No they didn't, Taja. Linkin Park can't be pop metal. They'd have to have pop music playing in the background, which they obviously don't.

And I really don't know why Ceel is so worked up about this. I don't like Cradle of Filth, but that doesn't mean I go calling them little pansies who suck at anything involving music. Are you compensating for something, Ceel?

Someone once complained of Metallica selling out. Their response?

"Yeah, we sold out. Every damn show."

Someone's been watching VH1.
