to me it felt like Emptiness machine was "You are likely going to be pissed about this" and Heavy is the Crown was "but this is what you asked for...."
EXACTLY. Chester sang from a different emotion than Emily. She isn't trying to replace Chester, she's doing her own thing that happens to overlap a bit. She'll do fine.
Technically she start the sentence before the scream so the air needed to do all the sentence plus the long scream its around 16 secs, absolute madness! Great job and amazing song. LP it's back baby ❤🔥🔥
@@Tonylytics Thing is, this is not a coincidence that her scream is 16 sec just 1 sec less than chester's one. I want to think that the LP members wanted to make a clear message, they are not trying to replace Chester, because he is and will be irreplaceable

Love how the song reflects both on Emily and Faker (The face and icon of League of Legends). The crown is in fact heavy for Emily to carry the heavy expectations of Linkin Park fans, as well as for Faker, to defend his championship title once again after all these years being on the top.
I'm not a League of Legends fan but I did look into Faker and learn a little about the game-play. Heavy Is The Crown is very apt for Faker being the first person to be inducted into the Hall of Legends- hell of an honour....
I liked Emily as lead singer in The Emptiness machine, but when I heard this... OMG! I totally fall in love with her!!!!! She's f*ing amazing!!! And this comes from someone that can sing EVERYTHING Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and most of Mariah Carey sing without effort. I can sing sopran opera if I want to and no man, I cannot do that!!! (I can keep the lenght, but distorting the voice that way at the same time? That's f*ing hellish difficulty!). She's absolutely incredible!!!

Chester lives through us and the band. They aren’t replacing the loved man, they are continuing his legacy and the legacy of the band. Fuck them haters.
Man I loved your reaction in The Emptiness Machine! I felt the same way!!!! Yes, Emily has already played guitar live in NYC and also the other concerts! Thank you for sharing your reaction mate, let's all get hyped together in this new chapter! (PS since the "this is what we asked for" is all one take, so 16.5)
I love how the band members treat Emily joining as not being a replacement for Chester but rather that she’s picking up his torch and carrying it with them to ensure his memory and legacy won’t be forgotten.
I swear, on the live she paused and gathered herself before the 13 second scream as if to say "This one's for you Chester" and then just ripped that scream out from the depths of her soul. 🔥🔥🔥
Emily's 15 second scream in this is actually more difficult than Chester's 17 second scream in Given Up. Chester changes his note 2/3 through but it's much harder to sustain the same note.
True! Emily’s scream is like the marathon of vocal endurance, while Chester’s is more like a sprint with a fancy twist. Both are impressive, just in different ways-like comparing apples and really, really angry oranges!
The reason I am comparing their screams is in reply to everyone saying she is worse. Longer screams doesn't necessarily mean better scream. Holding a note that long without going up or down an octave is really difficult without your voice cracking. I almost guarantee her scream got her the job, it is next level but people just want to hate her.
Linkin Park was a band for 18 years. It would be strange if they hadn't spoken about what should happen to the band if one of the members suddenly dies. And I think Chester would be the last one who would say that after me you don't do anything anymore.
I think you really need to count from when she started singing, because she did not breath before the scream which makes it 16-17 seconds without a breath. She did around 13 seconds live with the song in the end which is pretty impressive also.
Long time LP fan as well. I’m sure a lot us, fans, has the same reason of how much the band means to us and how it impacted our lives. We ALL grieved and a lot are still grieving. Controversies aside, it is unfair for Emily to get all the hate she’s getting regarding the MUSIC. It is an IMMENSE undertaking to take on the role she’s taking place for. She understood that. We all seen that. She was BRAVE and did the best she could. As evident she got more confident and comfortable she is doing much better in her live performances. At least for me, I am happy for the rest of the band to come back together and do what they love… make and play MUSIC. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who got emotional for their return. Fans of current and former need to focus on just the MUSIC not anything else. We all have the choice to press play or not. The band has moved on and supporting fans has as well. There are still millions of fans continuing to support them. There are plenty of other bands to listen to. The hate needs to be laid to rest.
Absolutely! If we could all just press "mute" on the haters and crank up the volume on the music, life would be a lot easier! Let’s just rock out and leave the drama for reality TV!
I'm not very familiar with LOL, but everyone has been ripping me a new one in the comments for not knowing this stuff haha 😂 Thank you for being here friend!
@@ArcCahlonThat obviously refers to the “heavy crown” that Chester left behind, and that the band (and now with Emily) must be up to the task to carry it without him.
@@diosbatman yeah I was just being silly. but in all honesty it's a very heavy one that they gotta face. she has the vocals and the band still has the sound but it's the folks that refuse to move on from being gone that they will need to work on.
When I first listened to the song, when Emily first delivered the lines "this is what you asked for, heavy is the crown" I saw it as a clapback to the haters who were saying that were saying she's trying to replace Chester. I believe it's saying that Linkin Park making more music is what everyone asked for and now the band has to their part to carry Chester's crown and make him proud. That thought became even more solidified when I heard Mike say that "Chester is all of you". I believe that he wasnt just referring to us as the fans but the entirety of Linkin Park, the band and fans included. I honestly already warmed up to Emily when The Emptiness Machine dropped. Her vocal range and her lung capacity to pull off a scream like that is insane and I welcome this new chapter of linkin park.
I love Emily, she sings amazing and as I always say, she is not replacing Chester, Chester is irreplaceable, she is a new member and she is reviving LP. I love Mike for the incredible work he does. I love your videos too haha it's very cute how you talk about Emily and when you cried with The Emptiness maching song, it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. you have a new follower
What I think, is that all these haters ditching LP because they don't like Emily, are making it easier for me to get tickets if they ever come to Australia. Less competition 😂
I was lucky enough to get tickets for the London show and it was amazing obviously she doesn't sound like chester but she does sound like linking park she was great and I hope people eventually stop comparing them and understand she is not a replacement this is the next step for the band. I hope they come to Australia soon and you get to see them too. RIP chester
I needed them more now then ever, and there back. They are going to help so many genrations of my kind and new ones. Its about time we have this flame come back. I actually only cried in the begging of " The emptyness machine" but honestly i listened to both and ive felt renewed myself. I litterly listen to them being bullied and hated in highschool, they saved me.
Credit to you for the reasonable & mature take on Emily’s Scientology background. I believe in (mostly) separating art from the artist. Like you can’t dismiss Tom Cruise is incredibly talented just because he’s into Scientology too. Whether you think they’re a good person or not is unrelated.
As a big fan of Linkin Park, I personally am so happy they are back. Miss Chester Immensely. Loved both this and Empty Machine. The long scream gives me goosebumps... To have the old vibe back is just... now to figure out how to listen without letting getting teary eyed.
I really love the LP band. I used to listen to them when I was a teenager. Now I'm happy and excited that they are back and there will be a chance to be at the concert ;)
Moreover, the 10:13 video is setting up Worlds, so while it may have been written from a LP perspective, the video is about T1, Winner of last years Worlds, and the difficulty since winning last year. They barely qualified for Worlds this year.
Not only she has a full sentence (this is what you asked) before the scream, she imediatly has to breath and continue with the chorus, which in my personal opinion, is actually harder than the given up scream, where you can get some small breaths before the "misery" and there's no follow up with a chorus.
It's so easy to hate anonymous in the internet. All these people would never be that brave to say these exact things to her in person. This woman got already more balls of steel then men’s who are hating her because of following footsteps everyone else would be afraid of.
@@Tonylytics Yeah man I mean I watch these live shows and all I see are excited people who are happy that LP is back. Where are the haters there? Weird isn’t it 😄
I didn't know that she was/is the vocalist of Dead Sara!!! It's funny to me because I have the song of "Weatherman" in my spotify since long time ago, think i got it in my weekly discovery, and obviously I liked it. I thought she had like a very aggresive, acid vocal. So I have been listening to Emily since some time ago and I didn't even noticed.
the video somehow makes the song more powerful. i love how the people in it are real pro players of League of Legends OR are Linkin Park. that raises it above the rest for me.
Toxic Fans Logic: DON't MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES! STAY AND GET STUCK IN THE PAST AND KEEP ON MOURNNG CHESTER! True Fans: It's been 8 years. Let's support the new era of Linkin Park and move forward together.
loved the reaction the song is amazing I really enjoyed it. It even had my daughter going and she's not a big rock fan. I am not sure how familiar you are with League but in the video each person was portraying a character they play in game.
Wow, if we can convert a non-rock fan into a fan with just one song, we might just have to start a League of Rock! 🎸 And i'm not too knowledgable on LOL, but this makes me wanna play... I guess they're geniuses in marketing too
@@Tonylytics you should watch there music video's they do an amazing job from and they cover all music rock, rap, pop, k-pop and some emotional stuff as well
@@Tonylytics there's warriors, legends never die. I did forgot to mention they have music groups like pentakill (rock) and kda ( k-pop ) true damage ( hiphop ) there it's a literal rabbit hole of music. A lot of which are really good one I do recommend for rock is Pentakill - Mortal Reminder
Send this video and show from start to 2:30 to Chester's mom and brother. With all do ever respect to the Bennington's family, there's nothing the band will ever do to erase Chester's legacy. Ever. Let alone the royalties that goes to his core family.
Я не знаю как вы, но я когда услышал этот 15 секундный скрим я улетел в небеса. Мое почтение ждем дальше спасибо. А твои слезы, ты бы выдел как я рыдал, поэтому все хорошо не переживай, наоборот твои слезы это воплощение любви к группе.
Hi! I have to tell you that I love the way you're reacting to linkin park's songs. I discovered that Linkin Park did a comeback thanks to this song because it's gonna be part of the Worlds from League of Legends (the animation is based on teams that are fighting for the cup, so "heavy is the crown" is pretty relevent here because the one who has it the best player in LOL right now. So he has to fight to keep it and be aware he can loose it). And if I have to be honest, I didn't really have the hype about Linkin Park. I appreciate 2 or 3 song but nothing more. But this song was THE START for me. Emily is the one Linkin park needed and she's the one that made me into it. Her voice is going through my soul and "Heavy is the Crown" and "The Emptiness Machine" are vibrating with me. Your reactions to those two songs represent exactly how I feel when I listen to them. So a big thank you. And hope you the best!
"I don't know what Scientology has to do with music" exactly lol I don't know anything about her personal life and I feel in most scenarios, it's irrelevant and none of our business. I don't know much about Scientology or any of that stuff but I have plenty of people assume things about me and my life simply based on the fact I live in Utah and grew up in an LDS world. If I had to guess, she probably isn't part of it anymore and if they're dangerous, it's probably unsafe to speak publicly about it as well. Nobody has had any evidence of this girl doing anything harmful to anyone else, but I think people are digging and spreading things in efforts to cancel her just because she is now singing for this band. I'm sure the internet would do it to anyone they put in this position because that's what the internet is like these days. Linkin Park however has been my favorite band since elementary school and I'm 32. I've spent incomprehensible lengths of time listening to albums on repeat throughout my childhood, teen years, and adult life and I stood up for them and supported them every time the internet hated on them simply for their style choices and I'll support them now. I'm really happy about all of this and Emily is crazy talented, I was really impressed with some of her other work. This just works well and I trust Mike Shinoda. This band is one of the least controversial bands ever in the rock industry in my opinion. Plenty of scandals in other bands. Just let these guys make music lol As for Emily, I hope that things people say don't really affect her - so much of this is literally just cyber bullying and these people think they're doing it in the name of Chester or something which is really ironic with how much he hated bullying. Also this song is freaking amazing, I can't believe they're coming out with absolute magic so early on. I also can't believe she did that scream live and was only short by a second or so. Chester was known for being one of the only people who can hold screams for that long and she's already doing that - especially as a female?? She's special. Protect her at all costs.
Scientology and music? Sounds like a new genre: “Scientology Rock!” Just imagine the album cover! 😂 But seriously, let’s just enjoy the tunes and leave the drama behind!
I don't know if anyone put this in here, but League of Legends usually has animated videos like this for their World Championships! You should watch the other ones if you liked this one. The people who aren't the band are the players who all participated in the championship!
Don’t even trip bro your the emptiness machine reaction and the emotions that you couldn’t control is what gained me sub cause that was my exact reaction
She is one of the few women that could do heavy metal. There was a singer years ago, named Darby Mills, who was in a band called The Headpins. Okay music, but her voice...Geezus! Too bad that did not pan out.
Honestly, people just love to hate. They’re just mad that she isn’t Chester, and honestly she isn’t and never should be. No one can be Chester. I honestly think she embodies his spirit perfectly to help the band move on into the future, and I feel like Chester himself would approve of her.
all the characters in the video are the pro players in this years world championships of League. The guy with the crown, "Faker", has been THE leading champion player for legit like... 10 years. It may look cheesy seeing these gamer kids made to look like they're at war like this, but Fake with the crown? Nah, that makes sense. The League community doesnt question it. Song def fits the video, not mad at all.
The video is for league of legends worlds 2024. Its a very popular video game. The animated guys you see in the video are from the teams that mostly fight it of in the finals which are blg and t1.
Haters will hate no matter what. If you don't like the fact that they've returned, don't buy the album or listen to the new music. No one is forcing you either way. LP are honoring Chester but reinventing themselves, not replacing him. The old material will always be his legacy and no one can erase that. Picking a female vocalist was genius and this is Linkin Park 2.0, a new chapter and a fresh start. Great to have them back!
I don't get the haters, it's been 8 years... the band members want to continue. The music is still in the spirit of old LP and she fits seemlessly in with the style
Don't worry about it, those "fans" been complaining since a thousand suns was released lol

Chester lives through us and the band. They aren’t replacing the loved man, they are continuing his legacy and the legacy of the band. Fuck them haters.
Man I loved your reaction in The Emptiness Machine! I felt the same way!!!!
Yes, Emily has already played guitar live in NYC and also the other concerts!
Thank you for sharing your reaction mate, let's all get hyped together in this new chapter!
(PS since the "this is what we asked for" is all one take, so 16.5)
Thanks! I’m pretty sure my reaction was just a mix of excitement and trying to hold back tears. 😂 Let’s keep the hype train rolling!
You made 20 different faces during that 16 second scream 🤣 So did I. BANGERRRRR ALERT!!
The last LP song was great, but i feel this song is more amazing for Emily. It really shows what Emily can do.
It really does push the envelope of what she's capable of!
I love how the band members treat Emily joining as not being a replacement for Chester but rather that she’s picking up his torch and carrying it with them to ensure his memory and legacy won’t be forgotten.
I swear, on the live she paused and gathered herself before the 13 second scream as if to say "This one's for you Chester" and then just ripped that scream out from the depths of her soul. 🔥🔥🔥
Emily's 15 second scream in this is actually more difficult than Chester's 17 second scream in Given Up. Chester changes his note 2/3 through but it's much harder to sustain the same note.
True! Emily’s scream is like the marathon of vocal endurance, while Chester’s is more like a sprint with a fancy twist. Both are impressive, just in different ways-like comparing apples and really, really angry oranges!
Scream was 16 seconds.

Why you compare their screams?
The reason I am comparing their screams is in reply to everyone saying she is worse. Longer screams doesn't necessarily mean better scream. Holding a note that long without going up or down an octave is really difficult without your voice cracking. I almost guarantee her scream got her the job, it is next level but people just want to hate her.
I love how musicians get it because of the amount of work that it takes.
Linkin Park was a band for 18 years. It would be strange if they hadn't spoken about what should happen to the band if one of the members suddenly dies. And I think Chester would be the last one who would say that after me you don't do anything anymore.
I think you really need to count from when she started singing, because she did not breath before the scream which makes it 16-17 seconds without a breath. She did around 13 seconds live with the song in the end which is pretty impressive also.
Long time LP fan as well. I’m sure a lot us, fans, has the same reason of how much the band means to us and how it impacted our lives. We ALL grieved and a lot are still grieving. Controversies aside, it is unfair for Emily to get all the hate she’s getting regarding the MUSIC. It is an IMMENSE undertaking to take on the role she’s taking place for. She understood that. We all seen that. She was BRAVE and did the best she could. As evident she got more confident and comfortable she is doing much better in her live performances. At least for me, I am happy for the rest of the band to come back together and do what they love… make and play MUSIC. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who got emotional for their return. Fans of current and former need to focus on just the MUSIC not anything else. We all have the choice to press play or not. The band has moved on and supporting fans has as well. There are still millions of fans continuing to support them. There are plenty of other bands to listen to. The hate needs to be laid to rest.
Absolutely! If we could all just press "mute" on the haters and crank up the volume on the music, life would be a lot easier! Let’s just rock out and leave the drama for reality TV!
@@Tonylytics Exactly bro! I understand they are one of the biggest band in the world. But this sh*t got out of hand… Enough already… lol
brother i cant breathe out for 16 seconds let alone scream 😂
Same her 😂
We are so back!!
We are so back baby!!!
Bro those characters are the L.O.L champions and competitors, Plus FAKER as King!!!!
I'm not very familiar with LOL, but everyone has been ripping me a new one in the comments for not knowing this stuff haha 😂
Thank you for being here friend!
@@Tonylytics No rip, we love to have people reacting to League of Legends content, keep it up! 🙂
This is the reaction I’ve been waiting for… maybe even asked for lol
Your comment is what I asked for 😂. I'm a sucker for puns! Thanks for being here :)
Chester did a 17s scream
Emily did roughly 16.2 in their recent live show
She is fucking amazing
literally the band "gave" statement: "this is what you asked for"
true but what about the crown? lol
@@ArcCahlonThat obviously refers to the “heavy crown” that Chester left behind, and that the band (and now with Emily) must be up to the task to carry it without him.
@@diosbatman yeah I was just being silly. but in all honesty it's a very heavy one that they gotta face. she has the vocals and the band still has the sound but it's the folks that refuse to move on from being gone that they will need to work on.
When I first listened to the song, when Emily first delivered the lines "this is what you asked for, heavy is the crown" I saw it as a clapback to the haters who were saying that were saying she's trying to replace Chester. I believe it's saying that Linkin Park making more music is what everyone asked for and now the band has to their part to carry Chester's crown and make him proud. That thought became even more solidified when I heard Mike say that "Chester is all of you". I believe that he wasnt just referring to us as the fans but the entirety of Linkin Park, the band and fans included. I honestly already warmed up to Emily when The Emptiness Machine dropped. Her vocal range and her lung capacity to pull off a scream like that is insane and I welcome this new chapter of linkin park.
I love Emily, she sings amazing and as I always say, she is not replacing Chester, Chester is irreplaceable, she is a new member and she is reviving LP.
I love Mike for the incredible work he does. I love your videos too haha it's very cute how you talk about Emily and when you cried with The Emptiness maching song, it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. you have a new follower
I’m watching all your Linkin Park React, sooo good 💥
What I think, is that all these haters ditching LP because they don't like Emily, are making it easier for me to get tickets if they ever come to Australia.
Less competition 😂
I was lucky enough to get tickets for the London show and it was amazing obviously she doesn't sound like chester but she does sound like linking park she was great and I hope people eventually stop comparing them and understand she is not a replacement this is the next step for the band. I hope they come to Australia soon and you get to see them too. RIP chester
YES this is my fave comment I hope if they come to seattle the haters will give me a chance at PIT tickets
lmao true
Take into account she screams 'This is what you ask...' before the long 'for....' Elite
I did afterwards, and realized she's really screaming for 17 straight seconds! lol
I needed them more now then ever, and there back. They are going to help so many genrations of my kind and new ones. Its about time we have this flame come back. I actually only cried in the begging of " The emptyness machine" but honestly i listened to both and ive felt renewed myself. I litterly listen to them being bullied and hated in highschool, they saved me.
It's also animated because it's a song being used for a video game esports starting. Love this song. I love that Linkin Park is making music again.
Credit to you for the reasonable & mature take on Emily’s Scientology background. I believe in (mostly) separating art from the artist. Like you can’t dismiss Tom Cruise is incredibly talented just because he’s into Scientology too. Whether you think they’re a good person or not is unrelated.
" Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”
heavy is the head that were a crown
heavy is the crown
As a big fan of Linkin Park, I personally am so happy they are back. Miss Chester Immensely. Loved both this and Empty Machine. The long scream gives me goosebumps... To have the old vibe back is just... now to figure out how to listen without letting getting teary eyed.
Right? I’m right there with you! It’s like a nostalgia trip that hits you right in the feels. Just gotta embrace the tears, man!
I really love the LP band. I used to listen to them when I was a teenager. Now I'm happy and excited that they are back and there will be a chance to be at the concert ;)
Here for the LP chapter of your channel. Your videos are cool! 🤘🤘🔥
Thanks! I promise not to let my LP chapter get too "long-winded"-just the right amount of fun! 😂
@@TonylyticsLP will always be fun :) you’re genuine 🤘🏼
I have never been excited for album release over a long time
Its like they never were gone ❤
Linkin Park is back and i feel it’s like the early 2000s. Thank you Mike..
3:25 Actually no. This would have been animated either way. League of Legends Worlds’ Anthems are usually done in that manner.
Moreover, the 10:13 video is setting up Worlds, so while it may have been written from a LP perspective, the video is about T1, Winner of last years Worlds, and the difficulty since winning last year. They barely qualified for Worlds this year.
Not only she has a full sentence (this is what you asked) before the scream, she imediatly has to breath and continue with the chorus, which in my personal opinion, is actually harder than the given up scream, where you can get some small breaths before the "misery" and there's no follow up with a chorus.
It's so easy to hate anonymous in the internet. All these people would never be that brave to say these exact things to her in person. This woman got already more balls of steel then men’s who are hating her because of following footsteps everyone else would be afraid of.
Absolutely! It’s all too common for people to hide behind screens and throw shade. True bravery is standing up and being authentic, just like she is.
@@Tonylytics Yeah man I mean I watch these live shows and all I see are excited people who are happy that LP is back. Where are the haters there? Weird isn’t it 😄
ayyy man, i've been loving your reaction since the emptiness machine ! and yes Emily Armstrong definitely giving what "they" asked for !
I've been waiting for you to react to this!!
Btw 2nd of the november is final of Worlds 2024, so they will perform this at opening ceremony
Thanks for responding to my request man! Haha
No problem friend! I try not to ignore people lol
I didn't know that she was/is the vocalist of Dead Sara!!! It's funny to me because I have the song of "Weatherman" in my spotify since long time ago, think i got it in my weekly discovery, and obviously I liked it. I thought she had like a very aggresive, acid vocal. So I have been listening to Emily since some time ago and I didn't even noticed.
love emily Armstrong
lp is back
the video somehow makes the song more powerful. i love how the people in it are real pro players of League of Legends OR are Linkin Park. that raises it above the rest for me.
she did it at one of the live concerts in Germany I believe and it was 12 seconds live. There is video of it.
Toxic Fans Logic: DON't MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES! STAY AND GET STUCK IN THE PAST AND KEEP ON MOURNNG CHESTER!
True Fans: It's been 8 years. Let's support the new era of Linkin Park and move forward together.
💯! Preach 🙏
damn i like your reaction...i kinda feel the same with your emotion that your show to us... love it!
loved the reaction the song is amazing I really enjoyed it. It even had my daughter going and she's not a big rock fan. I am not sure how familiar you are with League but in the video each person was portraying a character they play in game.
Wow, if we can convert a non-rock fan into a fan with just one song, we might just have to start a League of Rock! 🎸
And i'm not too knowledgable on LOL, but this makes me wanna play... I guess they're geniuses in marketing too
@@Tonylytics you should watch there music video's they do an amazing job from and they cover all music rock, rap, pop, k-pop and some emotional stuff as well
@@fftraveler7719 will do 😁
Any in particular you recommend?
@@Tonylytics there's warriors, legends never die. I did forgot to mention they have music groups like pentakill (rock) and kda ( k-pop ) true damage ( hiphop ) there it's a literal rabbit hole of music. A lot of which are really good one I do recommend for rock is Pentakill - Mortal Reminder
Nice video. Maybe you could review becoming the archetype Dichotomy? It's not a modern or overly popular song - but it rocks.
Thanks for the shoutout! I’m always down to check out some underrated bangers. "Dichotomy" might just become my new jam!
Read about the connection of Emily to the Church of Scientology somewhere. It's all around TH-cam and the internet.
Send this video and show from start to 2:30 to Chester's mom and brother. With all do ever respect to the Bennington's family, there's nothing the band will ever do to erase Chester's legacy. Ever. Let alone the royalties that goes to his core family.
Loooove this one tooo !!! Goood promesses !!! When the new record will be sell ?
“i cant do that, can you do that?” 🤣🤣🤣
You are so nice man! Bear hug from Brazil!
Я не знаю как вы, но я когда услышал этот 15 секундный скрим я улетел в небеса.
Мое почтение ждем дальше спасибо.
А твои слезы, ты бы выдел как я рыдал, поэтому все хорошо не переживай, наоборот твои слезы это воплощение любви к группе.
Not only the scream but five words at first, no breath, and then repeat after the scream with one quick breath.
From Zero (or Xero!)
Such a fitting name for the First studio Album involving Emily & Colin!
I love that they went with a girl. We need more women in rock.
My timer on both YT and my phone says nearly 16 seconds, but either way it's so impressive. Love this song so much, enjoyed your reaction.
Yeah I called it short. I only started at the last fry syllable lol
Emily the Queen
She is amazing. I don't see much hate in any video comments.
*so good*
Emily plays guitar live when they perform Over Each Other
Linkin of Legends
React to their new album in november
I look forward to it 😁
Welcome back!!!🎉
Hi! I have to tell you that I love the way you're reacting to linkin park's songs.
I discovered that Linkin Park did a comeback thanks to this song because it's gonna be part of the Worlds from League of Legends (the animation is based on teams that are fighting for the cup, so "heavy is the crown" is pretty relevent here because the one who has it the best player in LOL right now. So he has to fight to keep it and be aware he can loose it).
And if I have to be honest, I didn't really have the hype about Linkin Park. I appreciate 2 or 3 song but nothing more. But this song was THE START for me. Emily is the one Linkin park needed and she's the one that made me into it. Her voice is going through my soul and "Heavy is the Crown" and "The Emptiness Machine" are vibrating with me.
Your reactions to those two songs represent exactly how I feel when I listen to them. So a big thank you. And hope you the best!
"I don't know what Scientology has to do with music" exactly lol I don't know anything about her personal life and I feel in most scenarios, it's irrelevant and none of our business. I don't know much about Scientology or any of that stuff but I have plenty of people assume things about me and my life simply based on the fact I live in Utah and grew up in an LDS world. If I had to guess, she probably isn't part of it anymore and if they're dangerous, it's probably unsafe to speak publicly about it as well. Nobody has had any evidence of this girl doing anything harmful to anyone else, but I think people are digging and spreading things in efforts to cancel her just because she is now singing for this band. I'm sure the internet would do it to anyone they put in this position because that's what the internet is like these days. Linkin Park however has been my favorite band since elementary school and I'm 32. I've spent incomprehensible lengths of time listening to albums on repeat throughout my childhood, teen years, and adult life and I stood up for them and supported them every time the internet hated on them simply for their style choices and I'll support them now. I'm really happy about all of this and Emily is crazy talented, I was really impressed with some of her other work. This just works well and I trust Mike Shinoda. This band is one of the least controversial bands ever in the rock industry in my opinion. Plenty of scandals in other bands. Just let these guys make music lol As for Emily, I hope that things people say don't really affect her - so much of this is literally just cyber bullying and these people think they're doing it in the name of Chester or something which is really ironic with how much he hated bullying.
Also this song is freaking amazing, I can't believe they're coming out with absolute magic so early on. I also can't believe she did that scream live and was only short by a second or so. Chester was known for being one of the only people who can hold screams for that long and she's already doing that - especially as a female?? She's special. Protect her at all costs.
Scientology and music? Sounds like a new genre: “Scientology Rock!” Just imagine the album cover! 😂 But seriously, let’s just enjoy the tunes and leave the drama behind!
You gotta time it from the “This is what..” lyric, cuz that’s really where her breath starts
I don't know if anyone put this in here, but League of Legends usually has animated videos like this for their World Championships! You should watch the other ones if you liked this one. The people who aren't the band are the players who all participated in the championship!
The most people Love her! F*** off haters! Who cares?
5:50 The King and some "knights" lmao, if he would knew. Good thoughts at the end tho
Don’t even trip bro your the emptiness machine reaction and the emotions that you couldn’t control is what gained me sub cause that was my exact reaction
Thank you for the sub! 😀
It was hard to control the tears, this was one of my favorite bands growing up, and I wasn't expecting they'd ever return.
@@Tonylytics yea bro I’m right there with you I was born in 1990 and LP was the perfect blend of rock and hip hop
It's looks like the lyric is writted for the lore of the competitive scene of the game
She is one of the few women that could do heavy metal. There was a singer years ago, named Darby Mills, who was in a band called The Headpins. Okay music, but her voice...Geezus! Too bad that did not pan out.
Emily is a newer member of the Linkin Park Family... not a replacement... she is family and this is her time
Right? It's like adding a new flavor to an already epic ice cream sundae-still delicious, just a little more interesting!
Dead Sara❤️ Linkin Park🔥🔥
She's not Chester, and she doesn't need to be! She sings great.
True! If she tried to be Chester, she might end up needing a new set of vocal cords!
I may have missed the comment but the scream was 16 seconds and it was a homage to Chester’s 17 seconds ❤
Honestly, people just love to hate. They’re just mad that she isn’t Chester, and honestly she isn’t and never should be. No one can be Chester. I honestly think she embodies his spirit perfectly to help the band move on into the future, and I feel like Chester himself would approve of her.
It will never be Chester, but it will for sure be LP.
That shit gave me goosebumps when I heard it during League Worlds X_X
i'm not a huge fan of groups with female voice cause i think it's missing something, but not with the new LP she is perfect for me in this group
all the characters in the video are the pro players in this years world championships of League. The guy with the crown, "Faker", has been THE leading champion player for legit like... 10 years. It may look cheesy seeing these gamer kids made to look like they're at war like this, but Fake with the crown? Nah, that makes sense. The League community doesnt question it.
Song def fits the video, not mad at all.
The video is for league of legends worlds 2024. Its a very popular video game. The animated guys you see in the video are from the teams that mostly fight it of in the finals which are blg and t1.
Haters will hate no matter what. If you don't like the fact that they've returned, don't buy the album or listen to the new music. No one is forcing you either way.
LP are honoring Chester but reinventing themselves, not replacing him. The old material will always be his legacy and no one can erase that. Picking a female vocalist was genius and this is Linkin Park 2.0, a new chapter and a fresh start. Great to have them back!
Its animated because its League of Legends worlds anthem. It's animated every year, definetly not because some kid liked animated videos.
