I am 30 years old dude grew up with Linkin Park. Chester's voice became a part of my life, a part of my good/bad memories. he is not replaceable and I think Emily knows that. she knew people will say "you are not chester" but she stepped up anyway. Emily has all my respect for the courage to walk on the hard road. Good luck to her and all Linkin Park🍀
35 yo. I started Learneing English as my third language by translating Linkin park and Evanescence songs early 2000s in high school. LP was a big part of my teens and 20s
I wonder if she thought people were gona pull up that Scientology or Danny masterson ish. She ain’t all that either sounds like Karaoke when she does old songs. She nice to look at 🤷🏻♂️💦
@@ZZ-vl5nd 14 years old, growing up with linkin park throughout my entire life, and i do miss chester, but emily will be a big help with anything i go through during the next *insert random number of years here* years
Chester will forever be irreplaceable, but this new chapter for Linkin Park feels like the perfect way to honor him. Emily and the band sound incredible!
It was his choice. He's distanced himself from the band for years. He wasn't around by his own choice for the papercuts release or hybrid theory rerelease
Wasn't sure about this direction... but I'm sold. The fact that they didn't try to find a Chester sound-alike was absolutely the right way to go. Well done! Linkin Park is back!
None will ever replace Chester. It took the band 7 years to move on, we need to move on as well. Chester would be proud. Welcome Emily to the LP family ❤ Can't wait for the new album! 🙏
Me. I love it, it is a great foundation for anew journey with LP. I remember when the first hit and how they were vilified for their not being one thing or the other in the music press. Y
The second Emily hit the chorus I cried. It's like they never left, and I've never been happier. My favorite band ever is back, and sounding incredible.
It’s got me feeling some kind of way. I came into this so ready to dismiss her and the band. I’m not fond of female singers in general and anyone trying to fill Chester’s place has a lot stacked against them. But Gods be damned if she doesn’t nail it. I truly love this song and the other released and she is perfect.
I love how this song starts with Mike Shinoda and gives us a minute for us to get adjusted to the new song before introducing us to the new vocalist Emily Armstrong. It's the perfect first single for the rebirth of Linkin Park.
Have you heard any of her old band’s (Dead Sara) stuff? All of that is super good too. She also sounds incredible live. I went to a slash and Myles Kennedy concert and dead Sara opened. She’s kick ass
I agree, they timed everything perfectly for that show. Castle of Glass as an intro with Chester's voice modified, the new single as the opening song, Numb in the middle which matches the context of Emily trying to exist in LP now, and her duo with Mike at the end. I also loved to see the others members of LP smilling at Emily to show their support and their joy to be back!
Yeah but not everyone agrees with that apparently. She sounds good but idk if they will reach the levels of Chester fronted LP. We'll see. I think I need to get used to it, I will be buying the album for sure, been a fan for over 20 years now.
Ive never heard of Emily but I got goosebumps when she started screaming. No one can ever replace Chester but she's paying tribute in such a beautiful and impressive way
Smartest decision they made. Trying to replace him with any guy would be career suicide because they will never live up to expectations. Going a completely different route allows a new chapter to start.
@@vict1435Exactly. A guy would always be in Chester’s shadow. A girl is a new and unpaved path and cannot be compared in the same way. Emily has a clean slate. And she looks like a great choice 🔥
as a die-hard Chester fan, I don't think this is an attempt to replace Chester I think it's an attempt to move on and keep moving forward and I absolutely love this song. It definitely embodies the spirit of the band and nobody is ever going to replace chester. I'm super excited to have her as the singer for Linkin park. Keep up the Great work.
On Rob's departure from the band: Shinoda: Rob had said to us at a point, I guess it was a few years ago now, that he wanted to put some distance between himself and the band. And we understood that - it was already apparent. He was starting to just show up less, be in less contact, and I know the fans noticed it too. The Hybrid Theory rerelease and Papercuts release, he didn't show up for anything. So for me, as a friend, that was sad, but at the same time, I want him to do whatever makes him happy, and obviously everybody wishes him the best.
My biggest regret is never attending a live concert while Chester was alive. I will not miss the opportunity this time. Count me in for this new era. The band is sounding AMAZING. Welcome, Emily!
@@frutosergio i was there many times and I would tell you unforgettable moments I still have the ticket when they come switzerland for the first time. Hallenstadion was earthquacking. I remember we did a flag with our messages for them and they put it on the piano, we cried from happiness, i have a drum stick from rob bourdon and guitar plettros with the logo LP, I remember When chester and Mike came to us while playing in the end, we have great pics with them we gave the hand to chester and mike 🥲🥹🥹🥹 I would never forget how cool that band was and never forget what they created with underground pass! I still have friends from all over the world cuz of them.. I remember it was always a fear with chester he always had up and downs and I still remember reading about HIS depresión. But I will never know the truth. He left a big big family.
Mike. You bastard. You made a 46 year old man cry. Great song, Emily roars like a lion and it's amazing that I feel like I can feel Chester roaring in the background. Thank you for coming back.
It's been a month since this song has come out and honestly, it's up there for me in my top 5 favorite Linkin Park songs and I've been a fan for the past 20 years now. Thank you for bringing back LP and welcome to the LP family Emily!
@@drumuraiit's visuals are similar too a song that Chester did on an older album I cannot remember what song exactly but I feel like it's off the album with lost in the echo etc.
I feel like we’re definitely on Linkin park 4.0 or 5.0 at this point especially if you consider that they were called Xero, and Hybrid Theory before Chester came on board, and they had to change their name to Linkin Park.
The starting with Emily first verses gives me the chills and goosebumps with every listen. just so freaking amazing. i like how she can interchange between singing lines cleanly and switchup to the raspy and heavier screams. Just incredible talent
As long as Mike is still there, it will always sound like Linkin Park. Because he writes and produces most of their songs. In The End, Breaking the Habit, Burn it Down, One More Light, One Step Closer, Castle of Glass and way more. Even this song, he wrote it and sang the whole song himself until he changed it for Emily.
@RagingKabuto i mean not even about real or fake fans, it's just fans who cannot move on. They still have their pain held on for so long, that can't be healthy. Prodigy also had a few concerts recently after having lost one of their main frontmen, even though they always leave room in their concert for the ghost of Keith, they will also have to move on and find what could be eventually their successor. It's something that Corey from Slipknot spoke a lot about, having Slipknot being this group that represents something, regardless of its members, which is important to its continuation. People always spoke about "x member era of y band", why is it unacceptable now? It's irrational pain fans have that need processing. Don't forget Chester, but also move on. The message is still there!!
Ive been a fan of Linkin Park from the get go but this just has no feeling in it and it doesn't belong good vocals don't get me wrong but no woman should be a vocal on Linkin Park if they cannot match the emotion and feelings poured into the music
Linkin inspires me.. My parents said if i get 1K likes on my vid They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging..
I'm 24 and linkin park was my childhood, i remember listening to his songs since 2006 at least and by 2008 I had listened to most of his old tracks, had them on my portable music player and PC.
@@pieepshow4705 I cried as well, and wanted to throw up when I heard who their new front person was! She, and her cult, commit human rights violations on a daily basis, and her mother is one of those organizes the plans against the people that speak out against the cult. Just take a few minutes and learn. TH-cam SPTV
They're not back, so you're right not to believe. This is not LP. It's a desperate attempt to keep a dead band going. Not because the other band members were useless but it's not the band without Chester.
I am in tears. Linkin Park was the first CD I ever bought, I'm a lifelong fan and have an emotional connection to the band. Very well put everyone, Emily is not a replacement, but a new beginning all while honoring Chester. LINKIN PARK IS BAAAAACK!!!!!
I could have write your message, linkin park was the first cd I got in my life, my (now) 13 years old daughter loves them too, wears their stuff, she had the chance to attend mike’s concert and met jim after the show, they are a big part of our life every day, and this ! What’s happening now is just kind of magic ! What a new beginning ! ❤
I'm 36. Sitting right now listening to this song with tears in my eyes and remembering myself listening to Meteora 20 years ago. Thanks for the spark and goosebumps I've been waiting for so long! LP
Yeah. I cried and smiled too. For happiness. It’s a new era for them now but at the same time it’s a celebration of their history. In a memory of Chester. I’m so happy they continue and make new music. I’m excited to see what the future brings. I’m so happy that they are happy. Good to see Mike being healed and him smiling. ❤️
With everything going on in the world right now? I think there are 3 generations of people that really need this. The audiences at the new concerts speak for themselves. People need just one thing to look forward to and find some semblance of comfort or joy in. Something people can relate to. Two new songs and both of them are already beautiful. Thank you guys for coming back. Don't listen to the hate. Because some people out there really want or need to hear you again. Welcome to the band, Emily.
They waited long enough, they showed enough respect to Chester's memory, and they honored Chester by not having anyone replace him even in the first part in this song. It’s not a replacement, it’s a new member and I’m ok with that. Her performence is amazing by the way, she fits there.
This is honestly as good as it gets for me. She absolutely nailed it in this song. They all did an incredible job. I'm a old fan here and I completely approve of her as the lead singer. I know there has been some hate and I just don't get it. Can't wait for more of her and Linkin Park.
I watched the live, honestly I love how she sings. But she needs to be more confident about her own skills. When she was singing their old songs, I found that she was trying to imitate previous way of singing a bit too much, which didn't worked that well, but she had flashes when she was just singing with her own voice and it was BEAUTIFUL! She's not a replacement for Chester, she has her own insane talent, and she should use that. She has skills to be side by side with Chester, not a replacement. I'm all in for future of Linkin Park overall. I gave up on them few years ago when they leaned more into pop instead of metal, but this piece here proves they still have it in them. And that girl has the potential to breathe a brand new life into the band I fell in love in since I was 12. Ps.: people really don't appreciate how insanely difficult it is to growl properly. My friend, who is death metal musician, tried to teach me, and I hurt my throat for few months. The way she does it is absolute bliss!
Emily Armstrong and Mike Shinoda's vocal chemistry in ‘The Emptiness Machine’ is incredible. This song feels like the start of a new chapter for the band.❤❤
The first time I listened to this song I didn't pay too much attention to the lyrics But the second time... it just hit the spot too well... I'm fuckin crying...
Did anyone notice the subtle callbacks to Numb, Crawling and Somewhere I belong? Numb : "I'm tired of being what you want me to be" Emptiness Machine : "Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be" Crawling : "Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal" Emptiness Machine : "Already pulling me in, Already under my skin" Somewhere I belong : "Somehwere I belong" Emptiness Machine : "I only wanted to be part of something“ And if the lyrics weren't enough, the story in the video at 00:45 and 1:41 are callbacks to Numb and Crawling! Finally, the generation that listened to LP was fighting expectations from parents. The same generation is now fighting expectations from society as adults. The video makes so much sense! Goosebumps! What a masterpiece! If you know, you know!
Where? I don't hear it at all. I just here the same generic singing of every female alt rock singer. It's bland, and honestly that's putting it nicely.
@@MrRoneoRegondola Listen again, the passion isn't there. She screams as rehearsed, Chester screamed from a guttural desperation and pain. Her cult, Scientology, doesn't believe in professional health care of any kind, nor do they believe in mental illness. Sxly abused children are told it's their fault, as they "brought it in" on themselves. They can't even bring the crimes to the attention to the authorities. These children must discover their past crimes in a past lifetime. Not just on earth, but any planet in the galactic federation. If this sounds unreal, like Science Fiction, it's because Scientology was started by a science fiction writer! Penny, a page Sci-fi author L. Ron Hubbard. Chester deserves more from his former band mates. I will continue to educate fans!
@@flyingfreak90 oh I'm sorry for sharing my opinion, I forgot your; if I dont agree im retarded and deserve the ax. Life IS tough, especially when your taste in music is garbage.
The simplicity of this track is why it’s so great. I am mostly a prog rock guy who listens to a lot of Tool, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, etc., but Linkin Park has always had a place in my heart. There are no frills in their music, no pretense, no trying to be clever, no trying to keep up some fake aura of mystery, and no beating around the bush. It’s just pure energy with a clear message, unapologetic and to the point. Love it.
Great to see someone with similar complex musical taste to mine who appreciates this song for what it is, not for what it's not or all the nonsense fuzz around.
Chester nous manque tellement il ne faut surtout pas l'oublier Émilie a une belle voix mais Chester restera à jamais dans le cœur de ses fans c'est lui le vrai chanteur de linkin Park Chester ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm 53. I have been a Linkin Park fan for quite a long time. I am grateful that the band is moving forward and trying to live on and I love the sound y'all are doing now as much if not more because, you didn't give up when you could have.
I seriously feel like I've been reunited with an old friend. We've both grown, but will always have traces of who we were. Life has led us here, and I'm happy to have this again.
From Zero ... really felt that. They lost him, honored him, made sure he's remembered forever and finally began anew. Favorite band for 23 years, will be till the day i'm gone. LINKIN PARK
@@WalterWhiteJP "Several years ago, I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance, and went to one early hearing as an observer. Soon after, I realized I shouldn’t have. I always try to see the good in people, and I misjudged him. I have never spoken with him since. Unimaginable details emerged and he was later found guilty. To say it as clearly as possible: I do not condone abuse or violence against women, and I empathize with the victims of these crimes."
@@WalterWhiteJP Brother I understand. But think about it they've been gone for 7 years. Had they been money and fame hungry i'd give it 6 month a year tops for them to bring someone in. But instead they 've dedicating all the concerts, covers, album re-releases, and any event of the band, to him. I've been a fan of LP since "in the end" came out so i know exactly how you feel cause i used to believe the band was dead too. But this is a new beginning, nobody is trying to be like chester, it's just a new voice, a new style. This is how they honor him, making awesome music. That's why we loved them to begin with isn't it? I hope you understand, just give it a chance, see what they got, I know you wont get disppointed.
noones replacing chester , this is the best thing they could do .. not find someone who mimics chester but someone who can help the band start a new chapter. I love that my favorite band is back , RIP chester
But she kinda sucks. She not really that good of a singer, screamer. She needs a coach. Live, she cuts off notes early cuz she not breathing right. Etc .. she can get better.
Close your eyes and just listen to the sound especially at 0:58 . It's that iconic LP sound. So glad to be able to listen to new LP music after so long. Those naysayers disputing Chester's voice replacement can stay in the past, I will just enjoy both the past and the future of the band I grew up with during my childhood.
0:58 brought tears. Undeniably LP - the energy of this track brought me back to Hybrid Theory. This whole track gets me so amped yet emotional - we all miss Chester but Emily’s voice is incredible. Shinoda was right to pick her.
I recognize a true fan of LP when i see it. Real ones are witchu fam, LP till end. Cheers to Emily, there's a giant shoe to fill in front of her, but real ones are here for her and the band
I'm 42, grew up with Linkin Park, and was super skeptical... The Emptiness Machine... Chester's gone and he'll always be a huge loss, but damn, Linkin Park is back in such an awesome way... this sounds so legit Linkin Park without any copycat vibes... Perfect vocalist choice, perfect comeback title...
oh man, it's bitter sweet but we're moving on. this hit me right in the feels so hard and finally made me accept things. Emily is no replacement, just an addition; and one we're happy about. I love her vocals. This sounds like a new Linkin Park and I'll keep on supporting as I have since I was 13.
It's a new era of Linkin Park with Emily and Colin on board, but it's still definitely Linkin Park (one of my top 5 all time favorite bands) and the first 2 new songs are amazing. I can't wait for the new album!
Nobody will replace Chester, Nobody can. It takes so much courage to step up and honor him from the position where he stood. Emily is a champ. Chester must be proud of her. Long live LP. Long live Chester
I hope you 2 are right. I mean, let’s face it. The “new” Alice In Chains are TERRIBLE (IMO)… The new singer that Jerry Cantrell chose is a terrible “replacement” for Layne Stayley! And I WAS a huge fan of AIC fan…
I love her energy, she is so aggressive and soft at the same time, just like Chester. Not the same tone but that's the point, a new start, a new voice, a new energy. She's so aggressive, i love that
@@Iknowbetterthanyou Don't be such a drama queen. They're in the same role in the band. Even if they don't mean to use her as a replacement for Chester (which they don't, she's her own thing) people are gonna make comparisons.
And she definitely has huge balls... she walked out on that stage and help a ghost on that stage move on... and she also let a million memories move on in into memories and yet she let all of us relax some and move on too.
She has an INCREDIBLE voice! Chester is smiling from heaven. I miss him but I’m happy LP is together and making music again! Edit: To anyone for who this return brings up rough feelings: please take good care of yourself.
Mike, Brad, Joe, Dave. Thank you. You all kept the band from dismissing away for these many years. It must’ve been tough for you on what to do next. If you needed all this time, I understand. Always did. Rob, thank you. For being part of that amazing first era. Chester, rest in peace. Your legacy lives on.
But they didn't need all this time. The interview just came out. They met Emily in 2019 and started jam sessions. They just took this long for public appearances. I will always believe that Mike was low-key jealous of Chester. LP was Mike's baby, and when they grabbed Chester, the label wanted to drop Mike. Mike always wanted to be the center. Them taking this long was good optics, nothing more. That's why Rob left, IMO. He probably saw through it.
@@kialbonetti1997sure sure.. jealous that last more than 20 years is what you say? And.. sure sure... the jelaous Mike didnt said that "the role of chester is in each one of you".. he just said it because is really really jealous. 😊 ignorance sometimes is a blessing.
a friend made me listen to this with no context, and i immediately was like ''this kinda sounds like linkin park'' and she was like ''it IS linkin park'' i was very positively surprised, im looking forward to this new era of the band!
I just realized that Linkin Park has the best fanbase in the world. I was afraid to enter the comments section because I didn't know what I might read. Now I'm here and I see only beautiful words for Emily, Colin and the entire LP. To any Linkin Park fan reading this who understands that Emily isn't here to step into Chester's shoes, you're awesome and I hope we run into each other somewhere at their show. I'm 39 years old, I grew up with LP and now I just can't watch it without crying uncontrollably...crying because I'm both happy that this isn't the end of LP and sad that I'll never get to see Chester live. However, life goes on, there is no point in being sad that something has ended. We should be happy that it happened... and I am. I am happy for you and with all of you. You are great! Much love ❤
You were there in my teen years, one of the hardest periods in my life. Now that i've lost my father to cancer, you pop up again with new energy and a brutally good new singer. You helped me then and you are helping me now. Long live to Linkin Park.
I don't know what happenend, but I literally cried because of this. Yes, she is not Chester and no one can replace the legacy he left behind. But this song brought up so many good, distant memories and nostalgia. It has the same vibe and energy as the old songs and it just makes me so, so happy to have LP back. Nothing but love for Emily and Colin. Let's start a new era.
Mike's vocals in the beginning with the piano that is so reminiscent is FLAWLESS and amazing. This is LINKIN PARK. A New era arises, I love it, I want it, I NEED it. Chester would be so proud.
Emily is no doubt a powerhouse but Mike's vocals are my favorite part. The layering and smooth transition when sings "I let you cut me open" is perfection. Dude really found his voice over the years.
It took me 3 weeks to feel "ready" to listen to this song, and man, am I SO VERY GLAD I finally have. She'll carry on Chester's legacy with such amazing, earth-shattering vocals. ❤ I've been a huge fan of the band since Hybrid Theory, their music took me out of the worst depression not once but twice (I do owe their music my life), I still get teary-eyed when I think of Chester's death and how he meant so much for so many of us. Now, Linkin Park can start a whole new chapter and continue making the music we love and need. ❤
Soy habla hispano entonces pues mas o menos entiendo ingles y pues Linkin park la escucho desde el 2006 y sin duda algunas pues muchas obras maestras. Me sumo a lo suyo es una nueva ERA. LinkPark
Linkin inspires me.. My parents said if i get 1K likes on my vid They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging..
Same grudge, same rock but a different dimension! So glad they didn't try to find a 'Chester' but found this new awesome voice.!!!Oh my goodness. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is what Chester was waiting for, a new era to move on, the band and us. I'm sure he's smilin somewhere else now, Emily has to be appreciated just for the hard road she has chosen, proud of her, she sounds great, LP are back with their sound and it's mesmerising right now...music world stopped for 3:20 minutes after this came out. Peace to you all, peace Chester.
Is it just me or does anyone feel goosebumps every time you hear it? This is incredible... Emily has her own personality that shines through the song. She's not replacing Chester. Chester can't be replaced and is in our hearts forever. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive. Thank you for keeping LP alive. And not kidding about the goosebumps though.
Yes! And people don't realize that staying in the past is burying the band. Even Chester wasn't holding his own voice. Emily in addition to sustaining her voice for an entire show, gives a new life to the band and proves the courage of women. Amazing! ❤️🔥
I also get goosebumps every time she sings the chorus, something similar to the first times I heard numb or In the End. It's like you said, Chester is irreplaceable, but she didn't come to replace, but rather to write a new chapter in linkin park story! ❤️🔥
Im gonna be honest guys, im going through hard times. I know this is only a song but, it´s the first time in a few days that i feel happiness and joy. Thank you Linkin Park, and let me tell you guys are not alone.
One of the many reasons this works is because I could totally picture Chester singing Emily's part. This just feels like Linkin Park and I love it. The future looks bright.
This isn't a replacement for Chester Bennington, this is the start of a new Linkin Park, and I'm all for it.
exactly! its honoring his memory
Periodddddddttttt
From Zero, literally
Yes, they are coming back From Zero ❤️
All in, no doubt
The new era of linkin park is upon us
The beginning of a new beginning

shes not replacing chester its just a phase of the band
I couldn't stop crying after that.
I cried immediately while I heard Mike said that...
Thank you Emily!
I can't imagine the pressure she was under.
She accepted it, and that's all that matters.
I admire and support her.
I just want to say this. Thank you, Rob Bourdon, for all of the years of being the drummer for LP. We will miss you very much.
Exactly! Well said! I feel like he should've been mentioned at least in the live show at least
yes
What happened to him?
Any whispers on why he's decided not to continue with the band?
It was his choice. He's distanced himself from the band for years. He wasn't around by his own choice for the papercuts release or hybrid theory rerelease
7 years later, and the energy of Linkin Park is still unmatched. Chester’s spirit lives on in every note.
Sure does. We will let her rock. She is fabulous.
Sure does
Sure nah bro, it's gone but the band not turning bad
exactly! right?
that first pre-chorus on 0:35 , I swear I can almost hear Chester gently harmonizing with Mike for that part
"In the role of Chester Bennington is each of you" - Mike

This is one of the greatest linkin park songs I have ever heard, thanks Emily!

It’s got me feeling some kind of way. I came into this so ready to dismiss her and the band. I’m not fond of female singers in general and anyone trying to fill Chester’s place has a lot stacked against them.
But Gods be damned if she doesn’t nail it. I truly love this song and the other released and she is perfect.
My favourite part to when Emily hits the chorus I haven’t herd a girl do that except at not fest
I can’t listen to this song without starting to tear up. It’s just a beautiful bridge across the history of Linkin Park.
Bro i feel the same. Her sound always reminds me of chester but still authentic
I love how this song starts with Mike Shinoda and gives us a minute for us to get adjusted to the new song before introducing us to the new vocalist Emily Armstrong. It's the perfect first single for the rebirth of Linkin Park.
Have you heard any of her old band’s (Dead Sara) stuff? All of that is super good too. She also sounds incredible live. I went to a slash and Myles Kennedy concert and dead Sara opened. She’s kick ass
I agree, they timed everything perfectly for that show.
Castle of Glass as an intro with Chester's voice modified, the new single as the opening song, Numb in the middle which matches the context of Emily trying to exist in LP now, and her duo with Mike at the end. I also loved to see the others members of LP smilling at Emily to show their support and their joy to be back!
Wow. Actually didn’t think about that. But this nails it
Shes way to good for this mediocre band
@@bowser2onrsdude go away
I seriously feel like I'm 14 years old again.
Here's to a new beginning, LP. May it be glorious.
Calm down it's okay
I had the same feeling and felt the same energy of old LP songs!
So fking true
Still remember elementary school and listening LP for first time
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🤘🐺🌃
You found your voice, rip Chester. She is amazing with you. Thank you both, and may the gods and goddess bless you all.
*"We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities". - Chester Bennington*
why did this make me tear up 🥲
That's a fantastic quote
Im not crying, it's just i got something in my eye!
Yeah but not everyone agrees with that apparently. She sounds good but idk if they will reach the levels of Chester fronted LP. We'll see. I think I need to get used to it, I will be buying the album for sure, been a fan for over 20 years now.
I do agree with his sentiment though. Chester was a brilliant guy and one of the best singers.
Ive never heard of Emily but I got goosebumps when she started screaming. No one can ever replace Chester but she's paying tribute in such a beautiful and impressive way
Smartest decision they made. Trying to replace him with any guy would be career suicide because they will never live up to expectations. Going a completely different route allows a new chapter to start.
They need to do less screams with her, she couldn't hit them in most songs. Her cleans were great
She can't hold a note
She never once screamed lol
@@vict1435Exactly. A guy would always be in Chester’s shadow. A girl is a new and unpaved path and cannot be compared in the same way. Emily has a clean slate. And she looks like a great choice 🔥
as a die-hard Chester fan, I don't think this is an attempt to replace Chester I think it's an attempt to move on and keep moving forward and I absolutely love this song. It definitely embodies the spirit of the band and nobody is ever going to replace chester. I'm super excited to have her as the singer for Linkin park. Keep up the Great work.
We mean "Linkin Park 2", because the original is inerently tied to Chester
Well said👌🏻
Absolutely agree!
I 💯 agree
Oh stop lol 😂
I didn’t know how I feel about not hearing Chester but she gave me chills, perfect fit for my favorite group RIH CHESTER FOREVER MISSED
On Rob's departure from the band:
Shinoda: Rob had said to us at a point, I guess it was a few years ago now, that he wanted to put some distance between himself and the band. And we understood that - it was already apparent. He was starting to just show up less, be in less contact, and I know the fans noticed it too. The Hybrid Theory rerelease and Papercuts release, he didn't show up for anything. So for me, as a friend, that was sad, but at the same time, I want him to do whatever makes him happy, and obviously everybody wishes him the best.
😢😢😢😢
Sad to see him go, but it's what he wanted. You can't force someone to stick around. Hoping all the best for Rob.
I'm kinda sad that Rob isn't back but I hope he's doing fine and I'm glad he was a part of the band like Chester
That's sad!
Where was this statement from Mike taken from? Just curious!
My biggest regret is never attending a live concert while Chester was alive. I will not miss the opportunity this time. Count me in for this new era. The band is sounding AMAZING. Welcome, Emily!
That's exactly what I thought, when first listening to this masterpiece. Emily is fantastic with these guys. I'm all in for this.
@@frutosergio i was there many times and I would tell you unforgettable moments I still have the ticket when they come switzerland for the first time. Hallenstadion was earthquacking. I remember we did a flag with our messages for them and they put it on the piano, we cried from happiness, i have a drum stick from rob bourdon and guitar plettros with the logo LP, I remember When chester and Mike came to us while playing in the end, we have great pics with them we gave the hand to chester and mike 🥲🥹🥹🥹 I would never forget how cool that band was and never forget what they created with underground pass! I still have friends from all over the world cuz of them..
I remember it was always a fear with chester he always had up and downs and I still remember reading about HIS depresión. But I will never know the truth. He left a big big family.
Same here❤
I also have that regret! I never got to see them live with Chester, but I will not let a chance slide to see them live now! This is sooo good!
Описали мои мысли.
Mike. You bastard. You made a 46 year old man cry. Great song, Emily roars like a lion and it's amazing that I feel like I can feel Chester roaring in the background. Thank you for coming back.
I can hear him sing this it hurts so much but it felt so good
Mike could have done too many things, but he did the right one.
💯❤🔥
Imao😂
I think Mike is also 46 years old. 😝
It's been a month since this song has come out and honestly, it's up there for me in my top 5 favorite Linkin Park songs and I've been a fan for the past 20 years now. Thank you for bringing back LP and welcome to the LP family Emily!

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🌆🤘🐺🤘🌆
I feel like we’re definitely on Linkin park 4.0 or 5.0 at this point especially if you consider that they were called Xero, and Hybrid Theory before Chester came on board, and they had to change their name to Linkin Park.
The starting with Emily first verses gives me the chills and goosebumps with every listen. just so freaking amazing. i like how she can interchange between singing lines cleanly and switchup to the raspy and heavier screams. Just incredible talent
I absolutely love Emily's energy as a new member of LP
This is phenomenal. It's still the Linkin Park sound, writing, feeling, everything. You're doing great guys, it's gonna be a new era.
As long as Mike is still there, it will always sound like Linkin Park. Because he writes and produces most of their songs. In The End, Breaking the Habit, Burn it Down, One More Light, One Step Closer, Castle of Glass and way more. Even this song, he wrote it and sang the whole song himself until he changed it for Emily.
Are you deaf?
That was my thought exactly. Sorry, but this fkn sucks. I heard mike quit too. @davebright8421
La verdad que sí, por alguna razón está canción trae mucha nostalgia 😊
For real this track reminds me of the old days. Don't get me wrong I'll always miss Chester but this rocks
Final stage of grief: Acceptance. This is the new Linkin Park. And it sounds AMAZING. We, the fans will take it from here for Chester.
Well said. 👏
No we dont
@@foopa777 Mike Shinoda says otherwise.
@RagingKabuto i mean not even about real or fake fans, it's just fans who cannot move on. They still have their pain held on for so long, that can't be healthy. Prodigy also had a few concerts recently after having lost one of their main frontmen, even though they always leave room in their concert for the ghost of Keith, they will also have to move on and find what could be eventually their successor. It's something that Corey from Slipknot spoke a lot about, having Slipknot being this group that represents something, regardless of its members, which is important to its continuation. People always spoke about "x member era of y band", why is it unacceptable now? It's irrational pain fans have that need processing. Don't forget Chester, but also move on. The message is still there!!
This project needs another name... Not LP
1:45 - Yep, that’s Linkin Park. 🙌🏻🔥
That’s what I thought
I was lukewarm until then and then that moment hits and I was like “I need to mention this moment” and then saw you already did!
Her voice is as unique as Chesters was. I felt like i was 12 again when she ripped that chorus.
Hell yeahh❤
For sure
I'm 46 and this is one of the best song I've ever heard. So emotional.
She is not Chester, but this song is 100% Linkin Park
Well that is obvious.
So true😊
but not because of her 😉
Her add in ruined the face of Linkin Park it's disrespectful to Chester Bennington memory and feelings behind his music
Ive been a fan of Linkin Park from the get go but this just has no feeling in it and it doesn't belong good vocals don't get me wrong but no woman should be a vocal on Linkin Park if they cannot match the emotion and feelings poured into the music
This song just spoke to at least 3 generations.
Linkin inspires me.. My parents said if i get 1K likes on my vid They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging..
I'm 24 and linkin park was my childhood, i remember listening to his songs since 2006 at least and by 2008 I had listened to most of his old tracks, had them on my portable music player and PC.
It spoke to no one lol what an insult to Chester!!

Does my music have potential?
According to Chester’s son they started making music back in 2019 and just waited to release it now. Likely why Rob isn’t interested in the band
Chester will always amaze me with his vocal talent. Rest in peace to an absolute legend❤

True!
This is so good but you must hear “City” by SLT 🤘 and wait until the drums kick in 🤘🏙️🎸
They're not back, so you're right not to believe. This is not LP. It's a desperate attempt to keep a dead band going. Not because the other band members were useless but it's not the band without Chester.
@@ZonZorZerxgeez you’re insufferable
I am in tears. Linkin Park was the first CD I ever bought, I'm a lifelong fan and have an emotional connection to the band. Very well put everyone, Emily is not a replacement, but a new beginning all while honoring Chester. LINKIN PARK IS BAAAAACK!!!!!
I could have write your message, linkin park was the first cd I got in my life, my (now) 13 years old daughter loves them too, wears their stuff, she had the chance to attend mike’s concert and met jim after the show, they are a big part of our life every day, and this ! What’s happening now is just kind of magic ! What a new beginning ! ❤
First álbum too
It hits me emotionnal harder then i thought. This was and is my band since i my youth.
Hear hear! ❤❤❤❤
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🤘🐺🎧🐺🤘
Gracias Emily por salvar esta hermosa banda al olvido! Tu voz es increible
The hardest part of ending is starting again, welcome back Linkin Park and always, RIP Chester.
Every new beginning comes from another beginning's end
I'm 36. Sitting right now listening to this song with tears in my eyes and remembering myself listening to Meteora 20 years ago. Thanks for the spark and goosebumps I've been waiting for so long! LP
same dude!
Ditto......Nailed it !
Same here ❤
Same feeling!
Haha same for me. I just remember listening to Crawling over and over again, while sitting in a bus with the first broken heart 😅
I miss Chester but this is amazing. And seeing Mike Shinoda smile during the live stream brought me to tears
They were smiling and it was awesome. They deserve to continue. Good for them finding a path forward. I wish them the best.
Yeah me too, you could just sense their joy and happiness
Yeah. I cried and smiled too. For happiness. It’s a new era for them now but at the same time it’s a celebration of their history. In a memory of Chester. I’m so happy they continue and make new music. I’m excited to see what the future brings. I’m so happy that they are happy. Good to see Mike being healed and him smiling. ❤️
@5tat a fellow LP fan lets goooo!
Yup. If Mike is happy Im happy
With everything going on in the world right now? I think there are 3 generations of people that really need this. The audiences at the new concerts speak for themselves. People need just one thing to look forward to and find some semblance of comfort or joy in. Something people can relate to. Two new songs and both of them are already beautiful. Thank you guys for coming back. Don't listen to the hate. Because some people out there really want or need to hear you again. Welcome to the band, Emily.
They waited long enough, they showed enough respect to Chester's memory, and they honored Chester by not having anyone replace him even in the first part in this song. It’s not a replacement, it’s a new member and I’m ok with that. Her performence is amazing by the way, she fits there.
It's kind of like she's always been there, it's weird but she fits ❤️
Amen
Wait, what am I missing? How is Chester involved in this particular song?
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🌆🤘🐺🤘🌆
Well said!!!!❤
This is honestly as good as it gets for me. She absolutely nailed it in this song. They all did an incredible job. I'm a old fan here and I completely approve of her as the lead singer. I know there has been some hate and I just don't get it. Can't wait for more of her and Linkin Park.
I watched the live, honestly I love how she sings. But she needs to be more confident about her own skills. When she was singing their old songs, I found that she was trying to imitate previous way of singing a bit too much, which didn't worked that well, but she had flashes when she was just singing with her own voice and it was BEAUTIFUL! She's not a replacement for Chester, she has her own insane talent, and she should use that. She has skills to be side by side with Chester, not a replacement.
I'm all in for future of Linkin Park overall. I gave up on them few years ago when they leaned more into pop instead of metal, but this piece here proves they still have it in them. And that girl has the potential to breathe a brand new life into the band I fell in love in since I was 12.
Ps.: people really don't appreciate how insanely difficult it is to growl properly. My friend, who is death metal musician, tried to teach me, and I hurt my throat for few months. The way she does it is absolute bliss!
me also approved her.
This is the NEW LINKIN PARK🔥🔥
Could not have said it better 🙌🏼
100% man. She killed on this song man. Her screaming reminds in a way of Chester’s
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🐺🌆🤘🌆🐺
they took 7 years.. Meteora 20th Anniversary, HB 20th Anniversary.. Mike with his solo stuff. they didnt forget.. SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM BACK.
just like we don't forget them mate :)
That's the most important thing, and good it is still awesome!
Nice to see Han back in the group
They've been through alot. I believe she's gonna do absolutely amazing. And the show they did I know Chester was smiling down on all of them ❤️❤️
My brother I had the same thoughts
This is another side of Linkin Park.
So beautiful.
I'm 40yo
Im in tears,i miss chester,but she make me remember him...
The energy,the power,the hype...
Love u always LP no matter what
I'm understand your felling, I'm feel the same.
Agreed. Her energy is great. So happy with their sound with her and Mike singing.
Ok old
Tears are coming out and I'm smiling... Fuckin best era
I'm the same
“I only wanted to be part of something” this is the essence right there. New Era. Can’t wait to hear what’s coming now.
Emily Armstrong and Mike Shinoda's vocal chemistry in ‘The Emptiness Machine’ is incredible. This song feels like the start of a new chapter for the band.❤❤
*Don't read my name…….💀*
@@DontReadMyPicture-c2p Don't worry... We won't
My thoughts too
She can sing. But most importantly, like Chester, she can FUCKIN SCREAM!!!!! 😈 👿 🤘
Welcome Emily ❤ "New" Linkin park is as great as "old" Linkin park. Love you all ❤❤❤
The first time I listened to this song I didn't pay too much attention to the lyrics
But the second time... it just hit the spot too well... I'm fuckin crying...
Did anyone notice the subtle callbacks to Numb, Crawling and Somewhere I belong?
Numb : "I'm tired of being what you want me to be"
Emptiness Machine : "Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be"
Crawling : "Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal"
Emptiness Machine : "Already pulling me in, Already under my skin"
Somewhere I belong : "Somehwere I belong"
Emptiness Machine : "I only wanted to be part of something“
And if the lyrics weren't enough, the story in the video at 00:45 and 1:41 are callbacks to Numb and Crawling!
Finally, the generation that listened to LP was fighting expectations from parents. The same generation is now fighting expectations from society as adults. The video makes so much sense! Goosebumps! What a masterpiece! If you know, you know!
well said !
Chester Forever ❤
She is highly set in Scientology church... like she is responsible even for hurting peoples. WHAT ABOUT THIS :?
Yea yea I had same observations while listening. Its so Linkin Park sound
Stop it
I still hear Chester's voice in this song, I hear Chester's passion in Emily's voice. Respect to Emily. Linkin Park, the best.
Where? I don't hear it at all. I just here the same generic singing of every female alt rock singer. It's bland, and honestly that's putting it nicely.
@@MrRoneoRegondola Listen again, the passion isn't there. She screams as rehearsed, Chester screamed from a guttural desperation and pain. Her cult, Scientology, doesn't believe in professional health care of any kind, nor do they believe in mental illness. Sxly abused children are told it's their fault, as they "brought it in" on themselves. They can't even bring the crimes to the attention to the authorities. These children must discover their past crimes in a past lifetime. Not just on earth, but any planet in the galactic federation. If this sounds unreal, like Science Fiction, it's because Scientology was started by a science fiction writer! Penny, a page Sci-fi author L. Ron Hubbard.
Chester deserves more from his former band mates. I will continue to educate fans!
Not even close. If this is who they are going with then change the band name.
@@balamtheknowledge9578get a helmet, life is tough
@@flyingfreak90 oh I'm sorry for sharing my opinion, I forgot your; if I dont agree im retarded and deserve the ax. Life IS tough, especially when your taste in music is garbage.
The simplicity of this track is why it’s so great. I am mostly a prog rock guy who listens to a lot of Tool, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, etc., but Linkin Park has always had a place in my heart. There are no frills in their music, no pretense, no trying to be clever, no trying to keep up some fake aura of mystery, and no beating around the bush. It’s just pure energy with a clear message, unapologetic and to the point. Love it.

Great to see someone with similar complex musical taste to mine who appreciates this song for what it is, not for what it's not or all the nonsense fuzz around.

It must’ve been tough for you on what to do next. If you needed all this time, I understand. Always did.
Rob, thank you. For being part of that amazing first era.
Chester, rest in peace. Your legacy lives on.
Why Rob 😭?
But they didn't need all this time. The interview just came out. They met Emily in 2019 and started jam sessions. They just took this long for public appearances. I will always believe that Mike was low-key jealous of Chester. LP was Mike's baby, and when they grabbed Chester, the label wanted to drop Mike. Mike always wanted to be the center. Them taking this long was good optics, nothing more. That's why Rob left, IMO. He probably saw through it.
@@kialbonetti1997lay off the tinfoil
@@kialbonetti1997 ???? this take is insane, lowkey. Touch some grass, aint nobody know more about the band than they themselves.
@@kialbonetti1997sure sure.. jealous that last more than 20 years is what you say?
And.. sure sure... the jelaous Mike didnt said that "the role of chester is in each one of you".. he just said it because is really really jealous. 😊 ignorance sometimes is a blessing.
a friend made me listen to this with no context, and i immediately was like ''this kinda sounds like linkin park'' and she was like ''it IS linkin park'' i was very positively surprised, im looking forward to this new era of the band!
The BEST way to go into something new FR. Did that with Doctor Who for my friend and he was HOOKED.
@@gabe5918 hell yeah.
So Mikes vocals at the start didn’t give it away immediately? Lol
@@Alex-tu4ej not that kinda “blind”. Obviously you’ll know who it is but not expecting the new singer is a surprising treat.
@@Alex-tu4ej nope! For some reason I've never been able to recognize his voice, I always think it's someone else :p
I can almost hear Chester sing this. My tears won't stop falling, I am at my final stage of grief. Acceptance.
Está bueno ❤❤❤ me gustó y quiero escuchar mas
After hearing the Chester AI cover of this, I'm back to the bargaining stage lol
I agree. During the chorus I can almost hear Chester when I close my eyes. Emily is doing his memory honor.
Idk how everyone isnt feeling what we’re feeling rn.
@@davidmojica9671they are prolly the same ppl who shitted on their last album
RIP Chester Bennington❤
She is good, but noone will ever be able to replace such a unique voice!
I just realized that Linkin Park has the best fanbase in the world. I was afraid to enter the comments section because I didn't know what I might read. Now I'm here and I see only beautiful words for Emily, Colin and the entire LP. To any Linkin Park fan reading this who understands that Emily isn't here to step into Chester's shoes, you're awesome and I hope we run into each other somewhere at their show. I'm 39 years old, I grew up with LP and now I just can't watch it without crying uncontrollably...crying because I'm both happy that this isn't the end of LP and sad that I'll never get to see Chester live. However, life goes on, there is no point in being sad that something has ended. We should be happy that it happened... and I am. I am happy for you and with all of you. You are great! Much love ❤
Imagine being afraid of words
Real fans are here to support the band grow no matter what! Beautiful words! ❤
@@mattb6646 Imagine calling yourself a fan of Linkin Park - and yet dismissing the life-altering effect and power, of words....
@@lewis7515 EXACTLY, like bruh ....
🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Linkin Park was a part of my childhood. Im 32 now, and I never thought I'd get more LP. Now many more can enjoy the new and old. Welcome back, guys.
And gal!🎉
Same here, pal! 32 and never thought I’d hear such an authentic LP after all these years. So happy!
See you soon pal !!!!! 32 as well!
I’m 36, and I feel ~exactly~ the same. LP was a formative part of growing up; will always be down for more!
32 here also 😅 1991
I had tears in my eyes at 1:38. I felt the Meteora vibe. Of course Chester can't be replaced, but Emily fits in here 100%.
True. That scream reminds me of Chester's scream. Of course not the same, but it has his vibes.
Нет она не в тему
Very true, I love how LP finally embrace their roots after all these years with new twist of energy!!!
Same here 😭😭😭😭
I was not really listening until 1:38 that voice gave me the chills :>
Am from the future and this song is still a hit. Thanks Linkin Park
You were there in my teen years, one of the hardest periods in my life. Now that i've lost my father to cancer, you pop up again with new energy and a brutally good new singer. You helped me then and you are helping me now. Long live to Linkin Park.
lost my father in november '23. Stay strong my brother
Yeah man ❤
I am really sorry for you. Stay strong 🍀
Muchísima fuerza hermano.
This is so good but you must hear “City” by SLT 🤘 and wait until the drums kick in 🤘🌇🥁🌇🤘
I don't know what happenend, but I literally cried because of this. Yes, she is not Chester and no one can replace the legacy he left behind. But this song brought up so many good, distant memories and nostalgia. It has the same vibe and energy as the old songs and it just makes me so, so happy to have LP back. Nothing but love for Emily and Colin. Let's start a new era.
I can't agree with you more. Their songs touched my heart.
@@3iphone14 i agree too
This song brought good energy and memories of the old days of Linkin Park, I only have compliments to give
I'm feeling and thinking the exact same things, I'm so excited!! Let's rise again 🐦🔥💜
Gotta love supporting someone who supported a rapist and tried intimidating the victim in the courthouse.
You said it all, felt exactly like this
Mike's vocals in the beginning with the piano that is so reminiscent is FLAWLESS and amazing. This is LINKIN PARK. A New era arises, I love it, I want it, I NEED it. Chester would be so proud.
Completely agreed he would be happy for his bandmates.
Not
Had the same thought after the 1st listen
Emily is no doubt a powerhouse but Mike's vocals are my favorite part. The layering and smooth transition when sings "I let you cut me open" is perfection. Dude really found his voice over the years.
@@CJWII I agree about Mike Shinoda's vocals. I'm hoping he takes a big part of the vocals going forward.
史上最高の女性ボーカリストだ。とても綺麗な純真な心を感じさせる聖なる声ながら、力強く、また傷ついてきた過去の少なからずの怒りや穢れも感じさせるところが、最高のロックボーカリストだ！
^^^^^GLAZING^^^^^^
It took me 3 weeks to feel "ready" to listen to this song, and man, am I SO VERY GLAD I finally have. She'll carry on Chester's legacy with such amazing, earth-shattering vocals. ❤ I've been a huge fan of the band since Hybrid Theory, their music took me out of the worst depression not once but twice (I do owe their music my life), I still get teary-eyed when I think of Chester's death and how he meant so much for so many of us. Now, Linkin Park can start a whole new chapter and continue making the music we love and need. ❤
I'm right there with you. I'm so old I started with crawling on MTV way before in the end or any other. Greatest band ever in my opinion
Im a fan too since since day one this woman is a linkin park salute ❤@@joshmaltese2952
Soy habla hispano entonces pues mas o menos entiendo ingles y pues Linkin park la escucho desde el 2006 y sin duda algunas pues muchas obras maestras. Me sumo a lo suyo es una nueva ERA. LinkPark
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🐺🌆🤘🌆🐺
Linkin inspires me.. My parents said if i get 1K likes on my vid They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging..
Same grudge, same rock but a different dimension! So glad they didn't try to find a 'Chester' but found this new awesome voice.!!!Oh my goodness. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am happy but for some reason I sense Chester in her voice, I like it alot!
not AT ALL
@@yyxx4174 the screams have the same rawness.
Damn
@@brammieboy9667I would agree.
Wow she is so good at capturing their style!
This is what Chester was waiting for, a new era to move on, the band and us.
I'm sure he's smilin somewhere else now, Emily has to be appreciated just for the hard road she has chosen, proud of her, she sounds great, LP are back with their sound and it's mesmerising right now...music world stopped for 3:20 minutes after this came out.
Peace to you all, peace Chester.
Is it just me or does anyone feel goosebumps every time you hear it? This is incredible... Emily has her own personality that shines through the song. She's not replacing Chester. Chester can't be replaced and is in our hearts forever. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive. Thank you for keeping LP alive. And not kidding about the goosebumps though.
Yes! And people don't realize that staying in the past is burying the band. Even Chester wasn't holding his own voice. Emily in addition to sustaining her voice for an entire show, gives a new life to the band and proves the courage of women. Amazing! ❤️🔥
I also get goosebumps every time she sings the chorus, something similar to the first times I heard numb or In the End. It's like you said, Chester is irreplaceable, but she didn't come to replace, but rather to write a new chapter in linkin park story! ❤️🔥
Exactly!!!!!
Absolutely had goosebumps, she was made for the band, great stuff 🤘
Yes every single time!
Im gonna be honest guys, im going through hard times. I know this is only a song but, it´s the first time in a few days that i feel happiness and joy. Thank you Linkin Park, and let me tell you guys are not alone.
Hope you feel better soon, you got this
wish you the best , you are strong
LP is and always will be my go to in hard times
i feel you bro. that joy is hit me hard too
You have the LP army behind you. You are awesome!!
One of the many reasons this works is because I could totally picture Chester singing Emily's part. This just feels like Linkin Park and I love it. The future looks bright.
100%. It probably won't take long until someone does an AI version with Chester's voice
I hear it too man.
@@juangraciaofficial one could only hope! I would love it
Damn I think you hit that nail exactly on the head.
❤❤❤
Chester is up there happy with this 😊singing along
