[edit] Live in Texas
I believe that there is incorrect information shown.
The information shown here says that it the footage was shot for over the course of two days. Mike stated sometime during the show Mike that they were doing two shows in Dallas but the camera guys that were in the concert will be only filming just them and not the second show.
I thought I should post here before I did anything. Right now I don't have my copy so I could verify the exact time on the DVD he stated this but I'm pretty sure.
Anyone agree with me on this?--Justwisted 20:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- The footage on the DVD is from both shows. These7enthprophet 05:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Can you confirm this?--Justwisted 04:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- The footage is definitely shot from two different songs. I don't have documented proof, but when watching the DVD you can clearly see some "mistakes". Like Mike (Shinoda) standing in one palce during a song and a second later in a different one and then in the original one again. A clearer proof is Brad (Delson) using two different guitars during one song ("One Step Closer" I think), which indicates that the footage is indeed from two different shows. Also, the text on the album art state, quote:"Recorded live August 2nd 2003 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX and August 3rd 2003 at Texas Stadium in Irving, TX at the Summer Sanitarium Tour." -- P4cman 18:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lock It?
It seems this article is getting a lot of attention lately. This isn't good.
'Meteora, their sophomore follow-up, was also extremely successful, selling over 6 million copies in the United States. Also they have won a Grammy for rap/sung callobration with artist and now close friend Jay-Z for their single song Numb/Encore. This song is of their album Collision Course.
That was posted in the opening paragraph. While it is informative (If you can decipher it), it is excessive and looks like a kindergarten student wrote it.
I move that this article be locked until this frenzy dies down and let someone have the chance (I'll volunteer) to clean it up a little bit. This article needs citations like crazy. Thanks. --These7enthprophet 06:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- okay, the amount of edits going on now is insane. i strongly suggest we lock the article. FyreNWater 05:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
okay, the page has been blanked or drastically vandalized quite a few times. can't we lock it already? FyreNWater 05:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ghost album
Most of their fans don't wanna understand that this "third studio album" will be NEVER released. These are only rumors, and LP themselves continue to tell lies. Their activity is already over. --Chargin' Chuck 20:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- And you got this idea where? They just finished the album with Rick Rubin, who must have been lying as well. Same as all the concert venues who have booked the band. Unless you have something relevent to say please don't post such things on the discussion page. --SayCheese 20:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, what the hell is this? Your idea, Chuck, is honestly one of the most retarded ideas ever. Apparently, if you are correct, then there's been a conspiracy going on worldwide concerning the new album. LP's been lying, Rick Rubin's been lying and all the venues have been lying to us? Don't think so. Hello2112 01:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Loosen up, guys. It was a joke, perhaps put in the wrong forum, but certainly well-timed as the band pushes the release date of the new album back to 2011. Roofi's Publicist 03:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- The release date of the third album, now officially named "Minutes From Midnight", has been set to May 15th for the US and 14th for Europe and Australia. P4cman 18:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Don't forget about canada. we get it on the 14th too. god. Homoeroticlove 00:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tour Dates
I added a chart with all confirmed tour dates so far. I'll keep updating as I get notice. Dragonlink2 23:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New logo and band picture
Should they be added at the top of the article? Hello2112 22:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
* Which new logo and band picture? source please.
Well heres a new pic apprently appeared on a newsletter or something: http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~jsparina/lp/photo-lp.jpg then the new logo: http://linkin-park.es/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/lplogo07.gif
i got the picture from: www.lptimes.com and I think it must be a fixed higher res version of the logo from www.linkin-park.es. The orginal picture (i think) from lp times: http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~jsparina/lp/icon-lp.jpg
I think all the fan sites have it posted as well. (Sizedude 22:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC))
- >> Well, now that we've established that the two pics exist, are we posting them or not? Hello2112 00:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- We could put up the logo but the picture might not be able to stay because we don't know if it is from a press kit or not. When more publicity photos come out we can probably change the one that's there already. --SayCheese 23:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- So, where will the logo go? Next to the old one? Hello2112 00:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I say keep the current logo and put the new one down in Recent Events, because 1) It wouldn't fit at the top since it's not very long and 2) There are probably more logos coming that would fit better up there. --SayCheese 01:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] new single further
Are you all sure this is true, were was this confirmed?
- That information isn't even on the article anymore. Obviously it wasn't true or you'd be hearing about it everywhere. --SayCheese 23:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AMG reference
I would sincerely know who continues to remove this ref. --Chargin' Chuck 21:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pitchshifter anyone?
did Linkin Park ever hear Pitchshifter's stuffs? --ArtMicael 14:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Why do you ask? similar sound --Person Place or Nothingl 19:25, 11 March 2007
ya, and this band is old. by the way maybe Linkin Park should be classified the same like Pitchshifter."Industrial-Metal"?--ArtMicael 10:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
They sound similar, but it so happens Industrial Metal is also similar to Nu Metal, LP's genre. I think LP is fine as it is. LonelyPker 01:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pts Of Athrty Picture
I have a high-res pic of the screenshot from the video: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/9937/ptsofauthwu4.jpg not sure if I should or how to replace it with the lower-res one? (Sizedude 23:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC))
[edit] Not Alternative Rock
Cannot find a ciation for Linkin Park being Alternative Rock.
Leaving the genre as Nu Metal / Rapcore is sufficent.
And generally speaking, Linkin Park do have more of a 'heavier' sound than traditional Alternative Rock bands. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.108.224.122 (talk) 04:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC).
- 1) http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/card/0,,1058894,00.html
- 2) Linkin Park has won a Radio Music Award for Best Alternative Rock Song[1]
- 3) Linkin Park themselves have classified themselves as alternative [2]
- 4) I've argued this before, but nu metal/ rapcore is redundant
- --SayCheese 04:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Nu metal and rapcore aren't synonymous. Rage Against the Machine and Kid Rock are rapcore, but not nu metal. Korn and Slipknot are nu metal, but not rapcore (except for a few songs). Crumbsucker 11:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Point taken. --SayCheese 22:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think LP's genre should (only) be changed after the new album comes out. The band has promised a new and alternative sound, which they say is definitely not nu-metal. P4cman 18:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clean Up/Images
I noticed that several of the images in this article do not met their fair use rationale. (See WP:Fair use). album covers cannot be used in stand alone galleries for decoration – they are only meant to be used on Wikipedia for critical commentary. The additional use album covers in article is also limited, as they are only to be used when words cannot describe the album. None of the FA Status articles for bands have album covers in them for that reason, see Talk:Pink Floyd#Album covers
Second, this article is rather poorly referenced. There are less than ten references in this 30+kb article, which is almost disheartening given there are 15kb articles, with more sources. See WP:Cite, WP:RS, WP:OR, WP:ATT, and Template:Cite web Thanks for your time, good luck. -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 22:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok... now there isnt a single image outside the bands name...
Ferdia O'Brien The Archiver And The Vandal Watchman 20:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- On the subject of cleaning up, the Song appearances in media section needs some work. For example it mentions that Somewhere I Belong was featured in an All-Star game. Which year? Also, is it possible to get this list into chronological order? --Tempest115 18:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- I think someone already tackled that problem. I've cleaned up the lead and first section - we should all try to use the same type of citations for a sense of consistency. -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 05:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Xero merge
Okay, the Xero (rock band) article has been tagged for merging for about half a year. now, I think that we should do this: take out all of the Xero info and insert it into the main LP article, leaving the article as an article for just the demo tape. Concerning, the concert, I don't know what to do with that. Hello2112 23:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discography Clean-Up
I cleaned up the discography page by removing the videography from it since there is already an article dedicated to that subject. Chouonsoku 05:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
Is it really accurate to list Linkin Park as a Nu Metal band? I know that their first two albums had a Nu Metal sound to it, but the band stated that they do not want to be labeled as such. Also, Linkin Park have said that their third album, "Minutes to Midnight", is completely devoid of any Nu Metal sounds. It is difficult to catagorize Linkin Park's music, but there must be a more accurate label than "Nu Metal". Perhaps the intro to the article should point some of this out instead of simply referring to them as a Nu Metal band. Hmm.. If that affects the clarity of the article, then maybe not. But still, "Nu Metal" is too narrow of a term to define Linkin Park's sound.
Mathew Williams 21:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
^^^^ Alternative rock or rapcore.

[edit] New Single "What I've Done"
I wanted to point out today is April 2nd and I just downloaded "What I've Done" from iTunes. It is noted in the article as citation needed, but clearly is official.

[edit] we're completely missing details of LP vs Warner Records feud
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1519374/20051228/linkin_park.jhtml?headlines=true&rsspartner=rssNetNewsWire http://www.google.com/search?q=Linkin+Park+and+Warner+Records+feud&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Because the problem lasted over year, and with media even circulated to the point that Warner Bros. Record would collapse without them, this topic deserve more attention then mere "In May, the band demanded to be released from its contract with Warner Bros. on the grounds of "a lack of confidence." The band was recently in negotiations with the label over a new record contract. Linkin Park had four albums left outstanding on its 2000 record contract. In December 2005 the band announced that they had finally reached a settlement with Warner Bros. Records." My idea is that we look into it more detailedly and put up more information regarding this, since this was the reason Linkin Park refused to release new album for over three years.
