It will probably come as no surprise to most that Linkin Park may be featured on the Transformers DOTM soundtrack considering their strong relationship with the Transformers movie franchise. The first Transformers film featured their single "What I've Done" and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen featured "New Divide". Transformers:LAMB is reporting director Michael Bay has selected "Burning in the Skies" from Linkin Park's album "A Thousand Suns" for the DOTM soundtrack. The "Burning In The Skies" International Music Video can be viewed here.

Additionally Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington have both dropped hints regarding their involvement.

Shinoda stated in this interview on YouTube that while they haven't produced a song exclusively for the film that doesn't mean they can't use one that's already complete.

In an interview posted at The Linkin Park Times Chester Bennington also hints of their involvement:

RY: Are you working on the soundtrack for Transformers: Dark of the Moon?

CB: I don’t know if I’m at liberty to tell you yet [winks]. But it looks promising. I think we go hand in hand with those films. A lot of our younger fans call us the Transformers band.


So there you have it. It appears there is a very high probability we will be hearing Linkin Park on the upcoming DOTM soundtrack. What do you think? Is "Burning in the Skies" a good choice?

Yeah, they are the other way. I love burning in the skies, It's a lot more serious and darker than the other two songs too, I hope that also reflects the mood of the movie.

HELLZ YEAH!! Definitely need Linkin Park on board with Transformers 3. I think The Catalyst is a much better fit for a theme for the new movie. The song in this link is too passive. But The Catalyst would definitely rock!! :KREMZEEK: :KREMZEEK:

EXCELLENT CHOICE!!! :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE:

It's just too bad that it's a bit more cerebral than what the average Transformer fan can handle because this song fits so well into the reported tones of this movie on so many levels. The songs associated with the first 2 films both fit nicely with their respective movies but LP had the benefit of working in direct conjunction with the franchise on those. For this new song to work so well for the upcoming film speaks very highly of LP's understanding and empathy regarding world affairs and their ability to translate that into such an all encompassing track and also gives a bit more validity to Bay's claims about the turn that TF3 is taking in regards to tone and general plot/theme.

Can we please get som Rap or Hip Hop for a change ??? Even the old Ninja Turtles movies had rap on the soundtracks. Why must the Transformers series be cursed with boy bands from middle america ??? :SICK: :SICK: :SICK:

the movies with out Linkin Park just doesn't make any sense, like Chewbacca living on Endor, it just doesn't make sense. If a Transformers movie needs to have a Linkin Park song you must acquit.

But seriously I think it'll be a great song for the movie.

Never heard of him.

I listen to real rap music like Three Six Mafia, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Juvenile, Trick Daddy, Zero, David Banner, etc. And cant forget my hometown classic 2 Live Crew. Back on topic, I believe Something as big as Transformers deserves a hit single from a mainstream Hip Hop artist. Maybe not one as dirty south for my tastes, but at least give us Eminem or Jay-Z.

Here in Miami we say the same thing about rock music and boy bands. I know it seems shocking, but some ghetto mannered people actually collect Transformers. Theres more to music than gutiar hero.

Well, LP doing the title song for the film is a staple at this point, and that song does seem to have the continuing sound you'd expect, but tamer, almost a finality in its tone which makes sense. Am a bit surprised that its a song chosen rather than something new though.

I'll agree with one thing; they could definitely use some decent wrap on the soundtrack, period. But, sorry, being the rap lover I am I gotta say the range of available good rap is growing more narrow by the passing year.

And what, may I ask, is wrong with coming from the struggling-to-maintain label of 'middle America'?

Nothing is wrong with "Middle America" my friend. But I come from Miami which is a very multi-cultural city. In Miami, we mostly have Latin American, African American, and Carribean influences. Yeah we got white people too but they are actually the minorty. (No disrespect Im half white) So naturally the things that might be popular in "Middle America" just arent popular down here. Boy bands are considered gay by most people here, including women. Only tweens and kiddies enjoy them because they havent been exposed to more adult themed music yet.

That's nice, I'm just pointing out that Linkin Park is not even close to being a "boy band" seeing as they do work with Jay-Z and started out as a nu-metal/rap group. I will admit that the soundtracks need some verity but Linkin Park is one of the selling points of the albums

Personally I enjoy it not having an rap on it. Too much bad rap is everywhere. Seriously most of the popular rap is terrible. On the other hand, I think most the rock bands on these things are terrible too. So its nothing against just rap.

I hate this.

A timeless movie score from the first film reduced to noisy, nauseating trash in the second. The first film's score will hold up for generations. The second? Not five years.

Personally, after they worked their magic on Tron, I'd love Daft Punk to do the TF3 soundtrack. I wasn't a fan of them b4 Tron but their soundtrack for taht film is amazing.

But then, I wouldn't mind seeing the director of Tron direct a TF film. He respects the source material and the Tron world does give me a Cybertronian vibe.

I'm listening to the song as I'm posting. All I have to say to Bay is a big fat...

NO!

I'm sorry, but I can't envision this song (or an orchestral, like they did in ROTF) playing during one of the fight scenes. [-(

I LOVE Linkin Park. It just wouldn't be the same if LP didn't use one of their songs for the three TF films (seeing as how this is Bay's last TF film.) I think Burning in the Skys is a great song. (Though I would have preferred The Catalyst or Iridescent.)
Re: Linkin Park Returning for DOTM? (1188055)
Posted by prowl123 on February 27th, 2011 @ 2:34pm CST
Burning in the skies is a good song for sure, but I think In The End would have been a better choice for sure. Oddly enough, I was going to post a thread about the DOTM soundtrack this morning. Burning in the Skies is just too mellow for the final film in the series. You would think that Bay would have used a more intense song for the third and final film.

Papercut would be a good song to use too.

So would One Step Closer, but they probably can't use that one because Chester screams "Shut up when I'm talking to you!" over and over in the end.

Even Waiting for the End or Blackout would be good, just not Burning in the Skies. :-?

Really anything from A Thousand Suns would be good except for any of the ones with the really old guys talking in mono. Fallout is terrible as well. I don't ever want to see that one in the media.

So in case you don't want to read my entire post, here's a list of GOOD Linkin Park songs that could have been in the movie:

Numb
In the End
Wretches and Kings
Iridescent
The Catalyst
Waiting for the End
Breaking the Habit
Somewhere I Belong

There are so many more I could list, but I might as well just type out my entire iTunes account.

In case you couldn't tell from this unnaturally long post, I'm a Linkin Park fanatic. I have been since about four or five weeks ago.

Linkin Park forever!

And for those of you who hate their half rap songs, I hate you. Nu-metal is their style and it always will be. I do wish they would bring back their old style.

Please don't let Rock and Metal die. I'd rather let Fergie and Rihanna die. :lol:

You forget though that this movie is released internationally, so going for a more international style of music would be the logical thing to do.

Secondly ... boy band? ugh ... please, they actually play instruments and write their own music. Boy bands are something you associate with the likes of Backstreet Boys and new Kids on the Block, you know, groups that just sing, don't play instruments, and have trouble writing their own stuff. To associate Linkin Park with something that untalented is unfair.

To set the record straight I dont like bands. I actually applaud sythesized music from all fronts. It makes so much sense to program the beat to loop on an sampler and keyboard instead of paying some fool to stand in the backround playing drums or guitar. In traditional rock/boy bands there is always one star and a bunch of nobodys in the backround playing instruments. Hip Hop and R&B eliminated those fools. And the best thing about rap music is that the playing field is even because anyone can do it. It's all about what you say it rather than how beautiful you can sound singing it. Thats called LYRICISM.

And for those of you who think all of "middle america" hates rap google ANDY MILONAKIS. He looks like half of the TF fans I saw at Botcon and he raps and disses pop music.

So you prefer the easier less talented way out. Fair enough.

This is awesome. In two threads in two days i've now been branded a moron and a nobody.

ahhh now that I can't really agree on. I'm by far no fan of rap, but to say that anyone can do it? nuh uh, no way. I've heard some terrible rapping from people who just should have never bothered.

And really, I have to laugh every time the subject of the soundtrack comes up. I remember when word got out that there was going to be a Sam/Mikaela love song (The Wallflowers?) and people went ballistic, but in the movie you were lucky to hear 5 seconds of it.

LP's contribution to RotF was heard less than Green Day's "21 Guns" while pretty much every other song off both soundtracks was rarely, or never heard.

So frankly, the non-instrumental score is hardly worth getting all worked up over because you hardly hear it anyway. Let's see what the instrumental can do (you know, those nobody's up the back who spent years studying and training to create music themselves and not rely on a pre-programmed synthesizer)

Sorry didnt know you played in a band no offense. But honestly sometimes dont you wish you could give the lead singer a big sze 10 boot off the stage and have your time to be in the spotlight ???

I happen to have a small home recording studio. My music hobby kind of took a backseat to Transformer collecting. But I do enjoy creating instrumentals on my Korg Triton and looping them on the MPC. And with the ease of computer recording studios, ANYONE can hit a button and record vocals to a beat on different tracks and master the volumes. I use Acid Pro 6, but I have online friends that mess with Pro Tools, Cubase, and make beats with Reason and a Midi Controller. Anyone can do this, they even teach it in high school music classes. As far as rapping, ANYONE can do it. Now if they go off beat or have no lyrical content then of course they will sound like crap. But at least they dont have to have one in a million talent to live their dream of hearing their own voice on a studio quality track. Rap music is truly "for the people". You dont have to be a star or want to be a star to get on the mic and express yourself about a wide range of topics. Although we never recorded it, Me and another rapper once had plans to do a battle rap where I was Optimus and He was Megatron. We would exchange disses back and forth to a G1 storyline. Now that would be cool no matter what kind of music you like. ;)

You can't class my taste in music because it's all over the place (and I'm not at all familiar with any of the other groups you mentioned there). It's called a light-hearted comment which I said only because I prefer 'New Divide' to 'Burning in the Skies', (I really shouldn't have to explain myself but) if anything I'm more of a classic rock person.

Oy vey, bro I wasn't being sarcastic at all, hahahah. I'm all for prodigy.

I meant more mechnical and less biological, sorry that was a bit vague..got caught up in the excitement. I meant it in regards to the movies just having too much fleshling (coz it's a band that is featured [although not that much thank god, coz the orchestra stuff is much better])and not enough mecha.

DNB is Drum and Bass, my sig link features the genre. And ya man, Rock is killer, Thin Lizzy, Monster Magnet... Ya, if its not going to be robotic music, atleast pick them good rock bands, right? haha

Ah that's okay then; confusion settled! To me it 'looked' sarcastic...Though to be fair it is tricky to 'read' sarcasm...

And I agree with the Score; more Jablonsky, STAT!

And I see what you mean, now! :D To me, metal/rock is best for anything symbolic of machinery or robotics (best example; 'Iron Man' - Black Sabbath), especially in kick-ass films!

No offense taken. My band is actually a concert band, we're talking brass and woodwind here. When you're put on the Euphonium and not allowed to play Trumpet then yes, there are times you want the spotlight because the bass part can be so bloody boring. :lol:

Steve Jablonsky is terrific. Gives the movies some emotion and feeling.

What they really need to keep in the vein of the oldschool G1 metal while still contemporizing:

Gotta totally disagree. What associates with robotics better then the electro breakdance songs of the early 80's ??? Complete with vocoder to create robot voices. (similar to todays autotune) Check out this track from 1984 titled "Clear" from none other than "Cybortron". A straight up homage to transformers when they were brand new.

Or how about this one from 1986 titled "Rock the Planet" by "The Megatrons". If I was at an energon bar on Cybertron similar to a Star Wars cantina, I imagine tracks like this would be spinning. :D

Ugh, symphonic metal... the bane of metal since nu metal.
Second ones alright. Theres much better dnb than that remix.
You want some serious dnb:

It makes total sense for LInkin Park to come back again for the final part of the Michael Bay Transformers Trilogy.
Burning in the Skies is a good track although not as upbeat as I would have expected for a TF movie.

Rap? more like these big metal warriors fighting in a stellar battle deserves to have a heavy metal
soundtrack like the animated movie had but more modern metal

Those were definitely better dubsteps i agree. I just grabbed the first one that sounded halfway alright. I the "symphonic metal" is actually just a cover of the 300 Violin Orchestra, which is beyond sweet.

Fair enough, I love orchestra, I just didn't like it mixed with metal, pardon my over critical language, I am a bit of a music enthusiast, haha.
