The Story Behind Linkin Park
Posted by admin in Linkin Park, World Of Music on May 26, 2011
Linkin Park is a popular band, and hundreds, if not thousands, download music videos from the group every day. If you are one who loves to watch music videos of this group, take some time to learn a little more in-depth information about the group and its members.
History of Linkin Park
The band started with Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon, three high school friends from California who enjoyed playing together. After graduation, they decided to see how far they could take their group, and then recruited three new members: Joe Han, Dave Ferrell, and Mark Wakefield. The new group gave themselves the name “Zero” and began to record and produce their own songs. The original songs were produced in Mike’s bedroom studio, but they were struggling to land a record deal.
As with many similar bands, the lack of success led to tension. This caused two of the members to leave. First to leave was Wakefield, who was Xero’s vocalist, followed by Farrell, who went on to tour with other groups.
The group had to recruit a new vocalist, and they turned to Chester Bennington. His unique singing style landed him a spot, and the new group changed its name to Hybrid Theory. As the band came back to life, it changed its name again to Linkin Park. Read the rest of this entry »

During the month of Spring Break while I was in South Beach, me and a couple of friends were having a very heated argument about what would be the ultimate Linkin Park song list of all time. Now I know that picking your favorite songs is a matter of one’s opinion. But I came up with an idea! I was going make my list based on the power & impact that each song had on my life when it was released. Here is a list of my top ten favorite songs, and I think you’ll be surprised at my picks…
10. Bleed It Out – This song came off the group’s 2007 Minutes to Midnight album and tells a compelling story about how they have to dig deep from with inside themselves to bleed out all of the pain that someone caused just so they can throw it all away. With the killer drum kicks by Rob Bourdon and the powerful lead vocals by Chester Bennington. You can really feel this song in your soul.
9. Somewhere I Belong – This song is one of my favorites because of the oneness and closeness that I feel with this classic song. “I had nothing to say and I get lost in the nothingness inside of me” really paints a vivid picture about how empty one feels inside.
8. One Step Closer – Every time I hear this song I think about a bad relationship that getting worse by the minute. The killer guitar riffs by David and Brad is what makes this song that much more powerful! Read the rest of this entry »
