    1. Hannah Montana is over, right? She's just Miley, right? Either way, I'm tired of teen pop star hate. It's old and tired.
    2. *Write.
    3. "The Rainbow Bright Live Action Film". GEEWURNNER, are we?
    4. I kinda liked Minutes to Midnight. Thousand Suns is just garbage.

    Hm... I quite enjoy this song, to be perfectly honest ~~

    And I think it would fit as a closer, however, I do prefer the previous Linkin Park songs they have used in the other TF movies.

    No offense, but the original theme kind of sucks anyway. Unless they somehow amp and epic it to the maximum possible level , and even then if it sounds good, when it awkwardly positions itself in one id the roll out scenes or post ass kicking scenes, itl be too much of a jolt, you'll recognize the tune, you'l remember youre sitting in a cinema chair, and the 'magic' of the movie disappears.

    Unless they work it into the intro or credits.that'd be cool.

    Just listened to the song for the first time and I don't think it fits...at all. I hope they at least remix it or something if it's actually in the movie. If it's really the end of the epic, I think In the End would work better.

    And I wish they would get Moby or Armin Van Buuren to remix Lion's original theme for the movie.

    Just checked the twitter of Mike Shinoda (LP member), they shot the burning in the skies video 2 days ago, so it obviously won't feature in TF3.

    Gonna see Linkin Park in concert this Sat. I would be beyond excited if they happened to let slip which song of theirs is actually featured in the 3rd movie. That would be awesome.

    Hopefully it will be a good show.

    I hope they keep Linkin Park but the song that the producers and such chose for DOTM will never ever top "New Divide". The song is pure Transformers

    YouTube - Linkin Park - New Divide (Live Sonisphere 01.08.2009) PROSHOT

    Listen to the beginning. The sound is just appropriate. At 2:48-3:02, the sound is wrought with the intensity of a group of Autobots on the road heading to finish a fight.

    Linking Park was in KC for a concert a week and a half ago and I can tell you that the crowd went absolutely nuts for both TFs songs. The songs were played about an hour apart and the crowd erupted for both songs. Quite the awesome experience.

    Listening to the song again, it sounds like it will work with Dark of the Moon.

    I don't care what anyone says, New Divide was a freaking awesome song. While I can understand their most recent CD, I just can't appretiate it like I did their other ones. I'd rather have em go back from their old songs and use it for DOTM.

    Hell, I'd love for them to do my favorite: Pushing Me Away

    How on earth is this song "pure Transformers" - nothing about it screams giant battling space robots. It sounds like the normal trash LP put out.

    I've never liked the songs LP put out, let alone the ones for the TF films, they're just generic rock band flavour-of-the-month. If this were the 90's it'd be Soundgarden, NIN or Smashing Pumpkins doing these theme songs.
