First Time Hearing "ONE STEP CLOSER" by Linkin Park

- čas přidán 16. 01. 2023
- I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here.
Let me know if ya'll want a CZcams livestream! Full album reaction and review of "Hybrid Theory." My homies Shayan and Jon tell me it's full of bangers. LMK if you'd pull up to watch!
I wanna do a Rage Against the Machine livestream too. Ya'll can pick the album. That could be this Sunday!
Rob if you can,I think live streams would be best during doing weekday nights. Usually that a great time for live streams cause everyone is just chilling relaxing after work and wants to watch something. Weekends usually a lot of people are out and about so less people to watch the stream
Defintely, you gotta listen to the reanimation version of hybrid theory has more hiphop an rap.
hybrid theory and meteora are MUST LISTENS!!
You should do the Linkin Park/Jay Z mashup album. This song is mashed up with 99 Problems.
Def check out Hybrid Theory, but it might be worth pointing out they have a 30-min album with Jay-Z called "Collision Course".
It's a bunch of Jay-Z songs mashed up with Hybrid Theory songs.
They even did live shows together. Numb/encore even ended up winning a grammy IIRC
Mate you're fucking spot on with the bit about high school. Being an angry little white teenager in the 2000s when this music was coming out, it like, spoke directly to your soul. Felt like they really knew what you were going through. That's what they tapped into, and that's why some of us have such a deep connection to it.
Lol so true. I just broke up with my gf during that time and Linkin Park was my life’s theme song 😂
@@HypocritesExposdexactly why this shi is goated. Relates to all the abuse hardship struggle and so much more. Makes me feel free
this is definitely a full album to listen to.
Possibly my favorite album of all time.
Love the album, still think Meteora is a better one.
@@Tarkamkrest i think Meteora has some better tracks but there a couple I skip. I don't think there are any in Hybrid Theory
10/10 no skips
I think the only skip in meteora to me is nobodys listening and on hybrid theory, you may hate me for it, a place for my head. Overall id say i like meteora more just because i love the whole catalog from foreword to from the inside. Numb is interesting here since i would rate it as a really great song but ive heard it too often by now, same goes pretty much for in the end. Yeah idk i dont wanna really rank one album above another here but for me i can bond better with meteora than i can with ht since it fits my situation and “personality“ better
RIP to the lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester. Man will forever be a legend
Yeah, his and Chris Cornell's suicides really tore me up because I thought they were brilliant musicians that were taken from us way to soon.
@@osutuba they weren’t “taken.” They exited when they were meant to. That goes for us all. They did precisely what they had to do and left when they were meant to. No one “took” them.
@@solomoon3083 thats a fucked way of looking at suicide. "oh they were meant to die right now". no. no one is "meant" to die at any time. or "meant" to do anything. they died young, through tragedy.
@@solomoon3083 they "took" themselves. no one is supposed to commit suicide, they're supposed to live through it with a story to tell and be known for someone who succumbed their illness. not someone who was taken by it. i hope to God in these past months you've reevaluated your perspective on things, cause that's fucked.
@@Choryrth XD
This song gave words to how people going through Depression and Suicidal Ideations felt on a daily basis struggling with their mental health. Nowadays help is much more easily accessed, when this song came out, it wasn't as easy. People were told that they were just being dramatic or faking for attention, especially if they were younger. Many people still had the terrible idea that only "crazy" people went to therapy or took meds, so the landscape for mental health wasn't where it's at now. These misconceptions about mental illness still exist today, but not in the capacity they used to. Music like this gave a small sense of "I am understood, I am not alone" to those of us just trying to stay alive.
exactly THIS! Linkin park helped me get through my childhood abuse when I felt no one believed me.
@@laelakarimi You too huh? I hope you doing much better now!
"I could see a dragon ball z fight while this music is playing" 10000%
Linkin Park must be top 3 artists picked for AMV back in the day.
I remember going to anime conventions, and rules for the amv contest had specifically - "No DBZ - In the end videos" it...was an epidemic lmao
I think they still might be lol
@@Tarkamkrest 😂😂😂😂😂 I get so bored watching DBZ AMV after DBZ AMV. But people can set their vids to Linkin Park as much as they want and I'm down lol
Gohan going SS2 first time 😂 was def the anime I was into during that era lol
That’s legit a core memory of mine. I saw a dragon ball AMV as a kid, maybe 10 or 11, and it had “no more sorrow” in the background, I thought it was the most badass video of all time
I owe my life to Linkin Park. While I was in the darkest places in my life LP was an outlet of frustration and understanding. Their music let me know I wasn't the only one in the black and thinking of The Edge. While the fans couldn't help Chester, he helped THOUSANDS of us.
Same here. I can honestly say they helped keep me here back then. Chester, man. Miss him like I knew him personally. Wish we able to helped him.
I’ve listened to LINKIN PARK since I was a teen, and I continued to listen to them throughout their entire career. There’s certainly some albums I liked better than others. Chester passed away in 2017, and a few months later my wife passed away that year too. We were high school, sweethearts, and thinking back I had started listening to the band around the same year we got together. LINKIN PARK and also Mike Shinodas solo album, post traumatic, basically got me through the first couple years after she passed. One more light hits so hard for me. Which is kind of ironic because they were instrumental in helping me through my teen years too.
Chester Bennington is the lead singer. He is legendary for his vocal fry (screaming type of vocals). Mike Shinoda is the rapper/guitarist in the band. They have other songs where Mike sings/raps the verses and Chester sings the chorus. I think the best song to hear the extent of Chester's voice is Given Up (Live at Milton Keynes), and for Mike's rapping I'd recommend Bleed It Out (also the Live at Milton Keynes version). While Hybrid Theory album and Meteora albums have some great songs, I think these 2 are straight fire and wouldn't disappoint. Also, Mike Shinoda had a side group called Fort Minor, which was rap, and had a very popular song called "Remember The Name." I'd check that out. Finally, Linkin Park did a collab with Jay-Z. There is a video that has them playing live with Jay-Z on Points of Authority (Linkin Park song), 99 Problems, and One Step Closer. Highly recommend checking that out as well.
That Jay Z collab was fire
Their song "Given Up" is insane!!! Chester has a 17 second long scream! The lyrics are just in your face raw. Then pair that with their sing "Flicker" where he has so much love for those who might be thinking of suicide. And knowing he was dealing with those same demons rips your heart apart.
Linkin Park always gave me the most colourful soundscapes; they really build an environment in their songs. Idk how they do it.
You'll love "Place For My Head" by Linkin Park. Some good bars and good screaming from Chester.
live in texas
My soul song!!
@@wambo1228 100 % The Live in Texas version is a whole new experience to the song.
Funny you said you could see a Dragon Ball z fight happening to this.
There were a TON of FMVs that people made with Dragon Ball footage and Linkin Park songs over them. A bunch of other bands too, but Linkin Park was definitely in the mix.
Also I would definitely watch a live react to the whole album
Was just about to say. You could not find a DBZ clip on CZcams that didn’t have Linkin Park music back in the day.
man I remember those days lol
Want a crazy rabbit hole to go down? People are STILL making a metric shit ton of AMVs of bleach, dbz, etc. set to old Linken Park. Including younger content creators that absolutely were not around during that time. Its kind of wild.
@@MrRusty103 amazing
My favorite video of Faint was a FMV set to Kingdom Hearts 2.
its so funny you said the Dragonball Z thing bc basically every anime music video every for about a decade was to Linkin Park. They played their first music vid on Toonami in the early 00s and it was literally anime and people went crazy and it led to their success
I was about to say the same thing. They even did the intro song for DBZ.
Watched so many DBZ AMV with LP tracks on them when I was 11-12, shit was insane!
It must be the zeitgeist tapping the glass.
They had the best selling debut album of the millennium and a grammy. The anime video was on their second album. They weren't successful because of breaking the habit. Good song and video though.
@@LeFlea12 no they didn't. Rock the dragon was done by a British band. Chester hadn't even joined LP by that point. So many mistakes made by what people found tagged with LP on limewire
Whoever is feeding you the songs is doing a great job. You're getting straight bangers. There are a lot better ones to come.
Greatest hidden gem song by Linkin Park is "My December". It was released as a bonus track on specific versions of Hybrid Theory (their debut album). It's very stripped down and sincere.
A song you might like is Zombie by the Cranberries. The song is not about zombies as in science fiction, and the band is from Ireland. Thanks
If he does then he’d also need to see the cover by Bad Wolves.
@@GreenSargentno
@@Wittynametag why not? The bad wolves is an homage to the original as well as a continuation saying that the issues then are still prevalent now. I’m not saying it’s better than the original but it’s damn good.
@@GreenSargent The original song is about generational sectarian conflict and terrorism that impacted the band and inspired by a real life event, the zombies are the hate filled unquestioning divided communities that murder children because of ideology and political differences that are said to represent the person who wrote the song, the song was a mixture of (at the time) modern alternative grunge rock the same year Kurt Cobain died and ends with a take on traditional Irish death keening singing.
It's not a protest song it's a scream that ended up being an unofficial anthem of the peace process and means a lot to the people of NI, and is still disliked by the extremist factions that too this day hold the beliefs that the violence is justified.
The Bad Wolves cover had none of that personality, it changes lyrics and changes the meaning, it's no longer a personal realisation of frustration but a generic war is bad song that was so none controversial it was in step with US foreign policy to wind down it's overseas actions, "since 1916" showed the stupidity of this is still on going, "in 2018" just dates it with every year since 2018, changing it from tanks, bombs, bombs, guns, to tanks, bombs, guns, drones it removes the criticism of all sides of a multi factional conflict and is just a list of military weapons.
If those lyrics had been sung by an Afghan women using traditional Pashto singing styles with a hard rock sound then it might have worked, but otherwise it's like if Disturbed covered Fuck the Police and changing lyrics to talk when they got pulled over for drink driving, Sure sounds well polished and the guy can sing but its missing the point, the rawness and the feeling.
They didn't even understand the original subject, with the singer saying it was about bombings during the "Irish rebellion" which about sums up the naivety and dislocation of US views on the troubles and the reality of the situation.
Now maybe with her vocals on it, it would have become a much better song, but the absence just leaves a hole where the soul of the song should be, the fact they dedicated it to her and sent money to her kids is commendable, but that doesn't change the song to be anything more than a generic 2010s American rock cover in style that's been around for decades.
@Wittynametag in the end, all music opinions are subjective so there will be some who think the cover version is better, and for them, it is. However, you make an unbelievably good argument for why that opinion is wrong. I personally liked the original even though I didn't fully grasp all the meaning behind it like you described. I'm an American with Irish ancestry for context.
I'd be very interested to see your reaction to the band Tool. I'd suggest either "The Pot" or "Schism" as your first song. You'll either hate them the same way you hated System of a Down, or you'll love them the same way you loved Audioslave. Either is valid.
I see him getting bored at them lmao. Prog is very hard to get into.
The pot should be a good gateway into tool, he won't be able to resist that bass and drum track
@@MastaAnt He absolutely would love Danny Carey.
If he digs Linkin Park this much he'll likely not go for Tool.... And, that's a shame.
Just watched his other videos and was wondering when this was coming. The pot would probably be the song he would like the most at this point.
Hybrid Theory is an amazing album! Nearly every track is incredible. There is a remix album too that's also pretty awesome.
You need to watch the Linkin Park/Jay-Z Collab. So much amazing talent all together. There are videos on CZcams if their live concert together. So good!
Also other suggestions My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade.
Perfect Circle - Judith
And really any other Linkin Park songs!
Glad I'm not the only one to recommend collision course lol
Also from the parts he didn't like from chop suey i don't think he's like mcr, sadly
That collab is worth watching just for the look on Jay-Z's face when Chester gives that "I'm about to.........BREAKK!!!!" growl at the end.
@@MrRusty103 yesss!!!
He has to do Welcome To The Black Parade. Based on songs he liked so far, that one would definitely be right up his alley.
@@MrRusty103 The first time I watched the live video of collision course, I think the last one that they do, you see Jay z just back up and let them do what they do, especially when he says shut up when I'm talking to you! The way he says shut up, especially the last one, always gets me hype. Not like I wasn't hype already, but it keeps me there!
Hybrid Theory was the sound of middle school for me. At the time it wasnt super mainstream, but a lot of us felt like they were talking to us and empathizing with what we felt.
i’ve never been emo and i like the underground. i’m into 90s death metal a lot but i still LOVE this song. it has its place in the history of metal. it’s still a classic metal song and it’s a very much loved song
I was no teenager when I started listening to Linkin Park….their songs pulled me thru some really hard times. I wish love could have saved Chester…he was so loved.
i feel called out i was extremely into this in middle school and high school.
i still feel this to my core.
Bro just discovered your channel today and first one I watched was your reaction to rage killing in the name of and I just about rolled outta my chair laughin at how ya call it white boy music! And how much ya gettin into it! Love it man! Listen to all rage! All linkin park is bad ass also! Keep it goin bro!
While I never got massively into LINKIN PARK, the scream he does when he says, shut up. Was the first time I as a 10-year-old had ever heard a metal or hard-core scream. And it hooked me immediately. I became more of a punk fan, but this song definitely caught my attention musically to find out more.
You are spot on about that whole high school vibe thing. I remember being asked if I liked Linkin Park; I said I didn't really like it and this kid got mega pissed at me. He couldn't believe that someone didn't like what he liked.
Also the Linkin Park/Executioners/Static X collab is is legit. Well worth a listen.
It’s only the music video that wayne static x as cameo played guitar.. actually in recording: mike shinoda played it
2/3
Linkin Park's first album, Hybrid Theory, was released in 2000. Meteora was released in 2003.
Glad you enjoyed yourself man. Always nice to find new music!
Hybrid Theory was one of the most fire albums to ever come out. That shit was absolute insane when it hit. A lot of this stuff is mainstream because linkin park. They have also always had an amazing reputation in the industry. Always heard their concerts were absolutely electric. Everyone I've talked to that went said there was just an energy about them you didn't get with other bands.
Rob I think we’re gonna need another rage against the machine. Down Rodeo.
Take the power back first
Bulls on parade
Guerilla Radio!
Down Rodeo 100% !!
If you react to rage. Pull up the lyrics. It’s a must!!!
After listening to this you definitely gotta do Linkin Park ft Jay Z- 99 Problems/One Step Closer mashup 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I love these videos from you man! Keep it up!
I’m down for there to be live album reactions
I loved your Rage reaction, so I checked out your other videos, too. I love your honesty and now I'm subbed!
I like the part where RobTV is talking, and then Linkin Park tells him to shut up. Lol
You're reactions and insight into these songs is great and so entertaining. Thank you!
I thought it was hilarious that both times he says "Shut up when I'm talking to you" Rob says something.
Glad to see you lovin it.
Rob was on the ball super hard twice here.
People were making hella DBZ AMVs with Linkin Park songs back in the day.
And also Hardcore metal fans definitely were hating on this shit saying its too mainstream, good times lmao.
I love these vids man, keep em coming!
I've been to hundreds of concerts and Linkin Park remains one of the all-time best shows I've ever seen. I don't normally get bent out of shape by deaths of famous people, but Chester Bennington's death was a punch in the gut.
You can say whatever you want about Linkin Park but the energy they brought to every song and performance is absolute.
I just fell in love with you... thank you for who you are and your reaction to my favorite type of music.. xo
Yes, please do the livestream. I'm here for it. Especially would love to see you do RatM's self-titled debut album ( which has Killing in the Name Of on it).
live stream sounds dope dude
I was in high school when this came out and everyone was in to LP, skaters, hip hop heads, everyone. They bridged the divide 💯
Linkin Park has many great songs, RIP Chester, who was influenced by RIP Chris. Please do next Black Betty by Ram Jam. If you haven't already.
Linkin Park in my opinion is one of the best bands of all time, the truth in the lyrics and the production of their music is amazing, look into their history, it’s sad but inspiring for some of us, believe it or not
History doesn't matter, their production matters and their personal connection and continued artistry and Mike and Joe!
This album is so good! JayZ even dug it and collaborated to remix it too.
just found your channel, definitely one of the best I've found. also you kind of remind of twomad, except not quite as unhinged
I definitely listened to LP in high school. I was a sophomore when Hybrid Theory came out. It was one of the most worn out cds in my car.
I will say in regard to those people in high school. It was often the other way around from how you put it. People were able to feel like someone else understands them while listening to this.
This kind of music is expression pure and simple.
If you like this kind of merging of genres gotta do "Electric Callboy - Hypa Hypa", hard to describe a bit like Metallica meets EMD music, meets NYSYNC and they pretty much established their own brand of music called partycore. Really is undescribable, even if you don't react to it, your life will be better for having seen it!!
This nu metal / grunge / post-grunge / pop punk shit was super popular in my rural-ish community amongst the hardcore White trash youth, circa late 90s-early 00s. You either listened to country, or you listened to this, then got some tattoos. We had an underground high school station with a weak signal that played this kind of stuff, and it showed you were "edgy" (unlike the country kids). Love it.
1:20 Now imagine youre a 11 year old with younger siblings living with a single mother. you dont wanna be a parent and your mom is always gone. Linkin Park helped so much growing up. This, Papercut, that whole Hybrid Theory album really
4:15 I like how you brought up the Dragon Ball Z they actually did a remix to their album Hybrid Theory Reanimation really stuff before its time
I would be down for a album stream. Also would like to leave a song suggestion, The Pretender by Foo Fighters
You absolutely nailed the fandom behind this band and those who hated them.
You hit the nail on the head when you said DBZ fight, cuz this got used in a million DBZ anime music videos!
I was 20 when this came out. Phenomenal album. Even still.
Ok I am loving these reaction vids. Totally enjoying your reactions to these great songs! 2 suggestions for you. 1) Mudvayne- Fall into Sleep or Dig. Their greatest hits is on a loop for gym work outs, especially weight lift days. 2) Nine Inch Nails-Closer or lesser known Happiness in Slavery. There is a whole story to the EP this song is on and how it is basically Reznors F* you to his then record company. Dude is freaking brilliant.
Your pure joy when you love something is so great ahaha
Its crazy to see reactions to songs and groups that I grew up on in middle school/ high school and now everyone is like "oohhhhhh, i get it now"
Bro you should check out the live concert of this, they go really hard on this
This is the band that got plenty of black kids into rock music in the early 2000s. Back when u basically had to hide that u liked any other type of music besides rap and rnb. They got solid albums their whole career, but must listens....hybrid theory, meteora, reanimation, fort minor, minutes to midnight, a thousand suns, and living things. After that I would say at least listen to one more light the song as that's the last track they had before the lead singer deleted himself. Out of all the music and genres I listen to this is the only band/act that I've paid to see more than once...and I come from mainly Atlanta/southern rap music as my daily listening since a kid.
Korn actually was my intro to nu metal. Linkin Park just made it better. Nirvana was my intro to grunge. I listened to a lot of KROQ back in '97. Now, I love it.
You should def do the whole album, I think you'd really be into it.
Great reaction! Now I cant wait for you to get into Meteora and Somewhere I Belong
oh man i need more Rage from you, exited for all of it
it's on the way!
I think all kinds of people with different tastes in music enjoy Linkin Park because there is real shit and real pain behind that man's incredible vocals. Chester was molested and abused by his father when he was a child and he struggled with depression his whole life. Even if you don't know that, I think we can still subconsciously hear and feel that pain and frustration and we can relate to it, connect to it. It gives us an outlet for things we hold inside and don't express, things we've been through or struggled with. I have a similar history to Chester and for me, listening to his music wasn't an emo thing or even a rocker thing... it was an emotional release and relief.
BLEED IT OUT by linkin park brings HEAT from the start to the end… it would 100% get you boppin
Even old school metal fans love this song.
I enjoy your content
definitely listen to full albums that shit is dope.
Chester Bennington from Linkin Park and Chris Cornell from Audioslave were best friends. Both of them unfortunately ended their lives too early a couple of months apart back in 2017. They have a couple of songs together on CZcams.
I love how you went quiet when you where talking about Dragon Ball Z and Chester starts singing 'Shut up when im talking to you'.
I remember when this album first came out there were multiple music videos of One Step Closer where Gohan goes Super Saiyan against Cell. Just thinking of that video gives me chills.
If you're really looking for a ride to go on dip your toe into some " TooL" . Watching people hear ,react and finally discover TooL for the first time is so much fun to watch. The pot is always a good warm up into them.
Loving your reactions! Would love to see you react to "Face Down" by the band Red Jumpsuit Apparatus :)
I feel envy. There is so much good stuff ahead of you. :)
You got a new subscriber you energy is unmatched. I would love to see you get into heavier metal. Get the shot- deathbound. This song is pure energy and nothing like anything you have on your channel. Looking forward to the next one
LP is ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Some classic rock will blow your mind as well. Rush, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, SRV, ZZ Top…
aye even he listened to chester. when chester said "shut up when I'm talking to you" he actually stopped talking hahaah love you man
I am always willing to give myself a concussion to this song
Would love to hear your take on Foo Fighters. The Pretender, Everlong, and Best of You would be good starters. Thanks!
You are 1000% correct about some metal/hardcore fans acting elitist towards Linking Park. Years ago I saw a video of a guy standing outside an LP concert holding a sign and shouting “Linkin Park is a roller coaster!” And when people asked what he meant he said “it seems dangerous but is actually really safe and not real danger.”
He was an asshat upset that people liked rock music that wasn’t hard enough for him. And I’m sure there are lots out there like him. I personally think LP was a great fusion of a few genres that allowed people to find the parts the liked and then move deeper into that genre.
points of authority is my favourite. nice channel brother.
The essence of "mom I need a bigger room" music
New here to your channel, I'm just your average white guy and I find your honest opinions refreshing. Thank you for being real it's appreciated.
Yeah hybrid theory is great all the way through if no one has suggested papa roach yet try broken home by them it's a good song
At the same time I was listening to this, there was also Papa Roach, Tool, NIN (I would specifically recommend the album The Downward Spiral), Manson, Rob Zombie and Stabbing Westward. My personal favorite angry song, that I still listen to when I need to let the rage just flow to get it out, is Dig by Mudvayne.
Oh my god. So many flashbacks to high school for me. I would just spend hours of every day with Hybrid Theory and Meteora in my portable cd player.
If I remember correctly, this song was written when they were in the studio recording a different song, the lyrics are aimed at their manager.
I don't know if they still exist, but back in the 2000's I used to see fan-made Dragon Ball Z music videos set to this song a LOT. And other songs, definitely lots of Linkin Park/Dragonball Z mashups though. I'd imagine people still make those, I just remember seeing them everywhere back in the day.
As a young teenager I used to love this song, then I got a bit older and soured on it and got into mostly just metal, then I got older and older and now I'm back to loving this song cause it carries nostalgia with it for me too. And with their singer Chester having passed its hard not to appreciate their music more now knowing we will sadly never get anymore of Chester's amazing vocals. Thanks for the reaction, good stuff!
yeah man they still exist lmao and the editing has gotten a lot better over the decades
Same with mortal kombat videos
Haha can't wait till you get to korn!!!!!! It's like my HS years all over again! Love it!
Since you like Panic! At the Disco, try out Ice Nine Kills. Its obviously not a one to one, but Ice Nine Kills is theatrical like Panic! At the Disco, but gets really hard. Especially try them out if you like horror movies. The song I would recommend for a first listen is "Hip to Be Scared" by Ice Nine Kills.
Although, I'm gonna be honest, if you do check them out, the music video for that song is too good to pass up.
I love your honest reactions, you keep it 💯. If you love Rage please react to Korn-“Blind”. It will goto the top of the new playlist!
RobTV you should hear Larkin Poe sing Mad As a Hatter. They're Edgar Allan Poe's great great great great grandkids, and the song is beautiful. Get the version performed at the Covenant House. Blows my mind every time
Yes!!! Do the album review!!
It’s a simple jam but it’s one hell of an ear worm. Easy to remember the words, the hook, and gets in your head quickly.
Idk if you take recommendations here but going by how you like hard instrumentals and beats you should def check out Disturbed and their old stuff. Still amazing
I just watched all your videos from this series and i love them!
I have some suggestions, as far as i can tell, i think those two should be to your liking:
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
Foo Fighters - All My Life
And for something different, a female singer:
Cranberries - Zombie
I second Zombie.
For the most part linkin park is well respected in both rock and hip hop heads
