Linkin Park are also releasing their annual LPU CD:
"The LPU11 CD is filled with unreleased demos from Hybrid Theory to A Thousand Suns. Some of the songs on this CD are early versions of familiar songs, such as the “In The End” demo. Other songs on this CD never made it on a Linkin Park album and remained unfinished and in raw form. All of the songs represent the journey it takes to create an album as a whole, and we’re excited to share them with you."
LPU11. I would like to be chosen because everything Linkin Park stand for I stand for. Creating superb music, charitable towards unfortunate countries, and treat their fans with respect. Choose me please and thank you.
LPU 11. I would like to be chosen because I do quite like their old stuff, and am interested in hearing these cool demos, but I spent all my money on guinness, thus I cannot afford such membership delights...
LPU11. I should be the winenr because i like their old stuff as much as the new and was, am, and will be a true fan all teh time. they were my firs favourite band and i like their lyrics, music and artworks a lot.
LPU 11. I should be chosen because I've followed Linkin Park since they first started out. I've always been faithful to Linkin Park when most people that heard of them hated them. Linkin Park was my life back during Hybrid Theory and Meteora and I still listen to them because they make some of the most amazing music ever. Linkin Park is one of the best bands out there and I feel like I should be the winner.
LPU 11. I've been a LP fan since the hybrid theory days, But I have never acutally been part of the LPU (I never thought $60 a year was worth it), and coming back into the LPU would just be a great prize. I go to LP concerts whenever possible so the ability to go to meet and greets would just be amazing.
LPU 11. These guys have helped me through a lot of rough times in my life. Music has always been an outlet for me. Be it picking up a guitar or just listening. It lets me zone out, refocus, and get back on track. Nothing like "One Step Closer" when you're at the end of your rope with something/someone.
LPU 11. I Think That I should be the winner because i dont have any money to pay this membership..i really love lp music i'm a fan of them for like 6 years by now.
it will mean the world for me if i win this thing.
plesae UG Give Me This Membership!
LPU 11. I think I should win because Linkin Park are badass and I'm not. It will help me be more badass.(sorry for double post, i realised i didn't put LPU11 lol)
I should be chosen as the winner since Linkin Park was my first favorite band when I was 12 and even though their music drastically changed over the years, I still like them.
LPU 11. I should win because of, firstly, the lols and because, secondly, it'd be cool for a brown guy from Pakistan (the great "evil" of the world) to win something related to rock/metal/alt./nu/(insert genre here) music.
On a side note, I'm not really a big Linkin Park fan or anything.....
LPU 11. I should win because I have supported Linkin Park from the beginning. There's not been one moment in my life that I have not liked what they do, or what they play. LP for life.
I am from India (the country everyone likes to stereotype)... Linkin Park has never come to our country for a concert... I never got my desired dose of LP ever since I am a fan (I was 13 when I first heard In The End)... Besides I desperately want those goodies.. T-Shirt? Yeah! Earplugs? YEAH! Earplug Case! F**K YEAH! :p
LPU11. I've been a Linkin Park fan since 2003. I'm from a tiny country called Malta, a place which has never experienced good live music from any international artists. I would like to be a member of the LPU so that I can at least enjoy some of the perks that many others enjoy so easily elsewhere in the world.
LPU11 I've been a huge fan of Linkin Park since I heard Hybrid Theory in 2001. I love your music and have always stood up and defended it when everyone else was talking shit.
LPU11
Because I've always been a big fan, but don't really have the bonus cash to throw that way. Been wanting to join it since I found Hybrid Theory when I was young. I haven't always loved every single song they've released, but I love them as a band. I like the way they approach music, their demeanor, and their typical willingness to step outside the box. I've always wanted a chance to see them, maybe soon that could work out. I even defend them with internet trollz jump all over them :p
Oh. And I bought their albums instead of downloading them. Just cause I wanted to support them.
LPU11
I should be chosen because I get to know them in elementary school, became fan and bought singles and albums, and they were the fundament of my todays love all kinds of rock and heavy guitar music!
LPU11
Been fan of them from the get go. At least the moment I've heard of them in the Netherlands. I can't afford to pay for it cause i'm a just a two years away from being a teacher and have to pay for much of my shit myself...
Everyone else is asking why I keep listening to a band to changed so much over the years. And it's just that. They change. Most of the songs they wrote are like anthems to me. And i love anthem type songs.
I've got all their albums legit. For the support of the band.
LPU 11. I am from India (the country everyone likes to stereotype)... Linkin Park has never come to our country for a concert... I never got my desired dose of LP ever since I am a fan (I was 13 when I first heard In The End)... Besides I desperately want those goodies.. T-Shirt? Yeah! Earplugs? YEAH! Earplug Case! F**K YEAH! :p
LPU 11 I should be chosen because in the end,whenever anyone is pushing me away, Linkin Park has a cure for the itch, and there is always a place for my head with their music.
LPU 11. I'm a huge, unashamed LP fan, for many years now, and as a street performer I often play "The Messenger" or "Little Things Give You Away" because, really, they're great songs!
I'm a huge fan of linkin park
but I have to commit I don't have any merchandise stuffs like T-shirt,stickers,... I love Linkin park with my heart =) know every song, sing every song and play every song with my guitar
to have a free LPU11 is win win for me =)
LPU 11. Ill be chosen as a winner because im number one fan since 2000 and been to 30 concerts .... but i havent been able to register to LPU so give your biggest fan some love
LPU 11. I'd like to win because I really like your music; your old stuff, but also the newer songs. Everybody I know don't like them but I think they are very good. They sound different then the older ones but still... they're just very good!
LPU 11 - Quite like a lot of people, I'm a huge LP fan. I can't say something that makes me deserve the prize more than anyone else here, but when I listen to Linkin Parks music, it puts goosebumps on my goosebumps! Im always eagerly waiting for the next album which I feel has got bigger and better everytime. I cant get enough of them!!
LPU 11. I should be the winner not because I'm the biggest Linkin Park fan (Which i'm not, There are a lot of fanatics), but because I recognize that there were better times for music, but LP will never let us down
LPU11. I should win because Linkin Park has been my favorite band for a long time, they were the first band I ever saw live, and LPU is always too expensive for me to buy. Also, I was nice and gave everyone a +1 on their comment!
I think I shoulb be a winner because i am a true fan of linkin park plus i live in Tajikistan (central asia) and there is nobody in my country who is a member of LPU 11 and if i win i will represent LPU in tajikistan
LPU 11. I should be a winner because I've been a fan for years and they were one of the groups to inspire me to start playing guitar and writing music.
LPU11
i should be chosen as the winner because Hybrid Theory was the very first rock record i bought and it brings back such great memories and i've loved the band since that day and i'd be honoured to be a member of lpu
LPU 11
I think I deserve it because I'm a huge fan. When Hybrid Theory first came out, I wasn't much into music really. But then my brother got the album, and played it in his car a lot. At first I thought eeh what's with all the screaming, I don't get it. But after a couple of listens, I was sold. The thing grew on me, and kept doing so! It was the first thing ever to make me crazy about music. I started really reading lyrics and thinking about them. And then there were the videos,I loved the videos! And then Joseph Hahn even directed a bunch of them, which just made it even cooler! When I got my first band T-Shirt ever, obviously it was a LP T-Shirt, with the winged soldier, along with a sweet poster. I had finally turned into a fan, the kind that was on the verge of annoying.
The next couple of years, I started reading every tidbit of news on Linkin Park, on my favorite LP sites. I started getting my hands on all the rarities I could find online, demos and b-sides. Heck I even started downloading videos of LP, which took an eternity on my 56k moden, which cost 2 bucks an hour!
Since they kindled my love for music, my taste has expanded a whole lot, but I still listen to Linkin Park all the time. Waiting for the end is probably my favorite LP song so far, and the video just made it so much better, loved everything about it!
When I was younger, I hoped one day to be a musician, and be able to sing like Chester. Today I play bass in a band, I play a lot of guitar in my free time when writing music, and I can sing and scream, if not nearly as well as Chester
There's much more I could say about my love for LP, my occasionally annoyed friend could tell you as much. But you get the point, LP have always been a part of my life and will always be an inspiration
And with all that cheese out of the way, I live in the Faroe Islands, which means I'm almost never allowed to participate in contests. Also means I'm gonna have to spend a bunch of money to actually see LP live one day.
So yeah, the LPU 11 membership would just be freaking sweet!
LPU11 I like linkin park but i don't really give a flying **** about membership clubs for any band. Give me the prize so i can laugh at everyone else while wasting it.
I've been a fan of Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory. I have tons of demo versions of songs. And every time I think I'm getting tired of their music, they release a new album that goes in a totally new direction and catches me completely off-guard.
You know what? I don't even care if I win. I just hope LP keeps pushing forward and taking their style to places it's never been before.
LPU 11
I've been listening to Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory. I have every single one of their albums and they were the first rock band that i had ever listened to. I've bought every dvd and pretty much anything with the LP name on it. I've even purchased albums from the guys various solo projects. I love these guys so much and i admire the fact that they're not afraid to switch their style up with each album. The wall of my room is decorated head to toe with album artwork. I was so bummed when i missed mike shinod's art exhibit but i always check out whatever pieces he posts on the internet. Please pick me it would so make my life
P.S. you guys can thumbs down if you want. its not my problem
Been a fan of Linkin Park for awhile - one of the first bands that started getting me into rock. Seriously learning guitar now (dedicating large amounts of time to it), would love to go to one of their concerts and watch and learn from them.
LPU 11. I should be chosen because I think A Thousand Suns was one of the band's most creative sparks to date and I look forward to hearing the journey towards it.
LPU 11
I should be the winner, because LP is just so original, has developed such an iconic sound, you can't find anywhere else. I just love Chester Bennington's voice, in the fantastic hard rock songs, as well in the beautiful sensitive songs, such as Iridescent (a). Linkin Park is so amazing, I really respect them, everyone should. But I'm the one that should win LPU 11 annual membership
LPU 11 - I should be chose because me and my friend love them a lot. He listens to them since almost the beginning and he got me hooked. Since then I listen to them almost every day and I like every album more and more. I'm really looking forward to the new one
LPU 11. I want to win because Linkin Park is my life ... It's my favorite band since the beginning ... Their songs have helped me a lot, they've changed my life... but, I have the opportunity to have a LPU annual membership because I have enough money. Also, They made me appreciate the music since I was 8, I hope to be chosen, good luck to everyone...
LPU 11 I may know every song off by heart, I may play them religiously through the house every day because they always have a song i can relate to no matter how I'm feeling. I've listened to in the end and breaking the habit more than I've listened to my mother, and I'm looking forward to the next studio album more than i'm looking forward to Christmas, I ALWAYS attempt the scream to given up, and Going from Hybrid theory to a thousand suns and everything in between, I've yet to hear a song I Don't like. I've spent hours learning their material and playing it live, and the thrill of playing Linkin park never fades! Yet I've never gotten to see my favorite band live. And I may still not deserve it, but my girlfriend certainly does for being an equally big fan and for being generally awesome!!!:L
LPU 11, I think a lot of people will want this. And I now I'm not the only fan, and I'm not the only one that enjoys there music. I wish I could win it, but many people also want it. I've been a fan of their music ever since I can remember. Living where I live, Puerto Rico, The music that rules over other is Reggeaton (or however you spell that), I've been one of the few people that keep original to a style of music and not to Reggeaton. People In Puerto Rico dress up as "Cakos" and loose their own Identity. The music made by Linkin Park inspired me to not be one of the many, to be one of the few. TO be myself, not to copy others. Not to be ruled by other but to be free in my own world. It mad me learn to live the way I see fit. It showed I don't have to be what others want me to be. That whatever I have done, I will always have a chance to get forgiven. Sometimes I see people turning their back on me because I'm breaking the habit.
LPU11. Becuase I had to dress up as santa, and go play guitar in front of a music shop for 2 and a half hours straight, and I played LP songs the whole time! \m/
"LPU 11" I should be chosen as a winner 'cause it's my favorite band in the world and it's one way of getting closer to them 'cause I think I won't be able to see them live in many years (I live in Mexico) and I can't afford to pay the membership 'cause it's to expensive. So I really hope I win this.
LPU 11 -
"Hybrid Theory" was one of my first ever self-purchased albums. I still remember sitting on my bed for hours on end just spinning that CD on my walkman and crappy headphones. I owe Linkin Park a lot, as they spring-launched me into bands such as Disturbed and Mudvanye; who were catalysts into an eventual discovery of "heavier music". As one of the seemingly very few on UG that loves their newer material as much as the classic collection, the membership would be the perfect musically-invested Xmas present for me this year!
Linkin Park was the first band I ever liked, 11 years old I remember hearing Crawling for the first time, it got me into rock and metal. I at one point, knew every lyric there was to know when listening to linkin park. To win it would mean the world to me!
LPU 11. The reason I should win is because I've been a devoted fan of theirs since the very beginning before Hybrid Theory was launched in 2000 and even to today I love all their music and never once turned my back on them because they 'changed their sound'.
LPU 11: Because there's something to be said about a band that instead of just making a "heavier" "more raw" "more real" album they wanted to change the whole idea of what they are as a band. That deserves some serious kudos.
LPU 11. Because we've all seen the evolution of the band through it's studio albums, but hearing the demos would be a different and awesome experience. Plus I am a broke full time student
LPU 11 I should win because instead of wanting them to do the same album over and over I wanted the change to happen, I'd love to listen to the demos of songs we know and love, this would be the first time I get to be a member of LPU due to money constrains all the damn time and because I believe that musical progression happens to the best of them (although not always obvious) and linkin park proved that old dogs learn new tricks all the damn time.
I think I should be the winner because i'm listening them for years and i love everything they do, from their music (all albums) to their charity work.
LPU11. I remember back in the days of Xero, the core of the stuff... some of it ended up on Hybrid theory... some of it should of ended up on hybrid theory, def carousel... the lyrics are dark, they embed into ya head. Even tho i admit im not too keen on the direction the guys have taken recently, i as a musician can understand this and stand by their side and support them through the creativity they project out. These guys where the first band i saw live and still are, ive seen quite a few bands live from Muse, Alter bridge 3 times, Dream theater 4 times, Slipknot 3 times, Machine Head, Limp Bizkit twice.... the list goes on n on n on. Anyway, i would love to hear this Underground album, the others where good but this just tops it all off to hear all the demos, argh xD
LPU11 Because i haven't had the chance to see you live yet and Linkin Park was the first favorite band i had and still are one amazing band, Pretty much what started me liking Rock and Nu-Metal music.
LPU11 Because I basically grew up listening to LP since I was little..as long as I can remember my dad and I would rock out to Linkin Park on the radio or stereo...So you could say I've been a long-time fan. I'm also a huge fan of M. Shinoda's side project Fort Minor
LPU11. I was going to buy a membership (they've got a convincing video of their summit on the front page), but if this can save me some money, i'll take it. Although I'll probably get one anyway.
LPU11. I'm from Venezuela and here is difficult to buy and acquire this kind of things, memberships and stuff, and when I bought the Songs From The Underground CD, a free trial came with it and it was awesome, so I'd like to have it, LP rules \m/
LPU 11. i think i should win because i have respect for them as musicians. Your new stuff is not my cup of tea but good on you guys for going in a different direction and become just as successful. i personally love your old stuff, simply amazing to listen too. you guys have come a long way in music.
LPU 11. Because my first CD I bought was Hybrid Theory and they introduced me to a whole new genre of music as well as starting my love for rock music. Until I heard Linkin Park all I listened to was country...
LPU 11
i think i should win this membership, because i love linkin park. i have every album, from hybrid theory to a thousand suns. first time i heard linkin park was 6 years ago, now i'm 16. i'm from a little town in bavaria, germany, so i haven't been to a lp concert yet i would give everything to vist just one show this would be the biggest event in my life, to see my fav band live
LPU 11 - Well, I feel pretty bad and selfish for saying "I should win because of...", but the giveaway requires it so... I'm from Croatia and LP has never been here and I've never had a chance to see them in a nearby country because of my parents (we aren't in the best financial situation).
LPU 11. Please don't pick me. I honestly do not want this, nor will i ever want this. Please PLEASE give me the privilege of saying "YES, I'm NOT a member of LPU 11."
LPU11. I shouldn't win because I'm pretty much indifferent on this band at this point (although I used to like them when I was, like, 10 and still occasionally listen to Hybrid Theory) and couldn't really care less about being part of the LPU, though I doubt UG actually reads the comments and just chooses a post at random and I might aswell put myself in the draw.
I don't know if I should really explain why I should win because that doesn't make any sense. Explaining a reason you should win something so out of the ordinary is a very selfish way to put it and I'd be disappointed if the winner was one of the people who said "I should win because I like Linkin Park and should get something out of it". I'll just put the LPU11 thing in anyway, cause if I win I know who I could possibly give this thing to and I'm sure they'd appreciate it much more than me. Besides, Christmas is coming up and this would be a pretty awesome thing to give someone.
LPU 11
I've been listening to Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory. I have every single one of their albums and they were the first rock band that i had ever listened to. I've bought every dvd and pretty much anything with the LP name on it. I've even purchased albums from the guys various solo projects. I love these guys so much and i admire the fact that they're not afraid to switch their style up with each album. The wall of my room is decorated head to toe with album artwork. I was so bummed when i missed mike shinod's art exhibit but i always check out whatever pieces he posts on the internet. Please pick me it would so make my life
P.S. you guys can thumbs down if you want. its not my problem
yeah, we can thumb down, because, in the end, it doesn't even matter.
LPU 11. I should not be the winner because I am the winner right now. Finding out Linkin Park's music was one of the best things I've ever done. Said that, good luck with the prize and don't troll too much
LPU11. I should be the winner, because I really like Linkin Park, and I've wanted a membership for a long time. But I can't afford it, and every time I get money, I spend it on their CD's, merch or music. And, when I have enough money, I still can't buy it because I don't have a credit card. I really hope I win, that would be so amazing!
LPU11. I'm a big fan of Linkin Park and have been for years. I love seeing and hearing the ways in which the band and their sound evolves from record to record and the hard work, love, and dedication they put in each time around. It'd be awesome to win and rejoin the LPU!
LPU 11. My girlfriend hates it when i make linkin park references in normal conversation. but in the end it doesn't even matter. Getting this membership will tick her off even more i just hope she doesn't runaway and never says goodbye.
LPU 11. I grew up with their music. They actually got me into the heavier music when I was just at elementary school, they got me into playing guitar and ending up here.
LPU 11. I deserve to be choosen as the winner as I really want to join LPU. I am a fan of linkin park since i was 9. As i was very small at that time, i could not buy the CDs and always listen it on youtube and radio. When i am old enough, I started buying the CDs. I always read every news about LP and felt happy whenever they won an award or an album have just come out. Soon, i started making videos on LP music lyrics. During school, i always tell my friend how good is LP and make them like at least one song. now,all my friends have listen to at least 3 songs from LP and i have make 20 people become fans of LP. I started making friends with LP soldiers and i felt happy whenever i chat with them on twitter. I always wanted LPU, and my parents promise me that they will let me join if i score well. I was motivated by LP and started working hard. I ended up getting 2nd in class. However my parents broke my promise.Right now, I am trying for everything so that i can join LPU.
LPU 11. I started listening to Linkin Park when I was about 11. My music taste since then has changed quite a lot (I'm 18 now). Since then I grew out of listening to certain genres and bands, but also found out new genres that tickled my fancy. And after 7 or so years, Linkin Park is still one of the VERY few bands that bring me the nostalgia and joy of childhood.
LPU 11. Because I forfeited the game before somebody else took me out of the frame and put my name to shame, I covered up my face, because I couldn't run the race - the pace was too fast I just didn't last
LPU 11: when i listen to them everthing just become simple,they made me want to learn guitar which helped me grow as a preson and help build my low self -esteem. they so important to me
LPU 11. I should to be choosen as winner, because i'm a BIG fan of Linkin Park since 10 years (now 17), and i always wanted to be member of LPU. I'm not a member because I don't have money to pay the membership, and my parentes don't pay for me :s It's my dream, to be member of LPU, and i'm not yet, because i don't have money (as i said before) Linkin Park is my LIFE, dude *--* I do anything for this guys. I LOVE them so much ♥ I want SO MUCH this membership.
Hello,
LPU 11: I think I should win the LPU package because I have never been an LPU member and I want to have the feeling of it. This is because I don't have the money for it. Linkin Park means a lot to me and I only listen to their songs, not anyone else. I have never been to a linkin park concert, and I wish I could win this, to see them live, if they come to my country. I've never really won in these type of contests. So please choose me. I will be so thankful. Ultimate Guitar thank you for letting us have a chance to win the LPU 11 package. Good Luck to all.
hi!!! I think I should win the membership because when I saw them in Madrid in EMA's 2010 it was a dream and I wish that I could go to meet&greet and see them in person, because since Hybrid Theory I've been a fan and I can't imagine my life without LINKIN PARK, their songs make me feel good, happy, and help me when I'm sad. I write this because I haven't nothing to lose but a lot to win, though I live in Spain and it's possible that the membership comes to USA, I try to win it, because I have hope and the hope is the last thing you can lose. Greets for all the people and good luck!
LPU11 :
Well, I know everybody came here to ask for a chance to join LPU because every fan wants to stay as closer as he can of his favorite band. So, I just want to say that I would pay for LPU if I could but I can't and I have to take chances like this one to try get it! I want this so bad... thank you Ultimate guitar for this oportunity
I support the band in the ways I can and I know they like all the fans equally no matter what!
But I think I should win cause this one can be my only chance. Thanks, again
LPU 11, i've been a huge linkin park fan since the beginning. The first time i saw them, I had a double ear infection and pneumonia and it was still the best concert i have ever been too. I would love to win the membership just cause i've never been able to afford one amd its always been something i've wanted.
linkin park have sucked for a couple years now, their new song is called god bless us everyone... its slow, boring, and has no story to the lyrics... how lame is that.
LPU11:
Hybrid Theory was the first album I ever purchased. I was 8 years old and bought it on a friend's recommendation and so glad I did. Not only were they the first band I listened to but if it weren't for them I probably wouldnt love music as much I do today. I got into a great genre early in life and Im always grateful for that. Ill keep listening to Linkin Park and go to their shows even if their experimental albums aren't my favorite they are still a great, talented band. Hope to see them make music for a very long time.
LPU 11 - I would like to win because of LP being very sentimental for me. I remember listening to Hybrid Theory with my father when I was 8 or so, jumping around and yelling my interpretations of lyrics (English is not my native language). Then I started digging more in hip hop, but when I turned 12, I found out that rock music is what I find most pleasurable for my ears. I asked my dad if he could give me some of his CDs. He instantly reached the shelf and took LP's Meteora and Hybrid Theory, saying "These will be the best for the beginning".
Since then, I've changed from still undecided musically kid to a full-time rocker. Even though I used to forget about Linkin Park a couple of times, I still smile while reminding myself, that it was one of the most influencial bands of my childhood. Plus, it would be a great opportunity to soak into their newer material and make it possible to bring back my mania.
Oh yes, and Phoenix is IMO one of the most bad ass bassists on Earth. I'm a bassist as well and I think, that his presence is truly awesome.
LPU11
Honestly, I don't really deserve it. But I want it so badly. I've been a fan for years, since Hybrid Theory. I still remember how moved I was in the sixth grade by the stories in their lyrics. I still remember how amazed I was to hear music like that. I'd grown up on some softer stuff, and Linkin Park taught me how to be who I am now. They've honestly changed my life, for the better.
I really believe in what Linkin Park stands for. The rebellious attitude, the dedicated and extremely well treated fan base, even their lame video game.
LPU 11 - I would like to win because Linkin Park is basically the first heavy rock band I ever heard and I loved it. I started listening to them when Meteora first came out. I played that album every second of every day when I was 12. For Christmas, my parents got me Hybrid Theory, and that album was also blasted daily. My grandfather also died Christmas day. I was 13 at the time and very close to him. That CD seriously got me through that whole episode.
They were also completely responsible to my transition into rock, and if it was not for them,I would have not delved back into older rock such as Black Sabbath and even Van Halen. I pretty much have them to thank for getting me involved into music at all because before that, all I listened to was mainstream pop radio when they still played a little bit of rock along with some ok hip hop. After I really got into them, I was an LPU member for years 4 and 5, but afterwards it became too much money to maintain for my mother.
I've always loved the LPU CDs. I've listened to some that my friends have, and I love hearing the raw demos, exclusive songs, and the tracks that never made the album. It really shows how the band progresses. I love songs like "Across the Line" and "What We Don't Know" just as much as I love hearing some of their cool live stuff such as the cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Wish" and they're sweet medley of "Step Up/Nobody's Listening/It's Goin Down."
Linkin Park is a great band, and even though they sound different now when they did back then, I'm glad that they have evolved and have experimented with what they want to do instead of listening to some corporate jerk telling them to rehash the same song over and over again.
LPU 11, I have all their albums, listen to their music everyday, they're my favourite band ever. The first band i've listened to and liked, and my dad was the one who showed me their music, which is why i've grown attached to LP.
LPU 11 - Linkin Park should wise the **** up and start writing the stuff they were producing in Hybrid Theory and Meteora albums and maybe the ACTUAL REAL fans of Linkin Park will start listening again, instead of doing covers of Adele songs and writing stuff that sounds like ****ing trance music!! I mean they're not even rock anymore!!
because no1 can love lp as i love it . Their lyrics which desscribe our everyday life, which makes us think about our life. but in this ****ing country lp will never come . it always be my dream to go on Lps lives
Went to their concert in Camden a few months ago. They performed rolling in the deep which now has like 10 million views on youtube!! Winning this would be epic
Reading some of the serious posts is kinda funny because if they were such huge linkin park fans, you'd think they'd already have a membership.
haha yeah exactly. OMG OMG I'M THE BIGGEST FAN EVEREVEREVEREVER..... Aye, but i'm not gonna PAY lol
Dude, i love linkin park but i'm not rollin in money. I can buy their merch because i can buy one at a time as i get the money to do so but seriously...memberships cost a bit more than what i'm willing to pay. I'm a LP fan for life but i'm also kinda broke :/
LPU 11
Linkin Park is the band that really spoke to me, and got me into music when I was a kid. I think that the ways that they have been involved with different things going on in the world, and the efforts they have taken to help other people are nothing short of amazing. I have a great respect for them as musicians, and think that the different material they have released shows that they are a band that is true to what they want and that they are willing to take chances. I believe that Linkin Park as a band will go down as one of the greatest bands of our time.
Because I can haz? And I can ask politely: Please I can haz?
On a more serious note, Linkin Park has been my favorite band for a few years. I liked HT and Meteora but M2M is what really blew me away. Flame me, but I like ATS more than their first 2 albums. It's a different, new perspective on life and proves the band has matured. Well, the fans have too
Wether I win or loose, just keep making music, keep experimenting and keep growing musically beyond the boundaries of your minds. Thanks for sharing a piece of who you guys are with the world through your songs. Love, peace and chicken grease!
LPU 11 : Quiero ser ganador porque ademas de que me gusta mucho Linkin Park nunca he ganado nada y pienso que esta es una buena forma de hacerlo y mas con una banda que me hace sacar todos mis sentimientos con las mejores canciones
LPU 11. I should be chosen as the winner because while I have only been a fan of LP for a few years, no other band speaks to me in the way Linkin Park does. I love all of their music, including their new stuff. In my opinion, A Thousand Suns is miles better than Hybrid Theory or Meteora. There is no "old" or "new" LP to me. Their music has gotten me through many tough times in my life. Before I discovered Linkin Park, I hated all genres of music besides straight rock. As I listened to Linkin Park more and more, I found my musical tastes finally opening up to hip hop and electronic music. I look up to each of the guys in Linkin Park and I'm so glad that they put the money they make towards Music for Relief and helping people in need. So in short, Linkin Park has been a major factor in shaping me into the man I am today and I have tried to scrape together money every year the new membership package is announced, but it just never happens, unfortunately. I would be honored to be part of the LPU.
LPU 11 I should be chosen because I was one of the first generation that made LP known in Turkey. I've spent my entire teenager times with LP's music and still appreciate what they've done for the music industry. Their "hybrid" music and sound made the genres mash-up with each other and encouraged many industrial and electronic rock bands get more active on the mainstream music scene. Apart from that, since LP's been in Turkey for a gig only once, we can't see their shows often, so at least I could be given a chance to be a part of LPU to feel more recognized as a fan way away from US.
LPU 11. I've always been inspired by their music and I remember the first CD I ever got was Hybrid Theory. I'd hate to think I was missing out on some of your music simply because I can't afford a membership.
LPU 11> Linkin Park was the reason I took up music.. There are many others as inspiration for me picking up the guitar etc, but without LP i would've never even started it.. I want to be part of LPU 11 to be closer to the band.. I have almost grown up with them, and evolved with the music..
Linkin Park made me get out of the cold and lost and desperation!! Linkin Park is the first band that I like and I don't mind to let LP to be the last!
LPU 11 it's been so long, eleven years that LP is rokin' the scene? I know every song, every lyrics. I've been at two concerts so far, but they've never choosen me for M&G so i given up already. But if someone could give me one more chance to be a part of official Linkin Park fan club maybe I would go for next two concerts and win the M&G passes? I hope so
LPU 11
I really want to win because I am, I guess the only person here who has heard every single one of their songs and I also saw them play when they came to Dubai (Yas Marina Island).
LPU11. I should win because I'm Amish and how many Amish people do you know leave their community to broaden their horizons and this only helps out more. Thanks!
LPU11 When I got my GCSE results, it wasn't a good day but I just went upstairs to my room, put on papercut and it made everything better. What music is supposed to be about.
My little godson is baptized next month and I am saving all my money so I can fullfil all his wishes. I love Linkin Park so much, but I want to be the best auntie in the world for my three nephews and I would give them my last penny. This is why I deserve to win the membership - I've got the best reason for not purchasing it.

(Sorry for the double post, but I forgot the "LPU11" XD)
LPU11 - I should be the winner because whenever I'm down or not in a good mood I can just stick Linkin Park and and I will immediately feel better, and Linkin Park was my inspiration to pick up a guitar and start to make and write my own music so I have so much to thank them.
LPU 11 - I'm a Ukrainian fan of LP and none of my friends are in LPU membership because most of them don't like your music or just listen only to few of your songs, but... I've been your fan since 2007 and every moment I've wanted to be one of those people who are in LPU Membership, the people who can share their emotions with each other. It's quite difficult and for me almost impossible to get LPU Membership in Ukraine, so this is my only chance...I hope you guys will understand me... Thanks
LPU11 - Because I'm watching Mission Impossible 2 as we speak and Linkin Park is f****ng awesome, even if they're not related to Mission Impossible 2. Oh and Tom Cruise is having sex with a hot girl as we speak. Sex, Mission Impossible 2 and Linkin Park, three of my favorite things in the world all at once! I'm soooo happy!
LPU11 - I remember when Hybrid theory came out and I loved it. Then I grew up and started listening to (in my opinion) much better music than their shit.
LPU11. Because this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, and I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
Because I've been thinking the whole day, what I can write here and I still can not find words to describe my feelings and my thoughts and the wish to get this membership. Its just to much to put it in words or in a little comment. Its indescribable.
I want this membership , cause I am a proud LP soldier from the heart. They helped me so much in my life and I want to support them as good as possible. And how could that works better as beeing a LPU11 member?
LPU11. Because I believe Linkin Park are and will remain legends that changed music. They integrated nu-metal the airwaves. They have changed with each album, taken risks, grown as musicians and songwriters, all without "selling out". Each member contributes to the band as a whole, whether it be in the studio, live, writing, or videos. Linkin Park has endured the modern music industry, sold millions of albums, founded a music festival, worked with charities, branched to numerous side projects, all while staying true to their fans in the process.
i love all types of music from every genre, and i dont think you can even place a genre on Linkin Park they are the perfect blend. They've been my favorite band since i was little and its because of them that i started playing guitar in the first place, so in a way linkin park is the reason i always come to this site, haha

What happened to linkin park?? it all started going down hill from min to midnight.. i cant even call myself a fan after like a thousond suns.. electro pop.. they changed.. n not in a good way
I hope I can be the winner, because I love Linkin Park, best band ever! I have only been to one concert and never had a chance to meet 'em. And if I have a Underground pass, I have a much bigger chance for a "Meet and Greet", which is one of my biggest dreams!
LPU 11
I think I should win this because I really love Linkin Park. I went to their Taipei show as my very first concert. It's been two months and I'm still on a high from it!
I should win because I was a dedicated LPUer for the first 5 years and can't afford it anymore, especially since it's like 45 pounds now. C'mon! DO IT UG DO IT!
LPU 11 - Because Linkin Park Got Me Into Listening To Music. They Were The First Band I Heard And I Got Into Them Hard. Now I Listen To Hardcore, Metalcore, Deathcore, Metal in General but I Will Never Forget Who Got Me Into It At The Start...
LPU 11 - I should win because Linkin Park are one of my favourite bands. When they said they would be doing a UK tour I was delighted, but, much to my disapointment were only playing in England and not Scotland which is not much of a "UK" tour, which meant i did not see them so I feel this should be made up to me!
This is the reason i should win: i went to freakin' Germany for a Linkin Park gig. I paid 200,- to see these guys. I spent 4 hours travelling, sat in the cold for 8 hours, until we were allowed in.
Now the good part: I got to see 5 songs before some German douchebag decided to make my girlfriend faint. I spent the rest of the show in the first aid unit with my girl, thus missing out on the entire show.

LPU11. I think I should win because, you see, I suck at guitar, and when i take a photo of myself and then post it on facebook or someting I don't get alot comments like "omg u so sexy".. But I have a friend, he's damn ugly, and he has guitar too... But he can't even play the D chord, but he took a picture of him with guitar and Linkin Park t-shirt and posted it on facebook and the next day chicks were jumping around him.
So I was thinking, he's ugly, he has guitar... I'm ugly, I have a guitar.. What has he that I dont?
LINKIN PARK T-SHIRT!
LPU11 I should win because Linkin Park has helped me through my trials in life. They've been there for me when i needed music most that gives me strength. I dont know what id do if i didnt have Linkin Park.
LPU11 well, i have always thought about joining..it sounds like an amazing community to be a part of but ive always thought for me personally is it worth it? i work full time..run a youth group..im in a band...so would i find the time to go on chats, go to meet n greets and all the other benefits LPU has to offer?
i did do the tester weekend but it only gave you chats and vids..which was great and the fans were great.ive been a fan since one step closer, but i only managed to see them live for the first time at download festival 2010....they were amazing!! i would love to go to one of their summits and meet them.
not only are they excellent musicians but amazing people too who do what they can for charities and worthy causes which is more than can be said of most overpaid talentless fame-seekers these days. truly inspirational. ma ma ma mike shinoda (sorry couldnt resist)
