Linkin Park is what's wrong with America.
You don't know the half of it.
When they first came out, I got the CD for Christmas. I was like "hm. That one song isn't horrible, so.." and I listened to it. They sounded like some ****ed up mesh of Limp Bizkit [I feel ******ed for spelling it like that ], Stabbing Westward, and some fake-ass Slipknot cover band.
After I throughly put the fire out from that CD that I ignited using fingernail polish remover and paint thinner, I ended up going to one of the local benefit concerts* we had every year [Hampton Roads-I'm talking about Lunatic Luau], and they weren't headlining, but they were playing close to the end that year. I was like, "Okay, the CD was crap, but maybe they have a good show?".
I had never been more wrong about anything, ever.
*or, it might have been Ozzfest/Off-fest, I don't remember which came first that year.
