Linkin Park

In July 2005, Linkin Park took the stage at Live 8 in Philadelphia, performing 'Crawling,' a standout from their debut album, 'Hybrid Theory,' released back in 2000. By this time, the band was riding high on the success of their sophomore effort, 'Meteora,' which had just come out a year prior, further solidifying their place in the rock and nu-metal scenes. This performance not only showcased their incredible energy and emotional depth but also highlighted their commitment to using music for social change, a theme that resonated throughout Live 8. It's fascinating to reflect on how 'Crawling' resonated with audiences, addressing personal struggles and the journey toward self-acceptance. With lead vocalist Chester Bennington's raw delivery, it became a pivotal anthem for many during this historic event.
