Linkin Park - headlining Download 2011

[666gothicaBEAST]

@people who have nothing good to say:

i was a huge lp fan since they first came out and still am.

have respect for their hardwork. and yes they do have fucking talent.

i also have respect for ALL artists in this world who actually WORK over their boundaries to become successful. Yea there are many musicians in this world who has led to fame, but there are also many who aren't that successful.

Haters, do yourself a favor and shut the fuck up coz u make urselves look like fucking retards.

[whitbyjet65]

I went to the original Monsters of Rock at Donington. To think it's degenerated to this shit.

[jack23knight]

ive always loved LP but for me they took a BIG hit when they covered adele at itunes, if your gonna cover a song first cover a good song and second dont cover a winey song from an artist whos song all sound the same

rant over

[Shaunapeedy]

@jack23knight very true that her songs all sound the same but chesters voice is just sooooo amazing with it!

[angela80808]

i love linkin park and i can watch them performing 'live'forever'.i got the kick out watched them 'live'last year in birmingham.i wish i have bought a linkin park t-shirt from the concert but i can't help to think they were dodgy from the street!so now i have to get it done from a printing shop and it's worth it too.:-)

[Notas149]

this interview isnt from 2011 ...

[MrJ1MmY94]

@Notas149 read the description 

[Op4Blushift]

@chaosinorderrr exactly what im thinking half the time. Seriously, lp have matured past that point..

[smpleday11]

我愛 LINKIN PARK!

[chaosinorderrr]

why do so many people want "one simple riff, teen angsty lyrics writing" linkin park back? this shit is beyond me!

[fukinblowme]

This is a second rate version of Limp Bizkit.

[gagaladyful]

@fukinblowme they are two different band. One is a Nu Metal band, One is a Nu Metal, Alternative, Hip Hop band

[fukinblowme]

@gagaladyful and neither have any real talent.

[TheElephant79]

Don´t need em.

[alfie0536]

CANNOT FUCKING WAITTTTT LEAVING TOMORROW :D :D :D :D

[cheekychik07]

Saw them live in november, trust me you wont be dissapointed;

i agree i thought their new album was shit, but when they play some of the songs live it was 1000 times better and now i love it. "The Catalyst" really surprised me, they played it first on the encore and the place went mental. :D

[lparklover]

IL OVE LINKIN PARK:D

[OoohAPurpleTurtle]

its just... their new album is... SHIT!

[RiverBelow93]

sarcasm: isnt it great how Download is nearly always on when a lot of irish fans have state exams to do. thanks a fecking lot!

[RcT3XtRa]

Why does everyone rip at Linkin Park, There one of the most world known bands around!

[R0NJ0N]

@RcT3XtRa that doesn't mean anything. lady gaga and soulja boy are too. doesn't mean they are amazing.

[Op4Blushift]

even if you dont like lp's music, new or old, theres no denying that they are a very strong live band.

[jajamos]

@Op4Blushift Are you serious, His voice sounds shit live

[JOEington]

@jajamos I can recommend you a good ear doctor he is called Dr Mike Shinoda.

[passdop]

@jajamos you are clearly deluded or just jealous...maybe if you saw them you'd understand that

[mighty12GTFC]

@matongabo Download never has and never will be a metal festival. It's a Rock festival that caters to all forms of Rock. This being the likes of Classic Rock to the likes of Heavy Metal.

[EpicSkatinDrummerGuy]

They better play there old stuff ¬¬

[yiyohh]

What concert is that 2:01??? PLEASE!!!

[EpicSkatinDrummerGuy]

@yiyohh Download 2004?

[lgraham0410]

@yiyohh download '04

[TheElGatoMeow]

these fuckers instead of Lamb of God?

[Binmenproductions]

why do so many people hate on LP, they are an amazing band :(

[CLIFTYPOPS]

@Binmenproductions Used to be an amazing band.

[chavkiller1035]

@CLIFTYPOPS Still are.

[Opadome]

@chavkiller1035 And will always be.

[chavkiller1035]

@Opadome Amen.

[gagaladyful]

@CLIFTYPOPS always be.

[Opadome]

@Binmenproductions What haters? I thought Chuck Norris killed them...

[Epicface58]

@Binmenproductions They don't it's just a thousand pissed alot of people of, but lp knew that would happen but they wanted a sense of freedom and to experiment with new music....LP Forever!!

[thepunishervshulk]

@Binmenproductions They aren't bad. But soft rock has no business at Download kid.

[imaSoldier187]

@Binmenproductions This is so true. Find me someone that can out sing chester, theres no one i know of, his scream is untouched.

[TheCrondom]

those live videos sounded terrible.

[godlikecharacta]

what a bad download this was, every year they get a little less metal. Last year they had limp bizkit... Seriously WTF!

[zombiebrainsontoast]

@godlikecharacta

lmao.... lethal bizzle.......do i need to say more haha

[TheLiamdavis93]

@godlikecharacta who were going to headline the first download but pulled out.....

[godlikecharacta]

@TheLiamdavis93 haha!!! they pulled out on download! they're lucky anyones calling them lol

[playsafe869]

I cant wait man its gona be another guddin, I went I think the 2009 one where slipknot and korn headlined with the prodigy

got a pretty good selection this year too :D

[malfunctioninghero]

The songs did not go together at all! >< But they are awesome once they begin. :)

[DirkArnez]

start from 1.43 chester has the haircut of the style at 2004 rock am ring

[MisterBlinkyTheGreat]

Third headliner better be one of these: metallica, iron maiden, prodigy, AcDc, slipknot, chickenfoot or something else incredibly good. System of a down should be decent but linkin park? Seriously? Third has to be impressive.

[chazwwe]

@MisterBlinkyTheGreat Rumour has it that its Pearl Jam subed with Soundgarden :D

[piepiepie900]

@chazwwe Really? You better not be getting my hopes up here.

THAT. WOULD. BE. EPIC.

[chazwwe]

@piepiepie900 Like I said only rumours but yea, next anouncement is on teh 23rd (this month) and it anounces the next headliner so we'll find out

[piepiepie900]

@chazwwe You bastard haha

[tanujbaru]

[ritalinrush]

[NikkiSulaiman]

[toxicshock80]

[theindiedream]

i still dont understand why they changed there sound like that i liked there song catalyst befor i knew it was them...alot of people dont like change and boi was that a big change but i still love them and cant wait to see them at download -peace out-

Im so excited!!! To see most of the band's playing

[marshmallow117]

[theshyemo]

@marshmallow117 Well if you think download is going gay dont go there's plenty of other festivals you can go too.

[krullsk]

omg really...

[CRD26]

If they dont want bottles and rocks thrown at them, i suggest they only play songs from there first 3 albums.

[heavymetalrules123]

How can this band go from so awesome, to so bad!

I shall be at both Download and Sonisphere... Download are gonna have to get their acts sorted if theyre gonna to compete.

[RaaaawrProductions]

sonisphere is gona be shit I don't what everyone is on about Download ftw! Avenged, Linkin park, system of a down. awesome line up in my opinion

[RoCkErX285]

@RaaaawrProductions You don't know what everyone is on about? Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Slipknot, that's what everyone is on about.

[RaaaawrProductions]

@RoCkErX285 I know who's performing I just don't know why everyone is bumming it when it's just the big four with slipknot. That bores me

[Ducks720]

@RoCkErX285 three of the big 4 are dogshit

[Matejko04]

This band..

This is fucking worse news from long time.... :/:/:/

[killer2517]

get bieber at download this year and instead of making him sing we kill and feed him to the crowd XD

[dondondondonself]

ive always chosen download over any over festival no way this year got to be sonisphere

[MrRicotine]

@dondondondonself BOTH FTW!

[RoCkErX285]

Sonisphere is going to completely outdo download this year.

[TheMJQ]

disapointed fucking awful headliner. way to let us down.

[HEARTSIATING]

There's someone in Moscow who will go?? This is a great event !!!!!!!!!!! I very much want to go))

[hardchristian2k9]

saw them at 2007 download and i shall see them at 2011 download again

be hell of a festival system of a down avenged sevenfold and linkin park

fuckin awesome

[xJDL]

Chester needs to sort his hair out though.

[Geebeh]

anyone got the name of the second song on this vid please?

cheers

[alldaybasketball]

@Geebeh "The Catalyst"

[MrChrisArrowsmith]

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!!

[VitalPark]

2004 chester is the best... but also today is he the best singer in the world

[SmarkySmarkz]

Sonisphere got Linkin Parks support act (2008) where as Download got the real deal! No contest. I am a big Sonisphere fan, but Download has them crying on the floor like a girl

[colleenmiller19]

dont know why people are complaining id much rather linkin park than Sonispheres awful biffy annoucement!! ive seen LP live a few times now and even though im not a big fan they never fail to impress, so im happy :)

[Dragonslaying555666]

@colleenmiller19 Well, the awful Biffy announcement really wouldn't have gone done well if they would've announced them after they announced The Big Four...

[alldaybasketball]

wow I'm surprised at some of these comments. I mean how dumb can you be. Linkin Park is one of the greatest bands that play live! I can tell that the haters don't even follow LP or know what they are about. Pretty sad...A7X is good but not good as LP live. LP is the most dynamic band ever. They can play any genre of music.

[SuperJOHNTHEKING]

Yeh,LP rocks.nice video.

[sajinokami]

1:43

... oh wow ok then.

chester is so different.

well this looks nice... too far for me though.

[xlilcutie93x]

lol headliners are used to promote the festival and earn them money. You think they're going to let the decades biggest rock band open for another band? Yeah right.

[SkaterG62]

Can't wait :D fuck the haters, shows gunna be mind-blowing

[hilljosh8]

I miss da old lp

[weemarkarr]

i fucking hate when they use the pure sound from the sound desk ¬_¬ it makes them sound really gash!...you do need mic's near ythe crowd or in the tower >_<

[LameBoyProductions]

I love LP and I love SOAD. how sad it's in uk ='(

[99adgil]

@Blarg950 A7X arnt headling at least not the mainstage

[tvandbeermakehomergo]

would have been interested in seeing LP, but the catalyst sucked balls.

[99adgil]

@tvandbeermakehomergo saw them in 07 was very good played plenty of the older stuff i wouldnt worry about the slightly odd new stuff to much

[kylehennington93]

wow... they really blow live

[99adgil]

@kylehennington93 how can u say that lol there one of the few bands that sounds as good as they do on album live lol

[RoCkErX285]

@Blarg950 I meant headlining the main stage.

[craigm1995]

i wont be going to download then

[Linkinparksoldier]

@craigm1995 thx one moron less.

[j4kk4j]

@craigm1995 ..yeah but systerm of a down :(

[craigm1995]

@j4kk4j

good point but i think sonisphere will be better

[j4kk4j]

@craigm1995 Yeeaahhhh but soad :(

[rowandoolaard]

@craigm1995 who cares

[craigm1995]

@rowandoolaard

you or you wouldnt have commented

[futhamucka]

@craigm1995 then you missed out on a fucking good year. Lingery Fart were only one band that were you there you know.

[Boymentation1994]

They're not as good as they used to be.

[sumthinodd81]

who cares about these guys headlining they suck ass.

[RoCkErX285]

I still think they should have had Avenged Sevenfold headlining one of the nights, I mean they are pretty popular among hard rock/metal fans and they put on a great live show. Linkin Park are an OK band but not the right for download.

[sckou25]

linkin park at the last years have decrease their live performance. you wont go there to move your head anymore, like was in the past!

[Dragonslaying555666]

This announcement has genuinely made me think twice about going...

[NewB0rnKiller]

I'd prefer it if they weren't headlining, maybe in support of a headliner.

[DiseasedSquidwurd]

Ok, so here is my view. I like Linkin Parks old stuff. If they play stuff like Numb or Papercut, Ok, that will be fine. Their new stuff is shocking! So that is what I'm hoping for. I don't like Rob Zombie though so I'm a little disappointed with that. SOAD And A7X are a good shout though! :D

[Funkmonkv1]

3rd time headlineing download i think Andys loseing it.

[Funkmonkv1]

ill be at the 2nd stage or shower or tent during them.

[tehsimo]

They sure as fuck better play Hybrid Theory start to finish.

None of this rubbish off their last 2 rubbish albums.

[zacoid]

Well seeing as though Linkin Park were my first major band that I listened to I really welcome this headlining act ^^

[straightedgedeadman]

what rubbish system of a down is a great announcment but booking this pop band

has made me think im going to bloodstock or maybe sonisphere

[thefrostydrummer]

@straightedgedeadman sonisphere booked biffy clyro as second headliner ...

i think thats even more of a pop band really

[straightedgedeadman]

@thefrostydrummer yeah youre right but there both bad announcments i love both slipknot and system of a down but after these announcments im seriously considering going to bloodstock

[az31192]

Not impressed. at all.

They seem so weak live.

How the hell can they be headlining?!

[xlilcutie93x]

@az31192 Cuz festivals need money, and LP have one of the largest rock fanbases of the decade.

[bassbitchboomer]

First time I'm not going to Download at all since 2003. You're supposed to step it up when you get competition. 

[a3HeadedMonkey]

You're gonna have to do a lot better than that Download. Try again.
