    I really enjoy Linkin Park's music, especially their earlier releases. Saw them in Tampa a few years ago and it was a great show. They're supposed to play here in CT next month and I was looking into going.  Unbelievable, RIP.

    It's an alternate reality.  Im almost convinced.  Getting more and more bizarre. What a talented guy.  By all accounts a great guy too.  So many memories associated with his early music.  He wrote the greatest anti-Bush album of the era in Minutes to Midnight.  And Meteora is a flawless album.  Unbelievable

    Poor guy.  He had a troubled life which must have been too hard to overcome. 

    I was not not a fan of first album but learned to appreciate it more after listening to Meteora which I thought was phenomenal!  Their sound started to change and by Minutes to Midnight they were nothing like Hybrid Theory.  By A Thousand Suns I fell out of favor but respected that they tried to evolve.  People call that selling out but I think eventually we all just grow up.   I mean half this board is still waiting for Angry Eddie to reappear. Give it up!  Anyway RIP.  Our healthcare system has no fucking clue on mental illness...and I am a doctor.

    Like most people I was a pretty big fan of their first two albums. After their third album I pretty much lost interest. Live they were pretty decent I remember seeing them a few times at festivals like family values tour and summer sanitarium tour.

    His stuff with stp was pretty good as well I suppose.

    This was my favorite linkin park song
