Linkin Park

In 2001, just after the release of their debut album 'Hybrid Theory', Linkin Park was on the brink of superstardom, and their performance at Rock am Ring stands as a testament to that explosive energy. 'Hybrid Theory', which dropped in October 2000, showcased their unique fusion of rock, hip-hop, and electronic elements, resonating deeply with fans and catapulting them to the forefront of the nu-metal scene. Performances from this time, like their energetic rendition of 'And One' at the PalaVobis in Milan, reflect the raw passion and burgeoning creativity of a band that was redefining genres. It's fascinating to consider how this live recording captures a moment when Linkin Park was making their mark—just before they became one of the defining bands of the early 2000s and laid the groundwork for their future hits. They were definitely on a rocket trajectory in their career, one that would lead to massive success in the years to come.
