Biography of the group Linkin Park

For almost 20 creative years, the composition of the group has not been surprisingly stable for almost 20 creative years. We now offer to get to know them better. So, Chester Bennington, born on March 20 and who died on July 20. He spent his childhood in Arizona, studied music on his own, the first instrument he chose not a voice, but a piano. He was fond of the music of Foreigner, Rush and Loverboy, there he found the first inspiration for the Grey Daze team, created in the meter in the dull days of days, the end came: Linkin Park appeared on the horizon, and Chester's life turned upside down.

It is only a pity that the days did not become brighter, which, among other things, contributed to its early care. And no, it does not seem to you, his surname is really not quite American: a musician is a hereditary Japanese. He was born on February 11 in Panorama City, a suburbs of Los Angeles. In childhood, he painted more than played, but already at twelve wrote the first song.

In general, both Shvets and Reaper. Bradford Fillip Dresson was born on December 1. Brad has a higher education: Bakalavra degree in the theory of communication. He even thought to go to a lawyer school, but decided that it was still more honest as a musician. Dave Ferrell was born in Plymouth on February 8. At first, Dave learned to scream on an ordinary guitar, but in the first team he switched to bass.

In his youth, he lived in one hostel with Brad, the degree is also - philosophical. He was called Phoenix because of two tattoos on his back-they just depict the wings of this mythical bird. He was born on March 15, he studied at the art school, but he never received a diploma. Like Mike, Joe is a creative for all hands; And the clips for Linkin Park were filmed, and on the special effects for “secret materials”, yes, the same ones worked.

The youngest participant in LP was the drummer Rob Burdon, who was just two years later than the rest - on January 20. With love for music, he was imbued with nine years old, when a mother, closely familiar with Joya Kramer’s drummer, helped her son get out of the culisons to Aerosmith. That's just if it weren’t for Linkin Park, this meeting could have remained just a pleasant memory, and not the reference point, because before the musical career Rob was going to become an accountant in a completely seriousness.

Surprisingly, each of these musicians remained in Linkin Park until the last days.

Chester Bennington got into the acquaintance group, and he came up with a name for her. At first it sounded like Hybrid Theory, but a certain Welsh electronic trio called Hybrid jeared for this plagiarism and required change. They came immediately: the young group began to be called Lincoln Park by the name of the place through which Chester constantly went to the studio.

Again, bad luck: such a domain already existed, so the participants slightly changed it, having received the phrase Linkin Park. Needless to say, the record made a real splash, the track Crawling even brought the musicians the first Grammy for the “best hard rock-execution”. In the year, Linkin Park secured the success of Meteora album, which included one of their most recognizable Numb hits.

The triumph was largely associated with the sound that the team chose. Few musicians had previously decided to combine heavy music and rap. These experiments formed the basis of the new genre, called the Nu-Metal. Many groups reach the peak of popularity after decades of stubborn labors, but their debut remained the most successful album of Linkin Park. Minutes to Midnight of the year was already far from Nu-Metal, with which the group burst into the mainstream, and the first dissatisfied began to appear.

We are not even surprised: the main character of the film Bella and Chester is related-and no, we are not about the unhealthy obsession with vampires: they both grew up in Arizona. The group returned to the “Transformers” after: the New Divide of the year became the official soundtrack of the second part of the franchise, and the IRIDESCENT GO - the third. The further the sound of the group developed, the more fans who loved Hybrid Theory grumbled and complained about life.

Linkin Park became easier, but the musicians themselves were harder. The frontman was worst, a priori in the most noticeable figure in the composition. It was his depression that played in the fate of the group the tragic final chord. The development vector chosen by the group disappointed many fans: there was nothing left of the zero from the nu-laut, the album sounded easily, like some uncomplicated pop rock.

They would know that they were coming, then perhaps they would complain less. It was the birthday of Chris Cornell, his close friend and musician, who had gone a few months earlier. Shocked colleagues immediately abolished concerts in support of One More Light, and the future of the team hung in the balance. With the future Linkin Park, everything is quite vague.

In April, GO Farrell reported that he had denied new music, but already in October, he denied everything, breaking the hopes of fans to fluff. Although the musicians are constantly asking whether to expect their return, none of them are ready for this.The group does not amuse anyone with the illusions that Linkin Park can exist without a frontman who left this world too early, which means that this chapter is already closed in their life.
