Saturday, August 25, 2007 From the beginning ...
Time when many had thought that Linkin Park was enjoying something of 'nerds'. I also found it because I got to know the band because he had heard hardly a typical conversation at school. I was about 13 to 14 years, when I got involved with my friends who liked the rock ... What for me was a big change since I left rotinade to just enjoy rap and rock come to enjoy. Everyone who knew me, asked: `What is the rock?", And I could not answer ... That time was difficult, a time when the rock was not in evidence. See a black person walking down the street, it was weird. Soon I changed my style of dress, nothing radical, but I had a positive image to the group that got involved. Everyone did the same things were no different, and it was not the 'nerds' that my friends were talking ... Enjoyed meeting people who liked rock music, because my conversation was only about this issue ... I met Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Ramones, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Niravana, System Of A Down, Linkin Park between. National bands had the same beat those other bands ... When I read I was like a 'rocker'. My style has not changed much, I made a mix of rap and rock, same style of the band Linkin Park. With baggy clothes and jeans always prevailed, was not wearing AllStar, but the shirts were made part of bands. Linkin Park began to be my favorite band, as featured in their music, mixing rock with rap, to me, Linkin Park rock was when I heard the song Crawling ... Only once told me about the various styles and genres that had, and that there was a label attached to all the songs, like rap. It was so that I began to discover the hip - hop. 2Pac, Snoop Dogg and Eminem were the first artists who bought the cd, and since then I always proaching and discussing these styles of music: rap, rock, hip - hop. After all this, the rock began to appear more frequently in the streets. The reggae was not part of my musical preferences, since that time I thought the Bob Marley kind of silly, and even finding people to easily asked: `What is reggae?", Had not much interest. Pop met through the Spice Girls, which was successful but did not attract me very much ... Had the time of the famous Britney Spears and the backstreetboys, but also felt embarrassed, because I had, shouting, rhymes, guitars, beats, basses, effects ... He found them all a farce. Today I am with a wide variety of tastes in musical genres ranging from reggae to jazz. These thoughts passed away and think that Linkin Park, after the album Meteora, would not come back, has passed through my head, but as always, the band appears innovating. I thought Points Of Authority would be the last song the band permanently, but when I learned that the band would release a new album this year, it all went by me, and reminded me of how I met Linkin Park, and see how the band grew ... With more reggeiros, most of who likes rap, pop, axé, hip - hop as fans. Since the beginning of the band's career, I have heard many things about Linkin Park. Was a time when everyone was saying that the lead singer of Linkin Park died of throat cancer ... What matters is that returned better than ever, with everyone in the band and Mike Shinoda with a solo project. Like the band's sound is nothing to 'geeks', I discovered that those friends who spoke ill of Linkin Park, also enjoy today and no problem in listening to various styles ... I listen to reggae, I've heard Britney Spears, CPM22 not like, but I hear Charlie Brown Jr. I have also heard Coldplay, Mobi, I listen to today Faction Central, Marcelo D2. I'm from the start seeing everything launched, which relaunched, truths and lies ... And Linkin Park on active duty. I will never stop enjoying this band, and seeing more and more like Linkin Park will cerscer! Posted by Fan of Linkin Park at 23:01 4 comments Band history
>>>> The band started with Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, who met in high school and became friends, and both expressed the desire to form a band. Then, in 1996, began recording the band's first material that was called Xero (pronounced: "Zirou"), shortly after joined the band: Joe Hahn, who studied with Mike at the Pasadena Art College of Design, along David "Phoenix" Farrell, who was a roommate of Brad at UCLA, Rob Bourdon, who studied with Mike and Brad in high school, and Mark Wakefield, a colleague of Mike. So was the formation of Xero: Mike Shinoda (vocals) Mark Wakefield (vocals), Joe Hahn (DJ), Phoenix (bass), Brad Delson (guitar) and Rob Bourdon (drums). Phoenix left the band for a year to join a tour with his old band, The Snax. Therefore, no part of Hybrid Theory EP. At first it was just fun, but began to call attention to a limited audience. Except that the record companies did not pay much attention to them, then decided that to continue would make some changes. Mark, for personal reasons, had to leave the band, but still a great friend of the band. At that time, Chester Bennington was in Arizona, where he was born, and sang in a band called Grey Daze, which began to grow in popularity there. So he hired a lawyer in Los Angeles to represent him in front of various stamps. And this lawyer knew that Xero was looking for a vocalist, and sent a demo tape to Chester. It was March 20, 1999. The next day he received a package of recordings with some vocals and other instruments. In three days he recorded and recorded, and then called the members of Xero, who heard the first recordings by phone. The members of Xero ordered him to go to Los Angeles immediately. The band was surprised by the power of the voice of Chester Bennington. After he joined the band, they changed their name to Hybrid Theory, but had to change again due to legal problems. These problems, because they were a band already exists with this name. The final name, Linkin Park, is an adaptation of Lincoln Park, which is a neighborhood where the homeless used to go. The change in spelling came about because the Internet domain lincolnpark.com already existed and was very expensive. >> They focused on creating demos to send to record labels. Warner Music signed them soon after. This name was well known from dali.Na spring 2000 the band began composing, he hired Don Gilmore (who had previously worked with Pearl Jam and Sugar Ray) and created the band's first album, Hybrid Theory. >> In July 2002 left Reanimation, which featured remixed versions of tracks from the first and two more songs from the EP, "My December" and "High Voltage". >> In 2003 released Meteora, which broke the record sales in the first few weeks. Then came the live album Live in Texas, which was bundled with a DVD. >> In 2004 teamed up with rapper Jay-Z to produce an album of songs mixed the two artists, Collision Course, as "Jigga What / Faint" and "Numb / Encore," which spent months playing on the radio. >> In 2007 they released their album Minutes to Midnight, which reaches the top spots on the Billboard 200. Since 2000, Linkin Park rock band is more successful commercially in the United States. The band recently completed the recording process and choice of songs that will appear on his new album, Minutes to Midnight, which was released worldwide on May 15, 2007, this album produced by Mike Shinoda and famed producer Rick Rubin, who has produced albums for bands in, like System of a Down, Slipknot, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. According to the band, this album sounds less New metal than the other, which can be proven after hearing the first single from Minutes to Midnight, "What I've Done," released on U.S. radio on April 2 2007 and is now available for download on the Internet. On 4 May 2007 - one week before launch - the entire album on the internet fell in bittorrent networks. The song retains the character of Linkin Park, but it is unlike anything they've done. That was the goal of the band, create a new sound but at the same time fans still identify as Linkin Park.Além song, also the video for "What I've Done" has fallen on YouTube, this clip is that dividing the opnion of critics and fans, as it brings various scenes related to war, environmental degradation, hunger and poverty worldwide. The change in sound throughout the album is remarkable, there are soft and melodic songs - "Valentine's Day," "In Between" - plus a strong allusion to the general message to fans worldwide. According to some, Linkin Park was heavily influenced by U2, trying to pass a political vision. Added to this the fact that the clip of 'What I've Done "was recorded in a desert, with all the band members dressed in black, which inevitably recalls the video for" Vertigo "by U2, striking resemblance to "Shadow of the Day" with "Where the Streets Have No Name" and the obvious comparison of the album cover with the cover of The Joshua Tree. Minutes to Midnight is one of the most anticipated albums of recent years - its predecessors were an absolute success and criticism. In addition, three members of the band are working on side projects. The most famous of these is Fort Minor, rap group formed by Mike Shinoda, who has much success in their first album, The Rising Tied. Another side project is the band's lead singer, Chester Bennington Charles, Dead by Sunrise (formerly Snow White Tan). In addition to Chester, a part of this project and Ryan Shuck Amir Derakh. Julien-K is the name of another band of Derakh and Shuck. And, last but not least, the film of Joe Hahn (The Seed). The video was more difficult to produce the "Breaking The Habit" said Joe, DJ and keyboardist for the band. Joe says that the whole video was drawn by hand, with 24 drawings per second, in 3 ½ minutes of music, and so calculating the total 5040 drawings.
