As you all know, Imagine Dragons took over the role of Official Transformers Live Action Movie Band from Linkin Park who performed for the last three movies.
Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington talked to Europa Plus, a radio station in Moscow regarding their involvement with Transformers: Age Of Extinction and CB fan website chesterbnetwork.com translated the interview.
Question: Will the band participate in the creation of music for the fourth part of “Transformers”?Chester: There’s definitely some discussion going on, something related to producing music, so I hope everything will be settled and we can take part in the new Transformers. We really like the film itself, and our partnership with Transformers. We grew up loving the Transformers, so it is very cool to be a part of this.

Zombie thread dude, sorry. Welcome to TFW, though!

I know that some people don\'t like certain music, and that\'s fine with me, you do you. But to actually say they should all be killed is a really horrible thing to say as they have moved hundreds of thousands if not milions of people and have helped them. If you even took a few minutes to actually listen to them, you wouldn\'t hate them so much. Stop being such a pile of crap all because you don\'t like them. And no, they do NOT sound the same as Imagine Dragons. They aren\'t even in the same Genre.

ok maybe the irediscent is different but it's hella preachy sounding…..but listen to the chorus lines from new divide and what i've done it's almost identical.
ive never been a fan of these guys but after three songs its time for something new.
BooyakaDragon
Uh, New Divide, What I've Done, and Irediscent sound COMPLETELY different and I don't even like 2 of those songs.
Linkin Park is not trash, it's just not YOUR type of music
optimusmegas
amen…im glad to get something new. i dont know much about imagine dragons but ive been sick of linkin park since that crawling song. all 3 movie themes sound alike you could play them all for me and id still not know which is which.
from what i heard the new theme is alright i haven't heard enough to say it's better but new characters, new looks, new theme….im down for that.
PrimulArchangel
Pretty much everything about it I dislike lol

I could give or take Linkin Park music as a whole, but at this point their involvement is more than cliche, not to mention all 3 of their movie "themes" sound naturally very similar and thus it is getting boring. It is formulaic and lacks thought.
primushatesyou
Why? I like their music, what don't you like about it?
PrimulArchangel
I say put them in the movie to be blown up and killed or something. Please no more of their music in the movies…
optimusmegas
wait wait wait….the lead singer of linkin park is named chester bennington?? sounds like the name of some rich stuck up snob from an 80's movie. he's closing down the rec center to make room for big buisness and only the local youths can stop him with epic montage action!
trence5
yeah, you would think so……
LegendAntihero
I hope they get a track in the film as long as its memorable
Faceless
I hope not. Linkin Park are rubbish.
Chaos Muffin
Nooo! So frikn sick of linkin park. They get more pansier sounding each year.
Give that shit to the Care Bears.

To be fair, movies like this need and extra year to give for filming and post production. I do feel like they rush these movies out too fast. And if the total process was given at 3 years, these movies could be GREAT instead of just good.

Movies can go through development hell for years, just because something's announced doesn't mean the work being made is anything useful in the long run.
So the concept art to substitute for any sort of final renderings, the shitty trailer CGI, the reshoots just months before the movie release (if they're done with those) and the shitty tie in game doesn't give it away? Or are you referring to how I'm seeing a pattern in the toys looking more like they were developed before the designers had a chance to see what they would look like on screen?
Livingdeaddan
Yeah, that's what I thought! Maybe it's the vocals that were the problem?!
Livingdeaddan
I hope to god this is just down to Chesters wishfull thinking! Imagine Dragons are nothing special, but the song they got on AOE is a vast improvement to the drivel linkin park submitted for the last 3 movies!
Cyber Star
Glad to hear that Linkin Park's not out of the running yet!

Score is always last becuase how on earth do you time music to an unedited film?
