They could have had a girl or someone like in Crawling to do it. Not to mention, he was singing on a blanket. Oh well. Long Live Linkin Park.
Hahahah, exactly! You know, i used to get really angry with these people. A brazilian dummer said once that LP is a Backstreet Boys distortion and bands like LP, P.O.D are like the same vocal in different bands. I think they're envious. Not everybody like LP, but a lot of people do, and that's what really matters: the real fans.
I agree with most people here, backlash is all because they're mainstream. I know "die-hard" rock fans that turn on any band that gets top 40 airplay, and even some that get airplay on rock stations. Which to me, sounds selfish. It's like not wanting your bf/gf to do well in their career because you want them all to yourself. And I bet you a lot of the people on the MTV msg boards dissing LP at least somewhat like them....A bunch of people are prob. just agreeing with the group to try and fit in (CLONES! or clowns? hmmmm) Here's a comeback if anyone says to you "Linkin Park are a boy band!" Just say "Oh yeah, Nsync yell 'Shut up when I'm talking to you' at the top of their lungs all the time!"
