It’s amazing to hear them play. Their songs, the beats that comes from it, Chester’s voice, Mike’s raps, Rob’s drumming’, Brad’s strumming, Joe’s scratching’ and Phoenix’s bass – they are the epitome of what I call music sensation.
What set’s them so different is that how they experiment their music, and try to evolve. I’ve been listening to them since their Hybrid Theory days, still got their cassette, and I like where they are going now. Some people laments that their music does not connect to the fans anymore. I digress. It connects in many ways that the normal way we think it would. The band, to me, is trying to connect their world and their perspective to the fan. They make it more gratifying to with their music.
Their music has come long ways, and it never bores me. It has been together wit me in good and bad days of my life, and it gives me strength in times in need. I wish I could one day go to their concert and see them with own eyes. It’s been a long time wish, I always had to do something during their concert. I await the day I’d go to their concert.
I just re-watched the Road to Revolution, Live at Milton Keynes 2008 concert, and I must say: IT’S FUCKING AWESOME. Especially Part 2 of it. Man, I love how No More Sorrow starts. It starts so subtle, then changing into a more clearer and defined sound, and then it goes up and up with a hefty beat, caching up to the climax, and bam, Chester comes in.
No one can beat them in term of showmanship, as far as I know. I know for sure the band is a talented one. Seeing them play, their dedication, its like an art by itself. I t always gives me inspiration to do something. I wish all the best for the band. I await their next album.
And I hope I can hear more from Joe Hahn. I wish he could do something like Daft Punk kinda thing.
