Hello people Im new here, and must say I love Linkin Park... Anyway I was discussing Linkin PArk on another forum un-music related and one of the members made the below comment... Does anyone know if this is true ?? -------------------------------------- Thing they dont mention though is that the record label picked them up ages ago....then forced members to leave...then brought in others. I believe Chester B was dragged half way across the country to join the band....had never heard of them before, and didnt know a single member! He was also NOT a metal vocalist...he'd been doing other stuff. They then proiceeded to 'metal' him up. Which is why for a good bit of their 'release' he only had a stud in his lip.....and the flame tattoos on his forearms were only outlines. He had a make up artist colour them in before photoshoots and gigs Simply because he couldnt get the rest of the tattoing done on tour (tattooists dont like touching anything thats not been done by them etc) And I like to believe because he was a cat and couldnt stand the name. Anyway.....Band...brought together by record label...complete strangers (mostly) before their release. Music written for them (on the first album) STINKS of boy band...just in a different format! Oh...and for the first year, when they toured....ALL the instruments were pre-recorded, only the singing was live...simply because they hadnt had enough time to practice the new material instrument wise. I was unfortunate to see them support the deftones, and it was comical to say the least....was like watching people play air guitar...but with guitars strapped to them!! ------------------------------------------ Regards LEE
