Linkin Park To Premiere The New Song "New Divide" On May 18th
Linkin Park has issued the following update about the song "New Divide" premiering on May 18th and being used in the upcoming Transformers movie:
"Linkin Park's new song is called 'New Divide' and is the theme song for the upcoming movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The song will premiere on radio worldwide on May 18 and will also be available for download on iTunes that same day! In addition to writing the theme song for the movie, Linkin Park are contributing to the score of the movie. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens in the theaters on June 24.
"The opportunity to be creatively involved with one of the most anticipated films of the summer is pretty exciting. It's one thing to shoot a video that matches sound and vision, but making music that's built for the big screen is a completely different challenge and we ran with it."

Posting news about bands like this is really the best part of my day, as I know our fabulous crew of regulars will rally together to antagonize the band's fans and mock all the folks out there who haven't figured out how to spell or use a caps lock key. Keep it up folks!

Again...it doesn't matter if you like them or not; this isn't the place for this kind of post. Metal heads come to this site to get a dose of metal and to get away from all the other crap that is all too prevalent throughout the rest of mainstream society. It's almost like turning to a Hip-hop station and hearing news about Madonna's new album. They probably don't care. Headbanger's ball does this crap, too. Every commercial break (way to many of them anyway) they show an ad for gangster rap albums. I just wanna scream at the TV, "I DON'T GIVE A S^^T!!" Advertise this crap somewhere where it belongs. Which, I am sorry to say, is not here.

I do not understand something plz explain... :
The f***ing title says that its about Linkin Park if you so like you tell, hate them why the f*** you come here and post the f***ing hate comments.....
I always liked LP music, terminator the radio is wrong they are not thrush they are nu-metal.
Do not attack me for what i said but media sometimes go wrong.... Even MTV said that Slipknot is Death Metal ... LOL !!!
The thing with all you haters that i do not understand is that you have to respect the other peoples opinion about music.
I like Slipknot,LP,korn,disturbed,soad,kse that the most people hate...
I don't like megadeth cause of mustaines voise... but i am not going to start flaming the band cause i respect the people who listen them.
Think what i said... and calm down... if you do not like the topic do not read it...

That's all I'm saying, ya know. By the way, this site fu*king rules. Thanks for all the real metal news. Sorry if I came down hard on you on this one, it just creeped me out, lol. It's like when you pull up to a traffic light and are forced to listen to second-hand rap for 2 mins.

I have a LP story. My little brother was on their crew (he's a sound engineer) a few years back. The bass player wears ear phones on stage (I guess to look like a douche?) and complained to the tour management about his monitor sound at a show. My brother pointed out (at the following days sound check) that if he used the custom ear pieces like the rest of the band he wouldn't have problems hearing himself on stage. He also added how rediculous the guy looks with the ear phones on in front of his band mates who continued to rib him for it for about a week. Finally, fed up with the ribbing from his band mates he confronted my brother at dinner one night. My brother promptly handed him his a$$ in one punch to the nose and sat back down to finish his dinner before booking his flight out of Dallas and off the tour.

I just want to say, I like Linkin Park. I everything ranging from metal, to rap, to classical. Those who are trashing LP and the excessive use of expletives are showing how closed-minded they are to anything other than metal. As much as I like metal, some of it is total crap. To believe any one genre of music is better than another is ludicrous. As for whether they belong on the site, who cares? It is a general update for the people who mainly listen to metal, but also have a softer side and may choose to listen to LP. Enjoy the fact that there are people far more accepting than you, because if some of you people are this closed-minded in your other aspects of life, you make this world a worse place than it need be.

Ahhhh....linkin park. proof that any succesful rock band eventually evolves into U2. I'm just waiting for Nickelback to make the leap.

I'm sure there's at least one thing that I can agree with all of you metal fans on. Linkin Park doesn't belong on this website. Whoever decided to post this was an idiot. Linkin Park has never been metal and never will be. Not even close. Not even close to the "nu metal" label which I'm sure plenty of you would still use to define them even now. As some of the comments on this post have indicated, most people who go to this site on a regular basis are probably too blind to see any music that actually has artistic beauty or talent in it. And I'm not just talking about Linkin Park. I'm talking about anything besides metal or something similar. The poster had the wrong audience in mind when he posted this. I guess he thought that he was sharing information with people who actually knew something about musical talent.

to all the people making a big deal about this-it's FUN to make fun of sh!t bands like this. Just look at the a7x threads. why are there so many posts? 'cause we don't give a sh!t about them and use them for chatrooms. then we laugh at the trolls...and they're not really all that talented, anyway. Just compare them to Obscura, and you'll see what I mean

WTF, I think there's some alternative metal stuff in LP. Whatever, some of their music is easy, like guys in here say, but good music don't have to be so complicated, full of guitar solos, like many crap bands and fans think. Sell Outs? I doubt that, many say it because of the last album, no man, their best selling album is Hybrid Theory, the first one, if you get the point. LP is a great band, comercial, I know, but that just means that most people like them, because of the variety of their sound. So, this news could be here, on a Hip Hop site, or a rock site. Yes, even on pop news.

Your a feel to think Linkin Park is metal, seriously... It hurts to say they are more than... Soft-rock or something of the sort.
Who would be "judging linkin park to quickly"? They've been around long enough, put out enough singles and music videos for us all to know exactely what they are about.

This thread has gone to hell in a hand basket. I have no idea what post#81 was trying to say, but the poster failed miserably in communicating and thus has no opinion. Post #84 appears to be on the same wavelength so possibly they understand eachother? Either way, I can't be bothered to decide what they have to say if anything.

I have to agree that this should not be posted in a metal site. It doesn't belong here.
Linkin Park is definitely NOT metal...Not in any way, shape, or form.
With that said...THANK GOD!!! (because the crap you guys call metal is truly garbage).
So I'll just continue to listen to my Linkin Park songs...and you guys can continue to listen to your Lamb of God (while you mutilate kittens, or rape your little sister, or whatever it is you metal-heads do for fun).

Awww man Guns, you figured out my day schedule. I was going to mutilate my cat while raping my little sister which I don't have. Then I was going to drink their blood. I think on the way I'll suck some guy's soul out of his body through his c***. Yea, sounds like a good day plan! Thanks for helping me out, Guns.

I was planning on shooting a hooker and doing lines of cocaine off my baby-momma's pregnant stomach while liestening to lil'wayne, and then afterwards robbing a liquor store so i can buy my grill so i can look just like DJ Khaled, but I just heard lamb of god the other day, and now all I want to do is shove a shotgun up my baby-momma's a$$hole and blow the baby out, and then eat its remains while growling the words "hail SATAN!" and bathing in my drug-dealer's blood after I stabbed his eyes out with a cross.
Metal has really changed my life for the better I think. Now, instead of being one incredibly wrong musical association sterotype that isnt true at all, I can be another!
Ignorance is bliss, but stupid is dangerous. Shut the f*** up guns.

little disappointed that they created this vibe about an online premiere and they didn't even bother doing a live performance or at least say hello -blah blah- before the song started. I can get the song anytime I want, but can't see them live all the time....other than that the song is pretty good.

I love metal, and Linkin Park... They mix genres,theyre not no crybaby emo, or gay voiced thrash, or hate everything hardcore, or kill everyone death metal... Theyre just Linkin Park. and there cool but I still love A sh**load of genres of METAL.... f*** Rap/Hiphop, f*** Country, f*** Pop... Oh Yeah "Hail Satan"....

LOL! People tryin to be tough on the internet. If you think, or let's say know that LP doesn't deserve to be here, then don't be a b**ch about it and comment sh*t about it. If you don't want them here then tell the admins or whatever they're called. Tell em that LP aren't supposed to be here. Like these people can do anything about it.

Post 28----- deathbringer, maybe you need a
'bands that probably shouldn't be here" section. While I agree, LP probably shouldn't be on this site, I am enjoying reading the witty comments both pro and con. (mostly con LOL). 140 + comments lead me to believe I'm not the only one.
NP Linkin Park...JUST KIDDING

Listen, there are some pretty sh**ty metal bands too, just because there's a guitar solo and some screaming that sounds like there is something caught in their throat doesn't make a band good. I agree, that Linkin Park probably shouldn't be on this site, although many of their songs, including a couple from M2M have some metal in them. I will admit, that I'm a fan of LP. I also like some metal. Not heavy metal though (limited amounts anyway) I like every genre of music but country, and of course emo crap. Whether or not they are a metal band is debatable, but they do have quite a bit of talent. You can feel some heart in most of their songs. I'm not going to bash anyone's views... but I have to say that, I personally think they are a good band, and whether or not they belong on the site, like I said is debatable. Anyway, I'm getting off soon so I'll rap it up. I enjoyed their old stuff better, but the new sound just proves that they can think outside of just one genre, which most bands can't do. Almost every single band sounds almost the same in every song. When you find the exceptions, that is where you find the good bands from the bad bands. Every band is capable of good music, it takes some talent just to play instruments in sync and in the right tunes. It is whether they DO make good music that sets them apart, I know the next person below me is just going to bash Linkin Park again, or some idiot is going to say "DON SAYYY NUTIN BD BOUT LINKIN PARK CUZ THEY FU** YOU FACE WIT COOL MOOSIK" I will admit I'm a little biased because I am a fan, but just think about it next time. They really aren't that bad, metal or not. There is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR worse out there.

"Listen, there are some pretty sh**ty metal bands too, just because there's a guitar solo and some screaming... [etc. more abusing]" - please don't come here and abuse metal through faceless stereotype bands. I mean you are free to abuse metal, just have an actual example or else we all automatically assume you have no idea what you're talking about.
"Whether or not they are a metal band is debatable" - No not really.
153. writes:
I dunno. That "What I've Done" song is played constantly over here and that sounds like whiny little b**** music to me. Plus it's on way too often and I'm sick to bloody death of Linkin Park. I've got friends that like Linkin Park so I'm not calling all their fans idiots, but the hardcore Linkin Park fan is more than often a narrow minded retard.

linkin park is the greatest band ever!!! i relate so much to there music and no i'm not emo or goth i'm just me and that's all i am. there music really hits my heart and makes me think of the things that are going on in my life. i love that band! they will forever be my favorite band and i can't wait to go get their new cd this weekend :)

^no, they came out around the same time as nu-metal hit the scene, thus the common mistake of associating the two. Linkin park is rap-rock.
the difference is subtle, but detectable to someone who has the mental fortitude to restrain themselves form using the word "RULEZ".
