Linkin Park: Difference between revisions

* [[DVD Commentary]]: The band has a DVD edition for each of their CDs barring ''Hybrid Theory'' (which saw a standalone DVD a year after its release). Footage of them is usually about the music making process, life on tour, music video commentary, and the odd practical joke.

* [[Epic Fail]]/[[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: In "Figure 0.9" there this lyric

* [[Epic Rocking]]: "The Little Things Give You Away" clocks in at six and a half minutes while "Krwling", "1stp Klosr" and "The Catalyst" come close to that.

* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: The only album that doesn't use this is ''Hybrid Theory''. It was intended to, however; the version of High Voltage cut from the album (and on the One Step Closer single) was supposed to segue in from "Cure for the Itch" as can be heard by the remnants of Itch at the beginning of Voltage. It was probably cut because it had already appeared in a different version on the Hybrid Theory EP.

* [[Fake Band]]:

** White Pegacorn, a collaboration between Mike and [[The Pete Best|Mark Wakefield]] and a pastiche of [[Hair Metal]]. The only released song, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJvXD-TmHWw "Barack Your World"], starts as a tongue-in-cheek endorsement of the [[Barack Obama|44th President]] before turning into [[Intercourse with You|something else entirely.]]

** MMM... Cookies, a fake band by Mike and Chester to showcase their [[Stylistic Suck|less ..err.. inspired]] works. Cookies had an EP for the fan club titled ''[[Word Salad Title|Sweet Hamster Like Jewels from America]]'', and the music within it makes as much sense as the title.

* [[Fan Service]]: Frontman Chester Bennington seems to be shirtless about 40% of the time, performing or otherwise. As for the rest of the band, fans will have to scour the behind-the-scenes videos on the group's website for even a hint of fanservice from the other five members.

** "Wretches and Kings" contains part of the immortal opening line from [[Public Enemy|"Bring the Noise"]], which comes full circle in the HavocNdeeD remix which features Chuck D himself.

** A few in "When They Come for Me". From name-dropping [[The Fugees|Lauryn Hill]], [[The Notorious B.I.G.|Biggie]], [[Public Enemy|Chuck D]] and Big Daddy Kane to this:

* [[Spoken Word in Music]]:

** An interview of the late turntablist Roc Raida discussing [[Rap Rock]] is inserted into "High Voltage".

*** There's even a line in it where Mike outright says he's not "the same person telling you to forfeit the game," in reference to "Points of Authority."

** "Step Up" addresses other rap-rock bands in a less-than-flattering fashion.

** And since we're counting Fort Minor, "Get Me Gone" and "High Road" calls out [[Take That, Critics!|those skeptical of Linkin Park's success]]. This should probably tell us [[Beware the Nice Ones|something about Mike]].

** "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.
