[I don't know if you guys know or not but you guys did a really good thing by pursuing these tickets because 5 dolars of every ticket is gonna to The Red Cross for relieve for all the people who's suffering for the hurricane so make some noise for yourself, for helping out and being a part of the solution with that —ok, man— thank you guys very much. Right now we are gonna play a song, this is actually some, this is not one of our songs. We do some special everyone's who [?] to play a song by another band but... this song is called Wish and the band is cold Nine Inch Nails]

This is the first day of my last days
I built it up, now I take it apart, climbed up real high, now fall down real far
No need for me to stay, the last thing left, I just threw it away
I put my faith in God and my trust in you, now there's nothing more fucked up I could do

Wish there was something real, wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I'm the one without a soul, I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell, twenty-six years, on my way to Hell
Gotta listen to your big time, hard line, bad luck, fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun, you know me, I hate everyone

Wish there was something real, wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I want to but I can't turn back
But I want to

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
