Who's complaining about theses guys platform? There are thousands of reaction channels that just do the song and either have a blank stare, stop the song every 15 seconds or just scream at the camera. No other channel makes you feel like you are just chilling with your friends laughing away and enjoying new music. Remember the Howard stern movie? "Why do people like him, because they want to hear what he says next. Well what about the one who hate him, they want to hear what he says next"
@mikethemotormouth yeah. Alex Hefner...... got tire of his exact same reaction to every single song. Not bad mouthing him but he's just not for me. Plus his greed got to him. He wanted 250 bucks to even consider doing a friend's band because he's remaining independent. When these guys did his band it was the very first time he wrote a comment. He's beyond grateful to these guys. My buddy has something very special for rappers react.
@KenBober ah I see. I can easily see how what I interpreted as high energy and enthusiasm, someone else can interpret as misdirected screaming at the camera. And I did not know about that "payola" shit. I stopped watching his channel when he got so political(what's Jordan Petersen up to this week?)
I was the right age (born 1987) to experience Linkin Park as a teen but never got into them and gravitated towards other bands.... It's only recently that I realised they were the one of the main voices of our generation. R.I.P. Chester.
Same here but a bit different. English isn't my native and though I know (and have been) it way better than an average person here it was hard for me to understand the lyrics by ear (especially at 14). For me it was pre-internet era here till about 2004. Only at late 00s I got meaning of their songs. Used to help me crawl through depression and still do as it never gone.
I'm 53 years young & still listen to Linkin Park, their music got me thru some tough times. Totally agree with you guys that the mid 90s thru the mid 2000s were a great time for music & I'm a Gen X that grew up in the 80s with all the hair bands! 😂 Ya'll need to check out some good ole 80s rock! 😁
We were lucky to be young in the 80s when the best music was being made. Edited to add I agree mid 90s to mid 2000s music was also awesome. Music today is garbage.
@@taylorstratford9717 Yep! It was about 150 degrees outside and my stupid ass wore jeans and a black T-shirt 🤣🤣🤣 here’s to being a dumbass 18-year-old!
Linkin Park was an important part of my teen years. I grew up extra sensitive and depressed, kinda bullied, kinda disregarded. Linkin's lyrics, as well as other bands', made me feel less alone, made me understand there were people out there who felt the same way, the same things, who questioned everything as I did, who understood the world was a cruel place. And it made me less misserable, less wary, it let me rest a bit. I can't be grateful enough for that. 33 now and in a somewhat better place, but I still mourn Chester.
@@laurenhoover6024 Hey thanks 👍 I really like Adema,but somehow I had forgotten about them! Probably because there are so many great bands that it's hard to remember them all.
2001 was a nice year of hits. Linkin Park - In the end Staind - It's been a while Coldplay - Trouble All these tracks ended up in the top40 charts after being at the top of the alternative rock charts for months.
Linkin Park got me through my teenage and early adult years (born 1983) and their songs definitely hit the right spot every time hearing them ❤ RIP Chester, I'm so sorry that we didn't hear your screams for help 😢 You helped so many of us ❤ Your light will shine forever 🥰
I'm a young Mom of a 33 yr old son! I grew up on MTV! I remember when this song dropped and I was rushing my son to hurry and finish his homework because I wanted to turn the TV on to watch the video! Lol I was and always will be a HUGE Chester and Linkin Park fan! I love it when Hollywood gets cranked up to a great song 🎵 Thanks for a great reaction!! I do listen to the oldies on the radio! Yes, they play Nirvana.
The nostalgia, memories, getting old, missing the way things were, friends that have come and gone. I don't know exactly why but this reaction made me emotional.
I wish I was born in the 90s or late 80s to experience bands like Korn, Slipknot, System of a down, Linkin Park that time in high school or just at school those years, even tho I still used to listen to some of their songs in my childhood, wasnt the same as experience that feeling, since I was born in the early 2000s,
I saw Korn and Tool headline lollapalooza together in 1997 with Snoop Dogg, The Chemical Brothers and The Marley Brothers. I've seen Korn, Tool and Disturbed 6 times each starting in 1997. Disturbed I saw on their first tour and the 6th time I saw them was their 25th year touring. We used to have the best concerts! Korn Family Values tour with Orgy, Rammstein, Staind, Ice Cube and Korn was one of the best concerts I've been to. And tickets for s show like that were under $50 each but now tickets are so crazy expensive! I took my niece to Warped Tour like 6 or 7 years ago and Avenged Sevenfold and Korn headlined and I took her to Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed for that 25th anniversary tour and it was awesome to share that experience with her. Linkin Park and Nirvana are 2 of the bands that I highly regret never getting to see live! ❤
@@MegsD79 I was born in '84. LP was definitely high school for me but Korn, Manson and SoaD were definitely Middle school for me. I think Slipknot debuted the summer between Middle school and Highschool for me.
@@DefinitelyNotBender I saw Slipknot pre-masks when I saw them the first time on a small stage at show that had a ton of bands and 2 or 3 different stages. Like ozzfest or Lollapalooza. I can't remember which one or what year. The next time I saw them they had the masks. Lol
Morning guys! Mannnn first off...R.I.P Chester. Such a good song! Such a great band! One of my favs! Linkin Park got me through some rough times! I'm glad you reacted to them today!❤️🤓
It's a very deep rabbit hole to dive into regarding this wonderful, honest young man's death, along with his friend Chris Cornell, and others too, for that matter. I remember when my son listened to them back in the late 80s or so. His death was a sad loss. RIP
I knew Chester a long time ago in his pre-LP days. He was the lead singer of a local band in AZ called Grey Daze. The drummer was the owner of Club Tattoo which is actually how I met/ knew Chester as I was buddies with him. Chester always seemed like a good guy to me. we're just aquaintences, but it's sad that he's gone. RIP brother... hope your heart and mind are at peace now...
The first time I ever listened to Linkin Park on purpose until after Chester died. I was watching Good Morning America and Linkin Park was supposed to perform that day. Instead Ryan Tedder of One Republic and Chris Cornell’s 12 year old daughter Toni sang Hallelujah which Chester had recently sang at Cornell’s funeral. When asked Toni said she was singing for Chester and her dad 💔 been listening since then. Sorry, I know that’s not what you asked for lol but it’s all I got 😊
Morning guys, best thing about not being able to sleep out west is that y'all have already dropped, glad to see Linkin Park today, can still be hard for me to listen to Chester singing sometimes💔...you should do their cover Adele's Rolling In The Deep, it's really beautiful!✌💚😎🌟
Y'all should check out more stuff from Meteora, I would recommend "From The Inside" or "Somewhere I Belong". Pick any song off of Hybrid Theory or Meteora and you're guaranteed to strike gold, every song is just absolute perfection!
I cannot believe that someone has not heard this song. I grew up with this ❤ Linkin Park was one of the bands who gave me a gateway to Rock and Metal 🫶🏼 ❤ I will never get tired of Linkin Park regardless. Born in 84, grew up in the golden years of Music 🙌🏼
Morning guys✨️✨️ I'm here in Cali getting my trash talk dose of the day! Now I'm in 65' heavy metal fan, Metallica, Iron Maiden etc.. and Linkin Park ripped a hole in music history by making a new lane! There was metal, rock n grunge at that point. They literally are the definition. Like thrash had its break through so did new rock/Linkin Park. I had the pleasure of getting to see them, they were a beast! Chester could rip through your soul with vocals like One step closer, Numb, including music for the most biggest blockbuster movie 🎬 Transformers twice for there films. They were huge! I hope 🙏 Chester found peace, he'll be forever loved & missed by all who loved there music 🎶 that day i cried. He struggled and his music showed that. Wish we could've been able to help him. I was barely getting over Chris Cornell, then Chester!! The same way too. 😢😭💔🖤
I listen to the radio in the uk to Boom radio which played music from the 50’s 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s. Being 62 it makes you feel young again, till they tell you a song is 50 Years old, and you remember it as it was yesterday.
12:00 I like your channel because you make it feel like two people who are just chilling and jamming to music that they maybe haven't of yet. Or maybe they haven't seen the video.😊🍿
I'm 57 and have always been a metalhead. I admit I had no idea who these guys were when I saw them at an Ozzfest. They were touring for their first album. They were absolutely fantastic live. Seeing these guys opened my eyes to an entire metal subgenre. This is by far my favorite song of theirs. R.I.P. Chester
Linkin Park in general is alternative rock. Only their first 2 album is nu metal. Check out their song with rap fusion. 1.Bleed it out (Mike's flows goes hard) 2.Waiting for the end (recommended, the instrumental is top notch) 4.Wretches and king 5.Lost in the echo 6.Hands held high (politic rap) 7.when they come for me (tribal drum instrumental) 8. nobody listening And so many more!
@@TheBeast-LPTV hmm, but what differentiates it from Nu Metal really? It got it's electronic/synth elements. Is turntable obligatory in Nu Metal? Maybe Hunting Party has, I think it has some if I remember correctly. Does it have to have a hiphop feel/groove? Some of Hunting Party has. Maybe the Nu Metal era was over long ago, might call it Post Nu Metal
@@TheBeast-LPTV yeah, lines are a little blurred on Hunting Party. A bunch of it has hiphop groove. Most of it has heavy guitar. A lot of rap. Subjects vary.
Ekoh, an independent artist, does a remix verse of the rap on a linkin park song and Mike Shinoda shared it. You guys should check it out. Ekoh is great and is very overlooked because he's independent. His song with Lo Spirit "Hello Loneliness" is very deep and a great song and he's song "Ted Talk" is a sick song concept!❤
In the end is a song I have truly lived through as I was introduced to it before I could understand the lyrics and listening to it over the years has gave it so much more gravity and depth than maybe even they realized but the music video makes me think that they truly did see that other side of the lyrics as being a universal concept/ guideline to live in the moment and embrace what's there. I don't think it's a song based on one event. I think it's a cry into the dark with no real answer.
Oldies stations still play the the music from 40-60s. Classic rock stations still play music from the 60-80s. Regular rock stations play music from the 90's on.
At work the classic rock station on the radio play nirvana, green day, Alice in chains etc. alongside the Beatles, Zeppelin and all what I remember of classic rock growing up in the 80s and 90s its pretty crazy
I've just found your channel and I have been thoroughly enjoying your reactions! Stay you, gentlemen. And I agree with you, they are what I would call new metal.
I was born in '92, I'm currently 31yo. Linkin Park was one of my childhood favorite bands growing up, I listened to Hybrid Theory and Meteora nonstop. Both of these albums captured the essence of the early 2000's perfectly, I think too many people took that era of music for granted and didn't fully appreciate it's greatness at the time (this goes for that era of pop/rap as well).
This song is legendary. It really touches down with ALOT of people and how they look at life and their own struggles. LP is one of the greatest bands of all time.
Crawling is my favorite Linkin Park song. You guys are great reactors. You try and listen to everything from Rock, rap, Dimash, PTX. You guys are all over the place. Love it. I sometimes listen terrestrial radio, I've definitely hear more rock music from the 80s and 90s. Metallica, Nirvana, Sound Garden, but they still play some disco and Ramones, Greatful Dead too.
Yes, I was listening to a "Classic Rock" radio station a few weeks ago expecting Led Zeppelin, Guns & Roses, etc. But I got Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, etc. I'm so damned old.
LP is my favourite band, though In the End is low on my fav LP songs but still good. On Howard Stern not to long ago Mike talked about how he wrote this song before Chester joined, with a different lead singer (Mark Wakefield) they went to many record companies with their CD and never got an interest. They tried so hard, worked so hard on the record, and Mark didn't feel like it was going anywhere and left the band (Band was called Xero at that time)
I love watching you guys. Awesome song, timeless. As far as 'classic rock' goes, I have to keep reminding myself that the late 90s and early 2000s are classic rock now. I'm a virtual DJ and mostly spin for a classic rock club. RIP Chester, you are missed.
Mike wrote this song both the lyrics and music. Joe Hahn (dj) co- directed this music video. This music video was Joe's design. When they filmed this music video they were still on tour for Hybrid Theory. They were home for about maybe 4 days just to film this music video. Joe also directed the music video for Its Going Down.
The other major song you guys where probably thinking of was probably "One Step Closer" which was the other song off of Hybrid Theory that got a massive amount of play back in the early 2000s.
Talk about “watch the time fly right out the window”! No way this is nearly 25 years old. “In The End” takes me straight back to being 18 and the possibility of my future. One thing for sure “ you wouldn’t even recognize me anymore-not that you knew me back then” 😏 I take the lyrics as being about a break up or other relationship ending. Someone gives their all and “…in the end-it doesn’t even matter.” Been there! Recently I heard a medium supposedly connect with Chester. I hope she’s right and he has finally found peace.
ANY song can be metal, that’s what makes it so much fun. Defining whether something is nu-metal or not is more like a philosophical exercise than it is an agreed upon scientific definition. Some might classify it as nu-metal, some might not - but in the end, it doesn’t even matter.
In The End, and the album it's from Hybrid Theory, are arguably what put Nu-Metal as a genre in the public sphere more than anything else. Todate the album sold more than 27 Million copies worldwide and is I believe still the best selling debut album of the 21st century, which is wild I gotta admit. Linkin Park somewhat rejected the label of Nu-Metal for a time, since a lot of the bands and moreso the fans of said groups were.... not the most behaved to be honest, but Chester said in an interview in 2012 that they embraced it, stating that: "I think for the first time in our history, we're actually OK with being recognized as a nu metal band, especially for what we did early in our careers, because the truth is that when we were first doing it, nobody else really was, especially in terms of the hip-hop thing." I love this song, and love the band, I hope you do more reactions, they have so many amazing songs you've yet to touch on~ (Quick recommendations in no real order: Points of Authority, Breaking the Habit, "Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" with Jay-Z, Waiting For The End, Castle Of Glass, Guilty All The Same feat Rakim.)
Nu metal was already a massive popular fad, and so was rap rock, which is why Warner Records tried to rebrand LP from their hip hop origins and sell them as part of those genres when they weren't.
I do like it, when you have conversation before the actual music video reaction. That makes the content more interesting to me. And I don't know when you started with 3 trivia questions at the beginning of every video but I like that too :) One band you really should start checking out and reacting to, is "Bullet for my Valentine" or "BFMV" for short. It is heavy metal nu metal and it is a great band. One of my favorite metal bands of all time.
It was depressive nu metal. Chester set out the gate his own feelings and fate. He knew what he was doing which makes all these song so powerful. Bless you Chester for being so honest.
I will not ever understand why people credit Chester with things Mike did. Chester was amazing. But my understanding is that MIKE, and not Chester, wrote the bulk of the lyrics. Even on parts of the song where MIKE is rapping, you guys credit Chester for that!
@@satanictaffy Exactly this. Ironically it's the people who consider themselves the biggest LP fans who understand LP the least. Hip hop was the core of their sound, not rock, and Mike was like 90% of the creative force behind the music, especially early on.
My son hung around chester and his family several times. Chester loved how my son walked through a lot of steps for baseball with his boys. They played for hours - had cook outs. My son was crushed when he died. Said he seen no signs that it was going to happen.
In 2022 google tells me there were 33.4 million physical CD sales total (And 41.3 million vinyl LPs) in the US. Hybrid Theory worldwide sold (by some sources) 32 million CDs (though 17.2 is the certified number) on its own. You could certainly make an argument that they had the last hit rock album of the physical media era.
@@TheBeast-LPTV I went off the wikipedia on it on the top selling albums, since I only did a bit of quick googling. Lookinjg on the official RIAA site now puts it at 12 million certified, but that looks to be US only certified sales based on the criteria on their page on gold & platinum sales.
@@FailedBard I'm a bit confused actually. Does stream count as sales aswell? Cs I remember reading if a song reaches certain stream, it counts as 1 sales.
@@TheBeast-LPTVI haven't looked into specifics on streaming, but I expect it's based on how many stream plays that they need to make a sale equivalent amount of money.
On the radio or Amazon Music, the classic Rock station plays Pearl Jam. So I don't even want to know, butI would assume that guns and roses and motley crew are on the golden oldies station 😅 which makes me feel ancient!
Their biggest hit? I'd say it's a three-way tie between this, Crawling, and One Step Closer 6:23 Naw nah na, every decade has some great music, if you know where to look, who to talk to, what to listen for. Early aughts was a great time for power pop, indie rock, hardcore, metal, folk, etc. Popularity, especially when it comes to music and art, should never be the sole metric to determine worth, creativity, technical prowess, what have you. Gotta get to My December if you haven't heard it! And I seem to remember you doing Crawling? Did that get blocked? Am i having a Mandela moment?
Funny you mention Nirvana! I remember when i was a freshman in high school (2003-2004) we were listening to the classic rock station- which was the only half-decent radio station in Panama City at the time- and they played "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and I thought it was crazy cos the song was only around 20 years old at the time. And I DEFINITELY have a hard time thinking of this song as "classic rock" for the same reason.
my favorite and not on Radio is "Breaking the Habit,,, makes me wanna jump up and down,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yeah guys it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As someone who still listens to broadcast airwaves, the Oldies stations still stick mostly to the 60s and prior(some 70s but mostly 60s and 50s). Classic rock stations have started to incorporate more music from the 80s and into the early 90s. Most rock stations that player newer music still will include stuff from the late 90s and newer with the occasional 80s metal and hair metal.
This is such an amazing song. To see how popular it is, just look at the number of views 1.6 billion clicks speak for themselves. Numb has even more (2.1 billion). That´s simply incredible
“There’s still a hip-hop element to us, and there’ll always be. But we’ve really moved away from anything that sounds like nu-metal. I know that we kind of helped create, I guess, the sound of that genre, but I hate that genre. I’m not going to speak for everyone, but I can personally tell you that I am not a big fan of almost everybody in that category. There are a few bands that I don’t really believe belong in there, and we’re one of those bands.” - Chester Bennington
Every time I hear Linkin Park the more respect I had for the vocals on Chester Bennington. I used to sing both Mike Shinodas parts. Not easy but I was the only one that could do both. I was just singing it when hearing it. This was for the Transformers movie. So deep. Man what a huge loss. He had the most versatile vocals. 😊❤
Wait what? No From the Inside, Crawling, Iridescent, My December or Somewhere I Belong ???? Thinking about what you have done, the ones I mentioned plus a few that I didn’t makes you realize how Great Linkin Park was/is
11:50 when I’m at my family’s cottage in the summertime my family play the oldies station and they play Nirvana now as well as lots of other grunge and 90s music Makes me feel old 😂😂
Just to say, I do still actively listen to 6 stations, partially cuz my truck is 10+ years old; but yeah, technically Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana are classic rock as they not only hit the decade mark, or the double, but are now 30 years old
Linkin park can be every genre , including nu metal but not specifically more than other genre they do. But in the end is definitely a mix between new metal and pop rock
@@PenneySoundsThis is not hip-hop. If you played this at a hip hop concert everyone would tell you to turn this off. Rapping doesn't always equal to hip-hop. There's hip hop rap, pop rap, rock rap, etc. This would be considered alternative rap metal.

Morning guys, best thing about not being able to sleep out west is that y'all have already dropped, glad to see Linkin Park today, can still be hard for me to listen to Chester singing sometimes💔...you should do their cover Adele's Rolling In The Deep, it's really beautiful!✌💚😎🌟
I almost forgot what a masterpiece of a song this is. This song opened my world up to a whole new type of music when it came out.😊😊😊
Such a good song. It is hard to believe how old it is now.
Brings memories from my youth too. I am 43 now. Born in 1979.
The lyrics resonate with me on such a deep level. They just get it😍
Man!!!!! I've been waiting way too long for this reaction!! LOVE IT ❤... Thx guys!!! Greetings from Ecuador
So glad to see more Linkin Park reactions on yall's channel they are one of my favorite bands Chester will always be missed.
Y'all should check out more stuff from Meteora, I would recommend "From The Inside" or "Somewhere I Belong". Pick any song off of Hybrid Theory or Meteora and you're guaranteed to strike gold, every song is just absolute perfection!
Memphis native and still live in the area. Loved just about all the local rap from the 90s to today.
This was the second single from thier first album (One Step Closer was the first) and this is the song that made me fall in love with LP!
I cannot believe that someone has not heard this song. I grew up with this ❤ Linkin Park was one of the bands who gave me a gateway to Rock and Metal 🫶🏼 ❤ I will never get tired of Linkin Park regardless. Born in 84, grew up in the golden years of Music 🙌🏼
Morning guys✨️✨️ I'm here in Cali getting my trash talk dose of the day! Now I'm in 65' heavy metal fan, Metallica, Iron Maiden etc.. and Linkin Park ripped a hole in music history by making a new lane! There was metal, rock n grunge at that point. They literally are the definition. Like thrash had its break through so did new rock/Linkin Park. I had the pleasure of getting to see them, they were a beast! Chester could rip through your soul with vocals like One step closer, Numb, including music for the most biggest blockbuster movie 🎬 Transformers twice for there films. They were huge! I hope 🙏 Chester found peace, he'll be forever loved & missed by all who loved there music 🎶 that day i cried. He struggled and his music showed that. Wish we could've been able to help him. I was barely getting over Chris Cornell, then Chester!! The same way too. 😢😭💔🖤
I listen to the radio in the uk to Boom radio which played music from the 50’s 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s. Being 62 it makes you feel young again, till they tell you a song is 50 Years old, and you remember it as it was yesterday.
12:00 I like your channel because
you make it feel like two people who are just chilling and jamming to music that they maybe haven't of yet. Or maybe they haven't seen the video.😊🍿
I'm 57 and have always been a metalhead. I admit I had no idea who these guys were when I saw them at an Ozzfest. They were touring for their first album. They were absolutely fantastic live. Seeing these guys opened my eyes to an entire metal subgenre. This is by far my favorite song of theirs. R.I.P. Chester
it was on juicy j's 2002 solo debut album chronicles of juiceman, the song smoke dat weed. i had thhe CD
You both are so awesome and genuine and I always come to see your reaction to a song. Thank you for being you and bringing me joy :)
Linkin Park in general is alternative rock. Only their first 2 album is nu metal.
Check out their song with rap fusion.
1.Bleed it out (Mike's flows goes hard)
2.Waiting for the end (recommended, the instrumental is top notch)
4.Wretches and king
5.Lost in the echo
6.Hands held high (politic rap)
7.when they come for me (tribal drum instrumental)
8. nobody listening
And so many more!
But what do we call Hunting Party?
@@DaP84 alternative metal, hard rock, rap rock and rap metal
@@TheBeast-LPTV hmm, but what differentiates it from Nu Metal really? It got it's electronic/synth elements. Is turntable obligatory in Nu Metal? Maybe Hunting Party has, I think it has some if I remember correctly. Does it have to have a hiphop feel/groove? Some of Hunting Party has. Maybe the Nu Metal era was over long ago, might call it Post Nu Metal
@@DaP84 basically nu metal has hiphop beat or Danceable beat, heavy guitar, rap ofc, and angsty lyrics while rap metal is just metal with rap on it.
@@TheBeast-LPTV yeah, lines are a little blurred on Hunting Party. A bunch of it has hiphop groove. Most of it has heavy guitar. A lot of rap. Subjects vary.
One of those bands that nobody can replicate. Amazing timeless.
They are one of my favorite slam metal bands
Linkin park is a good band because they discuss real shit and there’s no bullshit
Ekoh, an independent artist, does a remix verse of the rap on a linkin park song and Mike Shinoda shared it. You guys should check it out. Ekoh is great and is very overlooked because he's independent. His song with Lo Spirit "Hello Loneliness" is very deep and a great song and he's song "Ted Talk" is a sick song concept!❤
In the end is a song I have truly lived through as I was introduced to it before I could understand the lyrics and listening to it over the years has gave it so much more gravity and depth than maybe even they realized but the music video makes me think that they truly did see that other side of the lyrics as being a universal concept/ guideline to live in the moment and embrace what's there. I don't think it's a song based on one event. I think it's a cry into the dark with no real answer.
Oldies stations still play the the music from 40-60s. Classic rock stations still play music from the 60-80s. Regular rock stations play music from the 90's on.
They were amazing live when I saw them at an Ozzfest! Great memory. RIP to Chester the Molester
At work the classic rock station on the radio play nirvana, green day, Alice in chains etc. alongside the Beatles, Zeppelin and all what I remember of classic rock growing up in the 80s and 90s its pretty crazy
I've just found your channel and I have been thoroughly enjoying your reactions! Stay you, gentlemen. And I agree with you, they are what I would call new metal.
I was born in '92, I'm currently 31yo. Linkin Park was one of my childhood favorite bands growing up, I listened to Hybrid Theory and Meteora nonstop. Both of these albums captured the essence of the early 2000's perfectly, I think too many people took that era of music for granted and didn't fully appreciate it's greatness at the time (this goes for that era of pop/rap as well).
I was in 6th or 7th grade when I was rocking to this, still a banger imo. RIP Chester.
This song is legendary. It really touches down with ALOT of people and how they look at life and their own struggles. LP is one of the greatest bands of all time.
LP got me into nu metal, rock, electronica and Chester got me into screaming vocals. May he rock in Paradise.
Crawling is my favorite Linkin Park song. You guys are great reactors. You try and listen to everything from Rock, rap, Dimash, PTX. You guys are all over the place. Love it. I sometimes listen terrestrial radio, I've definitely hear more rock music from the 80s and 90s. Metallica, Nirvana, Sound Garden, but they still play some disco and Ramones, Greatful Dead too.
i was 15 / 16 when i first heard linkin park. Also while pregnant back in 2003 i would gently dance to linkin park
Another Nu metal band you can react to is Taproot with the song POEM. It’s my favorite Taproot Song 😊 Have a great week
Oldies are now 70s, 80s and 90s. I'm a 70s rock chick but instantly liked the fusion of Rap and Heavy Metal. RIP Chester ✝️ 🙏 💐
Yes, I was listening to a "Classic Rock" radio station a few weeks ago expecting Led Zeppelin, Guns & Roses, etc. But I got Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, etc. I'm so damned old.
LP is my favourite band, though In the End is low on my fav LP songs but still good. On Howard Stern not to long ago Mike talked about how he wrote this song before Chester joined, with a different lead singer (Mark Wakefield) they went to many record companies with their CD and never got an interest. They tried so hard, worked so hard on the record, and Mark didn't feel like it was going anywhere and left the band (Band was called Xero at that time)
I love watching you guys. Awesome song, timeless. As far as 'classic rock' goes, I have to keep reminding myself that the late 90s and early 2000s are classic rock now. I'm a virtual DJ and mostly spin for a classic rock club. RIP Chester, you are missed.
Mike wrote this song both the lyrics and music. Joe Hahn (dj) co- directed this music video. This music video was Joe's design. When they filmed this music video they were still on tour for Hybrid Theory. They were home for about maybe 4 days just to film this music video. Joe also directed the music video for Its Going Down.
The other major song you guys where probably thinking of was probably "One Step Closer" which was the other song off of Hybrid Theory that got a massive amount of play back in the early 2000s.
Talk about “watch the time fly right out the window”! No way this is nearly 25 years old. “In The End” takes me straight back to being 18 and the possibility of my future. One thing for sure “ you wouldn’t even recognize me anymore-not that you knew me back then” 😏
I take the lyrics as being about a break up or other relationship ending. Someone gives their all and “…in the end-it doesn’t even matter.” Been there!
Recently I heard a medium supposedly connect with Chester. I hope she’s right and he has finally found peace.
We are old now lol
ANY song can be metal, that’s what makes it so much fun.
Defining whether something is nu-metal or not is more like a philosophical exercise than it is an agreed upon scientific definition. Some might classify it as nu-metal, some might not - but in the end, it doesn’t even matter.
Still one of my favorite songs to this day.
In The End, and the album it's from Hybrid Theory, are arguably what put Nu-Metal as a genre in the public sphere more than anything else. Todate the album sold more than 27 Million copies worldwide and is I believe still the best selling debut album of the 21st century, which is wild I gotta admit.
Linkin Park somewhat rejected the label of Nu-Metal for a time, since a lot of the bands and moreso the fans of said groups were.... not the most behaved to be honest, but Chester said in an interview in 2012 that they embraced it, stating that:
"I think for the first time in our history, we're actually OK with being recognized as a nu metal band, especially for what we did early in our careers, because the truth is that when we were first doing it, nobody else really was, especially in terms of the hip-hop thing."
I love this song, and love the band, I hope you do more reactions, they have so many amazing songs you've yet to touch on~
(Quick recommendations in no real order: Points of Authority, Breaking the Habit, "Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" with Jay-Z, Waiting For The End, Castle Of Glass, Guilty All The Same feat Rakim.)
Nu metal was already a massive popular fad, and so was rap rock, which is why Warner Records tried to rebrand LP from their hip hop origins and sell them as part of those genres when they weren't.
I do like it, when you have conversation before the actual music video reaction. That makes the content more interesting to me. And I don't know when you started with 3 trivia questions at the beginning of every video but I like that too :) One band you really should start checking out and reacting to, is "Bullet for my Valentine" or "BFMV" for short. It is heavy metal nu metal and it is a great band. One of my favorite metal bands of all time.
It was depressive nu metal. Chester set out the gate his own feelings and fate. He knew what he was doing which makes all these song so powerful. Bless you Chester for being so honest.
I will not ever understand why people credit Chester with things Mike did. Chester was amazing. But my understanding is that MIKE, and not Chester, wrote the bulk of the lyrics. Even on parts of the song where MIKE is rapping, you guys credit Chester for that!
@@satanictaffy Exactly this. Ironically it's the people who consider themselves the biggest LP fans who understand LP the least. Hip hop was the core of their sound, not rock, and Mike was like 90% of the creative force behind the music, especially early on.
My son hung around chester and his family several times. Chester loved how my son walked through a lot of steps for baseball with his boys. They played for hours - had cook outs. My son was crushed when he died. Said he seen no signs that it was going to happen.
Smokey's t-shirt is the real star of this video.
You need to check out Crawling by them.
It's up there with Numb, In The End, etc.
Hello good humans!
In 2022 google tells me there were 33.4 million physical CD sales total (And 41.3 million vinyl LPs) in the US. Hybrid Theory worldwide sold (by some sources) 32 million CDs (though 17.2 is the certified number) on its own. You could certainly make an argument that they had the last hit rock album of the physical media era.
How do you check it mate? The certified one
@@TheBeast-LPTV I went off the wikipedia on it on the top selling albums, since I only did a bit of quick googling.
Lookinjg on the official RIAA site now puts it at 12 million certified, but that looks to be US only certified sales based on the criteria on their page on gold & platinum sales.
@@FailedBard I'm a bit confused actually. Does stream count as sales aswell? Cs I remember reading if a song reaches certain stream, it counts as 1 sales.
@@TheBeast-LPTVI haven't looked into specifics on streaming, but I expect it's based on how many stream plays that they need to make a sale equivalent amount of money.
On the radio or Amazon Music, the classic Rock station plays Pearl Jam. So I don't even want to know, butI would assume that guns and roses and motley crew are on the golden oldies station 😅 which makes me feel ancient!
Nookie was already a word before Durst. He just reinvigorated it.
Thanks for this reaction. I still can't believe Chester is gone.
Late to the comments, but the term "NU-METAL"...
LP defined NU-METAL.
They're one-of-three pioneers of the genre.
Still think you guys would enjoy Psychostick - Two Ton Paperweight.
It still hurts that Chester is gone. RIP Chester❤❤
Their biggest hit? I'd say it's a three-way tie between this, Crawling, and One Step Closer
6:23 Naw nah na, every decade has some great music, if you know where to look, who to talk to, what to listen for. Early aughts was a great time for power pop, indie rock, hardcore, metal, folk, etc. Popularity, especially when it comes to music and art, should never be the sole metric to determine worth, creativity, technical prowess, what have you.
Gotta get to My December if you haven't heard it! And I seem to remember you doing Crawling? Did that get blocked? Am i having a Mandela moment?
Funny you mention Nirvana! I remember when i was a freshman in high school (2003-2004) we were listening to the classic rock station- which was the only half-decent radio station in Panama City at the time- and they played "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and I thought it was crazy cos the song was only around 20 years old at the time. And I DEFINITELY have a hard time thinking of this song as "classic rock" for the same reason.
my favorite and not on Radio is "Breaking the Habit,,, makes me wanna jump up and down,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yeah guys it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As someone who still listens to broadcast airwaves, the Oldies stations still stick mostly to the 60s and prior(some 70s but mostly 60s and 50s). Classic rock stations have started to incorporate more music from the 80s and into the early 90s. Most rock stations that player newer music still will include stuff from the late 90s and newer with the occasional 80s metal and hair metal.
I listen to an "oldies" station at work: they play Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson and stuff like that.
This is such an amazing song. To see how popular it is, just look at the number of views 1.6 billion clicks speak for themselves. Numb has even more (2.1 billion). That´s simply incredible
I said this band is 100% new metal. May Chester Bennington continue to rest in peace.
“There’s still a hip-hop element to us, and there’ll always be. But we’ve really moved away from anything that sounds like nu-metal. I know that we kind of helped create, I guess, the sound of that genre, but I hate that genre. I’m not going to speak for everyone, but I can personally tell you that I am not a big fan of almost everybody in that category. There are a few bands that I don’t really believe belong in there, and we’re one of those bands.” - Chester Bennington
RIP Chester and Chris. Neither killed themselves.
Ive always loved nu metal and post grunge. These guys are amazing!
Great song
Every time I hear Linkin Park the more respect I had for the vocals on Chester Bennington. I used to sing both Mike Shinodas parts. Not easy but I was the only one that could do both. I was just singing it when hearing it. This was for the Transformers movie. So deep. Man what a huge loss. He had the most versatile vocals. 😊❤
Wait what? No From the Inside, Crawling, Iridescent, My December or Somewhere I Belong ???? Thinking about what you have done, the ones I mentioned plus a few that I didn’t makes you realize how Great Linkin Park was/is
11:50 when I’m at my family’s cottage in the summertime my family play the oldies station and they play Nirvana now as well as lots of other grunge and 90s music
Makes me feel old 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 Encore was the Jay-Z song in the Mash Up with Numb! It was definitely a hit, though! 😂😂😂😂
Got me soooooooo hyped!!! Love it! ZRIP CHESTER!!!! Love forever!!! ❤❤❤❤
I can't believe you guys haven't done "Crawling"
Just to say, I do still actively listen to 6 stations, partially cuz my truck is 10+ years old; but yeah, technically Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana are classic rock as they not only hit the decade mark, or the double, but are now 30 years old
I love your show before the starting the song! Don’t get rid of it.
Chester was a gift, and I hope he's somewhere better now, and at peace.
Linkin park can be every genre , including nu metal but not specifically more than other genre they do. But in the end is definitely a mix between new metal and pop rock
It's hip hop with some guitars on it. It's not rock at all.
@@PenneySounds it’s very much part of the rock spectrum
@@gabrielleroux2333 It's absolutely not. Playing guitars over hip hop does not make it rock.
@@PenneySounds they are definitely rock, go elsewhere to be a hating crybaby and argue with yourself 🙄😡🤬🖕
@@PenneySoundsThis is not hip-hop. If you played this at a hip hop concert everyone would tell you to turn this off. Rapping doesn't always equal to hip-hop. There's hip hop rap, pop rap, rock rap, etc. This would be considered alternative rap metal.
Nostalgia, i love linkin park, thank you for this great reaction ❤❤❤
