Omg

Guys you are really just complaining because its the only thing you can do right....

Come on so you are saying that a band that actually composes their music and writes their lyrics sucks, how atupid.

So yeah turn the radio up and listen to some of your fergie and gwen steffani and some sh*t like that.

Those artists don't even know what they are singing.
 
How about "The Mars Volta"?
I would say they "think different" at least...

While I'm a huge fan of TMV and not so much of Linkin Park, I think TMV would be an even worse choice than LP for an Apple event. Their live shows certainly are "different" and I doubt many people would be too big of a fan of 10-15min long solos they usually have during their liveset.
 
I seriously think that the point to the whole rumor being posted on MR is being missed. It's not that Linkin Park is playing, or whether or not they are good. This is lending (some) credibility to the rumor that Apple's hosting an end-of-February event. That's all it was meant to do. Let's not drag personal taste into this and make it a 200 page flame war.
 
If I remember correctly, Steve Jobs recently played a Linkin Park music video at Macworld for the AppleTV demo I think. Not sure.
 
Did anyone consider this might be something like the live concert Apple is doing in the UK?

The Echo quote doesn't have any dates associated with it, they could be talking about a show 6 months from now.

At least the artist in question is not 50 cent. That thread was an ordeal.

Lol! I can't wait for new MBPs... this is getting more like the "PowerBooks G5 next tuesday" rants.

Btw, Simian Mobile Disco did a great performance at soho:p
 
i don't mind linkin park. It seems as if apple is trying to get more "hip" bands. instead of these old farts to attract more the youth...
 
try this again....

People! You are all missing the real point here. I have 3 simple words....
Special Edition shuffle
I'll probably get sued for posting this, but here's a banner ad for it which I got from a solid insider contact (that is a very, very high positioned Apple executive which will go nameless).

geez people! just because they wont be playing techno or classical doesnt mean they suck. linkin park is a decent band.
 
Least Linkin Park could have dones was to have outed some Apple product (Look at the MacBook Air).
Roll on Tuesday.

Edit: Lol - the Special Shuffle Edition of Linkin park and Nu metal rock music. I like the concept. You can't sell them as gifts for work employees for corporations I guess...

Techno produced live on a MBP with a laser show... *drools*... hehe
Nah, a techno show (although it would be cool) wouldn't work well either.
All I care about is whether they release the MBP finally...

Someone like System F (my personal favorite) or Judge Jules would be great. :D
 
I gotta say that I do personally like Linkin Park, some of their music is amazing, but I will agree they're musical talent isn't exactly up their with the greats. I just find them fun to listen to when I'm in the mood, you know?

And secondly, Linkin Park has been in with Apple for a long time now. Their DJ, Mr Hahn has used Macbook Pros exclusively for triggering samples, loops, Vinyl controllers etc etc. ever since I can remember, and every song they've ever recorded has been on a Mac, when either in the studio or at each member's "home studio" (Mike has pointed this out on numerous occasions)

And yes, I realise I know WAAAY too much about Linkin Park, haha. I just digg their sound & am a studio engineer so I have to research into these things :)
 
In all seriousness, who cares? I mean Linkin Park does suck, but so does John Mayer and just about every musician Apple trots out there for these events. Just show me the damn products already.

Good to remember that (as we say it in Norway):

taste is like a butt; divided ;c)
 
The main point is that this supports the rumors of an upcoming event, not specifics about the band...

which is ironic considering the main points raised on this thread are whether people like the band (!!!!!!!?????) and not what event could it be and why would they have that style of band for it.

I always read these threads hoping they stay on topic but they never do.

main questions it may raise I think are - what date could it be if they're performing at it?

and

what products would they have any possible relevance to that could be announced?

likelihood of apple announcing a linkin park mac mini/macbook pro special edition? - please can someone create a mock up of this, that would be funny.
