The world will be a better place when their leer jet crashes. Vanilla Ice was the biggest in the world at one point too. No one is jealous of him. I think Linkin Park is one of those bands that people will admit (10 years from now) that they are embarrassed to listen to. Right now they're hot, but in ten years they will be about as timeless as Vanilla Ice. I don't care how many records they've sold. They suck. If we measured greatness purely on record sales, we would be doomed. Billy Ray Cyrus sold a lot of records too. I just think it's a waste to watch Andy Wallace mix such crap.

Their music is the same formula every time. They have like 10 guitars and 5 unison vocals going on during the chorus. Then they have some upper middle class white rapper talk about really positive cliche crap during the verse. He raps like he has gone through struggles or something. "Yeah, when I was younger I wanted a Benz, but my parents bought me a Honda instead. I have struggles yo." I never liked it when 311 did it. Linkin Park does it worse. The thing about the rapping that pisses me off the most is that it's in an insult to rap in general. Whether you like rap or not, we can all agree that it came from underpriveledged black neighborhoods and (like the blues) was about trying to make something out of nothing and promoted expression from the soul. When I hear the "rapper" in Linkin Park rap, I want to vomit. I want to punch them. I want to punch their fans even more. How do you egg on a turd? You actually buy Linkin Park records and are straight? Are you sure you can listen to a verse of a Linkin Park song, like it, and not make out with other men? Yes, I went there. Die hard Linkin Park fans suck. You actually keep that band is business simply by having no taste.
