    lol, Yeah, it was a band called "Hybrid". When Linkin Park released the Hybrid Theory E.P., the band, they somehow found out about "Hybrid" or "Hybrid" found out about them, and so that they did not have any confusion or legal problems, the band changed their name.

    Something like that :chemist:.

    No, but they asked Mike and the guys to change it so they wouldn't have to, and rather than argue and go to court, they just changed it. At first it was going to be Lincoln Park, but they changed the spelling of Lincoln to Linkin to get the domain name.
