Linkin Park

In June 2004, Linkin Park was riding high on the success of their sophomore album, 'Meteora', which had dropped earlier that year. Just imagine the electric energy of a live crowd at the Nürburgring, as the band delivered their thrilling rendition of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish'. This cover showcased their ability to mix genres, blending nu-metal with industrial influences, a trademark of their bold and diverse sound. What's fascinating is that 'Meteora' was a massive hit, sparking hits like 'Somebody Else's Song' and 'Numb', reinforcing their place in the rock scene. The Rock am Ring festival was a perfect platform for Linkin Park, reflecting their rising status and a growing fanbase, as they transitioned to a new phase of their career that defined their legacy in music. It's a moment that underscores the band's impact on the early 2000s music landscape, don't you think?
