轻人自由、博大、包容的精神世界。




Brad (结他手) 和 Mike (Rapper-美日混血儿)一起就读同一间 HighSchool 所以认识,而且在大约1996年组成一队Band叫做"Xero".这队 Band 的阵容同现在的相差很大.但亦系 Linkin Park 的基础.开始时他们二人只用Mike的睡房作为录音室而录出第一只歌.在学校中亦认识了 Rob (鼓手). Mike 在 Pasadena 的艺术学校(设计科)认识了Joe(Dj韩美混血儿)~ 而Phoenix(现在的低音结他手)是在UCLA读紧书时同屋朋友.经过多次变动后,成员大约是 : Milke, Brad, Joe, Rob, Phoenix , Mark .因为队Band进展唔好, Mark 决定离开,但系他仍然是他们的好友.而 Mark 则是现在 Taproot 的 manager .而队 Band 就改名为"HybridTheory"因为主音Mark Wakefield的离队而要找人填补他的位置.他们便寄出一些样本带给他们的朋友和朋友既朋友一传十...十传百.只要有兴趣的人将自己把声录入去然后寄回给他们.Chester Bennington(现时主音)16岁开始组 Band ,在之前他的 Band "Grey Daze"从律师楼认识了 "Xero". 此公司告诉他们 Chester 可能帮到佢地 , 所以就也寄给他 .同时Chester 和老婆刚刚买下一间在 Phoenix , Arizona 的屋,其中一个朋友给了Chester,他就在三日后给电话队Band说他十分有兴趣.他们很兴奋三日便收到回复而且叫 Chester 在电话中播带听听.当时 Chester 正在生日 party 中."Xero"听后发觉十分正,而 Chester 亦都起程到 S.California 会合.而 Chester 在加入 Linkin Park 前一个月放弃了组 Band.十六岁便开始录唱片玩音乐的 Chester 笑着说 : "我才两岁大我就爱唱 Foreigner 的歌,我还有录制成带子.从我开始学说话,我就老是诉大家,我长大一定要当歌手.




成名经历：

乐团的奋斗经历坎坷。他们在20世纪90年代就已经开始尝试的说唱金属风格，在很长一段时间中，得不到主流音乐行业的赏识。在签约出片的过程中，三年来不知道有少主流唱片公司不屑他们，他们举办42场试唱会来赢取合约，失败了42次，连签下他们的华纳也曾多次回绝，而如今他们成为“华纳之宝”，以漂亮的销售数字狠狠地让看不起联合公园的人跌破眼镜。而在他们苦苦等待唱片公司签约的同时，他们的单曲《ONE STEP CLOSER》却在网路上大红特红，在雅虎的歌迷讨论区短短一个月就涌入千篇的讨论，在BBS上更是当红话题。也正是网络的力量使得华纳提前意识到了乐团的宝贵价值，毅然与之签约。

但乐团在网络上的走红也为乐团的最后定型添加了小小插曲，那就是他们最终发现，即便是在强大的网络基础支持下，他们也是不可能注册到"LINCOLN PARK.COM"这个域名，但乐团又不能缺乏网络的后盾。所以，乐团的最终名称就成为了今天的"LINKIN‘ PARK"(令肯公园)，而"LINKINGPARK.COM"也就顺理成章地成为了乐团的官方网站。

专辑状况：

乐队在20世纪中，曾陆续推出过一些单曲和EP。千禧年的10月24日，乐队推出了他们的首张大碟《混合理论》(HYBRID THEORY)。自从这个日子以后，"令肯公园"的音乐，以及这支乐团所代表的一切，就一发不可收拾的如日中天起来。专辑中共收录了乐团的12首歌曲，每一首都是说唱金属的经典之作。2001年，这张专辑取得了美国本土的最高销量，连续75周占据专辑销售排行榜前5名位置，并仍在不停地刷新着自身的销售记录，直到今天。目前，这张专辑的全球销量保守估计在一千六百多万张左右。



良好的销售状态使得华纳唱片迅速在2001年底推出了《混合理论》的双张全球庆功版，其中添加了乐队的演出现场录音，以及两首全新歌曲《MY DECEMBER》和《HIGH VOLTAGE》，并打算继续推出该专辑的混音版和"公园鼓舞翻唱版"。

乐团的歌曲还被广泛运用在很多叫好又叫座的影片中，如《吸血鬼2000》、《勾魂情人节》、《小尼基》等等。

音乐风格：

并没有相对固定的流派，而是融合了说唱、重金属、嘻哈乐以及电子舞曲等多种风格。值得一提的是，乐团在歌词中强烈地反映了当代E时代年轻人的心声，剖析了他们的迷惘、苦闷和愤怒，掏出了他们最底层的呐喊。而在当今这个"脏话连篇"的年代，乐团的歌词却非常干净，没有任何漫骂或亵渎的意味，即便是攻击，也是一针见血直指要害，而非空洞无物粗口横流，这不仅在当今摇滚乐坛是少见的，更应该被奉为是当代年轻人心理探询的教科书，而广泛推荐，仔细研究。

It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter
How hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by
As the pendulum swings
Watch it count down
To the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go
Right out the window
Trying to hold on,
But didn't even know
Wasted it all just
To watch you go
I kept everything inside and
Even though I tried,
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will
Eventually be a
Memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing,
I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter
How hard you try,
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme,
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way
You were mocking me
Acting like I was
Part of your property
Remembering all the
Times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way
They were before
You wouldn't even
Recognise me anymore
Not that you
Knew me back then
But it all comes
Back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried,
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will
Eventually be a
Memory of a time when I

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I don’t know who to trust your surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust
in you just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
Tension is building inside steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Happy thoughts forcing their way out of me
Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust
in you just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
I won’t waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You
I’ll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
You
You

Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame puts your name to shame
Cover up your face you can't run the race
The pace is too fast you just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong(You live what you learn)
You want to act like you're someone(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you've been through(You live what you learn)

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in my life
My pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong (forfeit the game)(You live what you learn)
You want to act like you're someone (forfeit the game)(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you (forfeit the game)(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you've been through(You live what you learn)

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

You / Now I see / Keeping everything inside
You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

You / Now I see / Keeping everything inside(With you)
You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes(With you)


No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That it's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That it's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing what is real
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, confusing what is real

[00:09.12]Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
[00:11.97]The number one question is how could you ignore it
[00:14.01]And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
[00:17.00]Rap stack got you back in the sub black
[00:18.99]Rewind that we just rolling with the rhythm
[00:21.47]Rise from the ashes of stylist division
[00:23.65]With these non-stop lyrics of life living
[00:26.30]Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
[00:28.49]But in the meantime there are those 
[00:30.74]who wanna talk this and that
[00:32.20]So I suppose that it gets to a point 
[00:34.41]where feelings gotta get hurt
[00:35.78]And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes

[00:38.16]Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
[00:42.96]Told you everything loud and clear
[00:45.25]But nobody’s listening
[00:47.75]Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me
[00:52.45]Told you everything loud and clear
[00:54.81]But nobody’s listening

[00:57.17]I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
[00:59.54]Head full of anger, held in my chest
[01:01.89]And everything left’s a waste of time
[01:04.01]I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
[01:06.56]I’m riding on the back of this pressure
[01:08.99]Guessing that it’s better 
[01:10.02]I can’t keep myself together
[01:11.59]Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
[01:13.91]The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
[01:16.39]Never forget the blood sweat and tears
[01:19.02]The uphill struggle over years the fear and
[01:21.25]Trash talking and the people it was to
[01:23.57]And the people that started it just like you


[01:25.99]Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
[01:30.81]Told you everything loud and clear
[01:33.34]But nobody’s listening
[01:35.75]Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me
[01:40.46]Told you everything loud and clear

[01:49.90]Uphill struggle
[01:51.41]Blood sweat n tears
[01:52.53]Nothing to gain
[01:53.61]Everything to fear
