-C'est suite à toutes ces perturbations que naît Linkin Park. En effet, le groupe se retrouvant à quatre, Mike lance un casting dans l'optique de trouver un nouveau chanteur. [[Chester Bennington]], originaire d'Arizona, qui vient de quitter son groupe [[Grunge]], Grey Daze, saisit l'opportunité. Intéressé par la proposition de [[Mike Shinoda]], il lui envoie une cassette avec des enregistrements de sa voix, et devient la nouvelle tête de [[Xero]]. Son arrivée dans le groupe engendre par ailleurs une modification de son nom : de [[Xero]], on passera à Hybrid Theory. Mais, ce nom ayant déjà été utilisé par un groupe d'electro, Hybrid Theory devient Lincoln Park, puis Linkin Park. Comme l'a précisé Chester dans une interview {{référence nécessaire}}, ce nom ne veut strictement rien dire.+===Side projects and charity work (2004-2006)===

-Linkin Park est un groupe de [[néo metal]]. Bien que les membres ne revendiquent en rien ce style, leur mélange de sons mélodiques et de sons lourds leur offre le statut de « groupe phare du néo ». Musicalement, Linkin Park se base sur des guitares saturée , de la batterie , des éléments de [[musique électronique]], et d'autres de musique [[hip-hop]]. Le tout est régulièrement accompagné d'« effets spéciaux » conçus par [[Joe Hahn]], et parfois de quelques touches de piano, de violon, de flûte japonaise, voire de xylophone et même de banjo. Pour le chant, Linkin Park mélange de manière très structurée des parties rappées, chantées, et « criées ». Le style de Linkin Park se situe donc dans un intermédiaire entre le néo metal mélodique et le rap metal.+
-Toutefois, Linkin Park ne fait pas que du [[Néo metal]]. Le groupe s'étend en effet sur d'autres genres, tels que le [[hip-hop]] (influence de [[Mike Shinoda]]), l'[[Electro-Hip hop]] (influences de [[Mike Shinoda]], de [[Brad Delson]], et de [[Dave Farrell]]), le [[rock alternatif]] et le [[metal alternatif]] (influence de chaque membre du groupe), le [[punk]] (influences de [[Chester Bennington]] et de [[Dave Farrell]]), et même le [[pop rock]] (influence de chaque membre du groupe).+===Reemergence: ''Minutes to Midnight'' (2006-present) ===

-|}+Linkin Park's use of two separate vocalists has become a large part of their music. Chester Bennington is most known for using growling and screaming vocals common in various forms of metal, while also using more melodic singing, and has placed 46th in Hit Paraders list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists".<ref name="lplist">RoadRunnerRecords.com, [http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=63106 ROB HALFORD, ROBERT PLANT, BON SCOTT, OZZY Are Among 'Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists' - Dec. 1, 2006], Retrieved on December 5, 2007.</ref>
 +Mike Shinoda is the group's [[Master of Ceremonies|MC]], and does all of the rapping. Mike has also done all of the backing vocals live, and in their latest album, ''Minutes to Midnight'', he sings lead vocals on three songs: "In Between", "Hands Held High", and the b-side "No Roads Left".

-=== Pochettes des albums ===+
- +
-Les pochettes des albums de Linkin Park sont, pour la plupart, très travaillées artistiquement. Elles consistent en un mélange de tags [[hip-hop]] et de dessins un peu plus agressifs, propre au style du [[néo metal]]. Celle de ''[[Hybrid Theory]]'' confirme parfaitement ces affirmations.+
- +
-Le groupe sait aussi faire dans la sobriété et la simplicité, comme le démontre la pochette de ''[[Meteora]]''. Lorsque Linkin Park se nommait encore [[Xero]], puis ''Hybrid Theory'', l'ambiance qui se dégageait de ses cassettes et de ses albums était bien plus [[Electro]]. Une sorte de [[foetus]] figurait sur toutes leurs oeuvres, et il possédait souvent 2 faces : l'une angélique et calme, l'autre démoniaque et cruelle La première a été dessinée par Mike Shinoda, rapper du combo, et la seconde par "Mr." Joe Hahn, le DJ.+
- +
-La pochette de ''[[Minutes To Midnight]]'', s'avère être à tendance bien plus [[rock]] et moins [[néo metal]] qu'auparavant, ce qui par comparaison aux autres albums fait ressortir l'ensemble des influences qu'apporte chacun de membres à l'ensemble du groupe : Electro, hip hop, nu metal, puis rock.+
- +
-De plus,sur la majeure partie des oeuvres comme les pochettes d'albums ou autres,on peut aperçevoir une sorte de soldat avec des ailes qui se nomme l'Hybrid Soldier(il tire son nom de l'album Hybrid Theory).Il existe aussi une autre version de l'Hybrid Soldier qui peut nous laisser croire qu'il s'appelle le Reanimation Soldier(son nom viendrait,comme celui de l'Hybrid Soldier,de l'album Reanimation,qui est le remix officiel de Hybrid Theory l'album.Cette autre version de l'Hybrid Soldier aurait des sous-versions,la 2D et la 3D.+

Band history

[modifier]

Early years (1996-1999)

Originally consisting of three close high school friends from Agoura High School, Linkin Park’s foundation was anchored by Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon.<ref name=Ask-Bio>AskMen.com, Linkin Park – Biography Retrieved on March 20, 2007</ref><ref name="Linkinbio" >Modèle:Citeweb</ref>After graduating from high school, the California natives began to take their musical interests more seriously, recruiting Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band then titled Xero. Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda’s make-shift bedroom studio in 1996.<ref name=Ask-Bio/><ref name="Bio2">Modèle:Citeweb</ref> Tensions and frustration within the band began to increase after they failed to land a record deal.<ref name=Ask-Bio /> The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield, at that time the band's vocalist, to leave the band in search for other projects.<ref name=Ask-Bio/><ref name="Bio2" /> Farrell would also leave the band to tour with Tasty Snax and other bands.<ref name=RockD>Rockdetector.com, Linkin Park – Rockdetector Biography Retrieved on March 20, 2007</ref><ref>Livedaily.com, LiveDaily Interview: Linkin Park’s Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell Retrieved on March 20, 2007</ref>

After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield's replacement, Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue, the vice president of Zomba Music, referred Bennington to the band in March 1999.<ref name=LPT>Lptimes.com, Band History Retrieved on March 20, 2007</ref> Bennington, formerly of Grey Daze, became a standout among applicants for his unique and vivid singing style.<ref name="Linkinbio" /> The band changed their name from Xero to Hybrid Theory.<ref name=RockD/> The newborn vocal chemistry between Shinoda and Bennington helped revive the band, inciting them to work on new material.<ref name=Ask-Bio/> The band’s renaissance culminated with a change in name; from Hybrid Theory, the band changed their name to Linkin Park, a play on and homage to Santa Monica’s Lincoln Park.<ref name="Ask-Bio">AskMen.com, Linkin Park — Biography Retrieved on March 20, 2007</ref> However, despite these changes, the band still struggled to sign a record deal. After facing numerous rejections from several major record labels, Linkin Park turned to Jeff Blue for additional help. After failing to catch Warner Bros. Records on three previous reviews, Jeff Blue, now the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, helped the band sign a deal with the company in 1999. Now aside with Warner Bros. Records, the band released their breakthrough album, Hybrid Theory, the following year.<ref name=LPT/>

Both Hybrid Theory and Meteora intertwined the nu metal and rap rock sound with influences and elements from hip-hop, alternative rock, and electronica, utilizing programming and synthesizers. All Music Guide regarded it as "a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style,"<ref>Allmusic.com allmusic ((( Hybrid Theory > Overview ))):, Retrieved on May 30, 2007</ref> whereas Rolling Stone called "Breaking the Habit" "risky, beautiful art."<ref>Rolling Stones Rolling Stone : Linkin Park: Meteora : Music Reviews:, Retrieved on May 30, 2007</ref>

In Minutes to Midnight the band experimented with their established sound and sees them drawing influences from a wider and more varied range of genres and styles, a process Los Angeles Times compares to a stage in U2's work.<ref>Calendarlive.com, Linkin Park releases new album: 'Minutes to Midnight' Retrieved on May 30, 2007</ref> In it, only two of the songs feature rapping. It also is their first studio album to feature guitar solos and to feature Mike Shinoda's singing, rather than rapping.

Linkin Park's use of two separate vocalists has become a large part of their music. Chester Bennington is most known for using growling and screaming vocals common in various forms of metal, while also using more melodic singing, and has placed 46th in Hit Paraders list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists".<ref name="lplist">RoadRunnerRecords.com, ROB HALFORD, ROBERT PLANT, BON SCOTT, OZZY Are Among 'Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists' - Dec. 1, 2006, Retrieved on December 5, 2007.</ref> Mike Shinoda is the group's MC, and does all of the rapping. Mike has also done all of the backing vocals live, and in their latest album, Minutes to Midnight, he sings lead vocals on three songs: "In Between", "Hands Held High", and the b-side "No Roads Left". Shinoda has also been placed in Hit Parader's list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists" at number 72.<ref name="lplist"/>
