    For our fourth image, we have a very neat picture of an early Hybrid Theory bench advertisement, done to promote the release of the band's debut album. As you can see; Brad, Chester, Mike, Rob and Joe had fun with the bench, signing their names on the billboard as they passed by. What we really want to know is, who is the lucky person who got to keep the billboard once the promotion was done? We imagine this item would be quite collectable if it came on the market today!

    Sadly, I'd be willing to bet the bench ended up getting painted over later on. There are advertising companies that reserve space on park benches just like they do with billboards, so whenever the promotional run for Hybrid Theory ended, they probably just slapped another advertisement on the same bench.

    What a crushing feeling to realize this.

    But it's true though, joke aside. The bench still looked really awesome.
