i read an interview with Proof (member of d12 and eminems best friend) and he says that cypress hill is gonna be on d12 album and LP on eminem's
the thing is that i am not so sure about if the interview real or not and if he was joking..or not
anyways my favorite song is points of authority remix

same school, friends in school, school mates lol.

Obviously you young folks don't know a whole lot about the issue. Guns N Roses wasnt silent for a long time, the band Guns N Roses, the true band disbanded in the early 90's. Axel Rose (lead singer) kept the title under copywright issues and started training a new crew to become the next Guns N Roses. The new cd coming out now is from that new band with Axel still at vocals. It is not the real guns n roses, nor will it ever be, the chemistry simply isnt there. Which is why im afraid that young ppl like gofik will believe that this is the real band and judge them accordingly, which is not the case..

On to something more on the topic at hand:

Ignorance is a powerful thing Adolph. The reason a lot of teens listen to LP is because their lyrics (thank you for posting an example) relate to them best, because they speak of pains suffered and what one must endure. As a teenager, you begin to experience new changes around you, begin to understand them but not fully and so in your wake of knowledge there are a lot of things that must happen for you to trully step into the adult world. This includes getting hurt, betrayed, etc. Bands like LP appeal to the youth because they reveal situations that so resemble what these teenagers have been through.

Also ..on that last part of your comment. Y'all want a single is a song by Korn not LP, obviously you have not bothered to read up much on the subject.

The only thing I will agree with you on is that newer bands today aren't as good as they used to be. But that is all, generalizing is a sad thing to do.

You sound like a complete tool, Anakin. They sure are all about the music. Just look at the person(s) that produced their albums that aren't in the band.

Their lyrics are the same ones I wrote in my journal when I was in the 8th grade feeling angsty. Congratulations to those that relate to them.

I'm well aware that's from a Korn song, I made that statement just before my other one stating today's bands are a joke. I'm also quite aware why the youth is so into them and bands like them.

It must be quite a challenge writing lyrics that identify with teenagers.

You guys are arguing over something totally trivial. You're diving into this guy's life like he's the biggest deal on the face of this Earth. I've only listened to one of his songs but I can safely say he's not. Actz mentioned something about bling bling (cringe, I can't stand this newage word), cars and girls and how if you listen to the underground tracks it's much better. Well this cd may be better but it's by the same guy right, so it doesn't really matter.

One other thing I'm confused about and it's directed at you, bb. You don't seem to like the use of swear words very much, right (I know you can see where this is going), so why do you like this music? You've explained it to me before and I think I pretty much understand but it still seems like it's just digging you into the hole deeper (I can't remember which pill did which in "The Matrix" so I won't use the "Alice in Wonderland" quote).

Here's another thing I hate about this kind of music. Not just rap but the majority of singing in general (ie: most of the "artists" they have on Letterman and Conan). Almost all of them seem like total phonies, it's almost like it comes with the territory. You can tell just by looking at their mannerisms that they just think they are the epitome of everything, they are superior to everyone. The perfect example of this is anakin's avatar, I don't know who he is. Look at him closely ... he thinks he is the greatest with his hands gripped tight around the microphone, eyes closed, bleached hair and what looks like an earring in his left ear.

One last thing is that it seems the majority of people who like this type of music are sports fanatics. Like this show that's playing in the background right now by the name of "Last Call with Carson Daily". I hear him blabbing because he comes on after Conan and I don't really care. He always has obnoxious music, probably similar to this, playing. I've listened to what he's talking about occasionally and he doesn't seem like a likeable person. He's what I like to call "testosterone induced", most likely sports (especially football) is the most important thing to him. I think a lot of this music accompanies sports and this is probably why practically everyone my age likes it. Before anyone rejects my arguments just think about what I'm saying.


edit: Stick around Adolph, you and I seem quite a bit alike. If you feel this way about today's music who knows what else.

oh the blatant accusations hurt so much PHP.

let me point out a few things:

1. Linkin Park songs do not contain swearing.

2. BB will prolly answer this but he listens to the songs because they mean something to him on an emotional level and he likes them

3. that guy in the picture is one of the singers from Linkin Park. He is not thinking hes the big shot, he is gripping hte microphone and screaming out of pure emotion, because he feels what he is singing. Do not judge everyone too soon and generalize how all bands are.

4. Another generelization. I dun like sports but i like LP. My friends dun like sports and they like LP. The quote on everyone being sports fanatics is the biggest stereotype ive heard thus far.

to adolph:

i do not see u getting out there and composing inspiring music. Each music type is targetted at different age groups, its only obvious. the LP guys aren't even that old to begin with, so its only natural they compose music for people closer to their age. Also, if u have a rock band u would like to think that u can appeal to younger ppl, that have the spirit u once had.

ALso, u cannot claim only teens listen to it coz its also generalizing. Metallica for one has a lot of fans (as seen in concerts) that are well over 30 and have been following them since the 80's..

========

the reason all tihs bothers me is once again, this is a tribute post, if u cant contribute for the sake of the band, then dont contribute at all.

Screaming for the sake of screaming isn't because they're "getting into it". It would be nice if I could hear what they were saying at least.

I know for sure the majority of the bands do. Maybe there's something special about LP.

Isn't the 'F' word a swear word? The last time I checked it was. I'm assuming this is a lyric from Linkin Park since it's a continuation to the lyrics in anakin's signature. If I'm incorrect it's because I don't like this kind of music and therefore don't listen to it.

Accusations? These are all just my own opinions judging from various bands I've seen on late shows. They don't have anything to say at'll. Money ... where?

Okay I can't say anything about this guy because I've never heard him sing before but you're missing my point. I'm using this guy (one of the singers from Linkin Park) as an example to the type of behavior I'm talking about.

One last thing is that it seems the majority of people who like this type of music are sports fanatics.

Oh no, we can't have someone post against the band ... they're gods on Earth.

3.) Im not aruging bout something trivial, but since i consider myself a fan, id like to know how the band was formed.

4.) Actz says that most rappers sing bout thier cars & girls. LP is not a rap group. it cant exactly be shunted into a group, they produce hybrid music. they do anything BUT sing bout cars and girls. They sing from the heart, and you have to listen to thier songs to truly understand what its all about.

5.) I HATE sports. Well, i dont mind watching the cricket world cup, but thats it. I suck big time @ sports. I cant play for nuts. There are no such things as stereotypes.

6.) Chester, the guy in my avatar doesnt think hes the greatest guy on earth. You have to listen to the lyrics, not just judge from a snapshot from a music video. Sure, i dont think ear-rings or tattoo's are cool, but i still like the band, bcuz they sing from the heart not from a songwriters type sheet.

7.) Theyre not Gods on earth, and if u have read my first post, i encouraged people who dislike the band to give thier reasons. So, like now i can show you where uve made an error, since youve attemped to compare LP to rap bands without even listening to their music.

Thats is completly right, the only song i have heard with Linkin Park swearing was one which wasn't linkin park it was a song called 'System' on the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack, it was Chester Bennington (who i love!) not Linkin Park. Adolph have you ever read any of the lyrics? My mum who is 56 and is not at all 'bling' read through the lyrics inside Hybrid Theory and afterwards she honestly said to me that they did mean something worthwhile. She says that they lifted her spirits up, she hates listening to Linkin Park but she says the lyrics are appealing. I like to call it 'great lyrical content' unlike bands like the offspring who tend to go on and on about these random things but like linkin park i love them but they are totally different.

I guess I'll have to quote myself.

Sorry, I confused Linkin Park with Limp Bizkit, which I've always thought is just the dumbest name.

This is what I like to call a "You say tomato, I say tomaato" type of discussion (actually I just made that up just now). There's no way I'm going to be able to make you think about anything I say and/or change your mind.
