Transcripts
Lincoln Park is back and they've got a
new singer and there is a lot of drama
going on and there's a lot of weirdness
to talk about I feel like all of you
have heard of Lincoln Park before
they're probably one of the most
well-known bands of the Modern Age and
even just hearing the name Lincoln Park
is like time travel for my brain it just
transports me like astral projects me
back to like 2002 I've said this before
Hybrid Theory is my favorite album ever
and I think it always will be it was the
soundtrack to my formative years the
boner jams on here I don't think will
ever be beaten and I feel the same way
about Meteora I think both of those
albums are masterpieces but when Hybrid
Theory comes on it's like popey getting
his spinach I'll hear that and I'll just
go [ __ ] super human I'll feel like I
can run through five brick walls point
is I feel strongly about this band and
when Chester Bennington tragically
passed away it was really rough and it
still is it's extremely sad he is a
one-of-a-kind talent that will never be
seen again however Lincoln Park the band
is back and they have a new singer and
last week they performed a concert with
her her name is Emily Armstrong so they
did a a performance with Emily they
released a single with Emily and Lincoln
Park is putting out an album with her as
well and there's more feelings and
emotions here than an inside out too
there has been a lot of discussion
around it and since the performance a
lot of information has has come out that
has changed the conversation from
Lincoln Park and even the new song they
put out and put it entirely on Emily
Armstrong because she's got a lot of
weird stuff that's gone on to put it
lightly so she's apparently a
Scientologist and was actually at like a
preliminary hearing for Danny Masterson
as like a show of support for him if you
don't remember who that evil piece of
[ __ ] is let me jog your memory Danny
Masterson is the actor from that 70 show
who is a rapist in real life he is a
convicted rapist and if that doesn't you
know reconnect some neural Pathways in
your brain maybe you'll remember some of
the drama that happened last year where
some celebrities wrote character letters
to the judge going over how great of a
guy Danny Masterson is to try and help
with some lenient sentencing for him
he's got a great smile well he never
raped me you know come on have a heart
what are you doing have you seen that 70
show what an actor
and some of those celebrities include
Ashton ccher and milakunis who were
glazing him like a donut and then once
all this information came out they then
released an apology video trying to you
know reduce the the shrapnel they were
getting hit with with all the backlash
from
it not to just go off on that tangent
but that is still an infuriating thing
that happened anyway though Emily
Armstrong comes into the picture because
she was called out by Cedric Bixler zala
who brought to light the fact that she
is a Scientology member who showed up to
the Danny Masterson early hearing as
part of a group basically as like an
intimidation tactic it certainly isn't
the best thing to be learning about this
new vocalist who's replacing a beloved
singer and it's left fans very upset I'm
not going to dive too deep into
everything that's come out about all of
that however Emily Armstrong responded
with a a post about it where she said
that she missed judged Danny Masterson
she you know regrets doing that and
doesn't support it however she didn't
utter a peep about scientology that word
was like Voldemort tour which is really
weird cuz it's not like that wasn't
related because that was kind of the
whole reason that she was there
apparently so I don't know why she
wouldn't talk about that at all I'm just
kidding pulling your leg I know exactly
why she wouldn't mention Scientology
because she's probably afraid to fearing
for her [ __ ] life if she pisses off
the scientologists that's kind of the
whole situation in a nutshell it's by no
means a thorough dive into all of it I
highly encourage all of you to read more
from Cedric Bixler ofala about this
situation and more information around it
and there's been a lot of good coverage
on all of it I just kind of wanted to
give you like the Bare Bones breakdown
of it and I also kind of want to give
you my perspective on Lincoln Park
moving forward with a new singer even if
it wasn't Emily Armstrong I really do
think it is fine for Lincoln Park to
continue as a band I know a lot of
people said they should have like
changed their name or something I
disagree I don't think there's anything
wrong with carrying on the legacy of
Lincoln Park as a group I think that is
a totally understandable thing to do
especially if they all still have
passion for the project and I think
everyone including them knows you can
never replace Chester Bennington and I
think them hiring Emily Armstrong to do
that is them understanding that it's an
impossible task to replace a talent like
that a soul like that so Emily Armstrong
being their vocalist is very much not a
Chester Bennington you know
impressionist or anything she sounds
completely different during their live
performance like she sounded fine there
were some moments where her like voice
would crack and sometimes it sounded a
bit like karaoke but overall she did a
good job with the songs as a singer I
did not like the single at all that's
just not my style of music that I really
Vibe with that didn't have me wiggling
my finger and salivating for the album
to drop
unfortunately and it's no secret I
didn't really like any of Lincoln Park's
albums after Minutes to Midnight but
even still I've always had like an
appreciation of the band I think there
was a time when I was like in college
where I was really upset that the music
they were putting out wasn't the music I
was used to but I've come to understand
now since I'm 30 years old that you're
just not going to be doing the same
thing forever and it's silly to expect
that so them changing their style so
much over the years makes a lot of sense
to me it's just not a style that
personally resonated with my taste and
there's nothing wrong with that I also
wanted to mention that I completely
understand why Lincoln Park wouldn't
want a clone of Chester to replace him
and move forward with this group there
is a group called Hybrid Theory and they
are a tribute band to Lincoln Park and
their lead singer his name is Ivo
Rosario there are times where he sounds
almost indistinguishable from Chester
Bennington he is about as close as I
think anyone could ever come to sounding
like Chester even if someone gathered
all the dragon balls and made a wish to
just have Chester's voice I still don't
think it would sound the same I think IO
rasario is as close to that as a mortal
can possibly get his screams are are
pretty much one to one sometimes he has
the raspiness and the grit to his clean
vocals that only Chester could really do
like even when he was doing given up
which has Chester's longest continuous
scream Ivo matched not only the same
tone of the scream but also the same
duration he's an extraordinarily
talented vocalist who sounds about as
close to Chester as my two nuts are to
the shaft of my [ __ ] like it is close
and he also kind of looks like Chester
and I definitely don't think he should
have been the replacement for Chester in
Lincoln Park I under no circumstances
think that would have been the right
decision I saw a lot of people flood
hybrid theories comment section saying
how dare they choose Emily over Ivo this
makes no sense look at how close he
sounds to Chester he even looks like
Chester's Doppel ganger it looks like
they were separated at Birth they're
clones I just don't think it would be a
good idea just picture this you lose
your best friend in the world and then a
little while later you find someone that
looks and sounds just like them like I
don't think you'd be like oh my new best
friend perfect I I needed someone to
come in here and fill these shoes like
it'd be extremely weird for the band I
would think and it'd be extremely weird
for fans I would think it certainly
would be for me if I heard Lincoln Park
have a vocalist that sounds exact like
Chester I think it'd almost be
disrespectful in my eyes so I do think
them going for a different sounding
vocalist for a different direction was
the right call I'm just not convinced
Emily Armstrong was the right choice to
fulfill that role you know I I think you
could have got a better quarterback I I
feel like if the band knew all of the
Scientology stuff they probably wouldn't
be super thrilled about that either
especially given everything that they've
gone through I'm not going to be you
know putting thoughts in their head you
know putting poop in their butt or
anything I don't know them personally
I'm sounding very parasocial here but
from everything I've ever learned about
them it feels like a lot of what I've
learned about Emily Armstrong would be
very much not something they'd be super
happy about and I don't think that she's
the best possible vocalist they could
have gotten or anything either but
anyway what I do think is that IO Mario
and the Hybrid Theory tribute band is a
really really [ __ ] fun group that is
touring and it's a group I really want
to see I never got to see Lincoln Park
live and it's something that I really
regret a huge missed opportunity I was
really considering going to Revolution
when it came to the swamp down here but
I got really nervous and cold feet about
being around a lot of other people so I
ended up just pussying out and not going
and I never got to see them perform live
but seeing Hybrid Theory perform live
will probably be about as close as I can
ever get to experiencing a fraction of
what an OG Lincoln Park concert must
have been like and I think that's super
cool I am really happy that Hybrid
Theory is such a talented group that
does all of these tracks Justice and
hopefully they'll they'll come around
the area at some point so I can go to
one of those concerts but I do not think
Iva Rosario would have been the right
call to replace Chester Bennington in
Lincoln Park I think it just would have
been a little weird for the legacy of
Lincoln Park and Chester anyway though
that's really about it see y
