New Song from Linkin Park to Benefit Haiti Relief Effort

2010-01-19T19:42:00.000-05:00

Some of the biggest names in music have joined forces for DOWNLOAD TO DONATE FOR HAITI, a star-studded recovery effort to aid the devastated nation of Haiti following the magnitude-7.0 earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince on January 12.

Working with Music For Relief, Linkin Park, Lupe Fiasco/Kenna (collaboration produced by Mike Shinoda), Alanis Morissette, The All-American Rejects, Dave Matthews Band, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Kenna (track co-produced by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo), Peter Gabriel and Slash have all graciously donated never-before-released music to help raise funds and promote awareness of the recovery efforts. Shepard Fairey’s Studio Number One created the project’s artwork.

"Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti," said Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. "We pray that this initiative provides some relief and support to the survivors and hope we inspire our fans, friends and families to make donations as well."

DOWNLOAD TO DONATE FOR HAITI provides fans with the opportunity to download a collection of exclusive songs by their favorite artists and then donate funds on a purely voluntary basis. Each download is a donation. Fans can download the unreleased songs at www.Musicforrelief.org and via the websites of each participating artist.

"We're encouraging people to give what they can," says guitar legend Slash. "There's no right or wrong amount. The people of Haiti are in desperate need of food, fresh water, shelter and medical supplies and every little bit helps."

Tune in to "Larry King Live" tonight at 9pm ET - 6pm PT to see Mike Shinoda discuss the project.

100% of funds received will go directly to the Haiti efforts. In partnership with the UN Foundation’s Central Emergency Response Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and Dave Matthews BAMA Works Haitian relief efforts, Music for Relief is working to support immediate relief with food, water and emergency medical supplies as well as long-term sustainable housing solutions for the people affected by this catastrophic natural disaster.

This is a magic moment in time, when technology, coupled with generosity, talent, and ingenuity has created a unique opportunity to do something positive through the power of music.

Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people are feared dead, as the capital city has been devastated. You can help. Music for Relief is responding to aid the recovery effort in Haiti by supporting our partners in the immediate and long-term recovery effort.

I really appreciate your help, and I’m quite sure it’s going to rock.

It's a lovely idea, so please help spread the word and participate!

Linkin Park to release special rarities album with fan club package

2009-12-01T09:16:00.003-05:00

Linkin Park has announced a December 3rd release date for LPU9: DEMOS, a special rarities album available with a membership to the band's fan club, the Linkin Park Underground. The album and membership package can be purchased together at www.lpunderground.com and at select Best Buy locations and includes a t-shirt, patch, and other exclusive merchandise items.

LPU9: DEMOS features nine unreleased demo versions of some of the band’s biggest hits, including “Faint,” “Breaking The Habit,” and “Leave Out All The Rest.” Also included is “Across The Line,” a previously unreleased song recorded during the Minutes To Midnight studio sessions. Fans also get “Morning After (acoustic),” from frontman Chester Bennington’s side project, Dead By Sunrise (as an exclusive download).

“Songs change constantly over the course of the creative process, so we thought it’d be cool to share early versions of familiar tracks,” says Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda. “The versions in this collection represent important moments in the evolution of each song: different vocals, music variations, and missing parts. They're snapshots of our works-in-progress."

Since its formation in 2001, the LPU’s reach has extended worldwide to form a tight global community. The band has maintained a strong direct bond throughout, and every year they design special merchandise and release music exclusively to LPU members.

Fans first heard the new song, “Across The Line,” during online video episodes ("LPTV"). Originally entitled "Japan," fans sought out the song for years, but the band had never released it. In response to fan feedback, the band decided to finish the song and make it available as a highlight of LPU9.

"The LPU is a movement," says guitarist Brad Delson. "Their support of the band is inspiring. So we try to give back to them whenever we can. When we heard that they had been talking about 'Across The Line,' we knew we had to make it available for them."

The LPU has enabled fans worldwide to interact with members of the band, meeting them at exclusive LP Underground meet & greet signings (held at almost every Linkin Park show), or chatting with them online at exclusive chats through the fan club members-only website, www.lpunderground.com. In past years, the band has offered free concert tickets to fan club members, cast them as extras in a music video (“Faint”), and flown them out for rehearsal sessions. The site also provides fans with exclusive news, presales, contests, photos, video, and more. The fan club consistently strives to offer more to its members through website innovations, creative content, and engaging contests and giveaways. For more information, please go to www.lpunderground.com.

The full track listing for LPU9: DEMOS is as follows:

1 – “A-Six” (Original Long Version 2002)
2 – “Faint” (Demo 2002)
3 – “Sad” ("By Myself" Demo 1999)
4 – “Fear” ("Leave Out All the Rest" Demo 2006)
5 – “Figure.09” (Demo 2002)
6 – “Stick And Move” ("Runaway" Demo 1998)
7 – “Across The Line” (Unreleased Demo 2007)
8 – “Drawing” ("Breaking The Habit" Demo 2002)
9 – “Drum Song” ("Little Things Give You Away" Demo 2006)

Linkin Park is currently in the studio preparing a new album for release in 2010.

Grammy SoundChecks

2009-10-09T12:58:00.003-04:00

On September 30, multi-platinum rock band Linkin Park hosted a Grammy SoundChecks event for Grammy University Network students, a Grammy Foundation program that prepares students for careers in the music industry. Vocalist Mike Shinoda and guitarist Brad Delson invited a handful of Southern California college students into the recording studio for a question-and-answer session and demonstration of the band's writing/recording process. Using smash hit single "New Divide", which spent an incredible 14 weeks atop the Billboard Modern Rock Radio Chart, as an example, the band offered the students insight into the way LINKIN PARK crafts its songs.

"Meeting the group made me wish I had been a part of a program like Grammy U when I was in college," says Shinoda. "Brad and I talked about it afterward and were impressed by the kids and their curiosity about the process and the direction of the industry. These are students who are immersed in a fresh new world of music, both artistically and professionally. They had a great sense of energy."

One of the most successful rock bands to emerge this decade, LINKIN PARK (vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, DJ Joe Hahn and bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell) has amassed more than 45 million worldwide sales, a remarkable string of chart-topping hit singles, a pair of Grammy wins, and an international fanbase whose members number in the millions.

Linkin Park wraps up Rock’n Coke festival with two-hour performance

2009-07-20T20:41:00.001-04:00

Linkin Park closed this year's Rock'n Coke festival in İstanbul Sunday night, wrapping up two days of reveling under the sun and the stars at the vast greenery of the İstanbul Park Formula 1 race track area.

The Sixth Rock'n Coke festival, which returned this summer with an impressive lineup after a one-year hiatus due to financial problems in 2008, was expecting to draw around 40,000 revelers to see more than 300 musicians perform live on two separate stages in the huge festival area, which hosted the event for the first time.

Linkin Park was the highlight of the fest's final night, staying on the main stage for almost two hours, blaring such modern rock anthems as “In The End,” “New Divide” and “One Step Closer” to a cheering crowd of tens of thousands, which the band saluted by waving a Turkish flag onstage.

The nu metal and alternative rock band, since its formation in 1996, has sold more than 50 million albums and earned two Grammy Awards, achieving mainstream success in 2000 with the release of its debut album, “Hybrid Theory.”

Other acts of international fame who played at this year's festival included Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, Jane's Addiction, Juliette Lewis, Howling Bells, Janelle Monae, D2, Cold War Kids and Razorlight as well as Turkish rockers Duman, Manga, Hayko Cepkin, Emre Aydın and Aylin Aslım.

Around 60 hours of live music was played throughout the festival, which also featured a camping area for 15,000. The festival area, constructed over one-and-a-half months, also contained entertainment and shopping centers, food shops, parking lots, a mobile hospital, a post office, an amusement park and an Internet café.

Linkin Park: 'We'll take Muse's title of best live band in the world at Sonisphere'

2009-07-01T08:53:00.000-04:00

Chester Bennington tells NME.COM the band are gearing up to 'kick some ass'

Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington has told NME.COM that he believes his band's headline slot at this year's Sonisphere festival provides them with the perfect opportunity to become the best live act in the world.

Bennington said the he thinks Muse are currently the band to beat in the live arena, but he's confident that Linkin Park will be able to equal the Devon trio's high standards when they headline the Sonisphere festival on August 1.

"They're one of the best - if not the best - live performing bands in the world at the moment," he said about Muse, adding "We need to fucking kick some ass."

The singer also singled out Metallica – who headline the second day of Sonisphere on August 2 – as friendly rivals, saying: "I think those kind of bands elevate you as a player. You either need to shoot up and show up or you need to put your tail between your legs and hope you get through it."

Taking place at Knebworth, Sonisphere features the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Bullet For My Valentine, Machine Head and Mastodon.

Referencing Knebworth's status for staging iconic concerts in the past by the likes of Oasis, Led Zeppelin and Queen, Bennington admitted that he feels the gig is a hugely important one for Linkin Park.

"There are definitely shows that either make or break you. And I do think [Sonisphere] could be one of those shows," he revealed.

"I know that it's [Knebworth] a legendary venue where legendary acts have played, from Zeppelin to Queen and many, many more. To perform there means you better show up with your kickass pants on."

The frontman also confirmed that Linkin Park will play new single 'The New Divide' at their Sonisphere gig. The band are currently in the studio with Rick Rubin, recording the follow up to 2007 album 'Minutes To Midnight'.

Mike Shinoda answers fan questions

2009-07-01T08:51:00.000-04:00

Once again, Mike Shinoda has answered some of the questions that fans asked him on his blog. One question was about "New Divide" and its supposedly similarity to "What I've Done."

"We didn't intend for it to be a "sequel," but I can see why some people might think it is. I've seen some people on message boards making a big deal of trying to draw a line between the two songs; it seems a little over-dramatized. The two songs have a few things in common: Transformers, similar key, and tempo. There are also a few things that set them apart: the most obvious is the bridge and intro of "New Divide"...but also the song structure (the new one has a structure that we have never used in any song before, which uses a half-second chorus. The verses and chorus are also a longer format than most of our songs...which makes the song length about 4:30), and instrumentation (there are tons of differences in the instruments and sounds we used). I think they sound like two different songs with a few things in common."

Linkin Park scores #1 Music Video Premiere On MySpace Music

2009-06-19T08:36:00.002-04:00

As Linkin Park's "New Divide" was standing tall atop the Alternative Airplay charts, its companion clip debuted to record numbers, becoming the No. 1 music video debut so far this year on the MySpace Music site. The eye-popping clip, directed by Linkin Park's Joe Hahn, drew a staggering 1.8 million viewers in its first four days (cumulative views are now well over 2 million), illustrating the dominance of video consumption on MySpace Music. "New Divide" has also been the No. 1 video on MySpace each day since its launch.

"We're thrilled with the strong premiere of the 'New Divide' video," said Courtney Holt, President of MySpace Music. "It's a tribute to the incredible drawing power of Linkin Park and the impact we can have together. The premiere extends our successful track record of creating special events that resonate with music fans around the world."

To celebrate the film's opening, Linkin Park (vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, DJ Joe Hahn and bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell) will give a special free performance on June 22 in Los Angeles. L.A.-based radio station KROQ is staging a massive promotion to give some very lucky fans tickets to the event.

Brad the fascinating wonder

2009-06-16T22:33:00.002-04:00

Mike posted a blog today that said this about Brad's speech:

Brad Delson is one of the world's most fascinating wonders.
I spoke at Art Center's graduation only a short time ago. When I was preparing for that speech, I did a lot of research, watching videos and reading speeches. If I had come across Brad's speech at that time, I would have stopped writing mine entirely. I would have just called Brad and begged him to write it for me!
