One of the of the many things I like most about Linkin Park's music is the fact that they did Metal, rap, hip-hop, scratching, melodic and everything in between.

You should listen to the live version of this in Live in Texas. Chester went bananas.

Dallas 03 and 07!!! Wicked shows!

This has always been one of my favorite LP songs, especially lyrically. Chester and Mike's individual non-Linkin Park stuff is awesome as well. Y'all should check more of that out too. Grey Daze, Dead by Sunrise, Fort Minor, etc.

Mike's just recently said he's got new stuff coming, and this time back to the roots, and that LP fans will probably like it. Really exciting news imo, but I wonder if Mike will collab with some other singer(s), or if he'll do all vocals

Chester's clean vocals give me chills every time

"The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me"....RIP Chester...My favorite Linkin Park song ever!!! Was legendary live...I seen a interview, this was Chester's favorite too.....Great reaction guys!!!!

Favourite band of all time. My first contact with (real) music; when dad brought home a Hybrid Theory album 20+ years ago. I was just a kid back then, but I NEVER stopped listening to LP, and it's the only band ever that I never get bored of. Chester is the GOAT. Cheers from Croatia!

You guys should check out some of Mike Shinoda's solo stuff he's put out since Chester's passing. The first album he did since then was called Post Traumatic, and it's dealing with the loss of his best friend, and the emotions he was feeling when he started working on music again. Good ones to check out are "Over Again," "Crossing the Line," "I.O.U.," and DEFINITELY "What the Words Meant." That last one hits the feels HARD though. So go into that one prepared.

LP is everything. Then after Chester passed the. Honestly yall I dont know. Chester meant a lot. Ill never forget Chester.

Comparing Linkin Park and Slipknot is pretty rough. Nu Metal wouldn't be what it is today without Linkin Park (a couple of other bands, too, of course), and that's just a fact. Don't get me wrong, Slipknot is massive (maybe *currently* the biggest thing in the scene), but I think Linkin Park at their peak had such mass appeal that they dwarfed anyone else in the genre.

I really suggest that you react to every song on that album. Every song could be a single

I recommend the lesser known "Bleed it out" which is one of my LP faves! 🙂❤

Heeyyylll yeah!!! Those first 2 LP albums are pure magic, please do a full album reaction to Hybrid Theory or Meteora sometime, the songs are short and you will absolutely love both albums! You guys made my day with this one, Linkin Park holds a special place in my heart because they were one of my favorite bands as a kid! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Records not albums 🖕

I loved them since Linkin Park went by the name Xero and I first heard them on the tv series The Crow:Stairway to Heaven, and I went searching and found demos on the internet and then when they released the video for One Step Closer on MTX

The DJ is Joe Hahn

I really wish you'd react to more of their live performances. Like High Voltage which showcases Mike's rapping skills and the little things give you away which is probably LP's longest track. I highly recommend you check out the live version of these songs. Sound so me clearer and better. Pushing me away live in texas us also an excellent choice. Best version and live performance of this song

The beginning song to many road trips in my 20s and 30s. Idk how many times I’ve heard this album while driving to the beach or to concerts. Saw them live too, awesome show😊 Btw I do origami… if you get papercuts while doing it, you ain’t doing it right 😆

I was 18 when that album came out. It was basically the start of the second wave of nu-metal

Mates, you need to deep dive into more linkin Park songs. There are so many great songs.

This is one of my fav song by Linkin park and i still jam to IT ( still on my playlist )

My all time favorite LP Song 🤘🏻

Joe Hahn the dj is one of the most underrated dj’s out there. He was also the creative force behind most of their videos

There was a time in my life where I listened to this album on repeat and it was my escape. My friends were seriously worried though lol. But I really needed that and it helped then. Thanks Chester & Co.

I didn't have a favorite linkin park song because I like them all every single one of them from their first album to the last album. Although in the last album, it was kinda sad Because in the last album you could hear Chester was screaming for help with the most melodic voice. This band's music has always helped me. When times are tough and when times are great. 😊😊❤❤

Mike Shinorda (Rapper, 2nd vocalist, Rhyme guitar, keyboard, piano)/Brad Delson (lead guitarist) them two produced LP music, Mike/Chester wrote the songs and then Brad got more involved with the writing in their last album, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell does bass, Rob Bourdon is the drummer, Mike/Joe Hahn (DJ, turntables) came up with the art ideas for their albums, Joe also directed majority of their music videos, Mike came up with the set designs on how they wanted the stages to be on tour, he also did the band merchandise and created their web design. But before making any final decisions on anything, they always make sure everyone else in the band is on board. They do EVERYTHING that THEY WANTED to do they did it by their own rules. They never really claimed themselves as nu/metal they always thought of themselves as a wild card, loved expermenting, and making music that has meaning and people can relate the message to wheather its on a personal level or whats going on in the world. Chester has always been open on how he loved different styles/genres of music (all different types of rock genres, grunge, electronic, some pop but not the bubblegum type pop like Britney Spears more of the pop rock/melodic type, rap, folk, he even wanted to do a reggae style album in the future lol, acoustics, acapella he even wanted to do an "unplugged album" with some of their old music). They have always been open and honest on what they were going to do so they wouldn't mislead anyone. They have never been tied down to just ONE genre heck thats how the name "Hybrid" got created cause they didn't want to be just ONE thing and being limited. They ALWAYS wanted to grow and evolve with their music its part of growing up. The more they got older, the more they weren't angsty teens anymore. They got married and had kids and started writing about adult issues and things going on in the world. They were not like other bands. Never have they've always been unique. They did things that THEY wanted to do and not what others wanted them to be. The label tried doing that to them with their first 1st album and wanted them to keep doing the same thing as before, and thats not what they wanted. So, they broke out of that very quickly, the label backed off of them during Meteora and let them do things their own way by doing it independently with just a little bit of guidance from Rick Ruben. If anything, "Linkin Park" is its own genre. They were a very special different kind of band 💜

YES SIR!! The banger from Hybrid Theory, it was the opener to in my opinion one of the best DEBUT albums for a band in their career 🤘🏻 Man I miss these guys, but the music lives on, forever legendary, we miss you Chester Bennington 🌹 may you rest in peace 🙏🏻 DJ/Turntables = Joseph Han AKA MR HAN 🔥🔥 According to the band, Papercut metaphorically… the feeling of paranoia and the theme of the song and video is based on fear

Their first album is a massive banger!

This was my first intro to Linkin Park. I had been away at Basic Training and my sister got me the CD for Christmas. I had never heard them and she said I would love it. When I finally popped it in my discman I was hooked, wore that CD out so bad I had to buy another one.

This is one of my favorite songs by them ! I went wakeboarding along to this song and it was just perfect ! 😊

The big four of nu metal is : Linkin park, Slipknot, Korn and Limpbizkit

I second this💯

Honestly this whole album was a masterpiece

I suggested this not knowing you guys already did it! I think it's my favorite Linkin Park song. Anything from the Hybrid Theory album is absolutely incredible

One of the best opening tracks of all time. I heard this kick on when I bought the CD and I knew I was hooked.

"The sun goes down" with the mixing is the best part !

This song is one of my favorites of theirs. Hybrid Theory was an insane debut and it opened with this track. I don't know why more people aren't reacting to this. It's honestly a better song than crawling or one step closer.

7:50 now imagine youre a 11-12 year old kid frustrated with your school, family, problems. This band helped me so much when I was younger

This song is a masterpiece, just puts a smile on your face

Anxiety described perfectly, both lyrically and visually, imo

For Linkin Park...reactions to their LIVE PERFORMANCES are always 10X better. Chester lets loose every time. LOL. Miss that guy. This album is my number one favorite of allll time. And when fans tell you this album is sick from beginning to end, it is in NO WAY an exaggeration.

The first time I heard this I was hooked! What a way to start an album- and I was already old when this came out! I took my nephew to see them when he was 15 because he knew aunt sue would be the best person to take him. Talk about a debut album! The entire band is amazingly full of talent.

Absolutely awesome you guys reacted to this, there’s so many good Linkin Park songs, Nu Metal Monday gonna give you a lot of good chances to check their stuff~ It’s a really tough call as to who’s bigger between Slipknot and LP, but Linkin Park had more overall mainstream success, and really brought attention to the genre. I’m a bit biased I love both but LP is my personal favourite band. RIP Chester

They were so good live. I was lucky to see them tour their first album ❤❤❤

When Chester showed up for this music video he had a jacket that matched his pants he is wearing in this music video. Chester went hard with his rock look during this time. He was always changing his hair style and color. Mike changed his hair color but no where as often as Chester. In their first music video he had bright red hair then in the music video for Crawling he had blue hair and in this music video he had dark blue hair with 3 small red stripes in the front of his hair.

This is my favorite Linkin park song yesses

Great reaction lads papercut by linkin park is a timeless classic from the band's album hybrid theory the instrumentation was outstanding mike shinoda & chester bennington's vocal contrast works extremely well in this song & hybrid theory is my favourite album of all time by linkin park keep the reactions coming lads well done glad you enjoyed the song.🙂❤🤟🔥

Morning fellas! Oh hell ya! Love this song! Love this whole album! It got me through a dark place at one point in time! I saw in the comments that y'all should do a reaction to the full album hybrid theory..i concur! Thanks for this song guys!🤓❤️👍. (Loved your take on this smokey! I feel like we may all have a "face beneath our skin", we can have that self critic....etc)

Check out Mike Shinoda’s rap side project Fort Minor

This is my favorite LP song. Ty for reacting to it.

Excellent song 🤘🏼💕💫… the whole album is fire, I’m sure you already know that. It’s crazy that you’re doing this today for me personally its the anniversary of the day I got introduced to Linkin Park… sadly also the anniversary of 9/11… none of us will forget that day, but the way I found out about it, I had just woken up and had no idea, and my roommate came screeching into the driveway with Linkin Park blasting from her stereo… she walked in, and I handed her a cup of coffee, and I was all about that music, demanding to know who it was… but then her face said it all, she was in tears and she just went to the TV and turned it on and then of course everything changed… she turned it on just in time for us to see the second plane hit the tower live, I’ll never forget that feeling, that physical, deep, utterly broken heart that creeps into your whole body…. we just sat there and cried together the whole day, she told me about Linkin Park later, and I of course fell in love with them… they were such an incredible talent and a breath of fresh air at the time… life is so weird, for me one of the greatest bands ever is forever linked to 9/11 and suicide, oh well I guess… Today is my friend Ms birthday, she was in the city on that day, traumatized and there’s not much else to say about that except for happy birthday my sweet friend! I always make sure to spoil her for her birthday, no matter what. My other friend H, who I met in 2004 was supposed to be on flight 93 that day. I worked with her in an emergency room, she’s a doctor and an amazing soul, her parents live in New York and she was there visiting supposed to fly home to Denver that day, when her dad went to wake her up to go to the airport, she just didn’t feel like going, she wanted to sleep more and take a later flight… I know she still carries some survivors guilt with her and I just wanna say I’m so glad you weren’t on that flight My dear friend, you weren’t meant to be there, none of them were! RIP to of all the souls we lost that day and big hugs to all the heroes and heroic acts that came of it. ✌❤🤍💙

Me & my daughter used to sing Linkin Park. She rapped, i sang, lol. Good times In The End is my favorite song

The HQ of my work is located in Hutchinson KS (which changes its name to Smallville bc of the TV show based on Superman/Clark Kent)

For the longest time this was my favorite Linkin Park song. While another song has taken that favorite spot this will always remain one of my top Linkin Park songs!

Fun fact Mike said in an interview that Chester came in for this video shoot with a matching plaid jacket for his pants full on rockstar in a full plaid suit!!! R.I.P Chester one of the greats

Yes! You're back with LP reactions 😃🙌

Whenever I hear Papercut and/or watch the video. I can't help but hear (in my head) the beginning of the intro to One Step Closer start as the last note of Papercut fades because that's how it goes into track 2 on the album.

The dragon fly represents their more delicate and fragile side. That’s why they have the soldier with dragon fly wings on their Hybrid Theory album cover.

love this band

I have been a Linkin Park fan since day one

the whole album of Hybrid Theory is a masterpiece, every song is just perfect in every way Forgotten is a personal favorite of mine

the big four of nu-metal are Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park and Disturbed, all were pure raw emotion paired with powerful lyrics and the best singers of the past generation

I remember that in Italy this beautiful song was a great success

Music is universal. LP is a universal band. Everyone and anyone can understand

The face inside is right beneath my skin. Even a papercut would let it out.

Linkin Park's originally band name was Xero for their first 3 or 4 years then changed to Hybrid Theory. Their first album was going to be called "Linkin Park", but they obviously swapped the 2 names before the album drop.

You guys need to check their song "waiting for the end"

The symbolism I see regarding the name of the song name: a little thing that can happen all of a sudden from something rather inoffensive (or out of nowhere basically) that can hurt and turn your mood around, so you'll always have that fear when things are good that around the corner something bad is about to happen. It's like the Yin-Yang symbol, everything is cyclic. Paranoia.

Y'all make me miss my family in Georgia. That accent is one of a kind

One step closer was my montra after I had extensive surgery. Love Linkin Park.

I remember when Hybrid Theory was released… sheesh it feels like it was yesterday I was 13/14 y/o and went to Target with my dad to pick up my copy. I’m 35 y/o now and still listen to this album

You've got to check this song out live. Apparently its the bands favorite song to play live, and id argue its better live.

The bugs and flowers all represent metamorphosis and layers. The face inside watches and critiques everything. I think the papercut is either a tiny annoyance that amuses that inner face, or is all that would be needed to let the inner one out.

Hello from Wellington Kansas !

I know so many of their songs I could sing the lyrics along with the song.

that song is a classic of what we were born in the nineties our childhoods. greetings from Chile. 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

It’s a great song, do Lost In The Echo.

✨Your smiles say it ALLLLL🤘✨

Late to the party here, but I got the idea that mental health issues are a kind of internal pressure that, if given a tiny poke or slit, can burst through and tear you up more than expected. Trauma is sometimes accidental, or unassuming, seemingly harmless at first, but the reaction may be delayed and volatile. A papercut hardly hurts at first. In fact, you might not even see it for several seconds. Then it eventually turns reddish. After like 10 seconds, you look and see blood. Suddenly it stings real badly, and throbs in pain. You think paper is so small and harmless; there's next to no force exerted, but humans are so full of stuff. There's so much internal pressure, that the body's defense mechanism-the blood rushing up trying to heal-is tearing the skin open from the inside.

i think this was my sophmore or junior year in HS. 😂 . i miss chester. ❤

this whole album plays amazingly with a 3 seconds cross fade, I just love it 😅

This was a Hot Topic ad mashed up with a TOOL video

The thing with Linkin Park is that the first 2 albums are really the only ones you could throw in the nu metal category, it was really just Hybrid Theory that was honestly. Their sound changed with each album over time so you you can't really keep them in any one genre.

Just some great stuff

Rip Chester. Such an underrated talent

Did anyone else hear the intro to "Crawling" in their head as this song ended??

If Chester had not took his own life, LP would probably still be making music and OWNING the stage... LP had the best live audiences and shows I've ever been to.. #RIP to an absolute legend, gone too soon...

You really think Chester killed himself? Look harder.

Y'all should check out Dangerkids! They only dropped 2 albums but they are heavily influenced by Linkin Park.

One of my favourite bands that I unfortunately never got to see live. Could you react to Bullet for my Valentine - Don't Need You. We Want A Battle (Here's A War) or No More Tears To Cry. A Metal band from South Wales, UK. One of many bands from where I'm from.

thank you ALL for keep on celebrating his legacy 🖤

One of their greatest of course! As a hardcore fan, I can't say there's a LP's song I really don't like, some of my favourites (that I think you haven't reacted to yet) are Reading my eyes (live version!), The Catalyst, Waiting for the end, Powerless, With you, Talking to myself, Pushing me away, Rebellion...

Slipknot the biggest “Nu metal “ out the two but Linkin Park is the bigger artist and eventually evolved into their own genre

Nice shirt Hollywood six 🤘

Great song

This was Chester’s favorite song to perform.

From Ashes to New early years is as close to Linkin Park sound, they have done a few Linkin Park covers like Faint, Heavy/papercut, In The End, their own song My Name is in the style of Linkin Park, check out their other songs, including ones off their new Album Blackout
