Davkaus Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I can't even imagine how many times I listened to Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Haven't listened to anything they've put out in years, but I still occasionally listen to the old ones when I'm feeling shit. He's spoken a lot about his mental health issues, as well as past trauma. Scary to think that someone could publicly cry out for help by openly saying they thought about suicide still couldn't get the help they needed.

leemond2008 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I've got to be honest I thought they had disappeared probably about 10 years ago, it was only when I went on a Chris Cornell binge on YouTube that it threw up a video of him singing with Linkin Park, I don't think I've heard of them since their 'Crawlin' days. That's not having a pop at them as a band, more at myself I suppose for being so out of touch. It's a **** shame regardless, when was the last time they had a 'hit' or 'big song' that I would know of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not have been the cause, but it was almost certainly the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Never a fan of LP either but 'Numb' would be quite high on my all-time favourite songs list. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted July 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2017 Like a few here, I doubt I could spot an LP track but it's still awful to hear that someone has ended themselves in such circumstances. A friend of a friend did it recently and the repercussions are huge for those left behind but to be in that position where you see no other way out must be the darkest place. There but for the grace of god and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes must have played a part, I was reading an article in the last week or 2 that their latest album got massively criticised by fans. I have no idea how big his input is into their songs but for a man that has had a history of issues he's had an awful lot to deal with recently if has been struggling.

Seat68 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Their last album was utterly poor, saw and enjoyed Linkin Park a few times and a few weeks back I drunkenly sang along with Crawling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember loving their new style of sound which started with minutes to midnight in 2007. They kind of tailed off a bit after that and their most recent newish album was a bit pap by all accounts.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Pudsey the dog from Britain's Got Talent. My life is pointless without him. But at least we've still got his movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not a massive fan of Linkin Park but do have Numb and In The End on a Spotify playlist. Feel sorry for his kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean loads of the stuff before that was rubbish too but it had something about it and there's a couple of gems (of their time, especially if you're 14 when you're listening) in there. After? ****. They appear to have become a really bad Coldplay knock-off by the end. "What I've done" wasn't recent, came out when I was still at Secondary School (I left in 2007). I still understand your point though. Regardless LP will always have the early days and were fantastic the two occasions I saw them live at Download. I believe they played Barclaycard arena just two weeks ago. Real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hellfest a few weeks back and had a special Hybrid Theory set at Download 2014. I was watching Status Quo at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I remember when they really took off. Not my cup of tea at all. Obviously these people are having serious issues to commit suicide. I just hope some vulnerable young people don't see it as glamorisation and think it's the thing to do. I cannot imagine how dark a place you are in to attempt suicide.

And it wasn't very good and appears it was downhill from there. But I do kinda line some stuff off the first 2 albums, and some of the remix stuff. Even if I acknowledge whilst liking it they're a bit crap. It's the embodiment of angst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Re: the Pennington/Cornell deaths...both a stark reminder that even when you've "got it all" or have attained "success", basic human fragility is still always lurking.
