Written nicely Like the song very much. After the death of Chester I could not quite look at it yet. It hurts...
It would be easier to get Castle of Glass or What I've Done to 1 Billion views as they arelate the videos with the most views both over 200k
I'm just going to say that I can't agree. It might get a good amount of views but I don't think it will ever get close to 1 Billion. My guess is it doesn't even pass What I've Done for their most watched video. We will have to see though.
The video was trending during the first couple of days after Chester died. Now is still growing but not at the same pace. I even think that maybe in the end Heavy will have more views than Talking To Myself.
Watching the video -- even after a week -- doesn't make me sad. It reinforces why I love LP. They speak for me and kick ass in the process.
Please upload the images again, I can't see them. Anyway, talking about the views of Heavy and Talking To Myself I wish they can surpass 100 Million views soon and hopefully Numb can get to 1 Billion by the end of 2017 or next year. Yes, I remember being in Prague and lookin for the videos that were trending on the Czech Youtube and Talking To Myself was number one for more than a week if I'm not mistaken and the Czech Spotify top 50 had 14 or 15 LP songs after Chester passed away, it was something massive there
I really find it annoying that people only turned to LP after Chester passed away. Still I found it great that the albums sales rose a lot and many songs were on Spotify Top 200 last week. In many countries OML came back strong to the charts and the same did HT and Meteora with MTM, LT and THP coming back to may charts but with less impact. I know it's a way to pay a tribute to the Chester as a person and as a singer, but I feel like people only remember music legends after they pass away. Heavy could have been at 100 Million already. I think Linkin Park never gets the global recognition they deserve because people prefer fast food music like DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber and so on, meaningless songs, just catchy and nothing else. Pop music can be good if the songs have meaning, but nowadays they don't. Back in the 2000s we had some pop, pop-rock or pop-punk songs that did just that and some examples of that are: She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5, Complicated, I'm with You, My Happy Ending, Nobody's Home, When You're Gone, Keep Holding On and I Will Be by Avril Lavigne. There's also Keane and the songs Somewhere Only We Know, Everybody's Changing, Bedshaped, Is It Any Wonder?, Nothing In My Way and The Lovers Are Losing. Many more examples like The Fray and the song How To Save A Life, Hoobastank and the song The Reason, Alanis Morisette and the songs Hands Clean, Everything and Eight Easy Steps and also The Calling and the song Wherever You Will Go. Those are many examples of meaningful songs and some were big pop, pop-rock and pop-punk hits.
Well, that's always a question of opinion. While the critics aren't loud these days for obvious reasons, Linkin Park has always been widely regarded as meaningless mainstream music oder pop metal. In fact, few people would actually say decent music is winning again when Linkin Parks is doing well in charts. On the other topic I'm gonna say is that LP has always been a 2000-2004 phenomenon to most people and when Chester died, many people remembered that time, went back there and kept up his legacy. I think that's fine. Not everyone can be a die-hard fan. I'm not judging them.
Hmm I don't really agree with this. In the sense that I don't think they should wait a few days and then tell people (if TMZ hadn't come out with the news). I feel like when somebody dies, people should be notified as soon as possible. Even the fans in this case. It's the respectful thing to do imo. I'm not defending TMZ in this btw.
I can't sgree. It does matter how someone dies or who reports the death, but people should be notified as soon as possible. I have nothing against TMZ personally and in this case TMZ reporting the death was 100% what needed to happen and justified. People need to know sooner rather than later. No point in sugar coating it.
So, they fixed the video and now it doesn't cut off at Brad's guitar playing, the whole song plays out. The last shot hurts so bad.
I don't know if YouTube has an in-built editing suite but I'd say they just replaced the video with a fixed version
Not for regular users, but for the biggest band in the world with the support of a major label ... yeah it's possible.
