    Hmm you might be right.. I haven't been writing a book about it (although it's starting to feel like it :D ) I think the first movie did, but maybe ROTF didn't, just as well, that had the worse song of the 3! I still think my point stands because the association exists beyond the trailers, but yeah I should probably get my facts straight before I mouth off about!

    I love you so much.

    I'm glad to see they're coming back for this movie. My only wish is that they'd do more with their music. Revenge of the Fallen had the right idea with the the track NEST but Dark of the Moon severely underused a track that would have been perfect for that disaster movie feel it was going for.

    I like Linkin Park (at least in their early years) and am glad to learn they are back.

    Love it or hate it, these songs are good for the movies. The first 2 movie songs both charted really high (#1 on several music charts and in the top 25 in just about every major country music charts), the third movie song didn't have quite as good of success. These songs helped sell a lot of soundtrack albums.

    So many people just want their favorite song/band on the soundtrack, even if it doesn't work, or would not help sell albums.

    This is a major motion picture, Hasbro/Paramount is going to go with the most successful route. Popular director, popular band, popular actors, these all help get people into the theater seats. This isn't an independent film where a studio can take risks.

    G.I. Joe movies had the same kind of history and fan base and yet didn't do nearly as well as Transformers. Pacific Rim had giant robots and a very talented director and also didn't do as well as Transformers.

    I'm fine with lP staying. It's Michael Bay who needs to leave
