NOT SO POLITELY CONTESTING A CLAIM BY LINKIN PARK’S MIKE SHINODA

Monday, January 25th, 2010 at 3:30pm by

Mike Shitnoda, the ugly Backstreet Boy wannabe who raps for Suckin Suck, recently gave an interview to MTV discussing the band’s follow-up to their last album, Farting Right in Iron Maiden’s Eye Socket. Here are two statements Shitnoda made during that interview that I find fascinating. And by “fascinating,” I mean “delusional.”

“It’s been going great, I feel like it’s an entirely different process and an entirely different style of music than anything we’ve done before. It’s hard to place. People keep asking me, ‘What does it sound like?’ and it’s hard to describe.”

No, it’s not hard to describe, Mikey. It’s going to sound exactly like every other Suckin Suck song ever written. Because all your songs sound exactly the same as that initial shitty song which made you famous. This isn’t my opinion. This is a fact. People have scientifically proven that all that your songs are the same. One dude even made a video about it. Look:

Okay, so clearly you’re full of shit, Mikey.

And yet Shitnoda continues with a straight face:

“When people hear it, they’re going to have a tough time saying that it falls into a category.”

They’re not going to have a touch time saying that it falls into a category, Mikey. It’s going to fall into the same category as every other Suckin Suck album. This category:

You can find it in aisle six.

Asswipe.

    Maybe it’s just me, but I think that Farting Right in Iron Maiden’s Eye Socket would be an awesome name for an album.

    • SourDeez

      A grindcore album, for sure.

      • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

        Y’know, that was exactly what I was thinking. Some enterprising you grind band needs to jump on this shit pronto.

          If I didn’t love Iron Maiden as much as I do, I would do this.

    Oh thats funny!! Half the reason i cant stomach the radio anymore. Constantly changing the stations and just end up on talk radio. Not can let them force feed me this crap like the sheeple.

  • Jim

    Acually, all of their songs DON’T sound the same. Maybe their older songs did, but nowadays they’re too busy being Nickelback wannabes and writing songs for godawful movies. A band who wasn’t that great in the first place sold out, go figure.

    • stu1

      They have 2 songs.

      • Jall

        hahaha, yeah they definitely don’t have more than 2 songs.

  • timmah

    Not to mention that both “Faint” and “From the Inside” share the EXACT SAME chorus chord progression.

    On the same album.

    GENIUS!

  • Bicro

    Whoooooooooo bets that their next single will be in the next Twilight movie?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

      It’ll be the theme song for Transformers, another bloated shit-fest that the masses LOVE.

      • Dimebag6sic6

        Transformers is badass. The movie’s plot sucks but seriously giant transforming talking alien robots? whats not to love?

        • Kye

          What’s not to love?

          I’ll just hope that you’re referring to Transformers in general and not the piece of shit movies that Linkin Park releases songs for.

          • SourDeez

            Yeah, those movies take a big festering shit all over everything that was great about the original transformers cartoons.

        • Xeros612

          The original 80s movie? That was good. The new ones that I get the feeling half the popularity is caused by Megan Fox’s existence? Not even the prospect of sentient metallic beings with transforming capabilities can save that.

      • Bicro

        Transformers was boring, IMO.

  • drunkwithpower

    I hate this band as much as the next person, but a lot of songs have the same chord progressions and it’s not really fair to bash them on that alone. It’s not like they’re good other than that, they suck all around.

    If you can’t tell the difference between old and new Linkin Park I think it’s quite clearly you who’s delusional. Not that I’m defending them or anything, in fact they’d probably have been better off if they had just kept writing shit that sounded the same, since that was all they were ever any good at.

    • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

      Their new album did sound pretty different from their old stuff. It wasn’t necessarily any better, though. And WTF was up with all the hand claps in all of the songs on their last album? I’m pretty sure every song had people clapping in rhythm in the background.

      • Jall

        the clapping is so the songs are good for their audience – they can only get shows at bingo nights where they at least get the satisfaction of having half dead humans coming up and saying “oh.. so that is what young kids are listening to these days” so they need some audience participation. Then after shows they can relate to old-timers long, boring-ass, repetitive stories because they do the same thing, only in the form of music.

  • Lorenzo

    I don’t think they can hear you what with them swimming around in their mansions made entirely out of money while they have giant orgies with nothing but super models with giant aparthied diamonds for nipples while midgets fan their naked asses with Monet paintings.

  • Tonberry

    When I had short hair, people said that I look like this dude or that dicknose from Hoobastank. Both of them look like fetal pigs. I am very sexy.

    This one still gets me, fuck this shitty band.

    Stop.

    Everybody here seems to have listened to their last album… disturbing…

    • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

      I gave it a listen when it last came out. It was shite.

  • William Grimmkvlt

    The only thing more annoying than Linkin Park is having to look at Eric Clapton’s jowls in those fucking banner ads every time I come here.

  • http://www.fatelessempire.ca/ Kevin Halsted

    Wow, you hate a band that its cool to hate. Yeah, your right Minutes to Midnight sucked, but there very first album was interesting. The second was part two of the first, because the label and the band wanted money, but get over it. What I think your missing with your all too immature rip on a radio rock band is that this is the kind of band that opens the doors to little kids. I remember being 12 and actually feeling something to music that wasn’t pop and what do ya know, It led me to Metallica, then to Slayer then to Lamb of God and now I’m a metal musician. So honestly, even if you hate them, respect the fact that they were a good band for young kids to start on. Now its Atreyu or Bullet, who I hate as much as the next guy but if a kids listening to something that isn’t madonna or brittney, then cheer the fuck up, Everyones gotta start somewhere and its NEVER gonna be a Cannibal Corpse or Immortal. Honestly, open your eyes. This overly pop saturated world has one thing that works for it and you dis on them. Grow up for this is what feeds our future generation of metalheads, like it or not.

        It was the same for me, I HATED metal, I couldn’t stand it, but then I listened to Linkin Park, no it’s not metal but it bridges the gap, it gets kids started on the right course. From there I went on to Slipknot and now years later I’m listening to Keep of Kalessin, The Haunted, Dark Fortress, Moonspell and Sigh. There’s no instant way of getting to that point, it’s a process. If our music was easy to get into and didn’t require this development then it would be exactly the mainstream bullshit that we all hate.

        This just seemed like a pretty immature post to me.

    I loved Linkin Park when they made made Hybrid Theory. I stopped listening to them when Minutes to Midnight was released. I do agree that some of their songs sound exactly the same but not all of them do. Besides to me Linkin Park is one of those bands who I think are just fun to listen to and not care about them as much as I did back then in 3rd grade.

  • BJ Scarberry

    Agreed. Linkin Park may put out similar records and have the same cliche “loud rock chorus/hip hop verse with palm muted guitar parts and electronic sequenced song writing formula”, but I still enjoyed Hybrid Theory & Meteora when they topped the charts. But let’s get to the dirt of this: Would you prefer bands like Hinder and Boys Like Schmucks [see? anybody can terribly berate a band's name] dominating the radio mainstream or would you actually settle for bands that actually have a diverse sound. Don’t get me wrong, as I’ve grown up and matured in my musical taste, I look back and go “What were they thinking of?” and their talent may be next to known. But that still doesn’t change the fact that they have platinum albums and more money than all of us. Plus they did a mix up album with the Hova. Chyeah. Who’s up for Necrophaghist & Ludacris? Game.

      That just means there are a few million idiots with money.

  • xxins8nexx

    lol whoever posted this hates way too much fucking. i don’t like LP anymore but youre entire post is full of shit talking. grow the fuck up closed minded elitist metalhead.

  • Anselmowitz

    Loved this post, this band is seriously fucking lame, I can understand liking shit bands sold to you as a kid but Linkin Park is some serious wank shit, they are an assembled “metal boy band” with a corporate agenda to exploit, make money & lower standards, the only thing worst is people defending them….serious eating-dog-shit-off-the-street lame.

  • http://fantasyh.wordpress.com fantasyh

    I’m not ashamed to say that Linkin Park is a guilty pleasure of mine. I loved that shit to bits in the Hybrid Theory/Meteora days, and to this day I listen to metal as well as some rap (KRS-One FTW), but damn. After Minutes to Midnight I have a hard beliving a word those fuckers let out of their mouths. I mean – I don’t have anything against them trying a different sound (sic) but breaking the formula that made this band enjoyable (and nothing beyond that) was the stupidest move they could have made. If you don’t and won’t excell at what you’re doing, just stick to what you know.

  • your idol

    holy shit Axl, funny stuff.

  • NoNameNoSlogan

    This may be the best post in the history of MetalSucks.net.

  • I killed a Dunky

    I must admit that their Remix Album was really good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reanimation, I think if not da best mainstream Remix Album from a Rock Band I’ve heard till today any doubt???

  • Edika

    Actually like this their songs are more interesting (sic)

  • hi my name is mark

    I will be the first to admit, I enjoyed LP’s first two albums. When I heard “QWERTY” (the song they debuted in 2006), I was hoping that was the direction they would be taking. But I was turned off after hearing Minutes to Midnight, they tried to sound like U2 and came off sounding awkward, disjointed and out of place.

  • Sammy

    Axl, let me get this straight, because I am not sure I’m following you. So, you don’t like Linkin Park, is that it?

  • Sammy

    And just to make your day, during the ’00 decade, no single band or musical artist sold more albums than Linkin Park. Wrap your head around THAT. You just saw your life flash in front of you, didn’t you?

  • http://www.myspace.com/badkarma619 Alan

    I gotta say, “Given Up” breaks their pre-cooked formula, though not by much. It’s probably their best song, and it’s still a pedantic romp through cliched angst, so fuck them anyways, especially Mike Shinoda.

    Admittedly, I dug Hybrid Theory when it came out. Joe Hahn knows his way around a turntable.

  • Craig MAC

    Let’s set something straight from the get go – I’m not a big Linkin Park fan! I am a true METAL fan, but with that being said – the only person delusional here is METAL SUCKS – you don’t go multi-platinum on every single album you make by making shitty music or having every album sound the same, but that’s the problem with this website, if it sells you hate it! I’M OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THIS STUPID ASS WEBSITE, VIAYA CON DIOS MUTHER FUCKERS!
