Been listening to Linkin Park for 20+ years, but with this, I’m out...won’t support them in anyway ever again. Saddest part is, none of this surprises me one bit in these dark times we live in! 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@bryanhallman8183 Just don't use streaming services to listen, as that still funnels royalty payments to Mike and the band. Listen to existing physical format media, or digital files you have downloaded and saved locally as those don't incur repeated royalty payments.
Because LP/MS handlers continue to whitewash the comments sections on all their official socials and ban people from their discords for bringing it up. They're gaslighting their fans that the issue doesn't exist. And when anyone comments on non-official fan acct posts, they get 10 toxic fans spewing hate at them and calling them trolls, fake fans, idiots, etc. I think people got tired of being bullied and gave up, just walked away and wrote off LP.
I noticed that too. We just need to keep tallking about it and spreading the word and the media will know enough people are interested and will post again.
Glad your research has been validated unfortunately too many LP fans much too dismissive of her awful behavior because of their ignorance of what scientology is
I believe Mike Shinoda is the person, who makes 90% of the decisions in the band. The question is WHY he's holding onto her this desperately, calling her his friend. I mean they don't look like a team with her. There's no feel of companionship between them all on stage. Her vocals are not outstanding, he could find a million people singing just like her or even better. There's bunch of female vocalists who have even better scream singing abilities the Chester! But Mike out of all vocalists in the world picks the most controversial for this job, the one whose reputation and believes are 100% opposite everything Chester and them all seemed to believe in. The only explanation is that Mike is scientologist himself.
@@tatyanamorgoeva8806 Yes, Mike makes most of the decisions, but Joe Hahn (the DJ) is who got the ball rolling for getting the band back together, initially they were going to have different vocalists for every show, but Dave Farrell (The bassist) didn’t want that. This is from the Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe.
@arcadeguy781 I know . All this is was a cash grab plain and simple it would have been so much more respectable if they just started a new band with new material the LP fan base would have followed them they didn't need to do it this way
@@arcadeguy781 No one will ever be Chester, agree over and over. What I meant was, doesn’t Scientology help people succeed in their career? Especially actors, singers, etc.?
I know Criss Farmer very, very well. She was my auditor for several years before I joined staff in Cincinnati. She is very close to my father, Bill Nagengast
I WAS a huge Linkin Park fan for decades, I was even going to get a Tattoo referencing Linkin Park, Not no more, so glad I didn't. I'll still always love their music with Chester, but not giving them the time of day with Emily.
Yeah, I'm sticking with the Chester Bennington era, and I will NOT be seeing them in concert or buying merchandise. I'm only going to be listening to them on Apple Music
@@arcadeguy781 that would be awesome, if I'd ever consider a tattoo a Chester tatt would be high on my list! I really resonate with him and his struggle. My world shattered that day, feels like a substantial piece of me died, to sound totally cliché. But that is my true experience of when Chester left
Aaron, thank you SO much for bringing this back into the conversation. It's been incredibly depressing the last month to see coverage of this fizzle out everywhere, while comments on official LP socials continue to be deleted, and comments on non-official posts get piled on with toxic hate by the "real fans" who blindly support them. Not a single interviewer has asked them about it either, which is disappointing. QUESTION: Considering she's fully active, will Scientology prevent the band from doing the mental health awareness and suicide prevention advocacy that it has in the past, since that goes directly against the cult's beliefs and practices?
Whenever anything pops up in my feed about LP I always leave this comment 'Scientology: The seven year old girl who shudders because a man kisses her is not computing; she is reacting an engram since at seven she should see nothing wrong with a kiss not even a passionate one. Dianetics, The Modern Science Of Mental Health. Chapter 9, Part 2 Differences (1979 edition, page 409) - L.Ron Hubbard.'
This is Mike shinoda fault, fucking piece of Shit, made money in album (post traumatic) 2019 and also working with Emily at the same time Hahaha 🤣, he couldn't care less about chester Bennington, when the news come up, this will the end with Linkin park, is a shame unfortunately.
@@JomarsYT I hope you're right and it's the beginning of the end of his $ making schemes. Unfortunately I'm worried it's not as he has a very trusting fan base who are in massive denial.
I'm so disappointed in the 'fans' of LP, they're just ignorant sheep who seem to forget what cults are capable of. Like really? It's made me so disgusted beyond belief, and the fact she's in such a position of power is scary, scientology will use LP no doubt.
@@drewfullerlover97 They’ll use any excuse to defend their favorite band. They’ll call people who don’t like Emily haters whether it’s about her singing or personal life.
@@breejordon6042 I guess if you include all religions as cults then yea it would include most celebrities etc. But most people don't acknowledge that religions are more like cults than a church alot of the time. And this is coming from someone raised in an extremely conservative and strict mormon family as a 3rd generation. It's just the ones who are dangerous are ones I speak so openly about, cause my parents lived when Charles Manson & his cult were most active to Ted Bundy who was baptized into the Mormon church and they defended him so publicly back then (the church not my parents). But basically I'm saying is, the ones we know who are active dangerous cults should always be at everyone's top watched list, not just everyone. And I think most of the really bad people, it's known either through rumors or public opinion what type of person they are as well. Like it took 20 yrs for Diddy to get his, but the whole internet just knew what he's done to a degree before he was arrested & charged.
I was really excited to see LP chose a new singer and was coming back, until I saw you mentioned she's a scientologist. I wont be listening to ANY of their new music. Its downright insulting. Chester had many struggles with mental illness, and it shows in so much of their music. Its so much of why they were so popular. I cannot reconcile listening to that band, with a scientologist, who don't believe in mental illness or therapy.
....and this fact is criminally diminished on social media. It used to be everywhere with her introduction as the new lead singer...and now I personally can only find criticism on her vocal ability. Or the very rare, "everyone should be free to practice whatever religion they wish. Focus on the music."
I believe you, however ppl will need more proof because they don’t critically think. How did you find this out? Can you post the actual conversation or some sort of physical evidence please? As a LP fan for 2 decades. I’m heartbroken. Chester would be mortified & incredibly saddened. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. As I said I believe this & the more interviews they do & delete the more I believe this is true.
@@ssl3546That's good to know. I just looked into it, and it's called “Source protection,” especially when you get confidential information but can't share who's providing it.
I can’t. I’m said it when the news broke, & I will say it again. I can not support a band, that has a new vocalist, having ties to a religious belief system, that says taking prescription medication & therapy is evil. A band, that lost a member to self termination; that needed professional medical attention and professional medical support. A member that had his own struggles (if still alive), would be told by this religious belief system, that “it’s fine. Just exercise, take vitamins, and submit more to the religion.” I can not support that. It’s sad.
I certainly believe that it's acceptable to both boycottand protest the Linkin Park concerts. The fact that she is spending so much money on psychology really bothers me and I believe that's a perfect environment to promote the anti-Scientology movement.
@@calvinwilson3617 Chester’s band mates still get royalties. They enabled this to happen. “Lost” made me cry so many times. Her being lead is disrespectful to me personally
I say believe in what you want and what you feel fits you and as long as you're not actively spreading it out trying to convert people then we good. Like I still like Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible being one of my fav action series.
The amount of blind support is aggregious. In my opinion, Shinoda heavily banked on vulnerable fans who were clearly feening for new music from their favorite band. Shinoda knew the weight of having her in the band and still gave a huge middle finger to the *imo* true fans who can see through the haze and realize how off the whole thing is.
I find it pathetic how Linkin Park "fans" are doing their best to silence anyone who mentions scientology on their subreddit. Speaks volumes about them as a person.
Maybe Mike is a part of it as well, I won't be surprised. Chester's ex wife said that chester wanted to quit the band back then, their contract was over by summer 2017. I think there is a lot of things we don't know.
Celebrities and big donors are key to Scientology’s continued existence. And if Scientology is so wonderful, these big fish shouldn’t mind being identified. Then the public can decide whether they want to indirectly support Scientology. Personally I don’t know why anyone would see a Tom Cruise movie. Maybe Linkin Park will experience unpopularity as a result of its choice of singer.
I have no problem with people think that that's okay to go to a Tom Cruise movie...But I personally believe that we VOTE with our money, so I REFUSE to Indirectly Financially support Scientology by going to his movies or a Linkin Park concert.
I personally didn't need confirmation because I never believed for a second she was out of the cult. Thanks for the video tho! I wish I could still listen to LP with Chester, but I can't bring myself to do it because Mike's voice makes me sad and angry. I've been listening to Chester's side projects instead because he will forever be my favorite singer
I’ve been against her since the beginning I had to unfollowed Natalie because it pissed me off that she was for her and thought good things for her. NO Emily is trash !!
@@FoxgirlJD there were so many better options. For a male lead singer Andy Cizek would’ve been awesome (he’s a vocal coach on UA-cam), as for women Taylor Mommson, Amy Lee, or Courtney LaPlante.
So grateful you’re covering this story thoroughly Aaron 🙏🙏🙏 it bothers me to see this influential band pull a 180 and hire someone with ideology/actions fundamentally at odds with everything the band famously stood for/against. 😬🤮🤮🤮
It doesn’t make sense. Chester was a CSA victim & they pick someone like her. Nothing makes any sense. LP is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest Nu-metal bands out there. Over 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 81% popular on Tidal, and 419 Apple playlists. (Source: Song Stats and the last time I checked was yesterday).
Looking through the Scientology lens of "PTS-SP tech" Emily could be viewed as a "PTS" type A particle. PTS by virtue of a real world physical universe connection to the concert going fan base. They will be considered antagonistic towards her BECAUSE of Scientology. Will she eventually be pressured to "Handle or Disconnect" or will the church turn a blind eye? Refusing to disconnect from known antagonistic sources / enemy lines is in itself a Suppressive Act. Here's looking at you OSA.
Thanks Aaron - hope you are staying upbeat in the face of so much hate directed at you by ex friends. I am so happy to stay away from their channels and am enjoying yours as always. Just hope this is not becoming too much of a drag for you atm. Ok to take a break if it is.
Oh my goodness! I didn't even consider the fact that DM has never even been an auditor himself... but I remember hearing this mentioned in the past. I thought having to re-do it all would be insulting enough... but then that, too? Yikes... Great video as always A-A-Ron!
You can take a person out of Scientology, but you can't take Scientology out of that person. It might take a while for them to gain clarity or come to their senses. Moreover, you have a deeperbknowledge of Scientology and were raised within it surpassing those who are vehemently opposing you.
This is everything Chester Bennington was against. It makes me sick to think that Linkin Park is now a part of it after everything Chester went through. Very disappointing to say the least. I have not liked Emily from the beginning just from a voice point of view. I definitely will not be supporting in the future. I will only be listening to Linkin Park with Chester. I just watched your message with Jaime Bennington. It was great.
Your information about resales might not be entirely correct. Shows usually do lose money, all shows, it's usually Merch that makes money. But that tickets were available below face value is absolutely not true for germany.
The price for merch at concerts is always jacked up. Every concert venue has merch. That’s why I’m boycotting merch & concerts. Still going to listen to them with Apple Music, but that’s it. I still love the band, but I DO NOT like her.
@@arcadeguy781 i love buying merch from smaller bands even if it's expensive bc that's how they make almost all of their money (plus like 7 cents from music platforms per year 😆). Regarding Linkin Park: HUGE fan but i have now put all my support for them on hold. I disagree with Aaron about his stance on boycotting. Also i just can't seperate art from artist even if i wanted to.
Whaat? 😮Mike talking in july 2020 interview about Linkin Park back in the day rehearsing in the ugly part of Hollywood, with "night workers" and lots of Scientologists, and a reading center for people learing how to read, filled with only Scientology books, and how dark this is. And at the point of this interview he knew and collabed with Emily for almost 2 years at least. Definitely surprised by this revelation! If true it feels wrong to support album and shows, 'cause you know where a piece of the pie will end up. 😕Weird, don't get the band dynamic with Mike feeling that kinda way and Emily still being active
I don't understand. I'm willing to believe you if you can show the evidence. But you made a statement, and did not provide any evidence that people could check out for themselves. I don't understand that
Aaaron, once concert tickets are sold... they're sold. Regardless of if they're bought by resellers, a sell out is a sell out and the band saw full face-value revenue.
Glad you don’t care either way if your viewers chose to stop listening to LP or not after giving us this news. I was never a big fan of them, but I liked some of their older songs.
Thanks for the update. I prefer to not make purchases that support individuals who makes donations or purchases that support an organization that trafficks children and covers up s.a.
I soooo feel otherwise. Will not support Lincoln Park. As for Tom Cruise, now that I've seen him for who he is, I don't watch his movies anymore. That's great about getting the word out this way. Lol lost money. I know about how the tickets are now and it's like one big scalp. 😮😢 I hate to chuckle that they lost money, LP that is 🫣 Thanks for the update, Aaron. Sciento so homophobic😮😒
@@HippieChick60 Idk.. Content differs quite dramatically between Top Gun, Mission Impossible, Tropic Thunder, Oblivion and Vanilla Sky, to name a few. His movies are quite diverse. But maybe he plays Tom Cruise constantly?😉
Hey Aaron, i am watching this on work so i might just have missed the spot: What is the source of the information that Chriss is auditing Emily? I did not attend the first few concerts also i am a huge fan because i want to be sure what is going on with all the scientoligy stuff. And since it got quite i thought, y, maybe she is just not active and wants to be able to stay in contact with her parents bla bla. But before getting tickets for the tour, can u help me out with the proof? Thx in advance!
@@GrowingUpInScientology see ppl are confused as to where this info came from and youre attacking your own supporters here...youve already lost me aaron and i was super dedicated to your cause...im very disappointed with your behavior.
Even if I said, the information came directly to me in a conversation with Criss Farmer herself, you would still be ask me for proof that I spoke with Criss Farmer. Lol What do you want me to do, give you my source?
By Hubbard’s definition, Miscavige is a squirrel. If Farmer is doing a retread and not a Miscavige “creation”, I expect more likely it was an ethics correction.
LP fanatics: "Emily and Mike can't say she left or they'll come for them and we'd worry for their safety even tho they're millionaires with a billion dollar label" Also LP/Mike fanatics: "Aaron, tell us who told you this, we only play the safety card when it's in our favor and don't actually care about you or your sources' safety at all" I have so much secondhand embarassment for them rn.
Yeah, it doesn’t make sense. Aaron’s safety is important too. My question is would the band protect her? I’m not up on what happens these days when a famous person like Emily publicly leaves the cult?
As someone who was a linkin park fan, it really sucks how this has just faded away and people are just fine with her. She intimidated victims for fuck's sake. Ignoring the scientology aspect, she is a horrible person and the scientology is just the cherry on top. Mike shinoda is a piece of crap too.
Agreed. And frankly Mike's worse. Playing the victim on his discord and letting her take all the heat when he's the one who picked her, knowing this. Not defending her actions of course, just saying he's even worse. The trial was very recent (21/22 I think?), well after they started working together.
@@GrowingUpInScientology i was genuinely interested cause ive been fighting this battle on youtube with reactors to the LP new music. but if thats the kind of answer i get i cant go to bat with that...i think you are miss reading or taking it the wrong way
@@GrowingUpInScientology is that not a perfectly good question? To you the word of Criss farmer might mean something but to me and im sure alot of other people its just words with no evidence to back it up
I got a question: I understood why she is not appearing anywhere, about the while field thing of criss Farmer, but I did not catch where the proof is, that E.A. actually is an active member? Since she doesn't appear in the documents, where does it say she is active? Just so that I understand. I am not an English native, so maybe I didn't Catch everything.
i didn't understand it either, all i got what that Criss farmer told this guy or told somebody that this guy knows that E.A is one of her clients or whatever you wanna call it. But i didn't see any actual evidence other then a he said she said thing? maybe i missed something too
@@GrowingUpInScientology hi Aaron, i am your follower for quite a while now. A never-in. I just wasnt sure if i missed sth, that you already explained. I have friends who are LP fans and kept asking for proof. Otherwise they wouldnt See that Scientology is something to worry about. It would simply be awesome to have something to show to them.
Mike and Emily recorded a podcast interview, apparently before the whole announcement thing (personally I really doubt it was before that, the whole thing is kinda sus). And at approximately 26 minutes, when Emily talks about her excitement about being a part of LP and not knowing how to tell everyone, she says *"How do I tell my mom?"*. And I was like AHA! There are other interesting bits in there, where she casually mentions her gayness. But anyway the whole thing is so "safe", and some phrases feel like a response to some of the recent criticisms, which makes me feel like it was recorded recently ua-cam.com/video/9hFl-dnAUcY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=1560
Just because I don’t give you a source doesn’t mean I’m speculating. Even if I said the information came directly to me in a conversation with Criss Farmer herself, you would still be ask me for proof that I spoke with Criss Farmer. Lol You have to be crazy if you think I’m gonna name my source just so people will stop asking for “proof”.
Did juliet Lewis's career implode after that weird interview with the scientologists saying that it's nothing to do with aliens and we don't get it? I know it really put me off her
No, the clones in Oblivion have a 5 year life-cycle. In "Edge of Tomorrow" he's a alien fighting soldier that dies over and over, and have to relive the same day over and over and try to progress
Sorry, but what is the proof that the From Yero tour lost money so far, except "someone told you"? Your argument is that tickets sold out because they were sold to resellers? Well, ALL tickets go via resellers nowadays. There are no direct ticket sales anymore. The shows sold out from these resellers. Again, where is the proof that they were sold under value? Anyone following the music industry and TicketMasters pricing model knows that they sell tickets WAY ABOVE value instead of undercutting it. I've been following the ticket prices of their concerts so far and none of them were on the cheap side. For the concert in Germany alone, 300.000 people queued up for tickets whereas there were only 16k seats available. Just look at the footage of the concerts that already happened. There were no empty seats in Seoul, London, Hamburg... I searched the web to back up this claim and found nothing that proves that they lost money. What I found is that the net income from their first five shows was $9.43 million, and I find it extremely hard to believe that the costs in producing these shows were higher than that, not to mention there are additional shows on the way. And these numbers just seem to be tickets sales, thus excluding merch etc. news.pollstar.com/2024/10/18/global-ticket-sales-earn-linkin-park-top-live75-debut/ It's a commonly known fact that that bands make the most money nowedays with touring since records sales virtually do not exist anymore and there is hardly any money made from streaming. So it would immensely surprise me that a band with chart topping songs and a huge comeback plus extensive touring experience would be losing money on this tour. If anyone has facts, links and numbers to back up this claim, I'd be happy to see it.
@@quelll7143 and seeing that this one claims could be rather easily disproven, it doesn't inspire much confidence in the quality of his sources, or the amount of research put in to verify the claims...
@@GrowingUpInScientology I truly appreciate the work you do to expose Scientology, but if you put out claims that can be refuted with a 5 minute Google search, you lost me as an audience. I by no means want to defend LP specifically here, but I worked with musicians in the past and everything you said about the concerts, tickets and their pricing plus the band losing money despite clearly sold out arenas, that part in your video struck me as extremely off. Unless they managed the tour and their expenses catastrophically bad (which is extremely unlikely with a band that has decades of track record of being on tour) it's nearly impossible for them to have turned a loss on this tour.
I'm on the side that hates Emily and fully believes she's a terrible person and actively in the cult. That being said, where's the proof that she's being actively audited by Criss? Perhaps I missed that in the video - apologies if so.
@@vegan3650 Can confirm. I went back and watched more closely again. Just word of mouth. If Aaron could expand on the details of this, even if it's simply saying an insider told him, that would be fine for me.
Thank you so much for clarify the situation of Emily 💜💜 But I'm very sure, there a still loads of blind people who denie the truth in spite of the facts.
Do you have proof that this Chriss guy is auditing Emily Armstrong? If you are saying that comments the saying she can’t talk about it because it puts lives in danger are bad then it also sounds like you are a hypocrite not putting your life in danger by actually showing us the proof or telling us how you got it.
I could tell you that this information came to me directly from Criss Farmer herself and you would still ask me for proof that I spoke to Criss Farmer. You can believe whatever you wanna believe, it’s no skin off my back.

@@GrowingUpInScientology okay all I'm saying is rewatch your video and see how you are bouncing around unclear is she or isn't she. I trust what you say because I don't know and the minute you start saying I'm not sure that sense of red flag.
How did she manage to grow up as a Sea Org cadet, not end up in the Sea Org and remain an active Scientologist in good standing? Every other ex-sci cadet I've observed has had to choose between sciento and family or freedom and success in the real world
That’s not correct. Cadets did not have to choose between Scientology and freedom. Cadets simply usually had no other choice because they had nowhere to go if they did not want to be in the Sea Org. Emily did have somewhere to go.
Lot of Blah Blah… 1. Where is the proof? 😂 2. Tom Cruise and many others are members of Scientology and no one cares. And when it comes to Emily its a drama all over the internet 😂 3. Every religion can be seen as a „strange believe“…. Come on ppl. Get a life.
Why can you just not leave Emily Armstrong alone. What do you want to achieve with your youtube pulication about the scientology subject? Do you want that the band to kick Emily Armstrong out of the band? For your Information, some people do not even care about this subject. I do nont care either aboir rhe scientology subject. I love that Emily Armstrong is part of Linkin park low and that they are doing music and she has an amazing voice
Thank you for helping the UA-cam algorithm. Your comment will help this video get more views. (PS: Her voice isn’t amazing & Chester is always going to be better in my eyes)
I never doubted there was merrit to the claims but I just dont care rather she is or isn't. Personal religious preferences dont change how amazing the music Linkin Park makes currently is.. Rip Chester and no disrespect to the family but this is a little much.
As long as her being in the band doesn't change their stance on mental health, and she doesn't try to influence people/recruit people into Scientology, I can safely separate the art from the artist
@@breejordon6042 Bringing it up would not put her in danger, so it's odd that she hasn't said anything. Yes, she is one, but she's not at Tom Cruise's level. She's not going on news or talk shows to say how bad SSRIs are like he was. Plus, she dropped out of school, and Scientology school is messed up compared to public education.
Would listen to pdfs album too ? Or a serial killer ? She’s a horrible person connected to horrible things. She also can’t sing for Jack has a weak voice runs out of steam and can’t do the distorted vocals at all without running out of steam and sounding weak. She sucks as does your cultist comment. Another xenu cultist
@@LostHorizons0 Yeah, compared to Chester Bennington, she's not even close to sounding as good. He put his heart and soul into those songs. You know what's interesting? I noticed that when they performed "Crawling," and Mike started rapping, he seemed out of it. Hell, she has the audience do half of the singer.
The reason why it matters is because the proceeds, at least some of them are being given to Scientology. Scientology abuses children. Would you say this about P Diddy? He makes music... Maybe we should give him a free pass on r'ing 13-year-olds
Ask the same thing here. You don't care about Emily being in this very influential position, you supporting the band, major part of her piece of the LP pie most likely ending up in you know where, leading to destruction of lot more individuals/families? It's a direct causality of support of the band, if these claims are true that she's still with them

Such a slap in the face to Chester & his family. I'm a bit more mad at the rest of the band than I am at Emily.
I believe Mike Shinoda is the person, who makes 90% of the decisions in the band. The question is WHY he's holding onto her this desperately, calling her his friend. I mean they don't look like a team with her. There's no feel of companionship between them all on stage.

I WAS a huge Linkin Park fan for decades, I was even going to get a Tattoo referencing Linkin Park, Not no more, so glad I didn't. I'll still always love their music with Chester, but not giving them the time of day with Emily.
Yeah, I'm sticking with the Chester Bennington era, and I will NOT be seeing them in concert or buying merchandise. I'm only going to be listening to them on Apple Music
Me too, loved LP with Chester, but no more. Glad you didn't get tattoo!!❤

@@arcadeguy781 that would be awesome, if I'd ever consider a tattoo a Chester tatt would be high on my list! I really resonate with him and his struggle. My world shattered that day, feels like a substantial piece of me died, to sound totally cliché. But that is my true experience of when Chester left
Aaron, thank you SO much for bringing this back into the conversation. It's been incredibly depressing the last month to see coverage of this fizzle out everywhere, while comments on official LP socials continue to be deleted, and comments on non-official posts get piled on with toxic hate by the "real fans" who blindly support them. Not a single interviewer has asked them about it either, which is disappointing.
QUESTION: Considering she's fully active, will Scientology prevent the band from doing the mental health awareness and suicide prevention advocacy that it has in the past, since that goes directly against the cult's beliefs and practices?
Whenever anything pops up in my feed about LP I always leave this comment 'Scientology: The seven year old girl who shudders because a man kisses her is not computing; she is reacting an engram since at seven she should see nothing wrong with a kiss not even a passionate one. Dianetics, The Modern Science Of Mental Health. Chapter 9, Part 2 Differences (1979 edition, page 409) - L.Ron Hubbard.'
Granted they haven’t had much interviews in the first place the only one I know of is the one the had when they first came back
@@Ianmitchellmusic They've had a few while out on tour. Not the full band, just her and Mike I think.
So sad & honestly I’ve lost any respect I still had for Linkin Park. Bummer.
This is Mike shinoda fault, fucking piece of Shit, made money in album (post traumatic) 2019 and also working with Emily at the same time Hahaha 🤣, he couldn't care less about chester Bennington, when the news come up, this will the end with Linkin park, is a shame unfortunately.
@@JomarsYT I hope you're right and it's the beginning of the end of his $ making schemes. Unfortunately I'm worried it's not as he has a very trusting fan base who are in massive denial.

same. I was looking forward to the new album. Not anymore
Fun fact...Criss was once declared an SP
😮😮😮
I'm so disappointed in the 'fans' of LP, they're just ignorant sheep who seem to forget what cults are capable of. Like really? It's made me so disgusted beyond belief, and the fact she's in such a position of power is scary, scientology will use LP no doubt.

You realize that all celebrities are basically in a cult by default right?
@@breejordon6042 I guess if you include all religions as cults then yea it would include most celebrities etc. But most people don't acknowledge that religions are more like cults than a church alot of the time. And this is coming from someone raised in an extremely conservative and strict mormon family as a 3rd generation. It's just the ones who are dangerous are ones I speak so openly about, cause my parents lived when Charles Manson & his cult were most active to Ted Bundy who was baptized into the Mormon church and they defended him so publicly back then (the church not my parents). But basically I'm saying is, the ones we know who are active dangerous cults should always be at everyone's top watched list, not just everyone. And I think most of the really bad people, it's known either through rumors or public opinion what type of person they are as well. Like it took 20 yrs for Diddy to get his, but the whole internet just knew what he's done to a degree before he was arrested & charged.
I was really excited to see LP chose a new singer and was coming back, until I saw you mentioned she's a scientologist. I wont be listening to ANY of their new music.
Its downright insulting. Chester had many struggles with mental illness, and it shows in so much of their music. Its so much of why they were so popular.
I cannot reconcile listening to that band, with a scientologist, who don't believe in mental illness or therapy.
We all knew it but it’s going to shut some mouths out there. I hope this video gets picked up by big channels and mainstream media.
I hope so, too. I found this channel through TwitterX when the controversy was hot. I just shared it with my 3,000+ followers

I can’t. I’m said it when the news broke, & I will say it again.
I can not support a band, that has a new vocalist, having ties to a religious belief system, that says taking prescription medication & therapy is evil.
A band, that lost a member to self termination; that needed professional medical attention and professional medical support.
A member that had his own struggles (if still alive), would be told by this religious belief system, that “it’s fine. Just exercise, take vitamins, and submit more to the religion.”
I can not support that. It’s sad.
the resellers lost money, but LP/Warner music successfully sold them to the resellers, so they didn't lose money, no?
Correct. He's 100% wrong on that one.
Yea that’s what I was thinking? Lol
Before I forget they blocked me on reddit cause they said it was a conspiracy theory
That she was a Scientologist? They just don't want to admit it
I certainly believe that it's acceptable to both boycottand protest the Linkin Park concerts. The fact that she is spending so much money on psychology really bothers me and I believe that's a perfect environment to promote the anti-Scientology movement.
Well never listening to one of my top 5 fav bands. Chester would be so disappointed
facts. You can always stick with the Chester Bennington era. Just avoid concerts, and merch

Listen to their old stuff, just none of the new. Don't let them erase Chester's legacy
@@calvinwilson3617 exactly!!!!
@@calvinwilson3617 Chester’s band mates still get royalties. They enabled this to happen. “Lost” made me cry so many times. Her being lead is disrespectful to me personally

Exactly!!!! Obviously don't watch Tom Cruise interviews that aren't related to his movies 😅
Thank you so much.. I’m sorry I’m a 24 year fan and this hurts so much
I feel you, same here.
The amount of blind support is aggregious. In my opinion, Shinoda heavily banked on vulnerable fans who were clearly feening for new music from their favorite band. Shinoda knew the weight of having her in the band and still gave a huge middle finger to the *imo* true fans who can see through the haze and realize how off the whole thing is.
I find it pathetic how Linkin Park "fans" are doing their best to silence anyone who mentions scientology on their subreddit. Speaks volumes about them as a person.
@@gbr88 Right. They will do anything to make Emily look good.
Bro you have devil worshippers on your playlist, I guarantee it.
Maybe Mike is a part of it as well, I won't be surprised. Chester's ex wife said that chester wanted to quit the band back then, their contract was over by summer 2017. I think there is a lot of things we don't know.
@@akasha8477 I doubt it because he’s all about mental health considering what Linkin Park’s songs are about.
But then why hire a scientologist, it makes no sense. That means Mike is just an opportunist.
As someone who used to like Linkin Park, saw them live AND am an Armstrong, we don’t claim her!! Ugh 🤦♀️
you dont speak for us loser go back to the basement
Dead sara have songs where it sounds to me like shes bashing scientology. so im still abit iffy on her being a active dedicated member
Everyone in Dead Sara is a Scientologist
If being gay got someone kicked out of Scientology, Travolta would have been booted long ago for some of his activities. ijs
I was so sad, but I unsubscribed to Linkin Park. I am now a Chester Bennington fan and not the rest. It's disgusting that they hired her.
Celebrities and big donors are key to Scientology’s continued existence. And if Scientology is so wonderful, these big fish shouldn’t mind being identified. Then the public can decide whether they want to indirectly support Scientology. Personally I don’t know why anyone would see a Tom Cruise movie. Maybe Linkin Park will experience unpopularity as a result of its choice of singer.
Their Spotify monthly views & popularity dropped recently.
Those promo pics of bands always look so staged & ridiculous. Everybody looks so "commanding" & tuff. Can't all be tuff. They ain't Bautista😖
Have seen that guy now he looks like he has aids and plays for the fairy team
Thats how the band photos are. They staged....
I have no problem with people think that that's okay to go to a Tom Cruise movie...But I personally believe that we VOTE with our money, so I REFUSE to Indirectly Financially support Scientology by going to his movies or a Linkin Park concert.
@@vatodad always vote with your wallet
I refuse to support LP after this maybe if I was younger I would not care but as a 44yo and a mother I will not support it.
I personally didn't need confirmation because I never believed for a second she was out of the cult. Thanks for the video tho! I wish I could still listen to LP with Chester, but I can't bring myself to do it because Mike's voice makes me sad and angry. I've been listening to Chester's side projects instead because he will forever be my favorite singer
How about songs without Mike’s voice, like “One More Light” or “Breakin' the Habit”? If you can't, I understand.
I’ve been against her since the beginning
I had to unfollowed Natalie because it pissed me off that she was for her and thought good things for her. NO Emily is trash !!
@@FoxgirlJD there were so many better options. For a male lead singer Andy Cizek would’ve been awesome (he’s a vocal coach on UA-cam), as for women Taylor Mommson, Amy Lee, or Courtney LaPlante.
So grateful you’re covering this story thoroughly Aaron 🙏🙏🙏 it bothers me to see this influential band pull a 180 and hire someone with ideology/actions fundamentally at odds with everything the band famously stood for/against. 😬🤮🤮🤮
It doesn’t make sense. Chester was a CSA victim & they pick someone like her. Nothing makes any sense. LP is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest Nu-metal bands out there. Over 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 81% popular on Tidal, and 419 Apple playlists. (Source: Song Stats and the last time I checked was yesterday).
I was conflicted at first when all of this came to light. Now, with this new information, I think I have made a decision
Not surprised at all......glad you were able to get confirmation so the drama over this question can fizzle.
It will move on to something else..😂😂😂
Looking through the Scientology lens of "PTS-SP tech" Emily could be viewed as a "PTS" type A particle. PTS by virtue of a real world physical universe connection to the concert going fan base. They will be considered antagonistic towards her BECAUSE of Scientology. Will she eventually be pressured to "Handle or Disconnect" or will the church turn a blind eye? Refusing to disconnect from known antagonistic sources / enemy lines is in itself a Suppressive Act. Here's looking at you OSA.

You can take a person out of Scientology, but you can't take Scientology out of that person. It might take a while for them to gain clarity or come to their senses. Moreover, you have a deeperbknowledge of Scientology and were raised within it surpassing those who are vehemently opposing you.
@@HeatherDaynever when your born into it they brainwash you. Living that way for over 30 years thinking that this is normal is baffling.
This is everything Chester Bennington was against. It makes me sick to think that Linkin Park is now a part of it after everything Chester went through. Very disappointing to say the least. I have not liked Emily from the beginning just from a voice point of view. I definitely will not be supporting in the future. I will only be listening to Linkin Park with Chester. I just watched your message with Jaime Bennington. It was great.

Your information about resales might not be entirely correct. Shows usually do lose money, all shows, it's usually Merch that makes money. But that tickets were available below face value is absolutely not true for germany.
The price for merch at concerts is always jacked up. Every concert venue has merch. That’s why I’m boycotting merch & concerts. Still going to listen to them with Apple Music, but that’s it. I still love the band, but I DO NOT like her.

And at the point of this interview he knew and collabed with Emily for almost 2 years at least. Definitely surprised by this revelation! If true it feels wrong to support album and shows, 'cause you know where a piece of the pie will end up. 😕Weird, don't get the band dynamic with Mike feeling that kinda way and Emily still being active

A confidential source, and naming the source would harm him or her.
By Hubbard’s definition, Miscavige is a squirrel. If Farmer is doing a retread and not a Miscavige “creation”, I expect more likely it was an ethics correction.
LP fanatics: "Emily and Mike can't say she left or they'll come for them and we'd worry for their safety even tho they're millionaires with a billion dollar label"
Also LP/Mike fanatics: "Aaron, tell us who told you this, we only play the safety card when it's in our favor and don't actually care about you or your sources' safety at all"
I have so much secondhand embarassment for them rn.
Yeah, it doesn’t make sense. Aaron’s safety is important too. My question is would the band protect her? I’m not up on what happens these days when a famous person like Emily publicly leaves the cult?

Mike and Emily recorded a podcast interview, apparently before the whole announcement thing (personally I really doubt it was before that, the whole thing is kinda sus). And at approximately 26 minutes, when Emily talks about her excitement about being a part of LP and not knowing how to tell everyone, she says *"How do I tell my mom?"*. And I was like AHA!

Watching on the replay crew.
Sorry, but what is the proof that the From Yero tour lost money so far, except "someone told you"? Your argument is that tickets sold out because they were sold to resellers? Well, ALL tickets go via resellers nowadays. There are no direct ticket sales anymore. The shows sold out from these resellers. Again, where is the proof that they were sold under value? Anyone following the music industry and TicketMasters pricing model knows that they sell tickets WAY ABOVE value instead of undercutting it. I've been following the ticket prices of their concerts so far and none of them were on the cheap side. For the concert in Germany alone, 300.000 people queued up for tickets whereas there were only 16k seats available. Just look at the footage of the concerts that already happened. There were no empty seats in Seoul, London, Hamburg...
I searched the web to back up this claim and found nothing that proves that they lost money. What I found is that the net income from their first five shows was $9.43 million, and I find it extremely hard to believe that the costs in producing these shows were higher than that, not to mention there are additional shows on the way. And these numbers just seem to be tickets sales, thus excluding merch etc.
news.pollstar.com/2024/10/18/global-ticket-sales-earn-linkin-park-top-live75-debut/
It's a commonly known fact that that bands make the most money nowedays with touring since records sales virtually do not exist anymore and there is hardly any money made from streaming. So it would immensely surprise me that a band with chart topping songs and a huge comeback plus extensive touring experience would be losing money on this tour.
If anyone has facts, links and numbers to back up this claim, I'd be happy to see it.
All of the “proof” in this video, barring that Criss took many Scientology courses, comes from “someone told me”.
@@quelll7143 and seeing that this one claims could be rather easily disproven, it doesn't inspire much confidence in the quality of his sources, or the amount of research put in to verify the claims...

@@GrowingUpInScientology I truly appreciate the work you do to expose Scientology, but if you put out claims that can be refuted with a 5 minute Google search, you lost me as an audience. I by no means want to defend LP specifically here, but I worked with musicians in the past and everything you said about the concerts, tickets and their pricing plus the band losing money despite clearly sold out arenas, that part in your video struck me as extremely off. Unless they managed the tour and their expenses catastrophically bad (which is extremely unlikely with a band that has decades of track record of being on tour) it's nearly impossible for them to have turned a loss on this tour.
I'm on the side that hates Emily and fully believes she's a terrible person and actively in the cult. That being said, where's the proof that she's being actively audited by Criss? Perhaps I missed that in the video - apologies if so.

okay, listen Aaron was saying he doesn't know if's she out as gay. He was fumbling and I don't know her. It's not ok to speculate and okay haters hate me it's still not okay to be unclear... I'm listening to what he said and go back and listen that's what he said. so cool out.
She is very openly gay
@@GrowingUpInScientology okay all I'm saying is rewatch your video and see how you are bouncing around unclear is she or isn't she. I trust what you say because I don't know and the minute you start saying I'm not sure that sense of red flag.
How did she manage to grow up as a Sea Org cadet, not end up in the Sea Org and remain an active Scientologist in good standing? Every other ex-sci cadet I've observed has had to choose between sciento and family or freedom and success in the real world
That’s not correct. Cadets did not have to choose between Scientology and freedom. Cadets simply usually had no other choice because they had nowhere to go if they did not want to be in the Sea Org. Emily did have somewhere to go.
@@GrowingUpInScientology ahh, I stand corrected. I just got the impression from stories that they were expected to join the Sea Org
Lot of Blah Blah…
1. Where is the proof? 😂
2. Tom Cruise and many others are members of Scientology and no one cares. And when it comes to Emily its a drama all over the internet 😂
3. Every religion can be seen as a „strange believe“….
Come on ppl. Get a life.
Well, that’s because everyone already knows that Tom Cruise is a Scientologist
Emily is hiding it
Sad
Cry more.
Why can you just not leave Emily Armstrong alone.
What do you want to achieve with your youtube pulication about the scientology subject?
Do you want that the band to kick Emily Armstrong out of the band?
For your Information, some people do not even care about this subject.
I do nont care either aboir rhe scientology subject. I love that Emily Armstrong is part of Linkin park low and that they are doing music and she has an amazing voice
Thank you for helping the UA-cam algorithm. Your comment will help this video get more views. (PS: Her voice isn’t amazing & Chester is always going to be better in my eyes)
People like you are the reason of why children trafficking will never end
Congratulations for being a braindead sheep with no moral compass I guess. Want a cookie?
Thank you for bringing this to light. If she's active I assume part of their procedes/her income goes to CoS?
I never doubted there was merrit to the claims but I just dont care rather she is or isn't. Personal religious preferences dont change how amazing the music Linkin Park makes currently is.. Rip Chester and no disrespect to the family but this is a little much.
As long as her being in the band doesn't change their stance on mental health, and she doesn't try to influence people/recruit people into Scientology, I can safely separate the art from the artist
@@arcadeguy781 what's crazy is she hasn't brought it up once. It's just everyone else bringing it to our attention in the name of exposing it.
@@breejordon6042 Bringing it up would not put her in danger, so it's odd that she hasn't said anything. Yes, she is one, but she's not at Tom Cruise's level. She's not going on news or talk shows to say how bad SSRIs are like he was. Plus, she dropped out of school, and Scientology school is messed up compared to public education.
Scientologist or not, music is music so who cares😁 cant wait for the new album🔥
Would listen to pdfs album too ? Or a serial killer ? She’s a horrible person connected to horrible things. She also can’t sing for Jack has a weak voice runs out of steam and can’t do the distorted vocals at all without running out of steam and sounding weak. She sucks as does your cultist comment.
Another xenu cultist
@@LostHorizons0 Yeah, compared to Chester Bennington, she's not even close to sounding as good. He put his heart and soul into those songs. You know what's interesting? I noticed that when they performed "Crawling," and Mike started rapping, he seemed out of it. Hell, she has the audience do half of the singer.
The reason why it matters is because the proceeds, at least some of them are being given to Scientology. Scientology abuses children. Would you say this about P Diddy? He makes music... Maybe we should give him a free pass on r'ing 13-year-olds
@@GaleriarchIA hey, if it doesn’t bother you that’s fine. Aaron even said that he was ok with that. I’m only boycotting concerts and merchandise
Ask the same thing here. You don't care about Emily being in this very influential position, you supporting the band, major part of her piece of the LP pie most likely ending up in you know where, leading to destruction of lot more individuals/families? It's a direct causality of support of the band, if these claims are true that she's still with them
