This episode, Steve and Doug talk about the massively successful Linkin Park, trendsetters in the nu-metal scene that was so-often imitated.

All while touring.

One Step Closer - Hybrid Theory
Faint - Meteora
What I've Done - Minutes To Midnight

2:32 - Here's Weird Al desperately trying to explain Internet marketing and partnership to Fox's Stuart Varney.

6:55 - We took that request to heart and did indeed do an episode, G Is For Great Speckled Bird!

22:25 - Of course! Korn's "Freak On A Leash" was a huge hit in 1999. And Limp Bizkit had released a couple albums in the mid to late 90's.

25:45 - Steve is referring to Vancouver's rock radio station CFOX 99.3 FM, The Fox.

27:43 - Hybrid Theory actually hit #1 again on iTunes and Amazon's charts in July of 2017, after Chester Bennington died.

28:23 - Linkin Park's placement on the list of best-selling debut albums depends on the article you read, and when the article was written. This article lists it at #2, but this one lists it at #10, just for example.

39:35 - Here's the archive of Linkin Park's tours since they started. At the time of writing, they've had over 1200 live performances, and the cluster in their early years is intimidating.

1:08:26 - We go into Our Lady Peace far more in depth with our episode, O Is For Our Lady Peace!

1:13:52 - Check out this link to Fuse's story on Chester's view of music festivals.

Linkin Park is my favorite band of all time. As someone who grew up with their music, I am really happy that they are getting the attention that they deserve. Well, I am sad that their lead vocalist died, it is truly a bitter end to an amazing career. I hope that he is resting peacefully where ever he is today. All of this typing has made me want to listen to their music even more, and I will do it very soon.
