mike shinoda back up vocals

it says in the style section that mike does all the backup vocals live. that's almost true but phoenix sings in the little things give you away, so i don't know if that's significant enough to mention, but just saying it's not 100% accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.105.242 (talk) 02:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rap metal

Linkin Park is a Rap metal band not a Rap rock band. It's called rap rock if rock and hip hop is mixed together but Linkin Park mixes metal and hip hop so then it's a Rap metal band. --Alice Mudgardens (talk) 22:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rap Metal is better known as rapcore. Hence, why there is no real rap metal article. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 23:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'm not sure why someone changed it to Rap Rock in the first place.... I changed it back to Rapcore to avoid the redirect. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 00:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I changed it to Rap rock, because until literally today, Rapcore was a redirect] to Rap rock. It was reversed a few hours ago by an anon. I generally prefer the term "Rap rock", because it's a more general term. Rapcore, at least in my interpretation, is rap rock with hardcore punk influences, making it a subgenre. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Parsecboy (talk) 02:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why does Rap rock article seem like it should actually be called Rapcore? O_o Meh, I'll leave that for someone else to figure out while I continue to add subtle black metal references to articles. Good Day --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 10:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who has changed it back to rap rock when it should be rap metal. --Alice Mudgardens (talk) 21:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't change it, but I did look up the difference between the 2 just out of curiousity. According to our lovely Wikipedia, rap rock and rap metal quite often categorize the same genre of music. If you type rap metal into the search box it automatically diverts you to rap metal so I would venture to say they are interchangeable. My underlying point is this, is this a battle that should be fought? Look at it this way, at least someone didn't change it to emo...ugh.--Sashall08 (talk) 09:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Their more recent work would be classified as rap rock, not rap metal, which is a sub-genre of rap rock. Therefore, it's best to use the broadest terms to describe them. Parsecboy (talk) 14:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Live in SoHo EP

Shouldn't we include the iTunes exlcusive: Live in SoHo EP? RafaeldKsonic (talk) 12:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Projekt Revolution

Shouldn't we include their live album projekt revolution.--Wellwater Conspiracy (talk) 00:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old V.S. New

They should compare and contrast them when they first started and now. They should also explain the many fans were dissapointed when their new album came out. A lot of people at my school complained about Minutes To Midnight. Grcaphistory (talk) 14:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Wikipedia is factual, not opinionated. The only opinions that count are from critics, which were pretty mixed. So there is no reason to mention that some people don't like the album.

Rapcore

Why don't we have rapcore instead og rap rock. Rap rock only means when rap is mixed with rock and rap metal is the same just with metal. When you say rapcore you are talking about both the genres. --Wellwater Conspiracy (talk) 20:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See #Rap metal, above. There's an additional explanation here.--  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  21:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because rapcore tends to be associated with hardcore punk, hence the "core" in the name. Linkin Park is not hardcore punk, so Rap rock is better. Also, it's a broader genre, which is better for infoboxes. Parsecboy (talk) 22:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awards

I Have listed all of Linkin Parks awards. Should we have this in the article. --Wellwater Conspiracy (talk) 09:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the sources is on english wikipedia. If know on answears im puting this on the LP page

It's highly unorthodox to have entire sections devoted just to awards on Wikipedia articles - especially when almost all of them - except for Grammy awards are not that notable. Also, I'm removing the reward section from the talk page - It's still going to be stored in the history if you need it for anything. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  15:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Pearl Jam article has a big award section and Soundgarden has the same. So why can't Linkin Park have one. --Wellwater Conspiracy (talk) 16:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Pear Jam article only lists notable American awards and nominations, which are appropriately formated and referenced. Given there is an FA-status article that has this, I do not really see any harm in adding it. Just make sure it has references and looks somewhat presentable. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  16:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They won the 2007 MTA EMA award for best band... RafaeldKsonic (talk) 09:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're going to need another reference as well, The "<ref name="TMF Awards">" reference is overburdened, as the latter links to it in the reference section are not working properly (see 'x, y z'). --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  03:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

I changed the rap rock genre to rapcore/rap metal/rap rock because all of these genres are the same genres and are linked to the same page. --Wellwater Conspiracy (talk) 17:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no point to link three things that just re-direct to the same page. :p --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  20:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from another website

On muzizinfo.com's article on Linkin Park, I noticed this entire artcile on wikipedia has been copied from here http://www.musizinfo.com/search/label/Linkin%20Park —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.62.34.236 (talk) 21:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Copied it from us; I know for a fact that most of this article was hand-written by other editors. Look at the other band profiles on the sites, they have been taken word for word from other Wikipedia articles. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  22:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
