Whether in skate parks or in the children’s room the kids gave vent to their teenage frustrations. Aggressive songs about teenage anxiety and being an outsider rule the rock radios. Next to Korn, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot nobody set the ravages of time so precisely as Linkin Park. Thanks to major support the band has already set a benchmark in the genre in 2001. The guitars are distorted and powerful enough to carry the young clientele along. The music videos are glammed up and gloomy. At the same time the presentation is never outlandish so that the parents have no need to be in fear of their offspring. Soon they reach gold and platinum status in Brazil, Canada and Switzerland. In the USA Linkin Park receives two Grammys for their debut album. For the third album „Minutes To Midnight“ the band got the producer legend Rick Rubin behind the mixers. For their promotion tour the Californians went to Japan where they played a brilliant rock concert in the Makuhari Hall.
