Line 33:
== Discography: ==
* ''[[Self
* ''Hybrid Theory'' (2000)
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qlCC1GOwFw "One Step Closer"]
Line 87:
** '''[[Snark Bait|"CRRRAAAWWWWWWLLLIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG INNNNNNN MYYYYY SKIIIIIIIINNNNN"]]'''
** '''[[Madness Mantra|YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME, GO AWAY.]]'''
** And in the same light, [[Big No|"Faint"]] and [[Big "Shut Up!"|"One Step Closer"]].
** Oh God, "The Messenger". Chester ''really'' oversings on this little acoustic number. He almost sounds like [[U 2|Bono]].
** '''WHERE OCEANS BLEED INTO THE SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY'''
* [[Cluster F
** However, the band decided to be a little liberal with the word "motherfucker" on "When They Come for Me". With their last two albums, they've resigned themselves to getting parental advisory labels.
*** Liberality or just for the hell of doing it? It seems like the seven motherfuckers on "When They Come for Me" is for fun.
Line 137:
** "Lockjaw", a piece Mike and Rob were commissioned to make by Digidesign to promote ProTools 8.
** "Issho ni", a charity track for the 2011 earthquake that devastated Japan.
* [["I Want" Song]]: Pick a song from the first two albums.
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: "Shadow of the Day" sounds REALLY similar to [[U 2 (Music)|"With or Without You"]]. Likewise, the intro to "What I've Done" and the ''Halloween'' theme.
* [[Large Ham]]: Chester all the time, whether onstage or on tape. However, Mike isn't that far behind him.
Line 172:
** "A Place For My Head". STAY! A! WAY!
* [[Rags to Riches]]: Chester was so poor before he joined the band, he and his first wife (later divorced) tattooed wedding rings on their fingers, instead of buying 'em.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Chester and Mike's vocal roles. Chester provides the aggression, passion and sensitivity while Mike provides reflectiveness and observations.
* [[Refrain From Assuming]] / [[Non
* [[Sampling]]: Linkin Park has sampled High and Mighty, Brand Nubian, Lamont Dozier, [[UNKLE (Music)|UNKLE]] and the first ''Pokemon'' movie, mostly on ''Reanimation''. Conversely, they've been sampled by [[Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (Music)|Krayzie Bone]] and [[Three Six Mafia (Music)|Juicy J]].
* [[Self
* [[Shout Out]]:
** "Wretches and Kings" contains part of the immortal opening line from [[Public Enemy (Music)|"Bring the Noise"]], which comes full circle in the HavocNdeeD remix which features Chuck D himself.
Line 194:
** "Nobody's Listening" is basically a long f-you to all the people in the early days of the band who said they would amount to nothing.
* [[Textless Album Cover]]: ''A Thousand Suns''.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: "No Laundry".
* [[Tough Act to Follow]]: Directly referenced by Mike in the song "When They Come for Me", referring to the mega-success of ''Hybrid Theory'' and ''Meteora'' where the majority of the band's fans were introduced to them.
* [[Trolling Creator]]: The band's co-vocalist Mike Shinoda has had shades of this in the last few years. Teasing snippets of new songs only leading to unrelated [[YouTube]] videos or claiming that a band member had quit. Recently Mike sent a link out on Twitter touting new pictures from the upcoming fifth album. When clicked, the link sends fans to a picture of a Troll doll.
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Chester Bennington, at least while he was in school and had to deal with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_the_Molester "Chester the Molester"] [[Black Comedy Rape|jokes]]. See [[Creator Breakdown]] to understand [[Dude, Not Funny|why he didn't find this funny]].
** He got (a bit) better, considering he was wearing a shirt bearing the words "Chester the Molester" during LP's early years.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: '''"SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!"'''
