0:00 [Music] all right for this I'm just going to let you guys listen to this I don't know if you've heard the news about this but if you haven't this is a great way to find out so used to the yeah the original maybe you're just well it's like when they had Journey the Filipino guy do Journey you nailed it you can't tell that it's Journey if you close your eyes you could you can't tell in this case you can tell IMM is that what they wanted I don't know you're not supposed to not tell did Lincoln Park want not want to replace Chester that's a good question or just do a whole RR exactly yeah what do you guys think about sublim with Rome who was who what about Sublime Rome the I mean so you know the lead singer

0:50 passed right so they brought a new and then they call it Sublime with Rome like there's a I didn't know they did that yeah so he does all the songs and they tour with yeah I think a lot of people are going to get mad at this because they're expecting it to be exactly the same but if they're not looking to yeah like replace Chester then I guess this is fine I there are people that are mad about it cuz I I bet the hardcore Lincoln Park fans they might be pissed it just doesn't sound the same like i' rather have a 3-foot Filipino guy that Nails it cuz when you close your eyes you're like that's him okay so what about her isn't her nailing it the voice I think so too yeah yeah just off I feel like it's um like you believed him yeah I don't I don't believe her yeah yeah okay

1:41 it feels like she but I but I also could be saying that from like a biased perspective because like listening to the original for well well you're not biased cuz you're a white and that's white music that's right this is your ████ this is your I judge her because I'm white Jud I could judge solo you know okay but like uh but you're you're right about the journey guy like if you just listen to the track you cannot tell the difference but if you saw you're just kind of like you're just sitting there like damn that's a Filipino boy you know that's why I don't think I don't think Liam Park wanted to go down like that either I don't think they want to be like journey in the way that like oh you can't tell I think that's One Direction yeah cuz I feel like it's I think respect to Chester they didn't want to just make another Chester cuz I feel like it's ultimately it's their decision right it's their band and I get it um and then yeah like are you trying to find a Chester replacement and that

2:33 might feel weird but then on the same on the same token it I get where Kina is saying too where like because it doesn't feel believable like that this message or this content is coming from her it almost feels like she's doing a cover while the band is doing the original and so that's where this kind that's right it feels like it feels like a cover band yeah cuz if it's just an entire cover band you're like okay cool yeah these guys are doing The Beatles what if they release different music like all original music with their new lead I think that's a huge thing that wouldn't be a thing you make a new song and then she comes out and does her screeno and stuff like that and you accept it because you've never heard it before and then in tribute like the older songs are also played that might be a different thing but then on top of that too like it might be the medium of which we consume this maybe if we were there live maybe we would feel

3:25 the authenticity it's very hard to replace Chester though you sad you know what sad that's the whole point maybe you're not trying that's why you got a chick out there you know the singers are so important because like if no doubt like had a different guy playing trumpets nobody gives a ████ yeah that's so ████ true dude that's so true do you know the song The Emptiness machine CH Peppers By who Lincoln Park you said what you know the song MTS machine only because I'm I think maybe as a fair assessment to see if we like the sound without comparing to the old thing we could listen to a song we don't really know by I think know I don't know that song that's not it that's an ad that's an ad for spectrum TV oh my favorite yeah uh that might be a good way to judge it cuz I think if I'm listening to any of the old stuff it's hard to take yourself out of how you remember it cuz it's so iconic it's too iconic yeah and it it's it sounds too

4:17 different from the it's still a woman nothing wrong with that but she doesn't even sound like him that's do you like how it sounds I'm comparing it too much with she needs to sound like Lincoln Park no but you know the song or no I don't know the song that's what I'm saying if you don't know it then you can judge if you like the sound of it see this is I think that's what it is I think we're biased because she sounds un not believable because if she was okay if this was a new band we're not thinking about Lincoln Park it's it would probably be like this is a sick band yeah it cool I mean I wouldn't think of linol Park here I never heard on my life if like Evan Essence came out and it was two dudes singing I'd be like I'm also you know what it is though wake

5:07 me up is Weir up inside can't wake up I don't think I don't think I I already don't always enjoy but then I for sure don't enjoy the female version of that I don't know why yeah like it's not a thing when she start feel like a distress call it puts me in a ████ fight or flight when she first started singing I kind of got shades of like param it does sound like parore though but I was like this is actually pretty cool like cuz you don't really hear music like this at least I don't nowadays like the modern version of it but parore don't Screech out like that no no but like you know that one song that they do their famous song Misery Business yeah yeah and it's like kind of like I guess whiny is it's not whiny that one no they're not screaming that yeah but that that pitch and that tone makes me go like oh this ████ is

5:57 whining but it's not like I can't help woman Mony all like stop complaining no it's not even complaining it's just like it's just that sound I'm not really lately it just reminds me of that era just like All American Rejects and ████ you guys remember ER like I like it but it make there's a part of me that cringes when I hear it just because it reminds me of like a middle school version of me I'm just like you know like so I don't know maybe my I guess this is growing up well dude when I hear my paper heart will bleed like all that ████ that ████ oh talking about that like yeah like all American read like that era that era like love reminds I like it too but what was the the middle school version of you doing just that your lipstick is don't it just reminds me of that like angsty like you like oh

6:47 you didn't like it what you like to do with Lincoln Park cuz what I would do is play World of Warcraft while while Lincoln Park was in the background or or GTA damn why was doing this your workout hey you know what's crazy I I didn't really like Lincoln Park that much dude you know what's you know what's sad I think I told the story on here before but like all my friends know about I love linol Park loved them and then the girl I was dating when a senior year of high school she was like look like kind of had a she wasn't a Filipino fob but she had sometimes the fob acts would come out and which I hated and then like one day she was singing along to it and I couldn't listen to them anym Ru it you ruined it for me how did it sound like so weird she was like she was like what song was she she was like I put my trust in you but she did it with the accent and I went what the hey you

7:38 know what's funny though I heard when people with accents I heard I heard when people with accents when they sing English their accent goes away that it ruined Le park because I was friends with Eris at the time and he was like what happened you don't like Le Park I was like I put my I never I I never thought that anyone could ruin a band for me she ruined it for me straight up I could my Dr I couldn't hear them no more you she was singing along to him in the car and I just was like holy ████ I I hate this band now did she do the Mike shenoda ad libs in no did she do the rap part dude all I remember is that once she did that I I just couldn't hear him he doesn't try how hard I try it just it

8:29 gets th as she sing which it's not like it's not that her her exit she she just sounded really bad she just s sucked when she did it so I was like ho ████ it it's tough because like it's not to me it's not just songs it's Lincoln Park has a sound yeah and then that sound produces songs yeah and then so when I hear it that isn't the Lincoln Park sound and that's what makes it tough for me to like accept it cuz there's there is no other band that like compares soundwise to Lincoln band that I could think of like what's the next minor yeah but like weren't yeah dude ████ but isn't it just Mike shenoda right it's just him right so and he's just rapping 10% trust or whatever yese yeah you know what funny like when when that first song came out like you would you would like it but part of me was

9:19 like ████ I hate that I like this song this song no remember the% 20% courage that that reminds me of the song I'm imagining Lincoln Park becoming less successful because of situations like yours oh I it's just a bunch of people singing the song in a a certain way and people hating it their interpretation they're like what's going on there was a point where where this friend of mine was dating one of them and I had dropped her off at his house yeah and I was like if I meet this guy I'm going tell him that 100% he didn't he didn't let me inside so do you think more people like her or more people dislike or dislike that move yeah I tried to read about the I tried to like look at comments it

10:09 feels like it's split it feels like it feels like it's split down the middle CU some people are also like she sounds amazing and some people are just happy that Lincoln Park is coming back and some people are just like oh they they're going to do they love Chester so much I think when you see the the thing if you think about it like this might have been what Chester would have preferred then you're not mad yeah yeah but if you just don't care and all you care about like if you're like kind of like a mild fan then you'll hate this of course you'll hate this when I heard it I was like know I think yeah it's hard cuz it's not like okay so think about the Unique Sounds of musicians like BG's or like oh yeah Fred dur right like Lim biscuit can you imagine Michael Jackson like cover like I mean he would probably do do a good job but they're so unique that that signature like Michael Jackson does

11:03 it I I recently saw uh black ey peas out in Kazakhstan right no way yeah and are you just bragging again big fan just bragging again can I just finish my ████ story you dick it's like dude I was watching ████ Gwen Stefan out in Persia yeah Persia is crazy how' you know I did that go ahead with your brag story go um brag and uh so they obviously had to replace Fergie so they replaced her with that one chick who maybe was on American Idol or something like that do you know what I'm talking about I don't know if she's Philip half Filipino black or something wait why did they have to replace Fergie cuz she not making she went solo right yeah she went solo but then she also like crapped out at the ████ national anthem that one time um but yeah she's just not in the group anymore who's that and uh this girl sounds similar enough but you're just

11:54 satisfied to hear the songs and be able to go to the concert you're not not judging the fact that it's not I don't know if she's Filipino but for sure black um J R Soul yeah but also Fergie is not the main flavor of the dish but she was huge to that Chester is the main flavor of the dish I get that kind black IP you think ████ Fergie and will I am like those are the main two people you think also Fergie was the new member too like if you remember all the songs had are ad I'm just saying like I was we people were happy to just hear the music so imagine like people who just want to hear Lincoln Park there might be something to I bet it is dope live though like when you're hearing that ████ but doesn't especially when you're traveling to Kazakhstan you're ripping on your friends cuz they can't go anywhere I wanted to go to Kazakhstan I heard bll rat's really popular out there

12:45 they hate that that that that's our perception of Kazakhstan they're like they didn't even film that in Kazakhstan there in Romania very nice I mean it looks cool and she looks good performing I would say that it looks actually like a cool setup I just it's just her song I think to your example song her singing a song that we don't know even though it's l my skin but dude hearing it with a Filipino accent seems like she's trying too hard too doesn't feel natural yeah oh she don't feel like she's in the pocket yet yeah maybe maybe it's her first performance she's nervous she's got big shoes to fill yeah for real that's true that's true you know I'm just I'm just I'm just hating because like whenever the main singer is gone it sounds like a cover band yeah or like an impersonator a Las Vegas impersonator sometimes the bands themselves sound like cover bands after

13:35 a few years we went to go see the Michael Jackson impersonator I was pretty happy but I knew it wasn't Michael you knew it wasn't him how I look close know life
