drol 10,048 Posted July 20, 2017 Did not know him but at first glance he seems a drug addict imbecil who had the luck to sing quite well. Just heard something of him) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 10,048 Posted July 20, 2017 Sincerely, Linkin Park is one of those groups I often heard of, but I never listened a single song of them. And this Bennington, whose name I heard for the first time this evening, seems a complete dick. Did not want to offend Linkin Whatsoever fans, though.

Dunno how it was in Italy, but I couldn't avoid constantly listening to them in their heyday cause both radios and music TV channels (yes, they were a thing back then) were playing them ad nauseam (especially "Numb"). Repetitive choruses, shallow lyrics, cheap, poppy & "radio friendly" nu metal (NB = not metal). I guess their songs weren't that offensive but I hated them cause I had to listen to them way more often than I wanted to. Anyways, it's still quite a shock, he was much too young and I'm sorry for the six kids he left behind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,365 Posted July 20, 2017 My knowledge of LP's music consists of the "CRAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIN, THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL" line gaining a second life via Internet jokes... and that's pretty much it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,226 Posted July 20, 2017 I wasn't a fan, but at least they were better than the alternative bands I was forced to like out of peer pressure. Offspring, Blink182, Sum41. At that time I heavily listened to Nine Inch Nails and also Marilyn Mansion and the like. For a while, it looked like Linkin Park took Inspiration from them but then they turned awfully ordinary.
