I was just wondering how others came to liking linkin park. I didn't really like them at first, and was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. Now i am quickly approaching 'die hard' since i started to really give them a chance over the past couple of months!
i have liked LP since i herd OSC on the radio way back in 2001 and i went out to get their album straight away. however there is already a forum like this so it might get moved :wth:
At first when i heard Crawling i hated LP. God knows why though cuz Crawling is an amazing song. I used to have really bad taste in music though i suppose. But when i heard OSC i asked my parents to buy me HT for Christmas 2001. I have been hooked ever since.....
I started liking LP when my cousin showed me the video for 'In The End' on her computer, but I really started liking them during the era of 'Somewhere I Belong'.
I heard OSC and In the end and thought it was ok, not extraordinary but when I saw Crawling for the first time I really began to dislike them! Man, I simply hated that song you have no idea! I rediscovered them last January when one of my friend told me he was going to their concert and later I bought Meteora and since then I really like them.... and weirdly Crawling has become one of my favourite song.
When I first heard "One Step Closer" I liked Linkin Park right away. When Chester screamed the shut up parts, I knew I was going to like this band.
I pretty much liked them from the start.... it just took me a long time to admit it to anyone. I'm stupid that way.
heh that's kinda how it happened with me ! didn't want to admit it now i am posting on here all day...
I hated LP with a firey passion but then ITE kinda softened me up and when my friend burned Papercut onto a CD for me I was hooked. I've loved em ever since
I liked Linkin Park when I first heard My December, I thought it was pretty original for it's kind. So I tried Napster searches to find more MP3s and ended up falling in love with them. Bought the albums a few weeks later, and have been a fan ever since.
Well... I heard a lot of their stuff at football games and such in high school, and I liked it. Then all of a sudden EVERYONE started to listen to In The End and I hated the song with a passion since everyone liked it (I guess I just have this thing where I hate music that everyone likes). But then, my friend gave me a copy of Meteora and I fell in love and I have liked LP since!
My dad works for a college that gets exclusive EP's of a lot of bands to play on college radio, and one day a few years ago I was there and they played And One (this is before they made Hybrid Theory) and I liked it. Time passed, i forgot about it. Then I hear OSC and suddenly I remember. Got HT, and the rest is history.
I thought One Step Closer was ok, but kind of lame. Then Crawling came out and I got to hear the rest of the album. I wasnt hooked until Reanimation though.
Very first song I head from Linkin Park was "A Cure For The Itch". I loved that song a lot back then. And I remember my friend showing me how cool it was when Papercut went right into One Step Closer. We played the end of Papercut all day long so we could hear it go itno One Step Closer. We loved it! Those were the only songs I heard. Then one day I heard A Place For My head and fell inlove with the band and asked him if I could burn a copy of his CD. Then I discovered Crawling...which was my favorite song at that time. Ever since then I've been a die hard fan waiting for new LP songs!
When I first heard LP, it was OSC, I thought it was OK... Then when I heard Crawling,WOW! And ever since, Ive been a huge LP fan, and this is where I am now.
