Linkin Park rate the VMA
posted by Jas, 09/08/08 | share
Comments from Chester and Joe about last night's Video music awards.

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington agreed. "Last year was probably one of the worst experiences of my professional career," he told us. "It was terrible. This year's show is much better." His band's "Shadow of the Day" picked up the award for Best Rock Video, and Joe Hahn said, "This is a cool video because it's one that the whole band wasn't in. It was just Chester and he carried the whole video. We're trying to do different things so it feels good to win for that."

The format was very different, as artists performed at various venues throughout the Paramount lot, with the theater as the main stage. Linkin Park's Joe Hahn said, "The vibe inside is great. And I love DJ AM and Travis Barker as the house band."

PR Tour review and photos
posted by Jas, 09/02/08 | share
A review of Projekt Revolution concert in East Troy, WI from Lumino magazine and lp1986soldier found more LP photos from the PR shows in Maryland Heights, MO, Mountain View, CA, Cuyahoga Falls, OH and Cincinnati, OH.

With that, it was time for Linkin Park to blow the audience away with their multi-level set and eye catching lights. Three men began the show with a "Stomp" like performance. Black-lights lit up the entire stage including the neon strips on the men's suits. They made amazing beats with enormous drums that pumped up the audience even more. They ended their mini-performance by making sparks on one of the drums with a Grinder Power Tool. The entire audience went crazy when Chester Bennington appeared on stage. Linkin Park played a plethora of songs from all of their albums including "Shadow of the Day," "Numb," and "Paper Cut."

Chris Cornell snuck on the stage and made a guest appearance for the song "Crawling," which was a great moment and one of the highlights of the evening. "In the End" was one of the last songs Linkin Park played; the entire audience sang along with Chester and enjoyed every moment of it. The night ended with a great encore that included a jam session by Mr. Hahn and his sound effects board. Projekt Revolution was a big success this year. A big thanks goes out to Linkin Park for providing this amazing experience. As Chester Bennington stated, this could not have happened if it weren't for the, "amazing line up of bands that gives 110% each day". Hats off to Linkin Park and the rest of Projekt Revolution 2008!. Full review
