Linkin Park

Of all the great bands I heard over the last couple of weeks it was Linkin Park that most impressed me. In a serendipitous stroke of good fortune, I caught a rockumentary on the band, flying in to the UK to hear them. So I wasn’t all at sea when they came on to a damp and cold opening night at the Sonisphere music festival at Knebworth. But boy, do they play music. A sophisticated sound that seamlessly merged the predominant genres of rock and rap with a myriad other musical hues. And most importantly, a great live act.
