Linkin Park's origin began in 1996 with rapper guitarist Brad Delson and Mike Shinoda with band called Xero. Other members of the band were Mark Wakefield the vocalist, Joseph Hahn the DJ, Rob Bourdon the drummer,and "Phoenix" Farrell the bassist. Brad Delson and emcee/vocalist Mike Shinoda attended the same high school together,where Delson also met the band's drummer, Rob Bourdon. Shinoda then hooked up with DJ Joseph Hahn while studying painting at the Pasadena Art Center. Xero made a four track demo tape including: Fuse, Stick N' Move, Rhinestone, and Reading My Eyes.
Mark left the band before they were called "Hybrid Theory" because things didn't work out,but he has always been a really good friend of theirs.
Their road to success started with their breakthrough album-HYBRID THEORY(october 24,2000),whose tracks like "crawling" and "one step closer"
established themselves as favourites among alternate rock.Its tracks were also included in movies such as Dracula 2000,little Nicky and Valentine.
In March of 2003, LP released their 2nd year album, Meteora. The first single "Somewhere I Belong" was an instant hit.
