@@nocturne.nocturnal I would say so. He’s a great drummer, himself, too. I honestly just think for him, as a musician…maybe LP stuff wasn’t fast or creative enough for him. Miss Rob, though. He was one of the guys in the band that always brought a solace to the group…soft spoken guy. But when he gets in the studio…he’s all business. Hope he’s doing well.
They already said Rob has been distancing himself for years. He's probably still torn up about Chester. That's his battle and his choice. Just hope he gets help if he needs it.
or maybe it isn't all about Chester. he's probably at a point in life where playing the drums, making music and touring is a thing of the past. same thing goes for Brad. not everyone can be like Mike where they eat, sleep, and breathe making music. we'll never truly know why he left until he addresses it but thats my take. i am of course sadden that he's no longer in the band for i grew up on their music but it is what it is.
I would LOVE to hear Robs reason as he is a founding member and I think there should be more appreciation and notoriety. Feels wrong. Even in the new Zane Low interview Mike won't say anything just that he started distancing himself from them years ago, makes you wonder if its because they started creating this new chapter in 2018 and 2019 which Rob was a great guy and always great to Chester. Just seems off to me they don't even mention his name, ever.
I'm really gonna miss him. He was my favorite. Not just as a musician, he had such a cool, chill vibe about him. I hope he gets to surf everyday and I wish him all the good things in life.
I don't understand why some people consider it disrespectful that not much is said about Rob. The way it was handled, it was respectful enough to just briefly state the fact and say 1-2 sentences about it. I think the only thing that bothers some critics is the fact that their curiosity is not sufficiently satisfied. It's not enough for you to be told that Rob has simply distanced himself from the band over the years and no longer wants to. NO!!! A scandal, an argument would be much more entertaining. You could work through it much better. To such sensationalist people.... Some things are simply none of our business, not even as fans. Some things are private. And sometimes there is simply nothing more than what is said.
@stevgo6213 its disrespectful since this new vocalist its a Scientologist that dont beliefs in any of Chesters songs or mental illness such as depression, thats why its disrespectful. Why would u bring someone that dont believes in what chester fought his whole life to sings songs that he made from what he battle and suffer inside his head, Rob's made the right decision this is not Linking park and should respect the name and since the proposal its "FROM ZERO" mike should bring another name or use his for minor project
You know I’ve been loving Linkin Park for more than 20 years. When I found out they came back with new members, I had listen to their new songs. I can proudly say I enjoy what they have done so far and I am excited for the new Linkin Park. I am sure Chester is smiling from heaven ❤ This is what he would have wanted for his friends.
i feel its the same as with John Deacon of queen when freddie mercury died. he felt queen was done and dusted and no point to continue as freddie was the voice and soul of that band so he distanced himself. i could be wrong but i feel Rob probably feels the band died with chester and while its nice to try come back, lets be real. it doesnt feel the same anymore without chester. If they are going to come back they should work on new music and let it go because i also feel many of chesters songs she struggled with and tried way too hard to hit those notes and you could tell it doesnt fit her.
To be fair they've only released one song with her so far so that livestream would be kind of point less if it was just one song. So I cut her some slack for singing those other songs but once they start releasing more material with her then it's fair to judge her singing Chester's songs because she would have her own unique songs with the band later on. That's just my opinion though.
I noticed she struggled with some of the songs to, but thats understandable. Those songs weren't made with her range in mind. With time, she can give her own spin to them. I'm convinced she's the right pick for LP in this new era, the new song proves that.
I hope Rob comes back someday to Linkin Park but he has his reasons for not rejoining the guys people change and maybe he's still grieving over Chester's death but I hope he is happy with whatever he decides to do now
I think Linkin Park should do, what the instrumentalists of Rage against the machine did, and present themselfes with a new band name. You know, make it a proper reset.
Mike Shinoda wants the money. Imagine Paul McCartney saying "John is gone, but The Beatles must continue. Oh, yeah, Ringo did not want to return, but my friend will take his place." FU, Shinoda.
Chester was a real one. He held LP together with #2 Shinoda. Everyone knew their place, and they all shined. I don't mind a woman replacing Chester for a second go. She's got good pipes, but is she a real one? Not lookin like with the controversy stuff happening. It's the small quiet things like respect that made people love LP, not the flashy laser shows. If #2 understood that LP could have gone a lot further.
Thank god. Someone mentioned it for what it is. I’m an old school LP fan as well. And I already know deep that that Rob feels LP died with Chester. And he’s one of the original 3 founding members. He absolutely knows what he’s doing. And he probably doesn’t approve this move by the band. And as much as I love Mike, the way he brushed off Rob’s departure by saying “He distanced himself from the band” is a clear sign that it wasn’t on the best of terms..If it was my band mate of 20 years for arguably one of the biggest names in music, I would give him more respect than that.
You're just making shit up 😂 mike said rob started distancing himself during the hybrid theory re-release, which is obviously before the From Zero stuff started.
I agree with all you said here. I feel this is a wrong approach with everything Linkin Park concerning respect. #truthforcetimelessgoodtogoJesusChristisbackandisn’tLinkinParkEmilydrummersnorMikeShinoda #in Jesus ChristsNameWePrayAmen
If I was rob I would distance myself from this version of Linkin Park too. soo disappointed i couldn't get through 20 seconds of hearing the live show. RIP Linkin Park
Until Rob makes his own statement even the band themselves shouldn't talk about why he left or tried to distance himself from them. Mike said he just distanced himself. Rob could day otherwise.
If Mike didn't say what he said, a bunch of people would be speculating that it was a messy break up and that they hate each other. Fans would be mad at one of them or both of them for them if nothing was said.
@@Nick-ok4eq I prefer fans speculate be quiet I can guarantee most of them are wrong. Maybe a few right guesses. But Mike making an official statement now before Rob could be messy in the future if it were not true. Like when Joey quit slipknot according to slipknot. But Joey said he was fired.
@@JuanMorales-ju6je Linkin Park isn't Slipnot. Rob isn't Joey. Just because it happend with them, doesn't mean that this situation is the same. We can take things at face value at this moment in time, and still like and respect everyone involved. If things change later, then you cross that bridge when you get there.
I struggle with accepting new members to bands I've followed for years. I end up only listening to their old material and never transition to their new stuff. Happy for them to be back doing their things nonetheless.
Chester is gone, Rob is gone, Brad isn't touring, so we've got Shinoda and Hahn, it's similar to how I feel about the Pantera reunion, call it something else, because it's not LP without Chester, let alone half of the rest of the band being gone.
Changing drummer's isn't as noticeable as a new singer. Singer changes will always divide fans. None of LP wanted this situation. They're just adapting to stay together . . .
Something else they just glossed over but Brad is only going to be making the new music with LP, He will not be touring at all. No clear reason given just released a separate statement that he'll not be touring.
Somethings a miss, Chesters son has come out and basically said he is not happy with the decision to have Emily in the band. Robs left the band and brad is not playing live only working behind the scenes
I mean no disrespect but I dont wanna hear ANYONE sing Chesters songs but CHESTER. Now the Drummer Rob gone err..... I'll cop the new album but hold my LP back catalogue dear to my heart.
When Zack left RATM, Tom, Brad and Tim formed Audioslave with Chris. I think they know RATM will never work without Zack. And Audioslave became a great band. Linkin Park is Chester. Whether you agree or not. I think the best move was to create something new rather than staying behind Chester' shadow.
Everyone who says Rob left because of her need to do some research he left ages ago and told them he wanted distant himself from the band, and started showing up less and and keeping contact Mike even mentions and respected him for it.
Honestly, they might as well call themselves something else, it's no longer Linkin Park. I know LP started without Chester, but nobody knew them without him. If you can pull off something like acdc and they sound the same, it can work. But once you change the sound mainly lead vocals, it's no longer the same band. I wish them the best of luck, but this isn't my LP.
@@deanfournel7532 of course it's never gonna be the same LP it was something else with Mike and Chester. And it's gonna be different with Mike and Emily. Have faith in Mike as he knows the veins of this band.
I'm the type of person that will give everybody a chance I will give this new band a chance but Mike should change this band's name to Linkin Park 2 but yeah sorry I'm all over the place but it won't be as good as the original and Chester's voice will always haunt my head more compared to Emily
@@juliannelobo Yes after the band was already writing songs to come back thats what Mikes Sessions was all about they knew they were coming back in 2019 I bet Rob didn't want any part of it. I hope they gave him some recognition, they never talk about him and he;s just as much of a founding member as Mike.
I kinda felt like it had something to do with this new singer too call me strange but it kinda makes sense if he left cause he didn't like the direction this new band was going
From one more light band was not old lp. Not. Minuets to midnight also. But oml was wors. Still we loved to hear Chester singing. Mike has mentioned that they want new fans. Im not blaming. But disappointed. My fav bane is gone with Chester for ever. Not just coz of a girl. New pos singing, my ears cannot take it. It screams are soo disturbing.
I thought I heard in an interview that Rob was still recording with them, but wasnt touring. Aounds like he has nothing to do with the band at all now?
I just "love" when bands are done and bad media outlets use words/phrases to justify their mistakes : "evolving" "excited to see where this journey takes them"
@abeginnerspov5968 Okay and? I have no problem with people not liking the direction the band is heading but to state the band is done as if it's a fact is just ignorant. Look at the like/dislike ratio along with the comments as well. Small minority.
How would she, she has got pretty big shoes to fill, and the cancel culture attacks her since her first appearing as a co-vocalist. Not many has the courage and talent to bear and undertake that.
Rob probabily didn't want to be in the same band as a vocalist that openly supported and is friend's with a convicted rapist and a depression denier (scientologist). Mike managed to get the most disrespectful combo to Chester in a single person.
Considering this information about Emily is surfacing only now, I really doubt that was the reason. It's probably just like Mike said, no big deal. If he was lying and the split was actually messy, I'm sure Rob would come forward and expose him.
it sound to me that he band is "speaking for him" then "him letting himself speak for himself." this doesn't feel right and i think the band shoulda re-group or got a new singer. let us remember what we remember of linkin park.
I'm glad people get to hear a new take on Linkin Park but it's just not for me Chester is too hard too replace and they flopped big time her voice didn't sound good at all from what I've heard so far its butchering at its finest. Hard pass!
this "new linkin park" is XERO. the actual original band before linkin park(founded by MS, JH and BD). rob bourdon was linkin park's DRUMMER. the same with chester bennington, he was LINKIN PARK's vocalist. you can consider this new female vocalist is a XERO vocalist. this new "installment" should come out with the name of XERO so it would make whole lot of sense.
I'm a LP fan since Hybrid Theory launched. And I agree. To me this isnt LP. If the main vocalist is gone, the band is done. But I respect their decision.
@@Slapnutss Even if Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell & Mike Shinoda decided to go to Seoul & hire Park Jae Sang (PSY) as their new vocalist, its their band, not yours, its their decisions, not yours, they can do whatever the fuck they wanna do with their band, coz LP is their band, not yours...
Would "have" quit. Aside from that : valid point. She's not a lead vocalist for a band like early LP, but given their last album she's not a bad fit. Then again, if it wasn't for their last album we would probably still have Chester and Rob; so there's that.
Brad is heavily involved in the business side of LP at warner, it's been suggested on the fan group that it was something to do with that. remember they pushed everything back a week because another big band (oasis) also got back together.
Brad stills writes & works with the band but doesn't want to tour for the next while. Honestly, I can't blame him as being away from home, friends, family, waiting in airports, traveling, sleep schedule all over the place, getting tired of it, the stress, etc... He may not find much value in that anymore after doing it for a very long time. That's just my assumption tho!

@abeginnerspov5968 Okay and? I have no problem with people not liking the direction the band is heading but to state the band is done as if it's a fact is just ignorant. Look at the like/dislike ratio along with the comments as well. Small minority.
Band is ALIVE
Mike thinks Rob is completely replaceable. He will be proven wrong.
Did Mike really say that?
@@AmatPadilNique No. Some people just enjoy talking out their asses lol
Emily in Linkin Park doesn't feel home
No, she rather obviously feels alright.
Yawn 🥱. Give it time 😌
@@puppeteerzzz How so?
@@jonathansmith1590 feeds butterflies not
How would she, she has got pretty big shoes to fill, and the cancel culture attacks her since her first appearing as a co-vocalist. Not many has the courage and talent to bear and undertake that.
1000th like ❤🎉
Rob probabily didn't want to be in the same band as a vocalist that openly supported and is friend's with a convicted rapist and a depression denier (scientologist). Mike managed to get the most disrespectful combo to Chester in a single person.
Aye, that'd do it.
Couldn't agree more!
Considering this information about Emily is surfacing only now, I really doubt that was the reason. It's probably just like Mike said, no big deal. If he was lying and the split was actually messy, I'm sure Rob would come forward and expose him.
They said Rob has bad anxiey attacks
it sound to me that he band is "speaking for him" then "him letting himself speak for himself." this doesn't feel right and i think the band shoulda re-group or got a new singer. let us remember what we remember of linkin park.
I'm glad people get to hear a new take on Linkin Park but it's just not for me Chester is too hard too replace and they flopped big time her voice didn't sound good at all from what I've heard so far its butchering at its finest. Hard pass!
this "new linkin park" is XERO. the actual original band before linkin park(founded by MS, JH and BD). rob bourdon was linkin park's DRUMMER. the same with chester bennington, he was LINKIN PARK's vocalist.
you can consider this new female vocalist is a XERO vocalist. this new "installment" should come out with the name of XERO so it would make whole lot of sense.
OK, where is my tin foil hat
Wtf are you smoking? 😂
There are even photos of Rob playing when they were Xero, what are you talking about?. God
And it's literally "From zero". You're a genius and a real fan to notice, wow
i don't know but the only linkin park album i liked is hybrid theory and meteora.
Maybe check the spelling of the subtitles before you post the video next time?
Yeah I’m starting to wonder if it’s because this new singer and ideology that made rob not come back
Let's find out the new album
It's not even linkin park anymore
Complain all you want, it's still LP 🤷🏿♂️. If you don't like it, you can always kick rocks, just like the others 🥴🤣
@@jonathansmith1590you clearly don't understand what Linkin park meant to others
I'm a LP fan since Hybrid Theory launched. And I agree. To me this isnt LP. If the main vocalist is gone, the band is done. But I respect their decision.
@@Riyozsu Nope, I understand perfectly 🥴. Try again 🤡
@@Slapnutss Even if Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell & Mike Shinoda decided to go to Seoul & hire Park Jae Sang (PSY) as their new vocalist, its their band, not yours, its their decisions, not yours, they can do whatever the fuck they wanna do with their band, coz LP is their band, not yours...
They should change the name and logo as this is no longer Linkin Park!
It's for me
Rob 😢
Rob close friend Chester
Colin would be cool guy, one more multi-instrumentalist is always good
The replicating The comeback of Evanescence 😂
It's not Linkin Park anymore, it's a Linkin Park Cover-Band.
I’ve been thinking that since the show. I had high hopes and they just went away during the show
Ah yes. Mike Shinoda is covering his own lyrics. Great logic.
Linkin Paramore!
saying it is not linkin park because you do not like the new singer is wild.
@@the0ne809 Don't forget about the new drummer either and with their new direction it's not really LP anymore is it?
Emily vocals is crap
No
@@GEMSofGOD_comdon't try to be different she looks as if she was running out of breathe singing each song. She can't sing chester's songs.
@@Riyozsu Sniff farts
@@Riyozsu Liar
@@Riyozsu don't your armits
As soon as they brought the "sandwich maker" to rehearsal I would of quit too! 🖕
Would "have" quit.
Aside from that : valid point.
She's not a lead vocalist for a band like early LP, but given their last album she's not a bad fit.
Then again, if it wasn't for their last album we would probably still have Chester and Rob; so there's that.
What’s up with Brad? Where was he?
Brad is heavily involved in the business side of LP at warner, it's been suggested on the fan group that it was something to do with that. remember they pushed everything back a week because another big band (oasis) also got back together.
@@lewisb85 it still doesnt explain why eh wont tour with them
@@WickedlNlBrad is part of the tour
Brad stills writes & works with the band but doesn't want to tour for the next while.
Honestly, I can't blame him as being away from home, friends, family, waiting in airports, traveling, sleep schedule all over the place, getting tired of it, the stress, etc... He may not find much value in that anymore after doing it for a very long time.
That's just my assumption tho!
@@Naikomi95 He isnt, he even made a statement. He records with the band but wont tour, his friend will cover for him.
Evolving? The new vocalist is trying to sound like an old one. They sound like a Linkin Park cover band.
Are we not supposed to see and appreciate the art, music and performance that Chester helped create because of his passing?
No not really after finding out about Emily being scientology 🤷
Crazy plot twist I didn't catch on Colin I hope he's a better person than Emily. Even for being one of the new fans this changed me.
and supporting that dude from that 70's show. Its all gonna be out there now more and more and it wont be very positive for the band.
What's all that with scientology? Where did yall get it from?
@@bobabooey4537Emily just addressed that part of the situation
@@memedaddy793from what I've read it has to do with some pictures of her at a scientology church back from like 2013 or so. I don't the exact story so someone else can further elaborate or correct me
He's the only one with principals?
Good for Rob. He is right.
There's no right or wrong, Mike and Rob founded the band, if he lost interest that's his thing,.
#judgemental
@@michealrosen There is always right and wrong , good and evil. I hope you see that one day.
@@michealrosen I would say it's wrong to play their old songs with a new singer and drummer. Go make new songs. And in this case it feels wrong to continue the band like this too.
I dislike this so much… I’ll stick with the old LP sorry.
I want rob back to lp
Oke thank you
Не знаю, почему он ушёл.
Но без него плохо.
А Честер незаменим никем и никогда.
Приняла Эмили.
Не приму замену Роберта.
NOT MY LINKIN PARK. I THINK THEY MUST CHANGE THE BAND'S NAME. LIKE "LEAVE HER IN PARK" OR "NEW LINKIN PARK" OR "LINKIN PARK REBORN".
LINKIN PARK 2???
@@KrisTheBatSpider21 😆👌
Lol
Link New Park
Linkin part 2
Rob is such a chad
wait, why does Jack White have writing credits on this new LP album??? WTF is going on
...worked with big names like G Flip, Illinium and One Ok Rock" Big names? Never heard of them 🤔
lincoln park
Mike got his best buddy and fuck buddy in the band. Great job Mike.
This guy knows...
Rob probably didn't want to perform with a scientologist. Good on him.
He left before she was hired
like mike said he wasn't there in hybrid theory rerelease and papercut

Then what about brad? He was not on the comeback concert too..
Brad was there. I didn’t recognize him at first because he was using in-ear monitors instead of gun range headphones.
@@deltamaxxhomevideono he wasn’t there at the concert. Mike said someone else was filling in for Brad because he couldn’t be there that day. He’s still a member of the band though.
