Do you know that the Los Angeles-based rock group Linkin Park is great and they went hiatus after the lead vocalist Chester Bennington’s death in 2017 and I started listening to them when I was a teenager. When I first heard “One Step Closer” back in 2000 when I was seventeen years old and was almost eighteen and I was a senior at Henderson County High School during the 2000-2001.
In The End was the first song I learned all the lyrics to (that and Blurry by Puddle of Mud). My mom printed out the lyrics and I remember jumping on the bed and reciting them back. When I asked my mom what genre this was she said "uhh newest and coolest metal" and that blew my 6 year old mind. Maybe she saw that it was called Nu Metal and was confused by that term.
A Place For My Head was the first heavy song I got into. One of my friends had the CD and I'd listen to that song with headphones on. The challenge was to see if I could make it through the screaming part. Eventually I came to love that part of the song.
I also became a huge hip hop head because of their collab album with Jay Z. I heard the Linkin Park versions of those songs before the originals. Listening to Jay Z is what made me realize "woah hip hop can actually be pretty smart".
My second concert ever (first concert I asked my mom if I could go to) was Linkin Park and Chris Cornell on the Projekt Revolution tour. Linkin Park was by far my favorite band from when I was about 8 years old to my sophomore year of high school. Yes I cried when Chester died

Had Hybrid Theory on CD in like the 4th grade. Remember having Meteora too. Linkin Park alongside of Blink 182 and a few others were one of the first bands I claimed as my own and loved that wasn't my dad's music or whatever.
Yesterday I received news that a friend of mine passed away. I was a very sheltered kid and he's the person who introduced me to Linkin Park in my tweens, essentially changing my life by getting me into rock music. I'm grateful for the band and for my friend and will miss him a lot.

In the early '00s, I was getting a drink at a bar while on spring break in New Orleans. Two guys sidled up to the bar beside me, and I overheard one say to the other, "Don't you get tired of signing autographs?"
He replied, "No, I usually don't mind it."
I chimed in (probably drunkenly), "Who are you?"
"I play in a band," he replied pretty humbly.
"What band?"
"We're called Linkin Park," as though I probably hadn't heard of them.
"Oh," I said, disappointed. "My roommate likes you."
"You don't?"
"Meh. Not my cup of tea. Sorry."
"Well, what do you like?" he asked, genuinely interested. We proceeded to chat for 5-10 minutes on the finer points of Ben Folds, Wilco, Phish, and whatever else I was listening to at the time.
I never did get into Linkin Park, but I always rooted for them to do well because he really did seem to be a genuinely kind and humble guy. I was saddened by the news when he died.
