Linkin Park Wins MTV's Viewer's Choice Video Music Award
After much vote whoring and begging, Linkin Park got enough votes to win MTV's Viewer's Choice award for 'Breaking The Habit'. The band said upon accepting the award:
"First of all, I'd like to thank Gonzo, who did the animation. Nakazawa, the animation director Rod McDermon, Chemoprofit, Jim Hawkinson, Jen Haas, and this is Matt. He's my partner, my producer, and helps me put it all together... A real quick thank you to all you guys that went out there at the last minute and were voting, and the rest of the band, we know you guys were out there watching... We have the best fans in the world. We love you guys out there. Thank you very much!"
Here's what they had to say in their newsletter:
On behalf of Linkin Park, I would like to personally thank all of our fans that voted for us for viewer\'s choice. This is a very important award for us because it was voted for by our people. For those of you who don't know, this was the most tedious video of ours to accomplish. The concept was inspired by our fans and it is a great honor for us to receive the love back. Once again, thank you. Joe Hahn and Linkin Park.

wonder how many of those 1 million people are high school pimply teenage boys and girls.....prevailing fashion trend and image have very short life cycles among this group, which is why LP won't be around for very long. In a few years time, they'll be blown over.

HE WILL...I mean come on he's GAY!!! And alot of people have horrible and bland music tastes nowadays. It's alot of simple riffs here and non-complex chords there so... This sh** like linkin park will keep popping up since over 90% of the youth population have sh**ty taste in music. So get used to seeing this mockery of music(especially ON MTV). I am an artist myself, and the "art" was Awsome, BUT, The song, the band, and the inspiration to write the song is all too familiar in the midst of song creation. Besides, there a$$holes. Rich snooty stuck bunch of characters that just need to either leave the music seen, or become experiemental with other things, but Never-the-less, are a$$holes if they can assume that the bands that played on ozzfest where not impressing. f*** YOU CHESTER YOU GAY fa**otY CHINK!!! (nothing against Chinks).

How can ever get past the cookie stage/? I like those white chocolate
chip cookies at Subway! And what song are you talking about Brad?
And to Stoned Darkane is good I've heard their music but I dont own
any of their cds. But they do play a good blend of Death and Thrash metal.
If you like effects you should listen to Aborym's Fire Walk With Us its a
trippy blend of Black Metal, Industrial and weird sound effects sung
by the ex-vocalist of Mayhem Attilla Csihar!

alot of bands were influenced by tool. and don't get me wrong, but, many bands were influenced by blues bands. i have a co-worker that was influenced by blues artist and he is a die-hard metal fan. blues bands like jimi hendrix, the beatles, the who, queen, and all of those other bands influenced bands today.
NO BLUES=NO METAL!!!!!!!!!!

i go to school and work dude. the worst of both worlds. Does anybody here either work at or ever worked at McDonald's. i like spitting in cops' food. my friend spooged on the floor and then put it on a cop's burger. but spitting is funner. Cops are stupid. it s funniest when they stay and you get to watch them. fun when your high and can't stop laughing. brad is right everything tastes good when your high.

For Satan's sake, how did this thread go from bagging the hell out of Stinkin Fart (which is good) to discussing cookies, donuts, and fast food in general (which is also good but not as entertaining and COMPLETELY IRRELIVENT!!)
However, Brad must be addressed as correct in his statement that anything tastes good when you're high, even air.
PS: FUKK POP AND RAP!!!

I know we are all going off topic, but the truth is that we all f**king hate stinking art. we just want to go off topic so that we can take our minds off of those traitors of LP.
Just to inform you, all fo the bands that are in the music business and are doing it for the money end up sucking goat d**k.
so I encourage everyone to make more irrelevant topics so that that so-called "nu-metal band" will be erased from our minds.
or better yet, let's all diride LP and laugh our a$$3$ off at that stupid a$$ band.
f**k LP. DISBAND LP IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THEY BECOME ASSASINATED!!!!!!!!!!!!

the voices in my head think your comments about my j and homework are funnier than my friend trying to fly. i missed all but one math problem too. i'm gonna flunk. but its cool. then i have more time to think of names for bands. Like Frink 182, or Kum 41(anybody know what kum is in Spanish?). or Korncob. that's stoopid. peace out.

nohin much holmes i just got off work and i am so f**ked up. I also love south park but i sm obsessed with anime. just like tekken the movie has never left my dvd player. and i never switch stations on my radio. everytime when my show goes to a commercial, i go down to music choice. LONG LIVE MUSIC CHOICE!!!

I'm sorry I have to comment. I find it really funny that you people seem to have nothing better to do than check out news on a band you don't like and then rant and rave about it, just seems like you need to give yourself a little ego boost. No Linkin Park isn't real metal, yes I like their music, I also like Opeth, Sepultura, and Tool.

for thase of you who didn't vote in the election, but were of age and didn't get off your a$$ to do so need to shut up. you had a chance to voice your opinion by voting.
KMADD, on the other hand took the offer and feels like he was, i don't know if betrayed is the right word but i'll use it anyway, betrayed because it didn't go his way. but hey at least you have a choice.

"Alternative Metal". Now whats fukking wrong with that statement? THE WHOLE FUKKING LOT, THATS WHAT!!
What genre does Tool fall into? Alternative Excrement!! And that pretty much sums up Tool as a whole.
And MarineChick, whats the point of voting when your country is fukked no matter who is in power!! The name of the president dosen't matter, they're all the same wanker in the end!! Tax hikes, war-mongering, empy promises, blow-jobs....the list goes on!!



181. writes:
You're probably not listening to all the Opeth you should be listening to. Yes they are slow, deep, and hard (Type O Rules), but on albums like Morning Rise & Still Life, they are heavy as hell, as well as songs off of Deliverance, and Blackwater Park. You can pretty much classify them as Death metal in away. I was always told that they were a death metal band, and I pretty much went with it, cuz I didn't know really what else to call them. Orchid & Damnation, and songs of off Blackwater Park made me wonder at one point in time why they were considered death metal too.

its called getting off your fat a$$ and making a difference in you country! maybe if you did something for the homeland, instead of complaining about how bad it will be, do something that will benefit you, the people around you, and your country.
lets see the word i'm looking for is "consiencsious"

Jager and Red Bull?!? Fukkin spew!! Straight Jim Beam all the way, boy! Oh, and beer!!
James Hetfield said it best: BEER GOOD!! Finally got my hands on a bottle of Crown Royal, which is hard to get in Australia, cost a bit too. Fukkin worth it though. Nothin beats a good shot of whiskey!!

Pehaps it might be easier to get a hold of some fine Irish whiskey over there in the land down under.
Jameson's and Tullamore Dew are seriously smooth whiskeys to sip on. Or do shots like I
usually do! Crown Royal and Canadian Club is good with a coke back with it!
