We saw the Linkin Park countdown and then counted up. And now we are waiting for a Linkin Park special event on YouTube This Thursday.
The event will take place at 6pm EST on Youtube Thursday. More waiting , I know, but at least we know something is definitely coming. Or at least we think!
I was hoping that Linkin Park would be announcing either a tour with rotating vocalists or maybe even an album of new music starring guest vocalists throughout the album. I thought that would be something really fun and not take away from Chester Bennington’s legacy.
A tour would be fun to see the rest of the band. They are super talented and play so well live. I thought it’d be cool to have a tour with revolving singers at different locations or something like that. An album of new music would be tremendous as well, however instead of announcing one new singer, I thought they could just have different guests on each track.
What makes Linkin Park so special is their ability to craft songs that are all over the map sound and no two songs sound alike. There’s always a unique spin and they could go from ballad to in-your-face, loud, and heavy guitars in a matter of minutes. But of course, to me, the band was and always will be Chester Bennington. His voice was so extraordinary. He went from melodic, soft singing to near screams in just seconds. And live, he always sounded flawless.
The Linkin Park sound couldn’t be defined. It had elements of hip hop sure, but it was straight-up hard rock at moments – trippy, experimental tribal anthem the next. You really got a good mix that was so interesting!
