Linkin Park

 


is a homage to nu metal bands and alternative rock from Aguora Hills, California, in the United States. They had several times changed its name, such as Xero, Hybrid Theory, 0818, until the name Linkin Park until now. The name "Linkin Park" itself is a play on the name of a park in Los Angeles, Lincoln Park.

Before the lead vocalist Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Mark Wakefield first became vocalist. However, he came out from Linkin Park to look for other projects (to be manager of the band Taproot) - when it used the name Hybrid Theory - to become manager of the band Taproot. Bassist Dave Farrell aka "Phoenix" has also been out for a while from Linkin Park to follow the tour with his old band, Tasty Snax. While four other personnel - Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Rob Bourdon and - always stay on Linkin Park since the beginning of its formation.

Linkin Park has released four studio albums, namely Hybrid Theory, Meteora, Minutes to Midnight, and A Thousand Suns. Linkin Park also released the album Live in Texas, Reanimation and Collision Course, and Hybrid Theory EP. Linkin Park's success in popularizing his songs like Crawling, In the End, Numb, Somewhere I Belong, and What I've Done. In total, Linkin Park's albums have sold over 50 million copies.
