Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@AtibaVV says : Rip chester. I grew listening to linkin park since like 2006>> <<@AtibaVV says : Love u buddy. Grew up watching your videos man. U always seemed like a cool dude to me. Love the metal music keep doing u and rocking out, living life to the fullest. Your a Legend frs man>> <<@justinhouse8330 says : Emily is amazing trust me! No 1 can replace chester but Emily would me an excellent place holder!>> <<@KarlKapo says : It's about she is a Scientologist. Defended convicted Danny Masterson, against psychiatric medicine, and all.>> <<@Dannyboy869 says : To the people complaining about Emily Armstrong being the new LP vocalist. STFU be happy Linkin Park is back together. If you should blame anyone blame mike shinoda. He was the one who hired her.>> <<@regionalrange3052 says : Emo Negro needs more subs>> <<@jamesharry4587 says : I’m curious if you watch any Tom Cruise movies?>> <<@swagman2250 says : Nobody even gave a shit about Linkin Park even when Chester died, which is probably why he committed suicide honestly, because the album's reception was poor. What makes Linkin Park think that people are gonna give a shit about them now, especially when Chester is out of the picture.>> <<@J.Skyler says : bro let’s not pretend emily couldn’t get the wood if she wanted>> <<@johnnyflannigan136 says : Shes good and all........ But shes no COMMANDER SHEPARD>> <<@FlawedCoil82 says : I would have liked to see them pick someone like Austin from The Broken View. I think he sounds very similar (they even have a really good cover of “Breaking The Habit” here on YouTube).>> <<@killer1one1 says : I think obviously the best possible way they could have handled this is to go the Audioslave/New Order route. I also think they obviously kept the Linkin Park name because they sold 40,000 tickets on literally one day's notice lol. A new band, even if it's the old band, could *never* do that. Branding matters.>> <<@justintilton6857 says : The old songs with her voice do not sound too great. Their new song I like and curious for the album. I believe things could be better if Emily openly apologized to the victims she harrased while she was supporting Danny Masterson. Made to support him just sounds weird like who made you. Sucks as LP was a band that got me through alot and want to give the new LP a try but I don't know. I don't mind moving on with out Chester but not in this way.>> <<@Brae_Zen says : I want to raise this also maybe justmaybe some of our taste in music has changed and we are still attached to LP for nostalgia and the fact we have emotional connections to the songs, i know i have been leaning into techno/trance more now than i used to idk do i like it? Nope Scientology is the reason>> <<@M_K-Bomb says : Personally, I first saw the band photo and was like who are these people and why is there a woman in the band dressed so casually. And, then when I heard the song I was like this doesn't sound the same. It doesn't have the same aggression.>> <<@PureEvil1138 says : Chester is not some kind of hero. He selfishly took himself out and left I think 6 children behind>> <<@PureEvil1138 says : People care way too much about this>> <<@-Daidalos says : Linkin Park going on with their Band is fine to me. I was a fan of Emily before already, used to listen to Dead Sara in the past from time to time, but I didn't know anything about her. As an artist I think she fits in really well with te new Song, but I didn't hear her sing the old Songs. I can kind of understand the Danny Masterson thing. I mean if my friend would accused of a Crime, I would probably not believe it at first either, and she did distance herself from him now, so it is pretty suspect, but at least she distanced herself. But the Scientology thing is bad.>> <<@rievenailo says : Linkin Park is a business. Businesses need to move on. Letting go of the name after so many years of creating brand recognition would be throwing away a huge investment.>> <<@Era5uS says : Mass effect t shirt??? Rly iga?>> <<@LShockwave4 says : Dead Sara did the cover of Heart Shaped Box in the trailer for Infamous Second Son. That’s how I found out about them years ago!>> <<@CormacTunstead says : Jamie Bennington seems to be spiraling big time & has a lot of controversy involving everyone that was close to his dad Chester in recent years... Tilinda (Chester's window) even has a restraining order against him... & he has beef with "Dead By Sunrise"... Not a good look at all... Very heartbreaking as the family seem to be in shambles over him. Knowing that mental illness runs in the family, I can only hope he gets help & that others don't feed into his manic state... Other than that, personally I think its a bit over bloated noise & reactions for a band that everyone deeply cares about as a way of dealing with some form of grief for Chester. Emily can't openly speak out against the cult as she would lose family & horrific things would come from that if so... she's openly gay, to which the cult also don't tolerate. I think she's stuck between a rock & a hard place... she's human after all, we all have Skelton's from our past but I know that means not everyone should get a pass either. I couldn't agree more that the key changes were not the best move! They should really revert back to the original as Mike was also struggling to compensate but give it time & they'll settle in & figure it out. Mike & the guy have every right to continue the band they started & worked their whole life on & nobody is forgetting Chester, in fact, over the last 2 years, they are as popular as ever & bringing in new fans, which is upholding Chester's legacy ♥>> <<@pehzspeedruns says : We saw the gay linkin park covet, you need to be the lead singer>> <<@CevicheGato says : They could’ve made a different band. It could’ve gotten former band members. Even without their lead singer. It happened before in music history. Even former members of famous bands made either a solo career or made their own band and did their own thing.>> <<@meepmoopiethe3rd says : Linkin Park was the first band I got really into in my teen years. The first music I heard that resonated with me as a clinically depressed kid from a troubled home. The music let me know I wasn't alone. That other people hurt. That it doesn't have to be the end. It was music like this that kept me from killing myself. Genuinely. Angry ass music has always been one of those things that can calm me down no matter what, and to this day Linkin Park is one of my go-tos when I feel like I'm about to crumble to pieces. That being said. I do not like that they replaced Chester. Dude was one of a kind. You could find someone who can mimic his voice perfectly, but they'll never be able to sing with the emotion he had in those songs. It's hard to replicate that in a song you didn't help create. Also, M. Shinoda caught into the crypto and NFT grifts, so I'm not at all surprised he'd like someone who is a scientologist. I try not to hear news about him because it makes me realize he's probably a trash human, and that makes me sad.>> <<@oliverthulin8192 says : I don’t know much about Scientology but I get the impression they hold views that people think are offensive. But Christian people think that gay people are abominations so let’s calm down a bit? No one would care if she walked around with a crucifix, because that kind of offensive weirdo is “normal”.>> <<@scubarubanzaii says : People be like “It’s not the same band without Chester” You going to discredit the sound of the 5 other members who have been consistent? Insane. It sounds more like Linkin Park than the One More Light album (song example: “Heavy”) entirely, which HAS Chester in it.>> <<@Tyler-jp4vz says : I understand why they got a women alright. Gotta push that feminist agenda right?>> <<@pauledge1621 says : Creed sounded different with their second bassist. Metallica sounded different with each bassist. AC/dc sounded different with each singer Van Haggar was "different" Linkin Park will never sound the same because they are not the same.>> <<@mrsleep0000 says : I was always amazed how popular they got writing the same song over and over. Like, they don't even try to mix it up, even a little bit.>> <<@devon9822 says : I don’t like her voice. It’s bland. Their new music is just the same. They can have their new crap.>> <<@BurninatorTheTrogdor says : Isn't that the Australian breakdancer chick?>> <<@victornovak8558 says : There's Chester fans and Linkin Park fans. That's really, really sad. How people only care about Chester instead of the entire group. So very disrespectful these fans are.>> <<@mrtsvlks says : I think Emily is great singer. I think Xenu or Jesus or whatever cult you believe in is whatever. I think Chester's son has mental illness. And I think yes they should continue because Mike knows the best what he wants to do, since hes the Linkin Park, even before Chester was in the band.>> <<@SoldierSpiderx says : I truthfully believe that whoever that brought out for their new singer would still got backlash, like it could been anyone that she a Scientology that also she threat one of the witness of Danny Masterson victims that where I had a problem with and Chester own son dislike her, I like her voice but that I got a mix feeling like image you get threat by her and years later you see her become one of the best bands ever I would hate it>> <<@MikeMine2000 says : Though there are definitely some good reasons to criticize the recent choices, when i stumbled into it it was just "This is so disrespectful to Chester" "Chester is turning in his grave" and just so much NONSENSE that completely disregarded the fact that Linkin Park is a BAND not a one man project. Chester had his impact, but the songs aren't HIS alone. And that's what ive seen be the biggest (misguided) criticism towards the new direction>> <<@FsMetal-gk4iw says : Her singing voice ok. Her screaming vocal sound awful. I really did not like them>> <<@StormRulerKazunagi says : people dont care about nuance>> <<@brianbethel9673 says : I just love that you use streets of rage 2 sound track in your back ground, I wanna say its the boat stage>> <<@guyderagisch4964 says : Journey found a random person that had the exact same vocals as thier original vocalist. Just saying>> <<@darlindodan3603 says : The best in this business are in at least 3 bands. They could have come up with a new band and performed the classic linkin park songs at shows. Most people would love it and be down.>> <<@IIIPackyIII says : She sounds like shit>> <<@jefferythibodeaux5573 says : I think Chester’s son is just butthurt, no one is erasing Chester’s life or legacy he’s been immortalized>> <<@jefferythibodeaux5573 says : I just want more music>> <<@Akaeus says : I guess the fans think they've know what's best for LP and that Mike and the rest have no idea what they're doing at all... ffs smh>> <<@jonathanr72 says : Wouldn't Linkin Park with a girl singing just be an Evanescence clone?>> <<@bartech101 says : WTF Chester is gone. Chester family is not part of LP. Mike is most important part of the LP and no one should tell him what to do. So again STFU!>> <<@MrBloodcore says : I like her voice for a blues band.>> <<@mihininja says : The new song was pretty good I think there's just a very big bias against change. Sure Emily Armstrong wasn't amazing in the live but considering it's her first live show at this scale with such intense screaming it's only natural for her to struggle initially.>> <<@brandon_crow1291 says : As an artist she's got a decent voice. Just not right for LP. As a person and her connections to Scientology she definitely has no business being in LP or really any band. And Chesters son is 100% right.>>
