The orchestra was founded in:
1996, lead singers Michael and Brad recorded their first song in Michael's bedroom mini-studio, and Union Park Orchestra planted the seeds of music in Southern California. Then they met the drummer Rob. After a while, Michael contacted DJ Joseph, who was studying painting at Pasadena Art Center College. Brad, who was studying at UCLA at that time, happened to be a roommate with bass player Phoenix. Phoenix left the group after graduating from college and rejoined the group a year later. The last piece in the jigsaw puzzle is the lead singer Chester from Arizona. At that time, the band was openly recruiting lead singers for the society. Chester's appearance scared away all the competitors. He roared like dynamite and established himself as the lead singer in the band.
Band name:
... the band originally wanted to be called "remix theory", which was the name of their first album. But later, I found that there was already a band called "Mixed Theory" and had to change its name. Just then, the orchestra passed by new york, and the prosperity of the metropolis deeply infected the six young people of the orchestra. They decided to take new york's famous "Linkin Park" as the name of the band.
Fame experience:
The band's struggle was bumpy. The metal style rap that they began to try in the 1990s was not appreciated by the mainstream music industry for a long time. In the process of signing movies, I don't know how many mainstream record companies have disdained them in the past three years. In order to win the contract, they held 42 auditions and failed 42 times. Even Warner, who signed them, refused many times. Now they have become "Warner's treasure", and the beautiful sales figures have seriously broken the glasses of those who look down on Union Park. While they were waiting for the record company to sign the contract, their single "One Step Further" was very popular on the Internet, and it flooded into thousands of discussions in Yahoo's fan discussion area in just one month, especially on BBS. It is also the power of the network that made Warner realize the valuable value of the orchestra in advance and resolutely signed a contract with it.
However, the popularity of the band on the Internet has also added an episode to the final finalization of the band, that is, they finally found that even with strong network foundation support, it is impossible for them to register the domain name "Linkin Park". But the band can't lack the support of the network. Therefore, the final name of the band became today's "Linkin Park" and "Linkin Park". COM "naturally became the official website of the orchestra.
Album status:
In the 20th century, the band released some singles and EP. Millennium 101On October 24th, the band released its first album "Hybridization Theory". From this day on, the music of "Linkin Park" and everything represented by this band were in full swing. The album * * * contains 12 songs of the orchestra, and each capital is a classic of rap metal. In 200 1 year, this album was the best seller in the United States, occupying the top five position in the album sales list for 75 consecutive weeks, and it is still refreshing the sales record today. At present, the global sales volume of this album is conservatively estimated at around16 million copies.
With good sales, Warner Records released two global celebration editions of "Mixing Theory" at the end of 20001,which included live recordings of band performances, and two new songs, My December and High Pressure, and plans to continue to release the album's mixed edition and Park Inspiration Cover Edition.
The band's songs are also widely used in many well-received and box office movies, such as Vampire 2000, Gouhun Valentine's Day, Little Nicky and so on.
Music style:
There is no relatively fixed genre, but a combination of rap, heavy metal, hip-hop and electronic dance music. It is worth mentioning that the lyrics of the orchestra strongly reflect the voices of young people in the contemporary e era, analyze their confusion, depression and anger, and pull out their lowest cry. But in today's era of "swearing", the lyrics of the orchestra are very clean, and there is no meaning of abuse or blasphemy. Even if they attack, they hit the nail on the head, not empty talk and swearing. This is not only rare in today's rock music scene, but also a textbook for contemporary young people's psychological exploration, which is widely recommended and carefully studied.
