.:Linkin Park:.
The band known today was first formed in 1996 by Brad and Mike. The band consisted of Mike, Brad, Joe, Rob, Phoenix
and Mark and they were known by the name "Xero." Mark later left the band before they were called "Hybrid Theory" because
things didn't work out. The band getting serious from there but labels weren't really catching on, so they changed a few things.
Firts, they were looking for a new vocalist. About 2 years later, Chester joined the band. That's when they changed their
name to "Hybrid Theory." Once Chester was in the band, they focused on making demos and used their connections at Zomba to
get their demos out to people who would listen. Eventually after, Warner Brothers was interested and signed them to their
label. Then "Hybrid Theory" changed their name to "Linkin Park" because that name has already been taken.
