Meteora

White strips are irritating. >.< The vines are okay and so are the hives but the stripes are one band I cant listen to.

and to the kid who said LP are greedy. Look at OLP. they like to release Limited editons, then normal aditions, then buy this cd for 2 live tracks woohoo!

LP makes jack shit off album sales. all the money they make if from touring. It was their first cd deal I bet the didnt get that good of a deal. 5 cents an album? PLus they had to pay back the money it costed to make hybrid theory... Reanimation was a good cd, they didnt expect it to do well even though it did. they evengave away the cd/dvd version to the fan clubbers. Atleast they didnt steal my money like another fan club did. *coughPPU* (ive still gotten jack shit from those fucks and they dont answer emails and my check was cashed ages ago)

also they put on a set of free shows for the street team and LPU. that comes out of their own pockets.

the dvd is 36 mins long and there is 15 mins on the cd itself. its only 3 bucks more according to you. I think thats a pretty good deal.

Linkin Park cares about the fans especially Mike who posts to us and talks to us and chats with us.

likin park owns.

more people would say that too if it wasn't so 'cool' to bash the band. They have good songs and they take time for fans. Reanimation was Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahns side project. they had beed wanting to do it for ever and alt of the songs on the cd were kick ass. especially the remix with Stephen of taproot. (Another great band)

also there is a non DVD cd that you can buy for 10 bucks at walmart. Its not like they just sold the dvd version to make extra cash. You can buy either one. and if you still want to see the dvd you can watch most of what's on it thought the site. look at the LPTV player. you can hear some of the songs and watch the dvd in episodes. for free.

I'm just sick of the whole "The" band idea.....thank you to Sum 41 for mocking them.

Anywho, I agree with Corey about the whole Linkin Park reanimation cd being a joke because it was EXACTLY that. A corny way to make some money while they put off the release of Meteora.

I definitely DO have to say though.......that I like Meteora, and it was the first cd I've bought in almost a year and a half. I love illegal filesharing!

If only it did make them money *eye roll* not like they dont deserve it. over 4 million copies of hybrid theory were downloaded. thats alot of money. Reanimation sold like..maybe a lil over 1mil..world wide? I dunno I dont think it went past platnuim if it even mde it there.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » 3/28/2003, 5:42 pm

Is this the *cough* start of a whole "filesharing thing sucks" arguement? hahaha.....this could take a couple years to end.

I feel bad for them for losing out on those sales, truely I do......but before filesharing got HEAVY, I mean DEEP, people were already bitchin about how cd's cost too damn much money?

Simply put.....lower cd prices down to no higher than ten bucks (including appl sales tax) then I'll change my mind.

I bought Hybrid Theory back the DAY after the release date, back when everybody who I'd asked "hey, heard of Linkin Park" would reply "who's that?" hahaha and look at them now....

Korn "Untouchables", on the other hand, I don't care if they lost millions of sales, I found it online....I got it for free.

OLP, Linkin Park, Eminem, and U2 are the only ones I will actually buy now.....as long as filesharing is around, so it my ability to get freebees.

the oppiste actually. File share rocks. Im just saying people shouldnt bitch about a band being greedy when they give fans a list of cd stores that sell the cd cheeper, ask you how much you paid, send some to people for free, and then tell you to "go ahead and download that shit" - Mike Shinoda.

that's all. They support file share. their label doesn't lol but they do.

That in my book is the oppiste of greedy.

I d/l music all the time, i usually buy the cd...usually

clumsybuffy · Post by **clumsybuffy** » 3/28/2003, 6:01 pm

I bought the dvd version and a teeshirt for 30 (that included 6 bucks for shipping, stupid ups) and I got it a day before everyone else:)

clumsybuffy · Post by **clumsybuffy** » 3/28/2003, 6:03 pm

I never shut up.. lol my roomate paid either 9.44 or 10.55 I cant rememebr..

Adn I dont think bands get to decide hw much they get to sell the cd for. Mike tld me that himself. he also told me not to buy the cd till I looked at the site lol oops I perordered. I wanted the teeshirt.

Well, from the few parts of that I actually understood... I wasnt bashing LP because of their music. I like all their music and was a pretty hardcore fan around the release of Hybrid Theory and long afterwards. Reanimation just pissed me off. As does the DVD thing.

Joe Cooler · Post by **Joe Cooler** » 3/29/2003, 10:19 pm

About the comment about Rolling Stone giving Meteora 4.5 stars... well that would never happen. Rolling Stone would never give a band like Linkin Park 4.5 stars.. i doubt even 4. Bands that are hyped and "mainstream" rarely take away high honours on Rolling Stones list. You either have to be an old vintage band from back in the day or put out music that is completely wacked and different to get higher than 4.

About the White Stripes. Clearly you don't know music, at all. The White Stripes are amazing musically, but that must get lost by you, seeing that you're a Taproot and Linkin Park fan. There's nothing better than catchy hooks from Nu-metal bands to erase anything in your mind, right?

The Hives and The Vines are horrible. Neither band can play good music, neither singer can sing at all. If your music is dominated by pointless screaming, that means the singer can't sing or they can't find a word to fill in the time, so they just go "waaaaaaaaahhhh" in a really annoying, high pitched voice. That is why The Hives and The Vines suck.

Linkin Park is greedy. You don't reproduce an album, make a techno beat for each song, throw it on there, then exploit mindless children like yourself out of $17. I went to my local record store today and see that the new Linkin Park cd is only $23. Last time I checked $23 for a cd, no matter what band it may be, is far too much.

You seem to have a stick up your ass about OLP. Why don't you just leave the board and join a Linkin Park board? I am sure your talk of how awesome Linkin Park is will be more appreciated there, then on an OLP board. Until you actually like the band whose board you are on, don't post here, you're not wanted.

Like Raine does? Sorry couldn't resist.

lol. I always check here when Im in a bad mood it seems.. O.o Listen you Ive been an olp fan since..well 6 years maybe? I dunno. I can say what I want about them cos I dont believe OLP is god like some people on this board do. And OLP are in it for money just like Linkin Park is. Any band that releases cds as "limited edition'is. I know a few olp fans that have 3 copies of gravity becase everytime they bought it olp had some new promotion like a cd with two fucking lame ass songs on it.

as for the cd being 23.00 its the dvd version. You can buy it or the non dvd for between 10-18. it depends on where you go. I bought my freind one for 10.55 including tax.

Im not going anywhere. I don't have to. The white stripes are shit in my opinion. and Just because I love Taproot and Linkin Park doesn't mean a thing. I like numerous bands. And for the record I go to a lp board. A lot more than OLP cos the CC turned in to a hell hole (I have no clue if its better) and people dont usually post enough here the lp board goes like mad and its more fun.I dont have to praise LP if I dont want to.

See I come here after being in a bad mood and I see things like that and they annoy me a little more. *Takes a shot* I get really irritated with these people who think that the music they like is far better than all this *turns up nose* nu Metal* Taproot is one hell of a band. And LP's new cd is amazing.

And the reason I don't like the white stripes is beacuse that uber talented lead singer has a really annoying voice and the music gets on my nerves. (I dont own a cd from any of the the bands actaully)

another good band to check out it Queens of the Stoneage. 600X the band TWS are.

as for OLP, I still love them. Doesn't matter that I only slightly liked Gravity. (Dont tell my rooommate)

and YAMS:

I have no idea how many stars they got. Someone posted it in the LP message board. They said that Hybrid theory made 2.5, reanimation 3 and Meteora made like 4.5... I haven't seen it so I dunno. I'm assuming they found it online. They didn't post a link so they could be full of it. I wouldn't think they would cos RS doesn't like LP. *shrug*

Completely with ya with the whole "Reanimation" release, but why the DVD? You ever check out their major DVD release "The Pancake Festival". It's actually rather decent.

Reanimation was a waste of money putting it together......although I did like the "One Step Closer *Remix*" video they put together.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 3/30/2003, 10:11 am

Queens of the Stoneage are boring. I have seen them live and they just stood around and really bored the hell out of me. The only reason people know of them is that Dave Grohl drummed for them on tour for a while. Can you tell me that QOTS would be anything if not for Dave Grohl? Their songs and music aren't that amazing, and Dave Grohl happens to be the "hot commodity" of rock music today, so it's pretty obvious how QOTS got popularity.

You need to understand the difference between screaming and falsetto. Raine uses falsetto, and he sings words in a really high pitched voice. The Hives and The Vines just scream and people are supposed to guess if it's a word in the song or the singer just being lazy and throwing in a random scream.

Go ahead and not appreciate the White Stripes. It's not like they single-handedly brought back a genre of music single-handedly. The guy has more talent than any band out there today, excluding some jazz guitarists. You can't tell me anyone here can play those kind of guitar riffs on like a Les Paul or a Strat, and he plays it on some piece of shit $50 guitar he bought from a Sears department store.

Whatever though, go ahead and appreciate horrid music, I don't mind.

clumsybuffy · Post by **clumsybuffy** » 3/30/2003, 3:18 pm

actually (Im gonna get flammed for this) I dont care for Dave Grohl or the foo fighters and I have freids that have been listening to them for a long assed time.

The Raine comment was a just a joke. I love Raine's Falsetto. I was just being mean lol. One of the reasons I love olp as much as I do is because of is acrobats in singing. I do believe that OLP has 3000X the talent of the 'the' bands

I love LP and Taproot. Neither are horrid music.

Honestly I don't care (right now anyway) what people think of Reanimation. I boughtmine for 12 bucks and got another version free from the fan club. I enjoyed it alot. I don't like remix cds but this one was pretty decient. There were a couple songs I didnt like but on the hole I iked them. LP wanted a chance to work will al these underground people and make something they've been wanting to do for a long time. It really only involved 2 members.

the one step closer remix is cool but check out the Pushing me away one with Stephen of Tapoot. its awsome.

and Im sorry but I will just never like the white stripes. I told you why. I cant get past his voice and the music hasn't appealed to me. *shrug* Difference of opinion.

But the thing is is that even if you don't get meaning from LP or Taproot or whatever doesn't mean I don't. It doesn't mean lots more people dont.

Im sorry I said that white stripes were shit cos they aren't. You get meaning from them so obviously they aren't.
