[edit] Song Meaning

On the page it says that the song is actually about Chester's past. However, from what I've read in various articles it's not about him, but he had a hard time singing it because he was able to relate to it so closely. Perhaps the article should be rewritten to note this?

um the text about the who the song was written about does not make sense. it first says people think it was written about chester, then it says it was written by mike, the way this text is written does not make sense. using the words "when in fact" confuses the reader because the two bits of information are not connected in any way 71.166.51.76 (talk) 23:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

On another note, during The Making of Meteora Mike says that he was the one who wrote Breaking the Habit and I am going to correct the page. --SayCheese 17:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Animation

The animation style looks alot like the style used in "Kid's Story" for the Animatrix. Wikipedia says Studio 4°C was the production company behind "Kid's Story".

  • Anybody know if the animation is fully original or has pieces of something else? - SkarmoryThePG 11:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
It's fully original. Patrick Tatopoulous came up with the backgrounds and the rest was animated live footage. --SayCheese 17:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Why can't people take cool video clips (like this or Pts.of.Arthry. and make movies outta them? <.< I'd watch in a heartbeat - SkarmoryThePG 11:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to have to correct you there, SayCbeese; only the band's performance at the end of the video was based on live footage. Everything else was hand-designed. By the way, not only were "Kid's Story" and the video for "Breaking the Habit" made by the same studio, the animation for them was led by the same person. -Unknownwarrior33 16:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually I might be wrong - there's a lot of confused information on the subject. -Unknownwarrior33 16:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The animation studio was GONZO? What? Source? From what I've heard, Production I.G. did the animation.

[edit] Stub?

I removed the stub tag from the page, but I don't quite understand the directions on the template at the top of this page. Could someone address them? Paul Haymon 11:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Power Ballad?

Couldn't we classify this song as a power ballad?Lpfan4eva1990 (talk) 23:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chester's Face

I counted that Chester's face flashes on the screen 25 times in the video. Is this correct? Bentu 01:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IT'S NOT NU METAL, SO QUIT IT.

Geez... you might as well say it's country music unless you have the proper genre. Out of all the songs on Meteora, this one is the furthest from Nu Metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.30.200 (talk) 16:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, Wesleydodds, for some reason you are Anti-Linkin Park. If you've ever listened to this song, you would hear that this is NOT a Nu Metal influenced song, but rather an Alternative Rock song. So, stop it unless you have some sort of mind controlling device to make me think that an Alternative Rock song is a Nu Metal song. But until you come up with this device, I will stand to fight your bias changes in the genre of this song. 4.68.248.132 (talk) 00:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dare I say.... Post Rock?

Nu Metal just can't describe this song, because this song breaks away from traditional Nu Metal songs. Post Rock is the best description because there isn't screaming, heavy guitar riffs, or a hip hop beat. So, technically it can't be described as Nu Metal, and therefore Post Rock. Also, Electronica is part of Post Rock, so Post Rock describes the use of violins and whatnot. Nu Metal would be a false genre and will be taken down. I think Alternative Rock is a good genre for this, but somebody keeps on taking it down and replacing it with Nu Metal. So, unless someone has a better genre, Post Rock will be listed and Nu Metal will be taken down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.30.200 (talk) 03:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
