Formed in 1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory (2000), which became certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Released during the peak of the nu metal scene, the album's singles' heavy airplay on MTV led the singles "One Step Closer", "Crawling" and "In the End" all to chart highly on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The lattermost also crossed over to the nation's Billboard Hot 100.[1] Their second album, Meteora (2003), continued the band's success.[2] The band explored experimental sounds on their third album, Minutes to Midnight (2007).[3] By the end of the decade, Linkin Park was among the most successful and popular rock acts.[4]

The band continued to explore a wider variation of musical types on their fourth album, A Thousand Suns (2010), layering their music with more electronic sounds. The band's fifth album, Living Things (2012), combined musical elements from all of their previous records. Their sixth album, The Hunting Party (2014), returned to a heavier rock sound, and their seventh album, One More Light (2017), was a substantially more pop-oriented record. Linkin Park went on a hiatus when longtime lead vocalist Bennington died in July 2017. In April 2022, Shinoda revealed the band was neither working on new music nor planning on touring for the foreseeable future.

Linkin Park is among the best-selling bands of the 21st century and the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 100 million records worldwide.[5] They have won two Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, 10 MTV Europe Music Awards and three World Music Awards. In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth-greatest band of the music video era and the third-best of the new millennium. Billboard ranked Linkin Park No. 19 on the Best Artists of the Decade list. In 2012, the band was voted as the greatest artist of the 2000s in a Bracket Madness poll on VH1. In 2014, the band was declared as "The Biggest Rock Band in the World Right Now" by Kerrang!.

History

1996–2000: Early years

Linkin Park was founded by three high school friends: Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon, and Brad Delson.[6][7] The three attended Agoura High School in Agoura Hills, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.[6][7] After graduating from high school, the three began to take their musical interests more seriously, recruiting Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band, then called Xero. Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda's makeshift bedroom studio in 1996, resulting in a four-track demo album, entitled Xero, released in November 1997.[6][8] Delson introduced the band to Jeff Blue, the vice president of A&R for Zomba Music, whom he had interned for in college.[9][10] Blue offered the band constructive criticism to catch the attention of record labels. Blue himself was impressed with Xero after watching them play a live show in 1998, but believed the band needed a different vocalist.[9][10] Tensions and frustration within the band grew after they failed to land a record deal.[6] The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield, at that time the band's vocalist, to leave the band in search of other projects.[6][8] Farrell also left to tour with Tasty Snax, a Christian punk and ska band.[11][12]

After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield's replacement, Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington, who was recommended by Jeff Blue in March 1999.[13][14] Bennington, formerly of a post-grunge band Grey Daze, became a standout among applicants because of the dynamic in his singing style.[6] The band then agreed on changing 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.[6][15] In 1999, the band released a self-titled extended play, which they circulated across internet chat-rooms and forums with the help of an online "street team".[16]

The band still struggled to sign a record deal. They turned to Jeff Blue for additional help after facing numerous rejections from several major record labels.[13] After failing to catch Warner Bros. Records on three previous reviews, Blue, who was now the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, helped the band sign a deal with the company as a developing artist in 1999.[17][18] However, the label advised the band to change their name to avoid confusion with Hybrid.[19][20] The band considered the names "Plear" and "Platinum Lotus Foundation" before deciding on "Linkin Park",[21] a play on and homage to Santa Monica's Lincoln Park,[6] now called Christine Emerson Reed Park.[22] They initially wanted to use the name "Lincoln Park", however they changed it to "Linkin" to acquire the internet domain "linkinpark.com".[20][23]

Bennington and Shinoda both reported that Warner Bros. Records was skeptical of Linkin Park's initial recordings.[24][25] The label's A&R was not pleased with the band's hip-hop and rock-style approach.[24][25] An A&R representative suggested that Bennington should demote or fire Shinoda and exclusively focus on making a rock record.[24][25] Bennington supported Shinoda and refused to compromise Linkin Park's vision for the album.[24][25] Farrell returned in late 2000, and the band released their breakthrough album, Hybrid Theory, that same year.[13]

2000–2002: Hybrid Theory and Reanimation

Linkin Park released Hybrid Theory on October 24, 2000.[26] The album, which represented half a decade's worth of the band's work, was edited by Don Gilmore.[6] Hybrid Theory was a massive commercial success; it sold more than 4.8 million copies during its debut year, earning it the status of best-selling album of 2001, while singles such as "Crawling" and "One Step Closer" established themselves as staples among alternative rock radio play lists during the year.[11] Additionally, other singles from the album were featured in films such as Dracula 2000, Little Nicky, and Valentine.[11] Hybrid Theory won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song "Crawling" and was nominated for two other Grammy Awards: Best New Artist and Best Rock Album.[27] MTV awarded the band their Best Rock Video and Best Direction awards for "In the End".[6] Through the winning of the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance, Hybrid Theory's overall success had catapulted the band into mainstream success.

During this time, Linkin Park received many invitations to perform on many high-profile tours and concerts including Ozzfest, Family Values Tour, and KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas.[11][28] The band worked with Jessica Sklar to found their official fan club and street team, "Linkin Park Underground", in November 2001.[29][30] Linkin Park also formed their own tour, Projekt Revolution, which featured other notable artists such as Cypress Hill, Adema, and Snoop Dogg.[13] Within a year's stretch, Linkin Park had performed at over 320 concerts.[6] The experiences and performances of the precocious band were documented in their first DVD, Frat Party at the Pankake Festival, which debuted in November 2001. Now reunited with former bassist Phoenix, the band began work on a remix album, dubbed Reanimation, which would include works from Hybrid Theory and non-album tracks.[11] Reanimation debuted on July 30, 2002, featuring the likes of Black Thought, Jonathan Davis, Aaron Lewis, and many others.[31] Reanimation claimed the second spot on the Billboard 200, and sold nearly 270,000 copies during its debut week.[32] Hybrid Theory is also in the RIAA's Top 100 Albums.[33]

2002–2004: Meteora

Main article: Meteora

Following the success of Hybrid Theory and Reanimation, Linkin Park spent a significant amount of time touring around the United States. The band members began to work on new material amidst their saturated schedule, spending a sliver of their free time in their tour bus's studio.[34] The band officially announced the production of a new studio album in December 2002, revealing their new work was inspired by the rocky region of Meteora in Greece, where numerous monasteries have been built on top of the rocks.[35] Meteora features a mixture of the band's nu metal and rap metal style with newer innovative effects, including the induction of a shakuhachi (a Japanese flute made of bamboo) and other instruments.[6] Linkin Park's second album debuted on March 25, 2003, and instantly earned worldwide recognition,[6] going to No. 1 in the US and UK, and No. 2 in Australia.[8]

Meteora sold more than 800,000 copies during its first week, and it ranked as the best selling album on the Billboard charts at the time.[36] The album's singles, including "Somewhere I Belong", "Breaking the Habit", "Faint", and "Numb", received significant radio attention.[37] By October 2003, Meteora sold nearly three million copies.[38] The album's success allowed Linkin Park to form another Projekt Revolution, which featured other bands and artists including Mudvayne, Blindside, and Xzibit.[6] Additionally, Metallica invited Linkin Park to play at the Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003, which included well-known acts such as Limp Bizkit, Mudvayne and Deftones.[39] The band released an album and DVD, titled Live in Texas, which featured some audio and video tracks from the band's performances in Texas during the tour.[6] In early 2004, Linkin Park started a world tour titled the Meteora World Tour. Supporting bands on the tour included Hoobastank, P.O.D., Story of the Year and Pia.[40]

Meteora earned the band multiple awards and honors. The band won the MTV awards for Best Rock Video for "Somewhere I Belong" and the Viewer's Choice Award for "Breaking the Habit".[41] Linkin Park also received significant recognition during the 2004 Radio Music Awards, winning the Artist of the Year and Song of the Year ("Numb") awards.[41] Although Meteora was not nearly as successful as Hybrid Theory, it was the third best selling album in the United States during 2003.[11] The band spent the first few months of 2004 touring around the world, first with the third Projekt Revolution tour, and later several European concerts.[11] At the same time, the band's relationship with Warner Bros. Records was deteriorating rapidly on account of several trust and financial issues.[42] After months of feuding, the band finally negotiated a deal in December 2005.[43]

2004–2006: Side projects

Following Meteora's success, the band worked on many side projects.[44] Bennington appeared on DJ Lethal's "State of the Art" and other work with Dead by Sunrise, while Shinoda did work with Depeche Mode.[11] In 2004, the band began to work with Jay-Z to produce another remix album, titled Collision Course. The album, which featured intermixed lyrics and background tracks from both artists' previous albums, debuted in November 2004. Shinoda also formed Fort Minor as a side project. With the aid of Jay-Z, Fort Minor released their debut album, The Rising Tied, to critical acclaim.[45][46]

Linkin Park also participated in numerous charitable events, most notably raised money to benefit victims of Hurricane Charley in 2004 and later Hurricane Katrina in 2005.[11] The band donated $75,000 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation in March 2004.[47] They also helped relief efforts for the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami victims by staging several charity concerts and setting up an additional fund called Music for Relief.[48] Most notably, however, the band participated at Live 8, a series of charitable benefit concerts set up to raise global awareness.[49] Alongside Jay-Z, the band performed on Live 8's stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to a global audience.[49] The band would later be reunited with Jay-Z at the Grammy Award Ceremony 2006, during which they performed "Numb/Encore", en route to winning a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.[50] They were joined on stage by Paul McCartney who added verses from the song "Yesterday". They would later go on to play at the 2006 Summer Sonic music festival, which was hosted by Metallica in Japan.[51]

Linkin Park returned to the recording studios in 2006 to work on new material. To produce the album, the band chose producer Rick Rubin. Despite initially stating the album would debut sometime in 2006, the album was delayed until 2007.[52] The band had recorded thirty to fifty songs in August 2006, when Shinoda stated the album was halfway completed.[53] Bennington later added that the new album would stray away from their previous nu metal sound.[54] Warner Bros. Records officially announced that the band's third studio album, titled Minutes to Midnight, would be released on May 15, 2007, in the United States.[55] After spending fourteen months working on the album, the band members opted to further refine their album by removing five of the original seventeen tracks. The album's title, a reference to the Doomsday Clock, foreshadowed the band's new lyrical themes.[56] Minutes to Midnight sold over 625,000 copies in its first week, making it one of the most successful debut week albums in recent years. The album also took the top spot on the Billboard Charts.[57]

He later revealed in another interview in September 2011 that the band was still in the beginning phases of the next album, saying "We just kind of began. We like to keep the creative juices flowing, so we try to keep that going all the time ... we like the direction that we're going in".[99] Later, on March 28, 2012, Shinoda confirmed that the band is filming a music video for "Burn It Down".[100][101] Joe Hahn directed the video.[102] Shinoda spoke to Co.Create about the album's art, saying that it will "blow them [the fans] away ... the average person is not going to be able to look at it and go, I understand that that's completely new, like not just the image but the way they made the image is totally new. So there's going to be that".[103]

On April 15, 2012, Shinoda announced that Living Things would be the title of Linkin Park's fifth album.[104] Shinoda stated that they chose the title Living Things because the album is more about people, personal interactions, and it is far more personal than their previous albums.[105] The band promoted the album on the 2012 edition of the Honda Civic Tour, with co-headliners Incubus.

Linkin Park has remained on hiatus since Bennington's death.[166] During an Instagram live chat on December 17, 2017, Shinoda was asked whether Linkin Park would perform with a hologram version of Bennington in the future. He replied, "Can we not do a holographic Chester? I can't even wrap my head around the idea of a holographic Chester. I've actually heard other people outside the band suggest that, and there's absolutely no way. I cannot fuck with that."[167]

On January 28, 2018, Shinoda replied to a tweet from a fan inquiring about his future with Linkin Park, writing "I have every intention on continuing with LP, and the guys feel the same. We have a lot of rebuilding to do, and questions to answer, so it'll take time."[168] On March 29, however, Shinoda stated that he was uncertain of Linkin Park's future when being interviewed by Vulture.[169] On April 17, Linkin Park was nominated for three awards at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, but did not win any of them.[170] The band was presented with The George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA on May 18.[171] On February 18, 2019, Shinoda said in an interview that the band is open to the idea of continuing though what form that takes has yet to be decided. Shinoda stated "I know the other guys, they love to be onstage, they love to be in a studio, and so to not do that would be like, I don't know, almost like unhealthy." When asked about the band's future minus Bennington, Shinoda stated, "It's not my goal to look for a new singer. If it does happen, it has to happen naturally. If we find someone that is a great person and good stylistic fit, I could see trying to do some stuff with somebody. I would never want to feel like we are replacing Chester."[172]

On April 28, 2020, bassist Dave Farrell revealed the band is working on new music.[173] On August 13, the band released "She Couldn't", a track that was originally recorded in 1999, and it was included on a 20th anniversary edition of their debut album Hybrid Theory, released on October 9.[174] On January 8, 2021, Linkin Park released a remix of "One Step Closer" by American electronic duo 100 Gecs. The band revealed it was the first of many new remixes inspired by Reanimation to come.[175] On October 29, when asked about the band playing live shows again, Shinoda stated that "Now is not the time [for the band's return]. We don't have the focus on it. We don't have the math worked out. And I don't mean that by financially math, I mean that like emotional and creative math."[176] In April 2022, Shinoda reiterated that the band was not working on a new album, new music, or touring.[177][178]

In February 2023, the band started an interactive game on their website teasing the 20th anniversary of Meteora.[179] On February 6, they revealed a previously unreleased demo "Lost" that was formally released on February 10, as the lead single from the upcoming reissue of the album, releasing on April 7.[180][181]

Philanthropy

On January 19, 2010, Linkin Park released a new song titled "Not Alone" as part of a compilation from Music for Relief called Download to Donate for Haiti in support of the Haiti Earthquake crisis.[182][183][184] On February 10, 2010, Linkin Park released the official music video for the song on their homepage.[183][184] The single itself was released on October 21, 2011.

On January 11, 2011, an updated version of Download to Donate for Haiti was launched, called Download to Donate for Haiti V2.0, with more songs to download.[185] For the updated compilation, the band released Keaton Hashimoto's remix of "The Catalyst" from the "Linkin Park featuring YOU" contest.[185]

Shinoda designed two T-shirts, in which the proceeds would go to Music for Relief to help the victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami disasters.[186][187] Music for Relief released Download to Donate: Tsunami Relief Japan, another compilation of songs, in which the proceeds would go to Save the Children.[188] The band released the song titled as "Issho Ni", meaning "we're in this together", on March 22, 2011, via Download to Donate: Tsunami Relief Japan.[189]

In the wake of Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, Linkin Park played at Club Nokia during the "Music for Relief: Concert for the Philippines" in Los Angeles, and raised donations for victims.[190][191] The show was broadcast on AXS TV on February 15.[190][191] Other artists during the show included the Offspring, Bad Religion, Heart, and the Filharmonic.[190][191]

Musical style and influences

Linkin Park combines elements of rock music, hip hop and electronica, and have been categorized as alternative rock,[11][192][193][194] nu metal,[11][192][194][195][196] rap rock,[11][194][197][198] alternative metal,[194][197][199][200] electronic rock,[199][201] pop rock,[202][203] hard rock,[201][204] hip hop,[192][204] rap metal,[11][205] pop,[192][194] and industrial rock.[206] Despite being considered nu metal, the band never considered themselves as such.[207]

Both Hybrid Theory and Meteora combine the alternative metal,[197][208][209] nu metal,[210][211][212] rap rock,[211][213] rap metal,[214] and alternative rock[215][216] sound with influences and elements from hip hop, and electronica,[217][218] utilizing programming and synthesizers. William Ruhlmann from AllMusic regarded it as "a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style,"[219] whereas Rolling Stone described their song "Breaking the Habit" as "risky, beautiful art".[220]

In Minutes to Midnight the band experimented with their established sound and drew 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.[221] Only two songs on the album's tracklist feature rap vocals and the majority of the album can be considered alternative rock.[222][223]

The vocal interplay between Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda plays as a major part within Linkin Park's music, with Bennington being the lead vocalist and Shinoda as the rapping vocalist. On Linkin Park's third album, Minutes to Midnight, Shinoda sings lead vocals on "In Between", "Hands Held High", and on the B-side "No Roads Left". On numerous songs from band's fourth album, A Thousand Suns, such as the album's singles ("The Catalyst", "Burning in the Skies", "Iridescent"), both Shinoda and Bennington sing. The album has been regarded as a turning point in the band's musical career, having a stronger emphasis on electronica.[224][225] James Montgomery, of MTV, compared the record to Radiohead's Kid A,[226] while Jordy Kasko of Review, Rinse, Repeat likened the album to both Kid A and Pink Floyd's landmark album The Dark Side of the Moon.[227] Shinoda stated that he and the other band members were deeply influenced by Chuck D and Public Enemy. He elaborated: "Public Enemy were very three-dimensional with their records because although they seemed political, there was a whole lot of other stuff going on in there too. It made me think how three-dimensional I wanted our record to be without imitating them of course, and show where we were at creatively".[228] One of the record's political elements is its samples of notable speeches by American political figures.[229] A Thousand Suns was described as trip hop,[230] electronic rock,[201][231] ambient,[230] alternative rock,[232] industrial rock,[206] experimental rock,[233] rap rock,[234] and progressive rock.[235]

Their fifth album, Living Things, is also an electronic-heavy album, but includes other influences, resulting in a harder sound by comparison.[236][237] The band returned to a heavier sound compared to their last three albums on The Hunting Party, which was described as an alternative metal,[238][239][240] nu metal,[241] hard rock,[238][242] rap rock,[243] and rap metal album.[244] Their seventh album, One More Light, was described as pop,[245][246] pop rock[247][248] and electropop.[249]

Linkin Park's influences include Limp Bizkit, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Jane's Addiction, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Machines of Loving Grace, Metallica, Refused, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Descendents, Misfits, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, N.W.A, Public Enemy, KRS-One, Boogie Down Productions, Led Zeppelin, Rage Against the Machine, and the Beatles.[250][251][252][253]

three high school friends Mike Shinoda Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson 6 7 The three attended Agoura High School in Agoura Hills California a suburb of Los Angeles 6 7 After graduating from high school the three began to take their musical interests more seriously recruiting Joe Hahn Dave Phoenix Farrell and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band then called Xero Though limited in resources the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda s makeshift bedroom studio in 1996 resulting in a four track demo album entitled Xero released in November 1997 6 8 Delson introduced the band to Jeff Blue the vice president of A amp R for Zomba Music whom he had interned for in college 9 10 Blue offered the band constructive criticism to catch the attention of record labels Blue himself was impressed with Xero after watching them play a live show in 1998 but believed the band needed a different vocalist 9 10 Tensions and frustration within the band grew after they failed to land a record deal 6 The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield at that time the band s vocalist to leave the band in search of other projects 6 8 Farrell also left to tour with Tasty Snax a Christian punk and ska band 11 12 After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield s replacement Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington who was recommended by Jeff Blue in March 1999 13 14 Bennington formerly of a post grunge band Grey Daze became a standout among applicants because of the dynamic in his singing style 6 The band then agreed on changing 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 6 15 In 1999 the band released a self titled extended play which they circulated across internet chat rooms and forums with the help of an online street team 16 The band still struggled to sign a record deal They turned to Jeff Blue for additional help after facing numerous rejections from several major record labels 13 After failing to catch Warner Bros Records on three previous reviews Blue who was now the vice president of Warner Bros Records helped the band sign a deal with the company as a developing artist in 1999 17 18 However the label advised the band to change their name to avoid confusion with Hybrid 19 20 The band considered the names Plear and Platinum Lotus Foundation before deciding on Linkin Park 21 a play on and homage to Santa Monica s Lincoln Park 6 now called Christine Emerson Reed Park 22 They initially wanted to use the name Lincoln Park however they changed it to Linkin to acquire the internet domain linkinpark com 20 23 Bennington and Shinoda both reported that Warner Bros Records was skeptical of Linkin Park s initial recordings 24 25 The label s A amp R was not pleased with the band s hip hop and rock style approach 24 25 An A amp R representative suggested that Bennington should demote or fire Shinoda and exclusively focus on making a rock record 24 25 Bennington supported Shinoda and refused to compromise Linkin Park s vision for the album 24 25 Farrell returned in late 2000 and the band released
