Linkin Park was more appealing the less conventional it was during its headlining set. When Bennington was wailing the likes of “Breaking the Habit,” it made for some dreary meanders, whereas his frequent interplay with the straight-on raps of guitarist Mike Shinoda gave tunes such as “Somewhere I Belong” some juice.
For all the group’s espousal of genre bridging, most of its forays are from the same formula, and primal-angst tunes along the lines of “Given Up” and “Numb” became wearying. [MORE]
Former SOUNDGARDEN and AUDIOSLAVE star CHRIS CORNELL celebrated his 44th birthday onstage with LINKIN PARK on Sunday (20Jul08).
The rocker joined the Projekt Revolution headliners for a rendition of their Crawling hit and was then surprised when Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington had remembered his birthday.
Bennington led a chorus of Happy Birthday as Cornell beamed.
Even the adored Linkin Park played it safe, though, playing pounding rap-metal numbers - “Lying From You,” “Somewhere I Belong,” “No More Sorrow” - up front before delving into poppier, softer fare like “Given Up,” where Bennington sang sweetly over covocalist Mike Shinoda’s melancholic rap. Rhymes joined them for their collaboration “We Made It,” and Cornell bopped on “Crawling.” The beat feast finale, “Bleed It Out,” featured Los Angeles punk percussion troupe Street Drum Corps, which also introduced Linkin Park’s set and opened the main stage, too.

With all the great acts on this year’s Projekt Revolution tour, you had to know there were going to be some interesting collaborations. And they didn’t waste any time getting down to it. At the tour kickoff Wednesday outside of Boston, CHESTER BENNINGTON joined CHRIS CORNELL on stage to perform TEMPLE OF THE DOG’s “Hunger Strike.” Later that night, Cornell returned the favor by joining LINKIN PARK during their set to help sing “Crawling.”
Cornell likens that musically eclectic tour to this year’s Projekt Revolution tour, where he co-stars with acts like rock/hip-hop hybrid Linkin Park, manic rapper Busta Rhymes, punk-metal band Atreyu and the electronica-influenced rock band The Bravery. The tour comes to Camden on Saturday and Holmdel on Wednesday.
Linkin Park rapper Mike Shinoda thinks the comparison is apt, too.
“That was probably one of those tours that this tour is in part inspired by because, at least for me, that was one of my favorite concerts,” he says.
Linkin Park has organized and headlined Projekt Revolution tours in five of the last seven years. The original idea, Shinoda says, was “to showcase groups that were doing something revolutionary, something original, something different.”
On a more basic level, the mix reflects “the kind of music that our band listens to,” Shinoda says. “That’s why we reach out to these bands in the first place.” [MORE]

After Stone Temple Pilots played an encore at a festival that they weren’t closing, Linkin Park took the stage and played a bunch of songs to a rapidly dwindling audience. They were entertaining enough, but considering 75 per cent of the people were there to see STP, it was much too little and far too late. [MORE]

ENERGY: I bet you have done a millions of interviews. How should I start?
Chester: I cant tell you. I have no idea.
ENERGY: Or lets say whats a bad question?
Chester: I can give you examples of that questions. “How did you started”? That would be a terrible one. Or „how was the work with Rick Rubin“?
We had to answer those questions over hundret times over the last one and a half year.
Or” how did you get your band name”? “How is the german audience in comparison of the other audience?”
ENERGY: All right I dont have any of those question. If the word Linkin Park was in a dictionary what would be written undearneath it?
Chester: uuuh thats a good question. I would like to say something smart but ehhh…..maybe someone else can do that. Next question. Maybe someone smarter can answer that one. [MORE]
