This is why I think they chose the Spray Paint-theme. Linkin Park have taken a lot of sh*t over the past 2 years for being a 'pop' band, and for creating Reanimation. Now if you notice, it seems none of this really bothers or gets to Linkin Park, they just simply say 'we're not a pop band' or 'we made it because we wanted it to'. So what i'm getting at, love them or hate them, Linkin Park are leaving their mark on the music industry while "blocking out"(in a sence) all the sh*t they get from critics and other people. Now how does this work in with the spray paint theme? When you spray paint something, your leaving your mark in that particular area. As are Linkin Park in the music industry. And the gas mask represents them keeping out all the "fumes"(critics, etc.) while leaving their mark. Thats why I think they picked it. Feel free to leave your comments on why you think they chose that theme
OR JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK SPRAYPAINT AND GAS MASKS ARE A COOL THEME.....EVER THINK OF THAT....THERE IS NOT ALWAYS A MEANING BEHIND EVERYTHING...IM SURE LP DIDNT SIT DOWN AND GO..."O IF WE USE THIS THEME, THEN PEOPLE WILL THINK THAT WE ARE SPRAYPAITING OUR MARK"..NAH IT IS JSUT COOL THATS WHY THEY USED IT
Or maybe because of what I just explained, ever think of that? Usually when bands pick something, it means something. Linkin Park are a very intelectual group and I dont think they would just pick something because its cool, I think they have a meaning behind it. And while I was watching the Reanimation DVD-Audio I watched making of Pts.Of.Athrty and Joe said he even has a meaning behind that, and if theres a meaning behind that, theres probably a meaning behind the Meteora cover. Dont type in all caps, consider this your first warning.
I'll have to agree with Bryan on this one, but Omar is right, it's a paintmask, not a gasmask, hehe. Good show.
Ok, how stupid is that warn me because I type in all caps...honestly that has to be the dumbest thing i have ever read.!!!!!!!!!!!
jezus christ man.. chill al lil' bit.. you were also pissed off when i said HYBRIF instead of HYBRID its not the end of the world you know.. B) nice theory from chestern76
It is a very interesting thought. I mean LP is a very deep band. Usually as creative as they are, i don't think they are gonna make something cause its cool. I think that they have a meaning behind almost anything they produce cause they are deep. So yah Chester 76 very interesting thought. Even if your not right there is still gonna be some kinda meaning instead of it just being cool.
Maybe it does have a point and maybe it doesnt, I mean is there a point to there asian like font? It could be cause its cool it could have a point, but I doubt they would do all just for that but it does make sence.
Interesting thought, indeed I don't get it. All of you here try and break them down piece by piece to try to understand what they're thinking when they use something. How do you know they aren't just using it because they feel like it? The gasmask was before LP started beign critizised by others, it's in the booklet for Hybrid Theory, so how is the gasmask filtering out the sh*t they've taken when they weren't taking any #### when they created it. Why can't you just be like "cool, spray paint theme, it's pretty awesome" not try and break it down to get inside their heads, when what YOU think their trying to say, they aren't saying. It's like puns, they come a lot when you don't intend to cause them. Their "leaving their mark"? What band DOESN'T leave a mark? Any band that's popular leaves their mark on the music industry, so that once again, makes no sence. Or maybe because of what I just explained, ever think of that? Usually when bands pick something, it means something. Linkin Park are a very intelectual group and I dont think they would just pick something because its cool, I think they have a meaning behind it. And while I was watching the Reanimation DVD-Audio I watched making of Pts.Of.Athrty and Joe said he even has a meaning behind that, and if theres a meaning behind that, theres probably a meaning behind the Meteora cover. Dont type in all caps, consider this your first warning. [/quote] You're giving a warning for typing in all caps? Thats the sh*ttiest warning I've ever seen given. Any other sh*t rules here? Are there any ones that actually make sence, ike no cursing, spamming, flaming, double posting, or do they just include no caps-lock? If you wanna give out warnings for caps lock usage, why not give out warnings for idiotic posts that you have to think like a kintergardener to understand?
yea, very cool theory and i think there is a meaning behind it. Like most of you have said already, Linkin Park usually doesnt do something just because it is cool. oh, and i havent been on the boreds for a while, but heres a point... I KNEW IT! woohoo! i proved you all wrong! none of you have ever heard of me before, but i proved you all wrong. a long time ago on the bordes it says"symbol for new album" and it says"first slodiers, then robots, next, i think it will be mutants" well i proved you wrong! hA! sry,,,but like i said, just think for a moment... the soldier was an idea for Hybrid Theory. The only reason they had a bot was because it was a REmix. just saying my point to get it across, anyway, cool theory, i think it might be right :chaz: :chemist: :'( :x :x :x :x

[/quote] Why do I try to come up with an idea of what LP are thinking? Because i'm a true fan, and thats what I like doing. I like to know what Linkin Park are thinking behind what they do. And yes, sometimes we give warnings for typing in all caps. Doing so makes you look almost as un-intelligent as someone who typs lk ths al te tme. And its extremly annoying. So dont do it.
hey Chester 76, if it helps dude, i'm feeling your opinion. i don't really like when you guys form your own theories of #### like the concept of somewhere i belong and bullshit like that because they're usually retarded, but this one is very original. BUT, linkin park have done things just for the hell of things. "frat party at the pancake festival" i'm sure has no deep meaning. how do i know this? i heard mike talk (on rockline) about it being a random title chester picked . also, the name "linkin park" is completely random. chester saw it one day and said that if they used that name, everyone would think they're local wherever they went since so many lincoln parks' exist in the united states. they wanted not the name to defy the band, but their music. but other than that, your theory is very thoughtful. awesome job!!! :chaz:
