Rumour: Linkin Park Reforming With Female Lead Singer

[thechase]

Orgy's Jay Gordon caused a stir centred around a Linkin Park comeback on Saturday when he mentioned in an interview that the band now had a new lead singer, who is female. Gordon has since backtracked, but LP themselves will not confirm/deny

A thousand angry YouTube videos are already being recorded.

I don’t think any reunion really works without Chester, but I wish them the best. No harm in trying.

[Deleted]

Only issue is calling themselves Linkin Park.

without Chester it just isn't.

[Zone Was Wrong]

I'm mixed, Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands of all time and a chance to see them perform again, even without Chester, would be nice. But yeah, without Chester it would be very bittersweet. His death still hits hard to me after all these years.

I dunno...if it were Amy Lee, it'd actually make sense out of all those videos they mislabel "Evanescence (with Linkin Park)-Bring Me To Life"

That shit makes me laugh and infuriates me as a huge fan of hers.

And then there are ones that have her with Eminem....Eminem would never be caught dead trying to duet Lithium like WTF yall doin lol

Yeah. I'm happy they still wanna make music, but Chester was such a big part of Linkin Park. Call it something else and I'm sold. Like Parkin Link or whatever.

[Cyno]

I still miss Chester, but I'll give a new singer a shot. Just as long as Mike is still there, too.

Maybe they should change the band name. Like Audioslave being all of Rage Against the Machine except replacing Zack with Chris Cornell.

I'm curious, if Static X could continue without Wayne and still make good music it's possible

I can’t express how often I think we didn’t know what we had with Chester’s voice. Or maybe we did. It was so angelic and vulnerable but filled with the opposite.

Huge LP fan. Completely open to it. I’d be lying if I said I had a lot of hope in it but why not?

Call it on eof their original concept names: Hybrid Threoy or Xero or something,

[hassanchop]

They should rename themselves Blinkin Park

Like I couldn't see anyone ever replacing Layne in Alice in Chains after he died. But William Duvall is damn good in his own right.

Layne Staley and Bon Scott were the 2 guys I thought of with unique voices that were successfully replaced after dying.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Chester is actually family in a Spaceballs "absolutely nothing" sort of way, as my wife's not particularly close cousin is his ex. (not sure if wife or just serious girlfriend. definitely had kids at least.)

My wife told me after our wedding, and said we probably could have got them to play at the wedding.

LIKE NOW YOU TELL ME?!



I'll definitely give them a listen. They don't make my playlist much anymore but it seemed like EVERYONE owned Hybrid Theory.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

LP was one of those bands that I either loved their stuff or thought it was kinda lame. I will admit that I didn't appreciate Chester's voice until he died, now I think his voice was amazing.

And they should get Cher to be the new lead singer. Tell me you wouldn't tune into see Cher singing 'One Step Closer'.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I mean their big tribute to Chester's life releasing the "Lost" soundtrack had a music video that was made with AI, so I'm not too shocked they're gonna try and run the legacy into the ground

I wish the new lead singer the best though

Those first two Orgy albums rule.
