Linkin Park is a fresh new type of music that is brand new to the public eye. Most people recognize Linkin Park from the song "One Step Closer". With the mix of Hip Hop, Rock and Electronic mixing, it gives Linkin Park a very unique sound. It is truly one of a kind. It is a type of music that a majority of people can enjoy being practically impossible to resist from bouncing your head to the catchy beat. Amazingly, Linkin Park has made their way to the top of the charts with powerful lyrics without any profanity. Which in todays hell driven times, it is a very rarity to find a band to do this and accually be successful.
Their old name being Xer0 (Then changing to Hybrid Theory), we now refer to them as Linkin Park, changing their name to avoid legal confrentation with another band with the same name. They spelled in Linkin Park instead of Lincoln Park so they could purchase the domain name. The band used to be just 4 members, Mike, Rob, Brad and Joseph. They were looking for another singer and sent Chester a tape to sing or make up lyrics to. He jumped on the oportunity and recorded them on his birthday and called them back right away. He played his tape over the phone and the band was very impressed and told him to fly over. And boom, we have Linkin Park!
About members of group
CHESTER
Date Of Birth : 3/20/76
Chesters vocals are incredibly emotional. Whether that be screaming and expressing extreme anger and rage, or softly and beautifully expressing his depression, his lyrics will always go straight to your soul and instantly you will relate to them
MIKE
Date Of Birth : 2/11/77
Mike brings the hip hop elements to the group. Responsible for all the great rhyme cuts that out of no where hit you right in the face, he is one of the most gifted vocalists in the business.
BRAD
Date Of Birth : 12/1/77
Brad has an amazing range of things he can do with his guitar. Not only can he rip though your chest with an incredible riff, he is also capable of taking it down a few notches and making some AMAZINGLY melodic tunes.
JOE
Date Of Birth : 3/15/77
The secret ingredience to the band's great sound is Mr.Hahn. All the incredible samples and turntable action that bring LP to a new level of music that few ever reach...are all brought to us by the great Mr.Hahn.
ROB
Date Of Birth : 1/20/79
The drums play an enormous role in the beat of a song. The drum beat is what holds the entire song together, and creates the tune which you normally tap your feet to. Rob provides this beautifully the LP.
PHOENIX
Date Of Birth : 2/8/77
Phoenix's bass lines have a tendancy to get stuck in your head if you crank the bass on your system. This is something that can't be said for most people who play that instrument.
