Linkin Park‘s reunion has been hectic over the past few days. The group announced Emily Armstrong as their new vocalist (which caused quite a stir) is next to it new record and some tour datesand also addressed why original drummer Rob Bourdon not part of things. Linkin Park would then go on to identify that original guitarist Brad Delson I won’t be touring with the bandbut would remain active behind the scenes.
So, new lineup, new music, tour dates, all that, but why come back? Linkin Park? Why not revive the old? Xero: name or return as another group? By: Linkin Parkof Mike Shinoda in an interview with Q101:it just felt right to come back as Linkin Park.
“In the middle of the process, we were open to, like, maybe the lineup is like a moving lineup, maybe there’s multiple vocalists, maybe it’s a different name, things like that,” he said. Shinoda. “And then when the music came into focus, we said Linkin Park album as we could make it. That’s right Linkin Park that if we call it something else, then we are idiots.’ Because that would be like a misrepresentation. It would be stupid. And when people hear more of the album, they’ll understand that.”
