Hey
I hav never ben into music but recently i listened to this 'linkin park' in my cousins ipod and since then, very unexpectedly I am in luv with this sort of music.
I listen to their album(meteora) like every day atleast 5 times. Its so intense pumpin , just awsome!!

exactly which sort of music is this - *files.myopera.com/chesss/files/don't%20stay.ogg (300kb) - me body is craving to hear more similar stuff.

considered nu-metal though LP doesn't match the hardness of other nu-metal bands and the rap-rockish style is usually absent in other bands of the same genre.

"Don't Stay" is nu-metal too.

if you want music similar to linkin park the band you should look for is "Adema" ;)

I dunno if its really alternative. It gets heavy playtime on radio now-a-days.

That sound you're asking is produced by a Turntable .. Those Vinyls and all that DJs use. Joe Hahn is the DJ/Turntablist in Linkin Park.

Am surprised people aren't saying "STFU u 13 yr ol' n00b, LP scks" :)

Well LP is defined in a different way, It's Alternative ROCK.
SO I think some one say it's a rapcore which is around, but They are defined under Alternative ROCK.

hi

Lp is actually now classifed as a alternative metal band ever since they released 'minutes to midnight' which i think is their best work ever with stronger guitars and physco piano work....apparently they spent 14 months wrking on this album and wrote 101 songs in the process..at least that whats what the band claims

there are better altrenative metal band like ADEMA, DEFAULT ,TOOL (MY FAV)...

LP IS JST OVERRATED

^^ Thx. They seem to be a cross between Sepultura and LP. But good, all right.
