Linkin Park

In June 2004, Linkin Park performed 'One Step Closer' at the iconic Rock Am Ring festival, which was a defining moment for the band during the nu-metal explosion. This performance came shortly after the release of their second studio album, 'Meteora,' in March 2003. 'Meteora' was a massive success, following the groundbreaking debut 'Hybrid Theory.' By the time of this recording, Linkin Park had solidified their status as a powerhouse in rock music, captivating audiences with their energetic performances and genre-blending sound. Interestingly, this particular show highlighted the band's ongoing evolution, as they began to experiment more with live arrangements, enhancing their dynamic stage presence. It was a period brimming with creativity, during which they were already working on new material that would later appear on their self-titled album released in 2007.
