Linkin Park

Linkin Park (one of my first favourite bands) started out with just three people, Drummer Rob Bourdon,guitarist Brad Delson, and MC/vocalist Mike Shinoda. they attended school together in southern California and started a band called Xero. Bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, singer Mark Wakefield, and DJ/art student Joseph Hahn later joined the group and decided on the name Linkin Park, the mispelled version of Lincoln Park. Chester Bennington also joined the group and shared vocals with Mike Shinoda. Likin Park released their debut album Hybrid Theory in the year 2000. where the songs In The End and Crawling were huge radio hits. In January 2002 recieved 3 grammy mominations and sold over 7 million copies. Their next album Meteora was released in March 2003. In this album the songs Numb, Somewhere I Beling and Breaking the Habit were great hits and scored simultaneously on the Billboard top 100. In 2005 Jay-Z idea of having a solo hip hop project to Mike Shinoda and Mike did with the dubbing project Fort Minor. In 2006 Linkin Park grouped up again to make their third album, which saw Shinoda sharing production credits with Rick Rubin and so Minutes to Midnight arrived. Being number one in many countries with the song What I've done. In the year 2010 the band teamed up again with Rick Rubin to work on the album A Thousand Suns.
