From Chester Bennington:


October 21, 2010

Whatever critics called A Thousand Suns, "commercial sure bet" wasn't it.

"We knew we were taking a risk," says Bennington during a break from rehearsals for Linkin Park's coming tour.

"A lot of people will love it, and a lot of people will need to digest it and get over what perhaps their expectations were, and a lot of people are gonna be like, 'What the f--- is this? Are you kidding me?'

"To me it makes complete sense. I mean, I know it's different, but it's not shocking to me. It felt very natural to go in a direction that was challenging for us as well as challenging for our fans - 'cos we love taking people on this little trip that we're on.

"We don't wanna keep reliving the glory days by rehashing songs and styles over and over and over again, and our fans know that."

I loved Minutes To Midnight, but what I've heard of this album hasn't impressed me. I think they've gone too left field and have lost a bit of what defines them.

agreed, but still reserving judgment until i see them live- theis always briiliant so want to hear new songs live.

HOSPITAL?  could have told us sooner rather than mid-am of the show!- droves of furious fans showed up to DC VERIRZON CENTER TO see a liitle white 2 line piece of paper on the arena door announcing the cx- No emails from Ticketmaster, STUHUB, THE BAND, NOTHING- just a blurb on their site am of the show when its already too late- if ur so sick have to be in the hospital- should know sooner plus NO RESCEDULE DATE!?? WHATS A MATTER DIDNT SELL ENOUGH TICKETS??- Hmmm-

I've gone to 3 countries to see GNR THIS LAST YEAR- Axl has never done this- he played his heart out in Birmingham- sick as a dog- gave it 100% while feeling like crap just like Jordan back in the day-  SCREW YOU LINKIN PARK!!  Your new album is a steaming pile of shit!!- the worst crap of ever hear of chanting & noises- Nobody likes your new shit!! I'm done with this band!!

[Bodhi]

To me it looks like Linkin Park did Washington and CT a favor...they havent been good since 2002.  They are shit Top 40 pop band like K$sha and Justin Bieber now.

Dear Chester:

why is your last album a pile of steaming crap consisting of mostly chants & strange noises??  Why didn't You give fans who flew in from other States or drove long hours, booked hotels etc. more notice to cx first DC show if you were so sick you had to be hopitilized??  Why are there NO makeup dates for these shows or promises to come back when feeling better & "wow" us???
