Rate Linkin Park on a "hardness" scale

[Glenn]

I used to think that LP were very hard, but I've now heard stuff like slipknot and Ill Nino that are harder than LP. How hard do u view LP's music to be? I'd think around 6

well since i havent really herd to many other heavy metal bands i'd say 8

[Ander]

4.

[Sylar]

3 because linkin park isnt hard at all anymore

[ryanlp2004]

heh, even slipknot arent hard if you look at some heavy metal bands. In that case i'd give them a 3 or 4.

[Mechanical Christ]

9.5

[Dots]

If Sepultura is 10 --> Linkin Park is 4 :rawk:

[Glenn]

woah, didn't know people would rate it as low as 3

[Mark]

6. The riffs are crunching, I'll admit it. But there's no complexity. I got an acoustic guitar a few nights ago and just by doing ear training, I picked out and duplicated a few progressions. And I don't even know what names the strings are or the numbers of the frets!

[K1mm33]

Well, I don't believe they're "hard" at all. They're talented artists but not "hard-core". I don't think its a bad thing though, I've seen some pretty hard core bands who play some pretty awful music.

[Willstar]

Four.

[Doctor Manhattan]

One.

I listen to the likes of Cradle Of Filth, OTEP, Nine Inch Nails, etc. They're nothing in terms of 'hardness'.

And wow, that seems majorly perverted. Why didn't you use heaviness? Hardness? WTF.

I was thinking that, but I honestly didn't want to post it. :lol:

[Andrea]

4.5


I would love to see them get heavier with their music.

as would i. Im getting into heavier and heavier music it seems and im definately liking LP less and less as time goes on, if they get heavier with their next album or at least more complex, it'd restore my faith in the band

[Tomi]

in terms of heaviness; 4.5

hope their new album is heavier.

Well done Mark. :D

I'd probably give them a 6 as well. Meteora didn't quite meet the bar set by Hybrid Theory.

:lol: Talented :lol:
*Wipes tear.*

No, no. I love LP, but really as one they aren't talented. Actually, no I take that back. They could be talented, but they are lazy.

LP was my favorite band until I heard Mudvayne, A Perfect Circle, As I Lay Dying, Chimaira..etc, still I love them. Meteora sucked though, and was much softer.

So heavyness around H.T.: 7/10
Heavyness around Meteora: 3/10

[Dan]

i'd give them a 6.5

[Amy]

Probably about a 3...

Maybe you're just musically talented. :lol:

5

[Leslie]

I guess I would have to say that they are a 4.5... not all that heavy after I have heard other bands such as Ill Nino, etc.

[Atsuzen]

Maybe a 4 or 5. They're not that heavy compared to other heavy metal bands who really :rawk: hard.

[Trish]

I think two...

I listen to alot music from different genres and the heaviness is different in most of them. I know they are WAY more heavier bands than Linkin Park. I like my heavy music and LP are as low as I go.

i would give them 4.5.But I aggree with you Mark.Linkin Park's guitarist(Brad) is one of the worst[No offence]I mean in songs like numb the guitar work is very shoddy.They have to improve on their guitar work.Sacking Don gilmore would help though as I feel he interferes a bit too much in their music.

[lp_dreamer]

well hybrid theory id give a 7 but i think there going downhill in there heavyness unfortunatly if they are using breaking the habit as a model for creativity for there next album i predict about a 3-4 for there next album :(

[erasethepain]

I give them a 2 because they aren't the softest, but they are nowhere near being the heaviest band out there.

Heavy Metal = Sepultra's "Arise"

they think that LP is gonna make all their songs exactly like BTH...they dont get it lol

[ella1432]

I'd say that with all their albums combined, 4/10. I used to think they were quite hard sounding until i grew up a bit :D

I think Linkin Park leads everyone into a more heavy direction. I started with Linkin Park, and then they wree heavy (to me.). Then. I saw all of these Newer bands that not many people around here have heard of .. So to the newbies. They're heavy (most likely) to the veteran-like fans.. they're nothing. Everyone has their own views; but I'm sure thats what this post was for. To me? Maybe a 3 or 4.... 3½

[~*Numb*~]

i would have to say a 6 probably because personally i really don't think they're music was meant to be "hardcore" in the first place they are however considered the "metal rappers" but they aren't very "metal" they just rock... and i hope none of u meant any of your rating in a mean way cause htat is so... hurtful... :(
but you know if not then :rawk:

They and Creed did that for me believe it or not.

[Anya]

During concerts they're really heavy (not to mention fun to mosh to. Moshing is my expertise lmao jk.) But i've heard other music like Converge and Lamb of God who are much much heavier. I'd give them an eight I suppose.

[Stick N move]

I think an 8. it is hardrock, metal or somthing like that. and when you take a look to ashanti n stuff like that....

[Chris Luke]

Linkin Park is more based on there Lyrics more then there hardness. But i'd rate them a 3.

[Willstar]

By your logic, you just said that Christina Aguilera is as heavy as Disturbed.

no I didn't, did I?
I don't know disturbed, but there are a lot of other popstars and bands who isn't as heavy as LP. so overall, I'll give them an 8

[Crawler]

5...maybe.
I think it´s just a great mix of everything. So I don´t care how hard they are..

[Mcnasty]

Six.

[Branden]

Seven. From the Live tracks and things I've heard, they seem very hard. But on their actual CD's they're not as hard.

[rebirth03reborn]

For me,I'd say 6 .. :rawk: ...some ppl say their songs are quite softy...that's why some (or most) LP haters mock em for bein' kiddies band,or girlies band. Who cares..as long as they make good music,aight...?

[DTF]

I've listened to Opeth from time to time, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Poison the Well. But if it weren't for LP, I would never have listened to bands like Metallica, Dream Theater, Deftones, Tool, etc. All those bands are heavier in some ways, either instrumentally or vocally. I still give LP a 5.5 to a 6. I still dig their heavier bridges

[ryanlp2004]

They are alot hardder in concert, like all the extra screams and stuff. Id give them like a 5 in concert.

[RathX90]

Linkind Park wasnt really meant to be heard so "hard"
I would give them hmm.... around 6/10

[eugene]

:mike: mayb i huvn't heard any harder so i think it's 8~9

[User Name]

Go listen to some Project 86. Thgat should lead you into some other awesome hard bands. Linkin Park pales in comparison to some of the bands I've heard.

[Aplace_4_MyHead]

Britney spears being one and slipknot being ten. i"d say about an eight

[|2awk.Star]

When you think about ALL of music... stuff like Death Metal and Thrash Metal and other genres like that.... Linkin Park is like a 5 or 4. They're loud... but not that hard.

[Joe]

I'd give LP about a 5 on the "Rockter-scale".

[Ppr:Kut]

3. I listened heavier stuff on "laneth"...

[Glenn]

hell yeah! new word! (w00t) Rockter-scale

[Arhaz]

out of ten, a seven and half...

and i love seven and half...
anything lower is pop for me....and anything more would would be alright, and beyond 9 will kill me... :lol:

[MariosLP]

I think around 7 but i want more

[Linkin_Park_Diva]

I would give 'em a 5.

But believe me, Slipknot isn't the band Linkin Park should be measured up to.

[Adam]

LP arent that heavy instrumentally its just chesters vocals so Im gonna give them 6/10

[Habit_ Breaker_Vic]

i would say that on the "Hardness" scale LP is like around 7.5 out of 10.
they're not always 100%heavy. :chaz: :mike: :joe: :brad: :phoenix: :rob:

Welcome to the boards :P Dont use the smileys alot, it makes you look... weird :lol:

[Habit_ Breaker_Vic]

whoops my bad. sorry ^_^'

[Jae]

I would say 6. They're not too hard, and not too soft.

[wise]

I would give them about a 7... they're hard enough for me. Just the right amount to make them on the top of my faves band list.

yeah i agree with that a 6 seems right

[ass_kicker]

id give them a 7 i guess... only because i really like them. they deserve a 6.

[TheVoodoo]

3. but I dont like heavy music that much which is why I like LP and not bands like Slipknot.

[big bad fan]

i don't know.there are many heavier bands out there and thanks to lp,i know listen to their music...
right now,i'd give them a 4,5 (because of chester's vocals).
i hope they get heavier,though.

[Leeuwnie]

Because of Linkin Park I started listening to heavier bands. But I think they can be a little harder so I'll give them a 6... Although I have to agree that Meteora is a little softer. But I don't mean that in a negative way.

[Scotty]

Originally posted by SaxopianoGRD@Jun 2 2004, 01:22 AM
Ill Nino are harder than LP
WTF?!

I rate them at 4-6. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I would like LP to get heavier in their next album.

[Cheez]

I listen to Korn,Drowning Pool, Static-X, System of a Down and Disturbed. LP in my opinion isn't as hard as them but I concider them somewhat hard. Wouldn't mind if they got a bit heavier in their music but if not, I'll still love them. I'm gonna give them a 7.5 B)

[Jennster]

i think i'll give them 6.5 or 7
