Dead Sara vocalist Emily Armstrong joined Linkin Park earlier this year in a move that’s excited most fans of the band but has also had its share of detractors. The band’s late singer, Chester Bennington, left an indelible impression, so taking his spot is no easy task.
In a new interview with Marcelo Vieira, guitarist Noodles from punk/alternative staples The Offspring discussed Linkin Park’s hiring of Armstrong, and he’s a big fan. “I think it’s an amazing and a brave choice for them,” he said. “I know a lot of people aren’t going to accept a female singer — just for whatever reason; I think it’s a dumb reason.”
He continued: “Emily is amazing. She’s got such an amazing voice. We got to do a tour with Dead Sara before. “I wish those guys the best. I hope they’re as successful as ever, ’cause Emily’s amazing and those guys are just great guys and they make great music.”
