Linkin Park is strongly rumored to be fielding offers for a 2025 reunion tour - with at least three surviving members supposedly in talks to reform with a female vocalist stepping in for the late Chester Bennington… Why do these rumors stir up such strong emotions for us? Is the idea of seeing the surviving members celebrate the band’s legacy (and assumably the 25th anniversary of “Hybrid Theory”) that tantalizing, or is the notion of Linkin Park continuing on without Chester simply unimaginable?

That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.

How can a band or artist in good conscience embark on a multi-year “farewell tour” only to reunite shortly after? Is the money they earn from these tours worth the damage they cause to their credibility? And why do fans enable this behavior and pay a hefty price for the chance to say “goodbye” to their favorite artists (only to spend even more on tickets for the eventual reunion tour)?

That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.
