Mike Shinoda has expressed his appreciation for Linkin Park fans’ positive reception of Emily Armstrong. He shared his thoughts during his recent interview with KROQ.
“First of all, you put [Emily Armstrong] in the work, and the fans know that. And they respect it,” Shinoda said. “It could have been the other way. People could have been nasty or whatever. But they’re not like that. They really have been so supportive.”
Armstrong’s collaboration with Shinoda marks a significant moment for Linkin Park fans since the band’s previous activities.
This positive reception signals a new chapter in Linkin Park’s journey. The band continues to evolve while honoring their legacy.
Loudwire revealed details about Armstrong’s integration into Linkin Park. The band released their new album ‘From Zero’ on November 15. The album featured their single ‘The Emptiness Machine.’
In a recent interview featured on LP Association, Shinoda highlighted Armstrong’s impact. He noted that she and fellow new member Colin have revitalized Linkin Park, helping bring the band ‘back in the world again’ through their supportive attitude.
The collaboration has already yielded impressive results. Armstrong’s powerful screaming vocals on ‘Heavy Is The Crown’ pay subtle tribute to Chester Bennington’s iconic style. The performance maintains its own unique character.
The musical synergy has created a strong connection with the fanbase. This success demonstrates the band’s ability to honor their past while embracing a new creative direction with Armstrong leading the way.
