*Unofficial* Linkin Park thread

Oh yeah, spooky!

Love that sketch so much, hopefully there’s a colour version somewhere.

@IronSoldier16 We need to know what you look like :thinking: Are you Linkin Park’s baby?! :open_mouth: :hugs:

Did you see the bench in Birmingham? It was amazing. Love Banksy. I reckon it’s a group rather than just one person though.

I really love the artwork on THP, it’s very powerful and has a similar vibe as Living Things - which is probably my second favourite cover.

Excellent question! Who knows where we can get baby pix of @IronSoldier16?!? :wink::joy::joy::joy:

:laughing: I’m sure he/she is adorable. I actually think both babies on the HT inserts look awesome.

@Fravaco a rare winged-soldier, fighting since the very beginning. I don’t know how many others on here are fans since Hybrid Theory first came out, but that album artwork will always be something special :heart:

No,unfortunately not☹. And yeah,could be a group…Also Banksy sounds like a good group name i think.And there are so many pieces by them(?). Some people claim they found out his personality,but i don’t even wanna know it🤬i think it kinda ruins a part of his art (or their).

:joy::joy::smiley:

:joy::joy:we need some!

As weird as this may sound, my favourite album art is Recharged. And I hate that album. I consider it LP’s worst work EVER.

Ok. Second tag by you @zanybelle and before you take my not answering to personal :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I will write something. :kissing_heart:

It’s just, I’m not into measuring up and numbering my likings. Besides we have tonnes of topics already doing this. I am interested in this topic here for the thinking. I’m curious about, what the thoughts of others towards LP stuff is, why you are moved by certain things.
Without lining them up.
For me, one thing that Linkin Park makes my most favourite band is, that I not only love the diversity, but love all of them without great differing.
So to the album covers.
I love that they are all standing on there owen, without seemingly any context to each other.
If someone would ask, wich one represents Linkin Park the most, then I would say, HT and meteora. Can’t really say way, probably cause they are the longest with the band and also most fans feel that way.
I really love a thousand suns. This is the album that for me is an all together art work. And the cover so much represents the content. An atomic explosion or a peace dove. Both in one, just wow.
Living Things, I can’t stop to see a mummy in it, so it freaks me out a little. Don’t like mummies. :joy:
Love the drawings on the Hunting Party. Real happy to have now a Tee with it on. :blush:
OML, the playing kids in the water, it is such an awesome picture and so fitting to the album.

What’s with the live covers? I love them too.
OMLL is also a little freaky. Cause it is a Chester memorial album and there is this interview between Mike and Chester where their questions are on this picture.
Really love RTR, especially that it is paper box, it’s such a difference to hold it in my hands, the same for MTM.
But I love to have all of them, to unfold them, to take the time, to read everything, to admire the inside art.
The inside pic of Chester in LIT moves me deeply.

So, probably enough for now. :joy:

For those who haven’t seen this video before, enjoy :heart:

@HakManLP you would like this one :love_you_gesture:

Haha that’s funny. I like Chester putting his hands celebrating his mistake :laughing: and talking about singing at two years old :slightly_smiling_face: Really good interview. I often wonder if Gilmore is the missing element to that HT sound :thinking: Mike doesn’t seem convinced though.

And One Step Closer! :wink: :heart:

Interesting choice cover. I probably don’t like Collision Course in terms of my lowest rated (other than Numb / Encore). It just doesn’t live up to Reanimation :confused:

Yes, that’s a lovely picture :slightly_smiling_face:

@anna834 I forgot to say, the Living Things cover is a scan of Chester on the cover (although looks a bit mummy like with the unravelling of the layers). This video is interesting to see how they decided on the cover: https://youtu.be/UIe4Xd5-LVo

I agree it’s not like anything else and to me you can really see Chester in the outline which I think makes it a bit more special. I never quite got the ATS cover, couldn’t quite see the dove as clearly myself :thinking: THP and OML are good, I agree, they just work for the albums somehow. Love RTR cover of course for the UK fans! :heartpulse: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

As @drounzer shared a video, I had to show this particularly after seeing the new Evanescence video which shows the band’s bond. This to me is the Linkin Park bond :’)

@HakManLP :heart: It’s magic seeing them sing together isn’t it. Oh. I’m still waiting from your response to what LP album covers you like (if any)? And thought you would like the Hybrid Theory and Meteora sketch picture I posted here, that was so amazing! :heart_eyes: I tagged you :slightly_smiling_face:

I didn’t finish my response to your album cover comments yesterday was rushing out, I’ve edited it now. Oh and like you have The Hobbit there! :+1: :laughing:

Really? For me, it was a dove from the start, after reading about it, I saw the atomic bomb too. :grin:

Thanks for the link, I will check it.
And for the editing remark, wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.
Already wondered why your one comment tagged me so often. :see_no_evil: :rofl:

It’s a bit like the Rorschach test maybe, you see what you want rather than what’s there? To me, blobs although I see the tail of the bird (coming out of an egg?) :confused: :laughing: Oh good job I mentioned it then :+1:

My favorite two covers are Hybrid Theory and Meteora. But I like Reanimation (this was just so cool these days if you had one copy of that), Minutes to Midnight, Living Things and Hunting Party too

do you got this picture with an LP-Logo where the ‘link for chester isn’t missing in the logo’ ?- would love to save that for my collection :heart: :pray:t2:

and maybe to start a conversation:

From the inside (3)

‘From the inside’ turned 16 on 12th January - It’s a special song for me and I’ve got this song tattooed on my right arm with many more Linkin Park songs. From the Inside is one of my alltime favorites since back in the early 2000’s. I love the energy when Chester screams at this part - my favorite part- (check out the picture) and also the guitar, bass and drum-play. Also From the Inside is an example for a ‘grown up’ Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory, bc the vocals from Mike and Chester are matching perfect (like in HT) but with an extra bonus - some magazine wrote “vocals developement”

So what’s your thoughts and feelings about and with this song and lyrics?
