I think MTV gets worse with every year of it’s existence
As does the news of this site. Like anyone gives a shit about MTV related things. Then again with the people that visit this site i wonder….
MTV cant get any worse with no music and shitty reality tv shows… someone should just pull the plug, oh but wait there are still too many assholes that watch that shit!
Linkin Park and Slipknot still are great bands, who continue to put out meaningful music that changes the music industry. Good job to those guys!
And for you posers that talk bad about these guys, all I can say is that you have bad taste in music. Go back listening to your pop music losers.

oh but wait there are still too many assholes that watch that shit! more like too many little kids

^^^Linkin Park changes the music industry? In what way, other than proving that the masses will allow a band to write 1 album, release it 4 separate times under a new album title and still go gold?
I’m no LP hater, they are what they are – but to label them as any sort of groundbreaking act is a shooting just a wee bit off the mark.
I give the Foo Fighters praise before I would give Linkin Park any.
The award is for best Rock video…morons…
…and with that said, it should go to the Foo Fighters.
Ive seen VMA’s that had these groups in best metal in years past. Ha Ha!!!!
OK…I knew this would suck and all and it does but that Fallout Boy cover of Beat It might be one of the worst sounds I managed to hear all year. It is seriously one of the shittiest covers of any song I’v ever heard. Listening to it is to be in pain.
The VMA never mad best metal award.
LP changed the music industry bwahahahahahaahah. I remember when they did ozzfest and were supposed to do 45min when they only had 33min of material, lol.
Alex Aro must be being facetious. There is no possible way that all of those words can be arranged in that order in a serious manner. I stared at that post in disbelief for literally minutes, trying to comprehend what he meant. Is he being sarcastic, or is he just a jackass? Fucking linkin park is the goddamn music industry. They were one of the biggest bands around a few years ago, and you’re telling me they change the music industry? They couldn’t make change for a 20 let alone have any impact on the industry. That music is meaningful to metal posers that don’t know anything about the real musicianship or community that makes up the essence of metal. What an asshole thing to say, even as a joke. Linkin Park and Slipknot ARE pop. They are POPular bands, even outside of the metal community, especially in Linkin Park’s case.
Fail.
Foo Fighters are the only band here i can really respect.
fucck…what the fuck are you people talking about??..why not..go fuck yourselves…and when you’re doing that i hope you all realise to appreciate any sort of music…its not the sound or your taste that matters..its the creativity assholes..you have to admire what another human being has come up with that is something completely new and original..that belongs to them..it doesnt belong to you..you dont have total right to spit on someones hard work….fuck as if you guys could create better music than all these bands here…grow UP dickheads!!
