CitizenVectron Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 They announced it with a livestreamed concert. I have to say, she carries Chester's parts very well, especially the screaming. I am interested to see where they go with her. Numb live: New album Nov 15 called From Zero. Here is a song from it: Linkin Park Reunite With New Music and Singer, Seven Years After Chester Bennington’s Death WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM The rock band, which now includes singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, also announced their new album 'From Zero.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently she was at the initial hearing for Danny Masterson's trial. Yikes. I am hoping that she has since disavowed both Masterson and Scientology...though I am doubtful. It's entirely possible to be in a cult and then later regret it and leave. However, assuming she is still a Scientologist, that is a crazy bad look for Linkin Park to have their leader single kill himself after a long struggle with mental illness, only to then replace him with someone who doesn't even believe in psychiatry/psychology.

Spork3245 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It's weird when bands get new singers that sound absolutely nothing like their previous/deceased singer. It's not that hard to find someone who can do the songs justice. Queen pulls the same BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course none of that matters with Linkin Park. 1 hour ago, CitizenVectron said: Yeah, just read more on this. Apparently she was at the initial hearing for Danny Masterson's trial. Yikes.

TwinIon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The rendition of Numb in the OP is not a great advertisement for the new band's ability to do their old stuff. I agree with @Spork3245 it sounds like a mediocre cover band. That doesn't really affect the quality of any new music though. Hopefully they find a sound that works.

Queen tours with Adam Lambert and it's f'n awful. Who actually wants to pay those ticket prices for what amounts to a cover band?

Sorry I misread, probably because I was also looking around the same time you posted and saw something similar about mixing, but that mix included Freddie. E.g., here. Relevant bit: Quote Rami himself has revealed that he is lip-syncing, but it's not just Freddie's voice that we hear. "It is an amalgamation of a few voices," he told the Metro US. "But predominantly it is my hope and the hope of everyone that we will hear as much Freddie as possible. I think that is the goal for all of us."

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 They sound like a Linkin Park cover band now. Albeit a good one. It will be interesting since Chester Bennington wrote a lot of their songs and his voice is such a huge part of band’s identity. hearing both songs doesn’t make me think “Linkin Park is back”.

It's not like Chester Bennington was some kind of iconic vocalist. Replace legendary ass with new ass. In the end it doesn't really matter. In any case glad this conversation ended up talking about Queen instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 When she is singing, she sounds ok. When she tries to scream, her voice strains so much that its nails on a chalkboard to me. I am not typically a fan of a singer being replaced in a band. When Tom left Blink, I was out. Couldn’t get into any of it without him. When Tom rejoined, man it felt so good. Went to see them live and like their new album. Good luck to LP. Hope it works out for them and their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I don't really care for her version of their songs, but whatever I guess, Lincoln Park wasn't ever a favorite of mine so I'm not too upset. I think this is one of those cases where they should have just renamed the band but still occasionally play some LP songs. Like Audioslave did with Rage Against the Machine.
