As a drummer, rob bourdon is actually such a good drummer and inspiration. He’s so underrated .
I totally agree!!!!!💯🥁🙂
I have a drummer friend that didn’t really care for him. 🤷♂️ Also the friend is more of a metal guy, too.
@@kevinbernatek7875 there's a lot of talented drummers in metal, maybe one of them is his inspiration
@@nocturne.nocturnal I would say so. He’s a great drummer, himself, too. I honestly just think for him, as a musician…maybe LP stuff wasn’t fast or creative enough for him.
Miss Rob, though. He was one of the guys in the band that always brought a solace to the group…soft spoken guy. But when he gets in the studio…he’s all business. Hope he’s doing well.
Rob bourdon vs Shanon Leto. Who's better ?
Rob deserves more appreciation as a founding member
They already said Rob has been distancing himself for years. He's probably still torn up about Chester. That's his battle and his choice. Just hope he gets help if he needs it.
u sure it;s the truth? I don't believe a think Mike says. huy is full of it
This is Rob's way of showing respect to Chester. Lets respect his decision
and this is the way Mike's disrespects Chesters bringing a Scientologist Vocalist to a band where the former vocalist suffer from d3press1on
@@Flameblz you know that she's lesbian, right? if you know something about Scientology you have an idea of what it means.
@@FlameblzGet over it, she already clear things up
@@AetheR_ZeuX no she doesn’t she only explains about defending a r4pist but nothing about still being a Scientologist
Rob kept his dignity
I kinda get why Rob started to distance himself. And I respect that. It's none of our business why.
I don't understand why some people consider it disrespectful that not much is said about Rob. The way it was handled, it was respectful enough to just briefly state the fact and say 1-2 sentences about it.
I think the only thing that bothers some critics is the fact that their curiosity is not sufficiently satisfied. It's not enough for you to be told that Rob has simply distanced himself from the band over the years and no longer wants to. NO!!! A scandal, an argument would be much more entertaining. You could work through it much better.
To such sensationalist people.... Some things are simply none of our business, not even as fans. Some things are private. And sometimes there is simply nothing more than what is said.
Perfectly said.
@stevgo6213 its disrespectful since this new vocalist its a Scientologist that dont beliefs in any of Chesters songs or mental illness such as depression, thats why its disrespectful. Why would u bring someone that dont believes in what chester fought his whole life to sings songs that he made from what he battle and suffer inside his head, Rob's made the right decision this is not Linking park and should respect the name and since the proposal its "FROM ZERO" mike should bring another name or use his for minor project
Thats so disrespect that no one is talking about Rob.
lots of people are talking about him
Is because Rob is not important...
@@user-lp4ik2bg1d Delete this comment
Rob is the one who left
Why
Considering the current controversy happening with the band
Rob made the right choice.
The Scientology stuff?
Yeah, he is clever, and have morals to respect his friend legacy.
Thank god. Someone mentioned it for what it is. I’m an old school LP fan as well. And I already know deep that that Rob feels LP died with Chester. And he’s one of the original 3 founding members. He absolutely knows what he’s doing. And he probably doesn’t approve this move by the band. And as much as I love Mike, the way he brushed off Rob’s departure by saying “He distanced himself from the band” is a clear sign that it wasn’t on the best of terms..If it was my band mate of 20 years for arguably one of the biggest names in music, I would give him more respect than that.
lol
Rob is just busy with something else. This is the best answer.
You're just making shit up 😂 mike said rob started distancing himself during the hybrid theory re-release, which is obviously before the From Zero stuff started.
I agree with all you said here. I feel this is a wrong approach with everything Linkin Park concerning respect. #truthforcetimelessgoodtogoJesusChristisbackandisn’tLinkinParkEmilydrummersnorMikeShinoda #in Jesus ChristsNameWePrayAmen
If I was rob I would distance myself from this version of Linkin Park too. soo disappointed i couldn't get through 20 seconds of hearing the live show. RIP Linkin Park
Rob knows whats best he knows chester originality cant be replaced
He posted online "no chester no linkin park" but Mike's playing it off as if that's not the case clearly caused a split it's sad one of my fave bands of all time has come to this it's genuinely heartbreaking 💔
I'm really gonna miss him. He was my favorite. Not just as a musician, he had such a cool, chill vibe about him. I hope he gets to surf everyday and I wish him all the good things in life.
Chester is gone, Rob is gone, Brad isn't touring, so we've got Shinoda and Hahn, it's similar to how I feel about the Pantera reunion, call it something else, because it's not LP without Chester, let alone half of the rest of the band being gone.
Rob is gone from the group, not for good. He didn't pass away.
@@marsoff9898 That's semantics really, he's gone from the group, nobody is able to enjoy or appreciate what he brought to the camp.
Brad isn't touring?? Why??
@@Kkrzik I'm sorry I don't understand what that means. Touring but not playing on stage?
@@Kkrzik ah ok I see.. thanks. Hope he can get back to fill the role
I think Linkin Park should do, what the instrumentalists of Rage against the machine did, and present themselfes with a new band name. You know, make it a proper reset.
How about LINKIN PARK 2??
@@KrisTheBatSpider21 Ground Xero
Park Linkin?
They could call it Lincoln Parc.
How about Pinkin Lark?
I struggle with accepting new members to bands I've followed for years. I end up only listening to their old material and never transition to their new stuff. Happy for them to be back doing their things nonetheless.
I mean no disrespect but I dont wanna hear ANYONE sing Chesters songs but CHESTER. Now the Drummer Rob gone err..... I'll cop the new album but hold my LP back catalogue dear to my heart.
i feel its the same as with John Deacon of queen when freddie mercury died. he felt queen was done and dusted and no point to continue as freddie was the voice and soul of that band so he distanced himself. i could be wrong but i feel Rob probably feels the band died with chester and while its nice to try come back, lets be real. it doesnt feel the same anymore without chester. If they are going to come back they should work on new music and let it go because i also feel many of chesters songs she struggled with and tried way too hard to hit those notes and you could tell it doesnt fit her.
To be fair they've only released one song with her so far so that livestream would be kind of point less if it was just one song. So I cut her some slack for singing those other songs but once they start releasing more material with her then it's fair to judge her singing Chester's songs because she would have her own unique songs with the band later on. That's just my opinion though.
I didn't feel anything like that about her. I'll even go on with: her singing was better than late Chester's.
I noticed she struggled with some of the songs to, but thats understandable. Those songs weren't made with her range in mind. With time, she can give her own spin to them. I'm convinced she's the right pick for LP in this new era, the new song proves that.
Don't forget the MASSIVE UNRIVALED NERVES she felt Live
She is bad. Also, she is so old.
Until Rob makes his own statement even the band themselves shouldn't talk about why he left or tried to distance himself from them. Mike said he just distanced himself. Rob could day otherwise.
If Mike didn't say what he said, a bunch of people would be speculating that it was a messy break up and that they hate each other. Fans would be mad at one of them or both of them for them if nothing was said.
@@Nick-ok4eq and that's better than making an official statement about someone else before said person even breaks silence
@@Nick-ok4eq I prefer fans speculate be quiet I can guarantee most of them are wrong. Maybe a few right guesses. But Mike making an official statement now before Rob could be messy in the future if it were not true. Like when Joey quit slipknot according to slipknot. But Joey said he was fired.
Because*
@@JuanMorales-ju6je Linkin Park isn't Slipnot. Rob isn't Joey. Just because it happend with them, doesn't mean that this situation is the same. We can take things at face value at this moment in time, and still like and respect everyone involved. If things change later, then you cross that bridge when you get there.
Rob is my favourite drummer
@@goukhongsai3796 Seen Josh Freeze?
@@GEMSofGOD_com Seen Anthony Barone, Austin Archey, Evney Novikov? Fast play or techdrumming isn't the key. Rob is an emotion.
mike shinoda is the face of linkin park after chester
Who?
@@occiferfigpucker4840you can’t be serious..
After who?
He has always been the face of LP tbh
of what?
I miss you Chester Bennington and Rob bourdon 😢
R.I.P. Linkin Park
The band wasnt just two people no longer in it. The show must go on.
When Zack left RATM, Tom, Brad and Tim formed Audioslave with Chris. I think they know RATM will never work without Zack. And Audioslave became a great band. Linkin Park is Chester. Whether you agree or not. I think the best move was to create something new rather than staying behind Chester' shadow.
Like creed after fired Scott stapp,with myles Kennedy they create alter bridge
No. Linkin Park isn't Chester. Linkin Park is Mike Shinoda.
would be more respectful aswell
@@Milehighsnake98 no its not
Do you really need a reason? It is clear why he didn't want to be a part of this rebirht
Chester was a real one. He held LP together with #2 Shinoda. Everyone knew their place, and they all shined. I don't mind a woman replacing Chester for a second go. She's got good pipes, but is she a real one? Not lookin like with the controversy stuff happening. It's the small quiet things like respect that made people love LP, not the flashy laser shows. If #2 understood that LP could have gone a lot further.
Everyone who says Rob left because of her need to do some research he left ages ago and told them he wanted distant himself from the band, and started showing up less and and keeping contact Mike even mentions and respected him for it.
Mike Shinoda wants the money. Imagine Paul McCartney saying "John is gone, but The Beatles must continue. Oh, yeah, Ringo did not want to return, but my friend will take his place." FU, Shinoda.
Rob is a great drummer
Changing drummer's isn't as noticeable as a new singer. Singer changes will always divide fans. None of LP wanted this situation. They're just adapting to stay together . . .
I hope Rob comes back someday to Linkin Park but he has his reasons for not rejoining the guys people change and maybe he's still grieving over Chester's death but I hope he is happy with whatever he decides to do now
Mike thinks Rob is completely replaceable. He will be proven wrong.
Did Mike really say that?
@@AmatPadilNique No. Some people just enjoy talking out their asses lol
Rob knows that this new direction with a female singer is not the right choice, and I don't blame him
I kinda felt like it had something to do with this new singer too
call me strange but it kinda makes sense if he left cause he didn't like the direction this new band was going
Probably cuz of her support for a rapist and being in the church of Scientology. Goes against what Chester, a sexual abuse victim, would have wanted.
From one more light band was not old lp. Not. Minuets to midnight also. But oml was wors. Still we loved to hear Chester singing. Mike has mentioned that they want new fans. Im not blaming. But disappointed. My fav bane is gone with Chester for ever. Not just coz of a girl. New pos singing, my ears cannot take it. It screams are soo disturbing.
We need Rob ❤
I just "love" when bands are done and bad media outlets use words/phrases to justify their mistakes : "evolving" "excited to see where this journey takes them"
according to bio from wiki, Rob left LP at 2017.
Rob left LP at 2020
Honestly, they might as well call themselves something else, it's no longer Linkin Park. I know LP started without Chester, but nobody knew them without him. If you can pull off something like acdc and they sound the same, it can work. But once you change the sound mainly lead vocals, it's no longer the same band. I wish them the best of luck, but this isn't my LP.
Mike founded lp not chester
nah...still its not LP without Chester...
@@joeleviackerman4124 lol maybe reread my comment.
@@deanfournel7532 of course it's never gonna be the same LP it was something else with Mike and Chester. And it's gonna be different with Mike and Emily. Have faith in Mike as he knows the veins of this band.
I'm the type of person that will give everybody a chance I will give this new band a chance but Mike should change this band's name to Linkin Park 2 but yeah sorry I'm all over the place but it won't be as good as the original and Chester's voice will always haunt my head more compared to Emily
I like the rob way better
Something else they just glossed over but Brad is only going to be making the new music with LP, He will not be touring at all. No clear reason given just released a separate statement that he'll not be touring.
Have to wonder if the controversy surrounding Emily was the reason Rob decided to step back.
*"Return of Linkin Park, but there's something missing"*
.....who wants to tell him about Chester?
Well everything cames to a end and this is the end of my Favorite band 😢
Emily in Linkin Park doesn't feel home
No, she rather obviously feels alright.
Yawn 🥱. Give it time 😌
@@mono_log_ How so?
@@jonathansmith1590 feeds butterflies not
How would she, she has got pretty big shoes to fill, and the cancel culture attacks her since her first appearing as a co-vocalist. Not many has the courage and talent to bear and undertake that.
this band is done
Based on all the positive comments and reception on their official page, I highly doubt that.
@@M-D-Z. you can always delete comments.
@abeginnerspov5968 Okay and? I have no problem with people not liking the direction the band is heading but to state the band is done as if it's a fact is just ignorant. Look at the like/dislike ratio along with the comments as well. Small minority.
Somethings a miss, Chesters son has come out and basically said he is not happy with the decision to have Emily in the band. Robs left the band and brad is not playing live only working behind the scenes
Emptiness machine feels so lifeless. New LP is The EMPTYNESS MACHINE
I kind of agreed
Plz come back rob 😢
Good for Rob. He is right.
There's no right or wrong, Mike and Rob founded the band, if he lost interest that's his thing,.
#judgemental
@@michealrosen There is always right and wrong , good and evil. I hope you see that one day.
@@michealrosen I would say it's wrong to play their old songs with a new singer and drummer. Go make new songs. And in this case it feels wrong to continue the band like this too.
This guy knows...
They should change the name and logo as this is no longer Linkin Park!
It's not Linkin Park anymore, it's a Linkin Park Cover-Band.
I’ve been thinking that since the show. I had high hopes and they just went away during the show
Ah yes. Mike Shinoda is covering his own lyrics. Great logic.
Linkin Paramore!
saying it is not linkin park because you do not like the new singer is wild.
@@the0ne809 Don't forget about the new drummer either and with their new direction it's not really LP anymore is it?
And now Brad left the band ,- I know why they left , the band is now all about the business mindset not focused what Linkin Park was.
Brad didn't leave, he's just not going to be doing live shows for the foreseeable future.
Maybe check the spelling of the subtitles before you post the video next time?
They made a big mistake by removing Rob😡😡
this "new linkin park" is XERO. the actual original band before linkin park(founded by MS, JH and BD). rob bourdon was linkin park's DRUMMER. the same with chester bennington, he was LINKIN PARK's vocalist.
you can consider this new female vocalist is a XERO vocalist. this new "installment" should come out with the name of XERO so it would make whole lot of sense.
OK, where is my tin foil hat
Wtf are you smoking? 😂
There are even photos of Rob playing when they were Xero, what are you talking about?. God
And it's literally "From zero". You're a genius and a real fan to notice, wow
i don't know but the only linkin park album i liked is hybrid theory and meteora.
Rob, you are great. Good move
Yeah I’m starting to wonder if it’s because this new singer and ideology that made rob not come back
Rob is such a chad
He's the only one with principals?
The replicating The comeback of Evanescence 😂
Rob 😢
Evolving? The new vocalist is trying to sound like an old one. They sound like a Linkin Park cover band.
What’s up with Brad? Where was he?
Brad is heavily involved in the business side of LP at warner, it's been suggested on the fan group that it was something to do with that. remember they pushed everything back a week because another big band (oasis) also got back together.
@@lewisb85 it still doesnt explain why eh wont tour with them
@@WickedlNlBrad is part of the tour
Brad stills writes & works with the band but doesn't want to tour for the next while.
Honestly, I can't blame him as being away from home, friends, family, waiting in airports, traveling, sleep schedule all over the place, getting tired of it, the stress, etc... He may not find much value in that anymore after doing it for a very long time.
That's just my assumption tho!
@@Naikomi95 He isnt, he even made a statement. He records with the band but wont tour, his friend will cover for him.
Colin would be cool guy, one more multi-instrumentalist is always good
Let's find out the new album
Rob probabily didn't want to be in the same band as a vocalist that openly supported and is friend's with a convicted rapist and a depression denier (scientologist). Mike managed to get the most disrespectful combo to Chester in a single person.
Aye, that'd do it.
Couldn't agree more!
Considering this information about Emily is surfacing only now, I really doubt that was the reason. It's probably just like Mike said, no big deal. If he was lying and the split was actually messy, I'm sure Rob would come forward and expose him.
I want rob back to lp
wait, why does Jack White have writing credits on this new LP album??? WTF is going on
it sound to me that he band is "speaking for him" then "him letting himself speak for himself." this doesn't feel right and i think the band shoulda re-group or got a new singer. let us remember what we remember of linkin park.
Miss rob 😮
I think the name of the band should be changed . Linkin Park to me is Chester ...
Collin os pretty good i dont about the Scientology she sounds bad
No not really after finding out about Emily being scientology 🤷
Crazy plot twist I didn't catch on Colin I hope he's a better person than Emily. Even for being one of the new fans this changed me.
and supporting that dude from that 70's show. Its all gonna be out there now more and more and it wont be very positive for the band.
What's all that with scientology? Where did yall get it from?
@@bobabooey4537Emily just addressed that part of the situation
@@memedaddy793from what I've read it has to do with some pictures of her at a scientology church back from like 2013 or so. I don't the exact story so someone else can further elaborate or correct me

It's not even linkin park anymore

@@jonathansmith1590you clearly don't understand what Linkin park meant to others
I'm a LP fan since Hybrid Theory launched. And I agree. To me this isnt LP. If the main vocalist is gone, the band is done. But I respect their decision.
@@Riyozsu Nope, I understand perfectly 🥴. Try again 🤡
@@Slapnutss Even if Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell & Mike Shinoda decided to go to Seoul & hire Park Jae Sang (PSY) as their new vocalist, its their band, not yours, its their decisions, not yours, they can do whatever the fuck they wanna do with their band, coz LP is their band, not yours...
Bands regroup all the time. It annoys me so greatly that everyone is being so entitled and elitist about LP. Just let the music flow free.
And sometimes new bands form when things go wrong.
Absolute waste of 3 minutes. You said nothing that wasn't already known.
I'm glad people get to hear a new take on Linkin Park but it's just not for me Chester is too hard too replace and they flopped big time her voice didn't sound good at all from what I've heard so far its butchering at its finest. Hard pass!
It's just sad that the guy who basically created the band left it. But Colin seems decent, which I can't say about Emily
You gotta trust Mike on this.

Would "have" quit.
Aside from that : valid point.
She's not a lead vocalist for a band like early LP, but given their last album she's not a bad fit.
Then again, if it wasn't for their last album we would probably still have Chester and Rob; so there's that.
