Did You Know Facts :D Linkin Park is an inspirational favorite of famed Twilight writer Stephenie Meyer. She thanks the band in the second book of the series, New Moon, as one of the bands that have been instrumental in staving off the writers block. Were not like other bands you know. We actually visit our website and care about our internet fans. We visit as many fan sites as possible. - Mike Shinoda H! Vltg3 off of Reanimation samples a song called All For One by the group Brand Nubian. It also samples Family by Lamont Dozier (the main piano part comes from that song), which isnt credited in the liner notes, but the sample was still cleared by management. On the Meteora World Tour in 2004, Brad and Phoenix routinely swapped instruments to perform Nobodys Listening. The song The Instrumental that Mike Shinoda produced for Lupe Fiasco for his Food and Liquor album in 2006 has a music video that is unreleased to this day. One Step Closer closed every Linkin Park show from 2000 to early 2005. In 2006 in Japan, it was moved to end the main set before the encore, and in 2007, it started opening many shows. Session, Somewhere I Belong, and From The Inside were some of the earliest Meteora demos, dating back to mid-2001. The latter and Nobodys Listening were the final three songs to be finished for the album. Linkin Park created a batch of songs for their second studio album in 2002 and then trashed them all, deciding it was their sophomore fluke album. They then started sessions again and made what was eventually turned into Meteora. In 2003, the Linkin Park Street Team received promo stickers for Meteora without Hit The Floor listed as a track. It is possible that the song originally wasnt going to be on the album! Many artists have joined the band on stage for One Step Closer over the years. A few guests include Dilated Peoples, Marky Chavez (Adema), Wes Scantlin (Puddle Of Mudd), Sonny Sandovel (P.O.D.), Aaron Lewis (Staind), Jonathan Davis (Korn), Johan from Pia, Doug Robb (Hoobastank) and Dan Marsala (Story Of The Year). One Step Closer and In The End are a few of Chesters least favorite Linkin Park songs. When they initially made them, he thought neither was good enough to include on Hybrid Theory. He is more adamant about not enjoying Hit The Floor, Runaway, and Nobodys Listening, though. The song New Divide (2009) was recorded solely for the purpose of being included in the film Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen. The song was written in only several weeks. Even though the band hails from the Los Angeles, CA area and records there, theyve actually recorded one full song in another city. My December was recorded in Nashville, TN in 2000 for inclusion on a KROQ Christmas album. Parts of other songs have been recorded in other locations (We Made It in Taiwan, etc). The song High Voltage from the Hybrid Theory EP (1999) was rerecorded and remade completely for inclusion on Hybrid Theory but later dropped. Rob recorded drums on a track with Dan The Automator in 2004. This track has never been released and no more information has ever surfaced. Linkin Park once performed a short cover of Black Sabbaths Iron Man on the last show of Projekt Revolution 2003 in Rapid City, South Dakota. It was the only time the cover was ever performed. The band often covered part of Guns N Roses Sweet Child O Mine randomly throughout 2001. The cover made a reappearance at the last show of Projekt Revolution 2004 and at one show on Projekt Revolution 2008 (being mashed with Bleed It Out). Chester recorded backing vocals for the chorus of Karma Killer by Cyclefly, off of their 2002 album Crave. It was his first guest appearance on an album with another artist. Chester recorded a version of Nine Inch Nails Head Like a Hole with Korn, for inclusion on their Korn Kovers CD. The project has been delayed indefinitely and likely will never be released. Chester recorded a track with DJ Lethal (of Limp Bizkit) entitled State of the Art, originally scheduled for Lethals scrapped solo project. Part of the track debuted on 99Xs Scratch-and-Sniff program in 2004 and was released in full by LPLive in 2009 after DJ Lethal sent the recording. Chester reportedly is not a fan of the song. Chester recorded vocals for a track with The Visionaries, but the track has never been released. Chester occasionally performed Dead and Bloated live with the Stone Temple Pilots on the Family Values Tour in 2001. Chester performed a live rendition of Panteras Walk with Disturbed on the Ozzfest tour in 2001. Chester performed Fiction live with Orgy at The Vault in Los Angeles, CA in October 2004. Ryu from Styles of Beyond recorded a verse for a version of WTH
