Some Artists Reacting to Linkin Park's New Era
- Noodles, guitarist of The Offspring
Regarding the inclusion of Emily Armstrong, known for her work in Dead Sara, Noodles was emphatic:
"I think it was a bold and fantastic choice. Some people might resist the idea of a female vocalist for no reason, but Emily is incredible. Her voice is phenomenal."
He also highlighted his admiration for the artist:
"We’ve toured with Dead Sara, so I know how talented she is."
The musician wished the new lineup of Linkin Park success:
"I hope they’re as successful as before with Emily. They’re great guys who make excellent music."
- Gene Simmons, vocalist and bassist of KISS
"I’ve listened, watched some videos. The new singer is great, she fits the band. She sounds amazing, and good luck to them. Life is short. Go out, live intensely, enjoy it. Linkin Park has fans who want to hear the music. Why not? There are bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, touring with barely any original members—or none at all. People just want to hear the songs. I love that they chose Emily! They broke the rules! Rock n’ roll isn’t supposed to have rules."
"If they go on tour, the real answer is: 'For the people, by the people, with the people.' It doesn’t matter what the Internet says, or what those 'thousands' of loud voices are barking about—the smallest dog barks the loudest. The silent majority—the people who make things happen—buy tickets. If they sell a lot of tickets, and Linkin Park will, it’s the audience speaking. End of story. They’ll do great."
- Jacoby Shaddix, vocalist of Papa Roach
Shaddix reflected on the polarization surrounding bands continuing after losing a key member. He cited the example of Stone Temple Pilots, which had Chester Bennington as a replacement after Scott Weiland’s death:
"Chester carried the rock and roll flag. So it makes sense for someone to take that role in the absence of a vocalist," he said. For Jacoby, it’s about bringing a message of hope to the audience.
- M. Shadows, vocalist of Avenged Sevenfold
"I’m so happy for my friends in Linkin Park. Welcome back."
- Korey Cooper, guitarist of Skillet
One of my fav rock albums of all time is hybrid theory. The ability to stay in the game for this many years and still be cranking out hits is no easy feat. And of course putting yourself out there & taking the necessary risks to keep relevant gets you as much venom as it does cheers…but hopefully the songs still resonate..and are packaged in the right “clothes” to pack a punch. I love this album. It’s on repeat. Great songs. Genius production. Genius move to get Emily Armstrong..and @colinbrittain . Nostalgia and cutting edge. That’s my 2 cents. Rock fans go give it a listen.
- Cristina Scabbia, vocalist of Lacuna Coil
"All the best for this new chapter đź–¤"
- William Ryan Key, vocalist of Yellowcard
"So stoked for you, and amazing job Emily!"
- Phil Manansala, guitarist of Of Mice & Men
"Amazing job! Love the new vibe and sound thank you em and LP! So happy your back!"
- Alissa White-Gluz, vocalist of Arch Enemy
"Already addicted to this. Cannot wait for the new album!!!"
- Nonpoint
"Much love to you all. Been a long since we have seen you all."
- Grey Daze (Chester Bennington’s former band)
"Congratulations to @linkinpark for continuing their music. Much love and success."
- Eloy Cassagrande, drummer of Slipknot
- Oliver Sykes, vocalist of Bring Me the Horizon
- Courtney LaPlante, vocalist of Spiritbox
"What’s clear is that Linkin Park have crafted both an earnest tribute to their own legacy and a genuinely great album worthy of their canon. The future suddenly looks brighter."
