Well it's never gonna be the same but I think she sounds good without trying to fully imitate Chester. I did catch them in their pomp just after Meteroa was released so I'm happy with that.

Ruined The new single is full of lyrics that pretty much only make sense in the context of her criticising Scientology. She may have been part of that cult at one point, but there is a chance she isn't anymore. The Emptiness Machine seems to be all about Scientology and their E-Meter. A fake device that is used to read a persons "Thetan levels". How do they read these? By getting their members to confess their sins, to empty everything they hold deep inside. Eventually the person passes the test, but the purpose of the test is to learn every dark secret, every trauma, and whatever else about the person so they have power over them. The lyrics seem to be all from the perspective of someone that is now "free" of the cult and regrets ever joining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't heard of Gryff Rees (Super Furries), Richard Hawley (Longpigs), Latitia Sadier (Stereolab), and Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral) your knowledge of music is very limited being as all have been in rather well known bands and have had extensive solo careers since leaving those bands. Slowdive are one of the original shoegaze bands Yo La Tengo have been going forever and have an extensive back catalogue, last album was superb Sleater Kinney? You really claiming you've never heard of Baxter Dury? If you haven't heard of Ty Segall you've never read many music posts here It's also got an awful lot of up and coming, potentially much bigger bands like English teacher and Big Special. Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan is the current king of ambient electronica. House of All are all ex-members of different periods of The Fall and are ace. Its a really good line up. I'd have conflicts of scheduling all over the place Christ, even I've heard of several of those acts. TBF, it's mostly a case of heard OF, rather than heard, but even so. And surely Richard Hawley is pretty mainstream? I've got albums by him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 6 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6 I watched a bit of the Linkin Park gig last night and thought Emily Armstrong suits the band really well. Probably about as good as you can get without somehow bringing Chester back alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THATS as good as you can get without chester...should've just brought their guy in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id you want to see the old LP then yes go see Hybrid Theory but the band has had no option but to move on if they were going to continue. Going to give it time, first time performing in front of over expectant fans is going to be as hard as it comes I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted a clone then he had countless options including Bobby Amaru (of Saliva) who Mike has worked with in the past. You can look up 'Lying From You' or 'Given Up' by Bobby Amaru to see him basically nail the songs as a Chester soundalike in YouTube Shorts. 'Given Up' specifically sounds identical to Chester if you close your eyes. Mike didn't want that. Chester is dead, he's gone, and he wanted someone different. Emily Armstrong is someone different and they're working with her for the albums the band will make in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William DuVall is flippin great, but he is not Layne Staley. I'm happy both bands continue though and hopefully record more new material to let the singers shine without the cross to bear of their former frontmen. Still enjoy AIC Edited September 7 by Tegis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
