[categorii ca discography, awards, etc... nu se vor posta aici]

Linkin Park is an American rock band from Agoura Hills, California. Since their formation in 1996, the band has sold more than forty-million albums and won two Grammy Awards.They achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005. Their following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.

Recognized for their adaptation of the nu metal and rap rock genre into a radio-friendly yet densely-layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the band moved away from this and explored a variety of other genres in their latest studio album, Minutes to Midnight. The album topped the Billboard charts and had the third best debut week of any album that year. They are also known for their several collaborations, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mash-up album Collision Course, and many other artists on Reanimation

Early years (1996–1999)

Originally consisting of three high school friends, Linkin Park’s foundation was anchored by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson along with Rob Bourdon After graduating from high school, the California natives began to take their musical interests more seriously, recruiting Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band then titled Xero. Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda’s make-shift bedroom studio in 1996. Tensions and frustration within the band grew after they failed to land a record deal. The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield, at that time the band's vocalist, to leave the band in search for other projects. Farrell would also leave the band to tour with Tasty Snax and other bands.

After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield's replacement, Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue, the vice president of Zomba Music, had referred him to the band in March 1999. Bennington, formerly of Grey Daze, became a standout among applicants on account of his unique singing style. The band changed their name from Xero to Hybrid Theory. The newborn vocal chemistry between Shinoda and Bennington helped revive the band, inciting them to work on new material. The band’s renaissance culminated with a change in name; from Hybrid Theory, the band changed their name to Linkin Park, a play on and homage to Santa Monica’s Lincoln Park. However, despite these changes, the band still struggled to sign a record deal. After facing numerous rejections from several major record labels, Linkin Park turned to Jeff Blue for additional help. After failing to catch Warner Bros. Records on three previous reviews, Jeff Blue, now the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, helped the band sign a deal with the company in 1999. The band released their breakthrough album, Hybrid Theory, the following year.

Style
Both Hybrid Theory and Meteora intertwined the nu metal and rap rock sound with influences and elements from hip-hop, alternative rock, and electronica, utilizing programming and synthesizers. William Ruhlmann from Allmusic regarded it as "a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style, whereas Rolling Stone called "Breaking the Habit" "risky, beautiful art".

In Minutes to Midnight the band experimented with their established sound and sees them drawing influences from a wider and more varied range of genres and styles, a process Los Angeles Times compares to a stage in U2's work. In it, only two of the songs feature rapping. It also is their first studio album to feature guitar solos.

Linkin Park's use of two separate vocalists has become a large part of their music. Chester Bennington is most known for using growling and screaming vocals common in various forms of metal, while also using more melodic singing, and has placed 46th in Hit Paraders list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists".

Mike Shinoda is the group's MC, and does all of the rapping. Mike has also done all of the backing vocals live, and in their latest album, Minutes to Midnight, he sings lead vocals on "In Between", "Hands Held High" and the B-side "No Roads Left". Shinoda has also been placed in Hit Parader's list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists" at number 72.

pot spune cateceva despre ei:Componenta: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, Brad Delson, Phoenix, Joe Hahn, Rob Bourdon.

“Cea mai mare greseala pe care o fac unii este aceea de a spune ca suntem doar o trupa de rock”, spune chiaristul de la Linkin Park, Brad Delson.

“Noi consideram muzica noastra un hibrid a ceea ce am ascultat noi sase de-a lungul timpului. Titlul albumului nostru de debut, “Hybrid Theory” este de fapt numele pe care voiam sa-l purtam ca trupa si este rezultatul a sase moduri de a intelege muzica si a sase personalitati artistice distincte.”

Linkin Park inseamna rock, hip-hop, electronic, rock alternativ. Cei sase membri ai trupei sunt originari din sudul Californiei. Ideea trupei a aparut intr-un mic dormitor al vocalistului Mike Shinoda, unde acesta impreuna cu Delson au inregistrat primul material, in 1996. Cei doi fusesera colegi de scoala. Acolo l-au intilnit si pe bateristul Rob Bourbon. Shinoda l-a racolat pe DJ Joseph Hahn in timpul studiilor la Art Center College in Pasadena. Delson l-a adus pe bassistul Phoenix care a parasit trupa dupa colegiu, dar s-a intors dupa un an. Ultima piesa a trupei a fost vocalistul Chester Bennington, din Arizona, care facea inregistrari de la 16 ani. “Cind aveam doi ani, ma pasiona ce cintau Foreigner. De cnd am invatat sa vorbesc, spuneam tuturor ca voi deven cintaret“, isi aminteste Bennington.

“Desi stilurile noastre sunt diferite, am incercat ca sound-ul sa fie natural, sa nu fie fortat - asta inseamna sa ai identitate ca trupa”, declara bassistul Phoenix.

Influentele vin de la Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin si The Roots.

“Vrem ca totul sa sune unitar. Inregistram totul intr-un computer pentru a putea sa fie bine integrate partile digitale si cele live. Petrecem ore intregi in studio mixind si aranjind totul astfel incit sa obtinem cele mai bune combinatii”, marturiseste Shinoda.
