LP anyways.
Why would she? Its still the band and everyone can sing his song, and its more especial when linkinpark park sings their old albums its a memory, a tribute, a respect. Your such a selfish idiot.
@@Galaxy-ho2pk Says mister no one with no talent. Like anyone would care about ur opinion bro, bcs clearly you're a music critic or someone very knowledgeable in this domain to speak out like that
She was born into it. And before you say she hasn't publicly denounced her parents or the "organization" in general it's because it doesn't work out that well for people who do. Why would she do that knowing she can potentially put everyone she cares about, including the band, in danger? So truly think about it before you spew hate at the woman. Chester certainly wouldn't have wanted the fan base to be toxic towards the band or Emily as the new singer. That's never what Chester was about.
As a lifelong linkin park fan chester was always up for experimenting with new sounds and would want his band mates to continue to do what they love and continue linkin park as a way of honoring him. Emily may not sound like chester but she brings a new chapter to linkin park....
Are people being too bad to Emily? Should people give her a break?
All of you haters and toxic fans should do us all a favor and get a frickin life
These unloyal LP fans should figure out, that Emily is not Chester and can't replace him, she is herself and a new LP journey.
Yes, it wasn't even 24 hours before they started to attack her
No I don't care about her personal life her beliefs or any of that she sucks as a vocalist you can make anybody sound good in a studio but she can't do live for shit
I wont hate, dident like it so i wont listen to it, simple pimple
Screw the critics. LP didn't "replace" Chester. And they never could. But their sound had a void, and they needed to fill it. Emily does an awesome job and Chester would likely approve.
Yes, but, you should make a new band and create your own music. Make something separate from what one person has done, anything than reanimating a carcass. We wouldn’t ever know what Chester wanted, and we only know what was sold to us. If we knew him more than we would’ve understood why he took his life.
@@Spartan13J "Could have" made a new band. Not necessarily "should have". Some bands do start over with a new lineup and a new name. Others continue on and hire new members. If it doesn't work....ticket & album sales will show it.
@Spartan13JBest explanation by far
@@Spartan13Jlinkin park was a band and Chester was the singer of it. He died and band grieved him enough. They need to continue forward with the band why would they put all the work they have done and all the songs they have written to the trash because of the passing of their vocals.
@@ShadœwYTso we should just forget and throw away the contributions of everyone else because the head isn’t there. That makes no sense they also have ownership of the band and it’s name
I love how there are fans calling them Chester's songs when oh that's right there's five other people who wrote the songs as well. I almost idolized Chester through my adult years and his vocals but I love the band as a whole and the fact that they found someone to continue on the Legacy that Chester started is great and I'm glad they're returning
You can't replace a legend, but you can become one. And she is well on her way
My thought exactly. Cheater dying still brings literal tears to my eyes... But should his choice that day define the future for all those he left behind? Should they just stop making music? There have been a few prominent bands that lost their lead singer but still found a way to move on...ac/DC, van Halen, lynard skinner, queen... Just to name a few
well considering Mike wrote them, and produced them...LP sound will still be there.
You read about Chester's mom?
@@kghiiiYou’re correct & Chester himself replaced Weiland in STP
Everybody completely ignoring the drummer. No one spoke up for him! He deserves some attention!
That mfer just happy this shit aint on him
He does an impeccable job and hits those grooves perfectly, something that would have been hard to replicate for most drummers. There is emotion in drumming and I expected them to feel hollow with someone else in that position but nope, proved me very wrong.
However, I'm sure he's glad he's not in the limelight with everything going on around Emily.
To a drummer, not being talked about is one of the best feelings, it means you're doing an awesome job blending 🙂
right! i was thinking the same..... hes great. needs some attention as well
Most of what Rob did with the band was on backing tracks for Colin, compare "Faint". So..... maybe not the attention he needs lol
oh sadly Drummers and Basses always get the short end of the band members
SHE IS NOT A REPLACEMENT SHE IS PART OF THE NEW START MY FCKIN GOD
The word "replace" is what turns it all into a bad thing lol. You are right 100%
Finaly someone with brain.......
I think the problem people have with her is the scientology mostly

@@Spartan13J and if they did that ppl would´ve criticize saying that was bad because they should've continue with the same band to honor chester some how.
My point is you can´t make everyone happy there is and will always be ppl who is going to criticize others.......
They didn't replace Chester. They moved on with a great singer!
Yet still sing the songs he sang, and have the same band name. Makes sense 🤡
And how many other bands.. including classic rock bands have done exactly this.. and not gotten a word said.. or at least not to this level
Mika Shinoda has the legit right to play each LP song with any vocalist, because it's literally his band from the beginning
yeah ill stick with pre 2024/Emily LP songs thanks
a great screamer.....she doesnt sing the songs well at ALL
I feel horrible for Mike. Chester was like a brother to him, no one will understand how much Chester means to Mike, and to have to listen to people say things like "Mike is trying to erase Chester" or "Mike only does it for the money". They waited 7 WHOLE YEARS before finding a replacement. No one is trying to erase Chester. Chester was their best friend and brother and he meant more to them than to anyone else in this world. They waited for the wound from Chester's passing to heal a little, they gave everyone the necessary time. People love Linkin Park and they don't want to see this band fall apart. The remaining members of Linkin Park are still young and want to make music and we want to hear their music. I'm happy they found a new singer and are still going after losing such a big part of their life and band, being Chester. Chester would have wanted them to keep rocking and the people who are harassing Linkin Park and think they are "Defending Chester" are only hurting him too.
Finally. A person with a brain. These "fans" are only hurting the band who have lost not just their bandmate, but their family as well. They gave themselves and the fans almost a decade to grieve and recover. Now the band wants to make music again and Emily is just a new chapter of LP. Emily isn't Chester, never will be. Nobody could ever be Chester again, and that's okay. Give her a chance, and let's see what LP has in store for us this go round.
Mike didn't really like Chester at the end and they even had some fuss so telling that he was great friends with him is a big stretch. 😂 We defend Chester and even chesters family have been spoken about it that they did not like it.
You don't understand, even if they are not replacing him, it still isn't right to continue the band.
@@superwin9000 yeah, Linkin Park members don't understand, and LP real fans don't understand. Only you and all the "GOD Chester" cult members understand. I'm sorry if I'm rude but you're disrespecting many fans and LP members by saying "You don't understand", like we all are stupid and our opinions are nothing and only you know what is right to do.
@@4rMain I watched an interview recently and my perspective has changed, I'm not a "cult member" lol I just don't like change that's how I am but its just a pair of me that wishes its Chester but this is a new era of LP.
Who's here after the "Heavy is the Crown" premiere to show both the middle fingers to all the haters!!!???
I love linkin park, but bro this aint it
@@ShadœwYT heavy is the crown is in top 5 lp songs
dude that one was a bad song. the start was fire as fk! why does she need to growl ? there are so many things that she couldve done, but then again there are so many things that have come up. she is not right for lp stop just being okey with it. i know for me who cares what fans say, but isnt it the fans that got them there ? not saying there arnt bad fans but you got to see where they are coming from, its not replacing its about where the singer sings from. and i dont like her but i wont go out of my way to hate. i will just say what i want to see and hear. not hating.
For new song emily is very good.
@@Xommin only because its new. In reality its kinda ass
I'll bet "Linkin Park" fans only ever think of Hybrid Theory and Meteora and completely ignore the 4 or 5 other albums they put out that sound drastically different from each other. The Emptiness Machine undoubtedly sounds like modern Linkin Park.
Yes as they suck. Same old same old.
People arguing about sound or style, I don't care about. Something else I don't care about, anything LP makes moving forward. (And I've liked every single album, even OML)
There's a whole lot of lashing out at people FOR not liking it. People getting REAL defensive. If it's bad then it's just bad. I'm sure they'll do fine and make plenty more money. But it's always going to be the great value version to most people. And I agree 🤷 but all of these comments are getting so defensive about specific things and reasons that don't apply to 90% of the people that dislike the new stuff. It's like you're all defending the complete wrong wall. We're on the other side of the city guys. You're just yelling at 5% of the people over there. Figure out the real reason why I don't care. And defend THAT if you'd like. It immediately turned into "you're sexist and mean and gatekeeping" like IMMEDIATELY. We aren't over there. Come defend this wall over here if you want.
@@CycleOfJudges so what you’re saying is that you want people to read your mind through the internet? If it’s not that, then the message you’re trying to convey is too ambiguous.
@@Sizhui-mg6hc I'm not trying to convey anything or make any point about new singer or music.
Which is half the point I guess lol.
I have an opinion about it, and I just don't listen to the new stuff. That's the majority. Everyone that wants to go argue and get pissy on Twitter, those are the people that you're seeing. That's why everyone else like you gets defensive. It's the vocal minority that you're fighting. Most of us just don't like it, and move on.
@@CycleOfJudges Except you're not moving on are you? You're here in the comment section airing your two cents the same as everyone else. If you truly didn't give a fuck, you wouldn't be here, this video wouldn't have any concern to you at all.
Emily proved herself and payed mad respect to Chester in her 16.02 sec scream of their brand new song "Heavy is the Crown". For those who don't know, rumor is she purposefully ended an entire sec before Chester in his "giving up" scream at 17.02. I think Chester would be very proud! 🤘🫡
The entitlement of saying “Chester was Linkin Park”. No he wasn’t. Technically speaking, the creative core of LP is more Mike, considering he’s the main composer and songwriter for the band. Like, there’s a chance every single song you loved hearing Chester sing was actually written and produced by Mike. Give me a break.
Cheater almost killed Linkin Park. This woman helped brint it back and most OG fans are happy, cause Linkin Park has a much greater significance to us than just the particular people involved.
You're downplaying Chester's significance way too much
@@holczy0nope
He is speaking with the truth
💯 Chester was the last member to join Linkin park. I get it, he was one of the front mans of the band but still like what you said it wouldn’t be Linkin park without Mike. He is the producer of the band
yeah mike is the founder of the band xero , later linkin park. the new chapter linkin park with emily sounds perfect
So many people forget that Chester is not even a founding member. The founding members of Linkin Park(Originally called Xero, later called Hybrid Theory and finally called Linkin Park) are Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon. Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, Mark Wakefield(Singer) later joined up. Chester didn't join until 1999.
Yes, Chester is a great singer, but the band CAN and WILL exist without Chester. I thought Emily did a good job.
Very well said
I wonder how "these people" feel about Brian Johnson replacing Bon Scott in ACDC? Give me a break. The band has every right to keep pushing forward. You may not like their decision but it's there lives, there career and their decision. The best thing Emily could do is ignore the blowhard Internet keyboard warriors. They'll whine about anything.
For real though
Right it goes on and on Chicago replacing Peter Cetera or Journey and Steve..Queen and Freddie..they all moved on and replaced superstars
I can feel both that she can sing, and sounds good with new stuff, but also I do not like her singing old stuff. Both things can be true, without trashing her personally.
like how you are, right now. wow ppl are dumb... and also fuck Linkin park now.. its not even a band that ppl love or grew up with anymore. they should have changed the name..
It's just a little bit of a difference when you replace a guy with a girl
People start talking good about you only when you are dead.
We have literally let Chester die in front of our eyes and even sad, we haven't learnt nothing from it doing this to Emily.
I miss Chester too, the old songs don't sound the same anymore, but Emily in a so short time is kickin asses with the new ones. As Mike said, WE are replacing Chester, singing togheter with the band, not Emily. She's not a replacement, she's a new member.
Why can't they just make a new band and do the same thing? what they're doing isn't right.
@@superwin9000 What would be the difference the name? Linkin Park was all of them not one guy.
@@MoxieBuns yes but at first it was like 1 missing piece to the puzzle and starting a new puzzle made sense because you can never find that missing piece no matter how hard you try but it is what it is
@@superwin9000 Why didn't AC-DC change their name? Why didn't Leonard Skynyrd change their name? The name is a brand you don't change your brand simply because someone dies. If you no longer like the brand buy a new one and enjoy the product you already got.
@@TheHalofivebroken that’s old news, I’m not gonna compare 2 different generations and genre, if you like the band then that good, not everyone has to agree.
Stop this vile hatred towards Emily. She is not trying to replace Chester. She is trying to do the job she was hired to do, just as anyone would. That job is to be Linkin Parks singer. LP could have died with Chester. They did not. Emily is the best thing that could have happened to them. She was the perfect choice for this band. If you don’t like it, leave.
They waited 7 YEARS after Chester’s death before making new music! She’s NOT replacing Chester! She’s starting a new chapter for the band!
Honestly Emily its great for Linkin Park. I loved Chester to bits and miss him every day, but the band shouldn't be forced to stop because of this unfortunate event. Its their life and they have every right to move forward ❤️ and I have a guess that this album coming out will be amazing
The people hating on her are the same guys who called Linkin Park a sell out band just doing mainstream music back in the days. To be fair I also didn‘t enjoy many songs but I could never imagine to blame a band which gave me so much over the years especially in hard times and which decides to try a new direction. I‘m fully supporting the new Linkin Park!
You are a real one for that
Lol ask Chester's mom
@@ssrrss321 It's a tragic situation, I hope at one day she also can find her peace with everything. I still don't see a point in hating because of personal feelings. Don't get me wrong it's obviously very sad what happend, but bad feelings should never overcome your actions.
It's still their decision if they want to move on and nobody tries to "erase" Chester from anything. These are facts.
With her and maybe a new direction i might actually start listening to them but i do understand if fans want them to keep the same music style (even tho i really don‘t understand why so many ppl like nu-metal/punk/rock)
"Chester's songs" when Mike wrote a majority of LP's music and lyrics is a crazy statement. Chester stans are insufferable man.
Its ironic as those same stans criticized every release they ever made when he was still breathing.
You absolutely would not have ever even heard Linkin Park if Chester hadn't been the singer. No one would have. Elvis did not write any of his own songs and he changed music forever. Get a better opinion.
Idk.
Hard to say just how much of LPs success in getting known was because of Chester.
I mean Crawling and the video for Crawling was really impactful because of the meaning and how it related so much to Chester's story and his vocals really sell that story.
Sure Numb is one of the most popular songs but it still feels a lot of that is owed to Chester for how and why it (and the band) was so popular at that point.
I'm not knocking the new sound and the singer is really great but it is really hard for me to personally get behind it when we don't have that same story behind it with the new singer. And of course I mean I find it really hard to get behind someone who doesn't believe mental illness is real/believes in Scientology.
Mental health is like the forefront and message/meanings behind so much of LP so it doesn't make sense.
Again, I think the sound is great and all but it truly isn't all that impactful as it was with Chester.
They may not be written by Chester but he was an inspiration for the lyrics as well as the band's evolution over time/his own evolution.
@@danielbarrera8391well said! But it doesn’t mean they have to stop making music! They are doing what they love!
I love LP and I love Chester. That said, leave Emily alone. Bands evolve. She shouldn't be looked as replacing anyone because you can't. You start with where you are at and move forward. Haters gonna hate. They should just turn off and not listen if they don't want to hear LP's new stuff.
if Chester was still here Emily wouldn't need to replace him
I will not leave her alone because she is bad at her job and people need to know.
@@ssrrss321 You don't have to like her as the new vocalist, just be grateful they're still making music and moving forward with their music career. And saying she's bad at her job is a pretty bold claim to make. I bet her and the band are able to fill entire concerts and garner more success and fans as time goes on.
What an easy life you must live to be this fixated on something so stupid.
@@ssrrss321 Bad at her job LMFAO. Opinions are like butt holes and I'm pretty sure all the people buying tickets to see the new LP don't share your opinion. Nor all the people who put in requests to radio stations to hear them. You crake me up.
You cannot deny that when you heard The Emptiness Machine it is not Linkin Park. This is Linkin Park. I am a music producer for 15 years and I tell you the sounds the rhythm, the lyrics, the mix, it "Screams" Linkin Park. Of course Chester is irreplaceable but adding Emily gives new directions with same vibe.
none of that means anything tho it's a different person
I very much agree ❤
@@OleMariusHovindThey can't play their own songs? They have every right
Your 15 years of music production doesn't reflect other people's opinions, it just reflects yours so it really doesn't matter if you've been producing music (we don't even know what kind of music), it's each to their own taste my guy.
I love the song, i know its not Chester but im happy LP finally made a new song, she did great!
Chester would be proud
“Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be”…. Applied perfectly to all those opposing LP right now
I'm a true Linkin park fan been listing to them since they debut and got me through 3 deployments. I so glad they got someone that truly inbodies Linkin park
Give her a break. She’s hardcore, Chester can never be replaced but she’s a good choice.

How do you replace someone who is dead? I miss Chester but what else were they going to do? Let the band die too? They went ahead and found someone with amazing vocals. The supposed "fans" who are hating on her are just too attached to the past.
I heard her a few days ago she blew my mind away when she screamed Chester would be super proud that his legacy isn’t dead and she is honoring him singing in the band.
Yeah, these supposed "fans" probably thought Meteora wasn't "Linkin Park's sound" back when it was new. I swear, some people...
Ask Chester's mom. Or google it at a minimum.

0:32 …and they are tarnishing his legacy. Ultimately Linkin Park decides what happens to Linkin Park. I get it, what Chester achieved by breathing his soul into the songs can never be done again. But Emily is not even given a chance. Time after time we have to let go of artist who moved us, changed peoples lives one way or another. Grieve them and remember them….honor them. But not by bullying. Some people need to listen to Linkin Park some more.
THIS!
Seriously they’d rather see his legacy forgotten than carried on by someone who has literally said she listened to lp before she could even sing and was inspired to learn by him. She’s not trying to be him or replace him, she’s trying to honor his legacy and carry it forward.
The hate for her is like someone hating their stepmother just because she isnt their mother. She can still do a good job, and she can still be a good step mother. Doesnt mean shes trying to replace anyone, just be a new figure in moving in with life after tragedy.
Linkin Park is rich enough, they dont need money, they just want to play again, and I think the new songs with Emily are good. The only old one she nailed was papercut, and I think they should stick to the new stuff with her.
SHE"S TOTALLY PROVEN THAT SHE CAN SING AND LINKIN PARK IS STILL THE SAME
I wouldn’t say the same. But still good. I remember seeing linkin park in 2007. Incredible.
no she cant, she must sing in her own vocal range that wouldve been better for the song.
@@Higgarn Guess you haven't heard her sing before she joined LP. She sang exactly like this in her previous band
@therealkarannn nobody ever heard of her previous band
Not the same
But linkin park isnt the same for a long time ago
Obviously LP never would have reached these heights without Chester. Mike Shinoda was the creative & driving force behind LP, similar to how Jerry Cantrell is the creative & driving force behind Alice in Chains. Fans are always looking for a reason to be “ outraged “. were the same Chester fans outraged when Chester replaced an iconic singer named Scott Weiland in Stone Temple Pilots? I doubt it. They probably told the angry STP fans to stop crying. Chester will always be the singer of LP, the band staying together and continuing on is what will keep his legacy alive.
im stopping at "fans who slammed". fans of what actually? did they even contribute something to the band and feel have the right to give their stupid thoughts?
im 35 yo right now. Linkin Park is my first love when im at the junior high. bought the debut Hybrid Theory album, the Deluxe Version with the bonus track too. then Reanimation, Meteora comes next. everything is still in a cassette tape format. then bought my first CD format when Minutes to Midnight was released. late purchased on Live in Texas DVD. even bought the Collision Course with Jay-Z. A Thousand Suns then Living Things too. stopped buying when there's Spotify streaming service. so, no The Hunting Party and One More Light album for me. got shocked when Chester's tragic incident happened in 2017. post-baby phase, there were two times i've been crying hard. when my mother got sick (a heavy one) & this one.
Emily came as heavenly news for me. SHE WILL NOT REPLACE CHESTER! BUT SHE CAN SING & SCREAM ON HER OWN & STAND SAME AS HIGH AS THE OTHERS. im surely believe that's not an easy part for the other members. see Rob's decision to quit the band. that's sad & made another heartbreak for me. but they were determined to carry on regardless. so why don't we?
Eminem standing on her behalf? That's just game recognizing game.
He's a sjw now 😂
All crap. Two faced took me instantly back to my teens. It was just so linkin park. Amazing.
Very true
There is no replacement for Chester Bennington, but Emily Armstrong is the next best thing.
She is not the problem; the Gen-Z fans are the issue. I've been saying this for years, even before Chester's passing. I genuinely believe that the band could fart into a microphone, add a delay effect, and the Gen-Z fans would still be like, 'OMG, you guys! I'm totally crying right now; this is the best song ever!' You are the most frustrating bunch, I swear.
"I genuinely believe that the band could fart into a microphone, add a delay effect, and the Gen-Z fans would still be like, 'OMG, you guys! "
Oh, sugar, that comment had me rolling.."fart into a microphone..." You are too cynical of GenZ, eh? LMAOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm not Gen Z and I prefer her versions.
You need to accept that Chester has gone.
Thats awesome that Marshall is defending Emily, never thought it would get this bad for her that a rapper had jump in and say how crazy it is that after one person says something horrible about Emily, others join in too
When people say that its like they are trying to get rid of Chesters legacy and etc etc, I can't help but facepalm. His legacy is fine. Its secure and isn't going anywhere. People acting like they are actively removing all records and mentions of him and the stuff he was involved in. Also, that comment about Emily riding Eminems "coattails for attention" is stupid. HE LEFT A COMMENT FIRST. You telling me that its wrong to reply nowdays?
People these days need to grow up and be less stupid.
If mike and brad themselves didn’t create linkin park there would be no chester let alone chesters legacy
@@brandonhession8550 his death... everybody move on...Chester is part of the band not as a whole ..
Chester taught us to fall in love through music, not to hate...
Emily is a fantastic singer. She fits in perfectly, allowing the success of Linkin Park to continue. The critics should move on, and if they don't like her, then listen to something else instead. It's happening like it or not...
People forget other people have feelings. Anti-social media is causing people to hide and say whatever they want. Not cool.
She’s doing a great job Chester would be proud of what this sounds like. Music is fluid egos are just that personal thoughts that means shit . These people are so smart just step up to the plate and sing or shit the f up
None can ever do justice to the LP Reform like Emily . CHESTER is irreplaceable but Emily is a new found GEM .
Agreed, a new chapter for Linkin Park is starting. We will never forget Chester's legacy with Linkin Park. But that doesn't mean Linkin Park shouldn't move on, and I think Emily will be able to carry that role as the new singer.
Think about it, this is Mike Shinoda we're talking about.. He won't just pick a singer that he knows won't be able to live up to Chester's legacy. Mike is a musical genius, and I trust he chose the right singer for this role.
Give her a break I mean Chester has been gone for a long time now plus,Mike was very graceful and waiting a long time to get a new singer no one can take Chesters place he is irreplaceable but, she is awesome she rocks! Time for a new beginning
bro this is an AI video, all the videos on this channel are AI
Every singer have their own style. So don't need to condemned them
Emily is NOT her replacement!! She is respecting his music and paying tribute to his legacy!! Ppl need to shut the f#$k up and relax, making a huge deal out of stupid crap. If you love Linkin Park, give them the support they deserve, not the opposite, such crap!!
Thank you, people milk this stupid shit for so long and assume so much, going as far as calling her a rapist supporter just for being associated with someone.
That’s like calling anyone who ever met Jeffery Epstein a pedophile like it’s that black and white.
so is supporting a disrespectful band group that calls them something, that they are not anymore.. This Isnt Linkin park. so stop acting like its going to be. ppl like you are the reason ppl like me, are talk even more shit. because its NOT LINKING PARK.. thats just a fuckin fact. if you DONT like it. then dont type. PERIOD!
I hate fans... we should let artists do what they want, specially when we're talking about music. Stop ordering, let artists be!
We love you Emily! 🔥🔥🔥

@@PepGuard-tp4nyShut your dirty mouth
Go Scientology! Go!
@@PepGuard-tp4nymore like you are
@@PepGuard-tp4nytraitor? What does that even mean?
Linkin park is good cuz they didn't quit or made a whole different band like nirvana they didnt quit
It’s simple. She is not a replacement. It’s not erasing the past. It’s the next step to a new chapter.
Emily is fantastic and keyboard warriors need to stop being the vocal minority of hating on her while the silent majority is just “yay!l”
Crazy we live in a world that people can’t embrace a new chapter of something! Being a life long LP fan I’m happy to see them continuing and honoring his legacy!
Please don't say Emily received backlash from Linkin Park fans. The fans appreciate her. The others are just haters.
that's kinda egotistical tbh, basically telling others that they don't deserve to be fans because they have a differing opinion
@@anomaly3215 No it's not egotistical.
this video isnt even real.. no one gives a flying fuck about a chick cover singer.. thats all shes going to be.
Right👍
Not all of them
Chester will never be replaced
the worst part about Linking park ?
THE FANS !
You mean the "Toxic Morons"
Amen to that!
We dont claim any of the idiots calling themselves fans that are bashing LP and Emily for going on another journey. Mike Shinoda himself said, that she truly is the one and that Chester would've wanted them to move on and continue making awesome music.
Don't think those fan should be called themselves as LP fan, but the critic is more appropriate when come to slam his crew. It's so disrespectful to Chester.
I was a big fan of LP and yes Emily is a crappy singer and a crappy person. Most of the old LP fans think that anyway. Only the young people maybe not. So yeah we are still the old LP fans
they are linkin park as much as chester was, they want to start a new chapter. noone wants to rewrite chester's legacy or his music. They are in the part of their lives where they want to move on as people and artists so let them. Few years back i used to think the same, i was pretty bummed when one more light came out. I hated that linkin park wasnt pursuing heavy music, maybe because i was also going through something heavy in life but then chester killed himself and i realised how heavy those lyrics in that album really was. Its true that linkin park wont ever be the same without chester but emily is talented and i think she'll do great if we let her, this is the birth of a new linkin park.
She’s freaking allowing us to still hear their music to the best of her ability.
like it or not Linkin Park was always Mike, Brad and Joe's band, they were a band before Chester joined and if the original member want to continue they have every right to carry on in the way they see fit.
nooooo.. just because they started the band.. doesnt mean they WERE linkin park... Chester IS Linkin Park... thats WHY ppl are actually having fits.. because they may have been in the band, but Chester Brought Linkin park to the world.
@@anarchistbunny3339 maybe when your old enough to vote, join the military, drive a car, pay taxes, or just be homeless, you will learn what ownership means. fans come and go, fans do not own the band they are a fan of, and you fan fiction/head cannon isn't reality sorry.
@@anarchistbunny3339you Chester fans are the one throwing fits😂you're the ones bitching about the new singer. On top of that, y'all are too way up your high horse to realise that it is because of Chest's decision to give up on life why the rest of the guys found themselves on a hard situation. I bet even if they chose someone else, with a clean track record, y'all still be complaining😉
Chester was Chester! He was awesome, and he is missed. But loving music and artistry as he did, I'm sure he would probably sing alongside Emily just as the rest of the group is now. We lost an icon of music and hero. The group lost a brother, friend and a once in generation talent and we can only imagine what influenced their decision but, if you don't like them now, that's your loss. Linkin Park was awesome, is awesome, and as far as I can see, will remain awesome! If you don't like them, save your breath and your time and just hit skip. Why insult someone trying to honor someone else's memory? Is that how Chester was? Be better people! #LinkinParkRules
the people who complained aren't fans. and she hasn't replaced chester. let them listen to the OG Linkin Park albums all they want, the real fans love the old music and the new.
also, have you heard two-faced? she's frikkin awesome.
FACTS!! ❤❤💯💯☝🏽☝🏽
When the original singer of AC/DC died, and Bon Scott took over, they had fans with horrible signs in front row giving him crap. What ended up happening? Still one of the best touring bands in history AND multi-platinum at the same time. The album "Back in Black" came out when Bon Scott was fresh but everybody know those songs. Haters will hate, plain and simple. Give it a chance. She does Chester right. Will never replace him or be him, but she does it justice.
Sorry, Brian Johnson is the singer, Bon Scott was the old singer. I screwed the names up. It's been a long, hot, work day.
Yeah, but AC/DC was blessed to remain a great band with BOTH singers. Mike Shinoda must've seen, heard, and felt something about Em's aura and talent to bring her to the band. Of course, Mike and Emily know no one will ever replace Chester, but if the band is willing to give her a chance to share her "vision" and help move LP's new music forward, why shouldn't we? I just hope she's not seen as a wannabe "cover" version of Chester every time she screams out lyrics!
@@ChrisP-zj5jq That's honestly my fear as well. The last Linkin Park album with Chester was shredded and destroyed by "fans", and now people have a hard time with this. She does a good job and I hope they keep going. As you said, thr energy is there, vocal notes are there, only thing I will say is that she doesn't have the breath control that Chester did. Not knocking her in any way, but you can just tell. Might be something she gains or she will just be her. Either way, I'm here for it!
When Eminem defends you, you know you’re doing something right.
@gonzalezeduardo28 Eminem hasn't defended her at all. The tweet going around is from like 2016. The only things Eminem is posting about is his new album and his latest award show performance.
@@sadiekincaid5310 Exactly and also why would Em support a god damn mf who supported a rapist? (danny masterson) that's like as if Eminem supported someone who wanted Ted Bundy outta jail.
Other stuff aside, she fits as closely as anybody could sonically into Linkin Park. Loving the new music. Remember, Chester wasn’t kicked out. They did not rush to replace him. And this is from someone who was never affected as deeply by the loss of a musician or celebrity a when we lost Chester Bennington. Their music has meant so much to me and others. The new doesn’t change the old.
People better be careful especially with Eminem. He has been know to write diss track about things he don't like. Just look at Machine Gun Kelly. Eminem's diss track Killshot destroyed his career. Just saying!
None of the things reported in this video actually happened.
destroyed his career how? by giving him publicity and notoriety 😭 he dropped a rap album a year after the beef and then switched genres a year after that, i think he's terrible at other genres but money is money, shows you have no idea what you're talking about
@anomaly3215 you just described what Eminem caused him to do smh. Just think for a second more.
@Mic1904 I was wondering where the fuck the msgs were cuz it doesn't seem like Eminem would comment. He usually doesn't use his account cuz he sucks at technology.
@@anomaly3215🤡
Losing Chester was a tragedy, along with Brad stepping back and Rob leaving. That said, I am personally enjoying the new music so far and Emily can really perform well live!
all those people must feel very stupid by now
I've been a Linkin Park fan all my life and i think that any "fan" who thinks they're trying to replace chester is not a real fan because Emily is never going to replace Chester, but i think she's doing a damn good job of Honoring his legacy of some of the most unique Rock anyone has ever created
Why don’t all you so called fans just chill out . There have been lots of bands who has lost a member and continue on. Linkin Park took a hiatus and now it’s time to move forward. For Christ sake nobody is trying to replace Chester so let’s just enjoy the new version and if you can’t then don’t attack the band just go and listen to your old cds for f-k sakes
One fact is that none of us will ever hear Chester sing live again and he can never be replaced. I suppose Mike could have gotten a Karaoke version to sing his songs but then we would be having another debate about that. LP is one of my favorite bands and I’m happy for them (and us) that they are forging forward. The new stuff kicks ass (IMO) and Emily is bringing a whole new vibe to the group. This can’t be easy for her knowing there are so many haters out there. If the rest of their new album is as good as the 1st 2 drops, they will come around…
Where did he write it?
That's what i'm wondering
He didn't. AI-generated fiction, like everything else this channel pumps out.
@@Mic1904 Ohh that sucks he got me 😭
@@MagnusTF It's alright - took me a couple of videos to realize what was going on. Near-identical pattern in every video.
@@Mic1904 ahhhh damn I guess you are right yes!
Based on songs I listened to (though this is most prominent with "In The End")
Chester's vocals embody rage, while hers embody grief. She's not supposed to be the same.
Their drummer and guitarist split. There's more than meets the eye with this lineup...
Lol, no. Not what happened.
inevitable with such a huge fanbase, there is a lot or cringe gatekeeping going on. People should see it as something beautiful and emily absolutely delivers, emptiness machine is goated and crown too
All this is absurd. Emily is great. Rock on
It's the fans that are stuck in the past that are the problem. I think that most reasonable people get what is going on and is completely supportive of Emily and Linkin Park. I am. I think that Emily is just what Linkin Park needed.
Eminem never said anything about her . Stop spreading rumours.
There is a reason that they had to pick a vocalist that had the range with roughness to be able to match the vibe of linkin park is commendable they didn’t want to tarnish chester benningtons legacy but they needed lead vocalist that could be able to carry on the energy of linkin park much respect
how many bands would exist if it would be forbidden to replace a band member? ... I know: a tragically death is a bad thing, but what are you gonna to do, to stay in the past or live today but never forget the past... I know what I have to do: all the luck for LP and Emily
Definitely not surprised Eminem defended her. So happy to see this. Like Eminem and many others, I also defend LPs decision to continue on with Emily, I don't think that controversy matters when it comes to the music, and especially the love of the music
Eminem didn't defend her he made a statement about the media 🤔
I dont see his comment under her instagram ? where did he write this comment ? there was no media campaign against her even ?
Are you illiterate?
"Emily Armstrong deserves recognition for her incredible vocals on collaborations with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, showcasing her talent and versatility as a singer."
Wake up... he's gone... she's really good... let the band move on.
Those people hating on her and Linkin Parks new era never was a real LP fan, they were Chester Stans and never did and do not now care about the rest of the band. LPs legacy is not just Chesters, it belongs to all of them. He was agreat singer and a great human being but he is no longer with us and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them moving on and starting up a new era, playing as Linkin Park again. Chester would be proud and love her and what she brings to the stage. Everyone saying something different never really understood LP anyways.
The only thing emily should really consider is to stop singing Chester's songs for her own good.
Hey everyone please say something for congratulations at this guy is new producer linkin park in next album.
@@user-yz5lm6qu1v simp going to simp.
Agree, she's just not a very good singer
Why would she? Its still the band and everyone can sing his song, and its more especial when linkinpark park sings their old albums its a memory, a tribute, a respect. Your such a selfish idiot.
@@Galaxy-ho2pk Says mister no one with no talent. Like anyone would care about ur opinion bro, bcs clearly you're a music critic or someone very knowledgeable in this domain to speak out like that
Guys! The potential for a lp/eminem colab is a possibility again!
Some people even say it's DEI and that's why they chose a female
Em is a scientologist
She was born into it. And before you say she hasn't publicly denounced her parents or the "organization" in general it's because it doesn't work out that well for people who do. Why would she do that knowing she can potentially put everyone she cares about, including the band, in danger? So truly think about it before you spew hate at the woman. Chester certainly wouldn't have wanted the fan base to be toxic towards the band or Emily as the new singer. That's never what Chester was about.
@@jasonbodden8816 not everyone want to support rарisт supporter
Some people just can't move on and decide that it's easier to hate.
The "fans" suck. It's the bands decision.
Agreeed don’t get why people say they need a new band name when mike and brad literally created linkin park and not chester lol
As a lifelong linkin park fan chester was always up for experimenting with new sounds and would want his band mates to continue to do what they love and continue linkin park as a way of honoring him. Emily may not sound like chester but she brings a new chapter to linkin park....
She’s freaking allowing us to still hear their music to the best of her ability. And Chester would be happy for her
