I remember it was about three years ago... I was in the car on the way home from a relatives house in the back seat and my parents had the radio on. This song came on and I thought it sounded really good! So I looked at the display and it said "Numb/Encore". So after that I was telling myself in my head, "Numb/Encore, must remember!" Shortly after, when at home, I went onto iTunes and all I remembered was "Numb". So I looked it up and bought the song. After listening to it, I realized that it wasn't the song that I had heard on the radio, yet it was still awesome! So about 1-2 years pass and I'm still loving this song! I'm quite sure it was the most played in my iTunes library. So I think to myself, "I love this band, I need to check them out more!". And at that point I just kept digging in and in, listening to all of their songs, and couldn't get enough of LP! To this day they're my favorite band, I never get tired of their music and I'm still discovering some of their songs. I don't own any LP CDs (I actually don't have any CDs ), but I'm planning on buying the ATS CD the day it comes out and I will probably end up getting the other three sometime as well. How did you get into LP?
Believe it or not, I got into LP in 2001, when I was 13, but not with Hybrid Theory (album)... But with the HT EP (kinda). I was searching for something else on Napster (or maybe it was Kazaa by then... I can't remember) and I downloaded Part of Me... It was labeled as something else. I loved the song but had no idea who it was actually done by, until I borrowed a friend's cd collection months later when I got my first CD burner, and he had Hybrid Theory (not the EP). I was like and I knew it had to be the same band... Turns out I was right! Now that I'm thinkin about old LP... I kinda wish Brad still wore the headphones! lol
My sister got me into Linkin Park, sorta. It was 2003 and my sister had some LP songs on the computer, and it had My December on it, and i listened to it, and then i was hooked . only, this is the first year im trying to become a collector, 7 years after i heard about Linkin Park
I liked In The End a LONG time back (like 2001, I was 11 at the time xD), but my real fandom didn't start until I saw the 2004 Rock Am Ring performance of Breaking the Habit in like 2005, I just thought it was a superb performance and bought Meteora not long after that.
I got into Linkin Park when I was like 5 or 6. My older brother had "Hybrid Theory" and he always had it playing in his car. One day, I heard "In The End" and I was like this is awesome! So, I listened to the whole album and fell in love with it. Now, i'm a really huge Linkin Park fan.
Somewhat off topic, but have you newer LP fans ever watched their old music videos? A lot of 'em are really corny now lol
Fell in love with Runaway way back when lol. First CD I got was Meteora when it came out. From there I got HT and Reanimation. Went to the one night only Live In Texas on the big screen event. And some them live legitimately. To this day i still adore Meteora.
In 07 my friend plays some song called In The End. I had about 20 songs in my ipod at the time. I fell instantly fell in love with it. Coincidentally, I think I heard In the End a week before M2M came out. I heard What I've Done and actually hated it. So for the longest time I just had In the End. But eventually all of my friends had What I've Done and it grew on me. So over the next 2 years I gradually got more and more into the band. From the studio albums to Reanimation to Live stuff and eventually to the Underground. LP is the only band that just releases songs that I swear were wrote for me specifically. And then great sites like LPA help me find out more things about this amazing band. LP for ever!
X-Games Demo for PSX had A Place for My Head. A friend let me borrow Hybrid Theory and then it was game on from there.
I found a Vegeta Tribute someone did to the tune of "In The End" and I was instantly hooked, I'd play the video constantly. Once I could be arsed to the look up the band I bought their albums (Hybrid Theory and Reanimation), Meteora came out some time after that. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=15545677 << That's the video.
i first got to hear a NUMB rigtone ... YEAHHH that's for old cellfones.... I Liked so much the rythm .... so ... from then .... ........ i listen to LINKIN PARK !
i was about... 2001 and i was 7 and i flicked onto rage, the australian music tv show back when it was all still music and not pop -.-* and i heard in the end, and i was obsessed, i did everything i could to find otu what this song was because i loved it straight away, the power of the bridge and mike's rapping, it was amazing, and i soon found LP and got into Hybrid Theory, and since then, i have been a die hard, i love hearing the demo's and i wish so badly that i was old enough and had stumbled upon the underground back when they were releasing Hybrid Theory Demo's! though the chances of finding out about them at that early stage here in Australia are so slim, but i would have killed for one of those EP's!
I first got into Linkin Park in 2001. I started dating this wonderful girl named Laura, still a great young lady. Her dad was a marine. We all went to a local concert run a by Tampa station called 98 Rock. It was Livestock 2001 or Livestock 11 depending on what you wanna call it. The two main acts that stuck with me were Linkin Park and Staind. I was already a Staind fan, but I had NEVER heard any Linkin Park music. Laura had the Hybrid Theory album, so she got me right up to the front of the stage and the show they put on was EPIC. Afterwards, I got to meet the entire band. Shook Mike and Chester's hands and they autographed my new copy of Hybrid Theory. Fast forward a few years... I'm a pretty dedicated LP fan, I join the LPU and I'm with a new girlfriend now. I happen to purchase tickets to a Projekt Revolution concert in Tampa, I believe the year they were touring with Snoop Dogg. What really stuck with me was that I took my already autographed copy of Hybrid Theory with me and a new disc. I got to meet the band again. When we got down to the end Mike and Chester were sitting next to each other again and Chester looks at Mike and says "I recognize this guy..." and Mike says "Yeah, we met him at that concert at Livestock." That solidified it for me. I've been a fan ever since. I've met them a few more times. I've even got a Fort Minor art piece tattooed on my arm because while I was in the Army that album helped me through some really hard times. But yeah, that's my LP story.
I heard ITE and SIB when my brother played it in his room. That was in 2003...then I watched Live in Texas with him....that's the whole story
some guy recommended one step closer to me on napster on the 25th of november 2000. almost ten year anniversary .
I remember seeing the video for OSC, but never really liked them until "Crawling" came out. I saw that video one day, before going to school, and had it in my head for a long time. I never heard anything like that song, I thought it was beautiful. My brother bought HT, and from thereon I was an LP fan. He's the reason why I love LP now, and I thank him a lot.
