Linkin Park.

This is the clincher for all of you haters/lovers of Linkin Park:

OK, so it's nu-metal music. So? People have different tastes in music- the idea for things in life is to keep an open mind. This applies to music too.

Some people listen to Slipknot. That's fine by me, if they like it, let them listen to it. Some people listen to Nickelback. OK, if that's their cup of tea, more power to them.

I don't quite frankly care if I get bashed for saying this: Linkin Park are musicians. They all know how to manage their instruments, and they can get a decent sound out of them. Don't you dare tell me that Joseph Hahn cannot DJ, he can turntable and use his computer skills exquisitely, and don't you dare tell me Brad Delson is a "guitard", he can shape chords even if they're not the most complex.

The vocal styling for Linkin Park is undoubedly generic nu-metal, but so what? What distincts them from other nu-metal acts are the people who are doing it. There is not going to be another Shinoda or Bennington, period. They are the only ones with their kind of vocal tone.

To the haters, I'm getting the vibe from your flames, bashing, unconstructive criticism, and full-out spam that you are all simply immature 5th graders that have nothing better to do than:

A)Jump on the bandwagon and insult a musically capable band just because everyone else is...

B)Fill a site up with pointless remarks that I can HARDLY DEFINE AS A _DEFINITION_.

If you are older than 10, I feel sorry for you. Your sloppy typing makes people recieve a bad reflection of you, but that's a different story.

You can't go and tell people "Oh, LP sucks, go listen to some <band>" What they listen to is their preference, not yours. Keep an open mind about things in the future.

Because, didn't your elders tell you "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?" Those were one of the best life lessons I've learned, and I took it to heart. So should you. But if your brain is just too weak to process this information, I suggest you go back to school and go learn something from your local pastor.

Bands that are currently being bashed around the online community:

Linkin Park.
Limp Bizkit.
Nickelback.
Slipknot.
Fall Out Boy.
Hawthorne Heights.

They all do one thing or another, but they're still musicians. Remember that.
