Hey everyone. Alright, I just recently started getting into Linkin Park, and while I only like about half of their songs, the half I do like I love. This is also my first real experience with listening to hard rock, or whatever genre you want to put them in.

I'm trying to find some other bands similar to their music, that is, stuff that just sounds excellent played extremely loud

. I've been listening to some, like Static X, but don't like their material too much.

Does anyone have any recommendations? If it helps, some of the songs I like from Linkin Park are Don't Stay, of course In the End & Somewhere I Belong, Faint, and Numb. If you have any recommendations, please list what you think are the best songs/album from that group also. Thanks

.

I like Figure.09 and Lying From You, but I don't really listen to stuff this soft

I do think that they ripped Faint's background violin sound from White Town's Your Women. Bloody bastards !!!

NO they did not. Your comment does piss me off, but I hope you are joking. I have the Limited Meteora with the Making of Meteora DVD that has a part where you see them having around 5-8 Violinists live recording the sound, and they explained the layering process to make the violins sound like a LOT of violins.

Linkin Park is proud to bring to peoples attention in the DVD that they create their own sounds and samples, so it is them making the music, not ripping it from old or different songs like those other crap artists out there.

Go with Rage Against the Machine's S/T.

yeah i bought both of their albums a couple of months back, it sounds the same, nothing really stands out. when i first listened to rage it really wanted to make me rebel haha but yeah my cousin reckons rage's albums all sound the same

Man, how can you even compare rage to linkin park. Rage is ****ing awsome and LP is whiney TRL rock.

 

[swenzke]

Thanks for the comments guys. And Pablo32, please keep your comments in another thread.

What do you like about Linkin Park? That might get you some more recommendations. From what I've heard on the radio (and from my neighbor's stereo last year), Linkin Park does a lot of things in their music, none particularly well.

I'll have to put in a plug for Dry Cell. They're on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, though they broke up (due to their parents whining at the record label), the few tracks that they did put out and are available are very good.

Similar to Linkin Park, i'd say. On some levels, even better than LP, they had potential, and it's sad to see them go

I only know of three tracks currently,

Brave, Body Crumbles, and I Confide

Body Crumbles has also a remixed version for a commercial or something and it kinda changes the meaning of the song and such.

Heh, I didn't realize there was a lot of dislike towards Linkin Park on this forum until I did a search. Maybe this wasn't a great place to post...

Anyway, I think I'm going to start with Rage Against the Machine and P.O.D. and see if they are what I'm looking for.

Thanks again for the advice.

Hey, I love Linkin Park. I've been a fan of their stuff since the start, I have all their stuff, including the B-Sides, EP and Underground 2.0 albums. They aren't the BEST group out there, but I support them.

Evanescence sounds identical to linkin park but with a female for vocals. There pretty good but its not fair to compare them to linkin park
