How Linkin Park’s “Hybrid Theory” Made Them Rich and Famous

[@Devoted_believer]

A powerhouse of an album, not one bad song on it

[@adjustmentday]

Indeed!

[@SM-th7pw]

Not a bad song, but In The End is mid and overrated

[@SirMLP]

@@SM-th7pw I highly disagree but respect your opinion.

[@Thegreenwolf17]

@@SM-th7pwits overrated, but not mid in any way

[@SM-th7pw]

@@Thegreenwolf17 Agree to disagree. When a song is so popular and appeals to the normie pop crowd that only know that one song by that bad, I personally tend to get sick of it, again, not a bad song, I respect and appreciate it’s legacy as an LP staple, but i’m always skipping it.

[@TheSharker]

Hybrid Theory was more than just an album. It was a masterpiece, a lifesaver for millions of fans. I would say what Linkin Park did will never be beaten.

[@Esbjergfyr321]

You mean billions of fans all over the world

[@WilVincent88]

Second best LP Album of all time. How they transformed it into Reanimation is something no band, ever will be able to replicate.

[@theogofguitar]

@@WilVincent88I hated Reanimation at first and the LP JayZ collab I just wanted a new album lol but looking back man they were doing crazy experimental stuff with just one album out. Hybrid Theory is a landmark album, among the nu Metal craze there was a lot of crap and one hit wonders and they stood head and shoulders above most. So happy they have a cemented legacy and kept going and reinvented themselves even if I fell off after Meteora

[@Louis-XXVI]

Whoever made this... is a pretty good editor.

[@adjustmentday]

Agree 👍

[@maewhiskero]

Shout out to Channing Tatum for giving the band a development deal.

[@TheLilia7x]

I came back to this comment after watching the video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nishitraj7982]

One of the greatest albums ever produced. With You and Pushing Me Away are underrated.

[@CityInTheDark1]

This album made me the person I am today. I was about 12 or 13 years old when this record came out and for once in my life I didn’t feel alone. I knew someone… somewhere… felt the way I did and I took comfort in that. No other piece of art has had such a profound impact on me even to this day as Hybrid Theory and Meteora

[@lordkhal]

More LP stuff! Awesome, bro! 👍

[@adjustmentday]

More to come!

[@kaydenjordison7205]

​@@adjustmentdayplease do meteora and minutes to midnight. They're my other fav albums.

[@OMZYGAMINGHD]

One Step Closer will forever be my favourite LP song 🔥

[@christopherbaker9676]

I like the live in Texas version too.

[@JockJab]

That intro is exactly what plays in my mind whenever I hear or read the words "Linkin Park"

[@imargamonline2238]

Nice video man insane quality im rooting for you

[@adjustmentday]

Thank you 🙏

[@NahNotNFS]

Hybrid Theory, Meteora and Living Things - I just LOVE these 3 albums!

[@Marcelooxxzzyy]

LIVING THINGS is so underrated, a great album!

[@joeshmow9097]

Hybrid Theory is one of the most important albums to ever drop in music. It changed the game and impacted an entire generation. An incredible album that was released at the PERFECT time. Sometimes a little luck helps too. A masterpiece of an album

[@jimmyispromo]

Great job, man. Very well done. Powerful video

[@adjustmentday]

Much appreciated!

[@FelipeDeCastroCruz]

This album was the sound of a generation.

[@talk844]

I'm into harder forms of music but I loved and still love LP to this day. Thanks Linkin Park for my teenage years. ❤❤❤ RIP Chester.

[@kaydenjordison7205]

If Papercut was brad, chester and mike favorite song, for me that song "favorite" isn't even the right word.

[@abir_joy]

The only history I’m interested and never getting bored….!!!

[@picklemat4619]

This is my favourite album of all time where I know all but one some on the album. I loved there early stuff with their first 3 albums and slowly getting to know there there other stuff with Chester. It will take time for their new singer to work their way into my playlist if that happens.

[@theogofguitar]

I at this time believe a new band name and moniker would have been best but…it’s obvious many fans want to hear the old LP it’s just filling that void is tough. Hopefully overtime I get proven wrong

[@SteelRims]

Hey, "Platinum Lotus Foundation" would surprisingly fit a band or artist today. 😂

[@VTGGT]

A place for my head is the most under-rated song of the album IMO.

[@SunnyBeeRandomTuber]

They changed it...they became a culture ....they were the soundtrack of a generation

[@AndrewTimir]

RIP Chester

[@johnaplin9848]

Hybrid Theory is one of my top five favorite albums of all time

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I remember in October of 2000 I was 10 years old. I walked to the small record shop a few blocks from my house just to kill time and take the free demo tapes. I got 2 tapes, one was for this small band called Slipknot and the other was from an unknown band called Linkin Park. It was the first time I ever fell in love with a band. After that I saved my chores money for a couple of weeks. The day hybrid theory came out. My Bbest friend and I walked to the store in the rain and each got a copy. I probably listened to that album 500 times over the next few months. Then when meteora came out... I didn't like it and became a Linkin Park hater lol. Eventually I came back around to liking them and then chester died and now they are forever legends in my head.

[@samesultani9191]

I am still listening to it, R.I.P. Chaster missed you

[@dopk1000]

Awesome video man, learned a lot!

[@themestizokid]

What a great video dude, this was awesome to watch

[@bpmcmanson8701]

Hybrid theory is arguably their best album by far

[@kevinventura546]

I found a burned CD in 2006 that someone had thrown away and it had one LP song ‘Don’t Stay’ and kept it on repeat on a CD player or on the DVD player with the sound all the way up…Most people know Linking Park songs it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t (Well for my age group really not newer gens)

[@bytescyz4119]

I don’t know how or when I got into LP. I remembering listening to them at home, on the bus ride to school, bus ride home, walking around the city. I listened to Hybrid Theory so many times and their songs were just stuck in my head. I remember one time my mom was trying to wake me up for school and I just started singing the chorus to Pushing Me Away while half asleep. She was like “wtf?” lol I was so embarrassed but that’s just shows how Linkin Park lived in my head and heart rent free.

[@brisasdelmar4400]

Fight club in the production. So sick

[@sentiasatransformasi]

hybrid theory is one of the best albums of all time.. even until now it just sounds so fresh n unique.. maybe bcs the themes of anger n frustration has always been there deep inside our hearts so even kids can listen to it n be connected to it

[@romeoromero808]

This album is what got me into Rock and ultimately into Metal, love this forever ❤ keep up the content mate

[@himbaerno1]

I honestly like this album, but mike shinoda took it with reanimation to the next und final level. Most underrated LP album and my favourite by far. It's still as perfect 22 years later, listening eversince. However, when i first heard in the end on MTV back then, i knew this is IT, me 13 and this music, a match.....one of millions as it would show. Made my early youth, this band and the album!!! 1love

[@fridz66]

Hybrid Theory was a game-changer for sure. Not a single ear escaped "In The End" from radios to malls to Hardware stores.

[@dakumauler]

Nice mini little documentary I appreciate this says someone that’s been a fan of them since hybrid theory

[@theunnaturalformula]

I would not be alive today if it was not for that album

[@Marc-o4x]

Stay up brother

[@liongordel9088]

Rest In Peace 🙏 Chester Bennington ❤

[@YB-qd1en]

Amazing ❤

[@Onslaught2k3]

I was one of the only kids with hybrid theory and my discman. I was hooked to LP once I heard their album.

[@tapatapaz]

This is really well put up, cheers

[@WilVincent88]

Dave talking about Chester and becoming a part of the band. 25 years later, that as a soundbite would have been the same about Emily. It just has to work.

[@samwinchester2867]

Ohhh chester ... miss you pretty bad man 🥺😔❤

[@fdding]

I don't know why the band hated the rest of Blue the chorus off of it they scrapped is a top 5 Linkin Park hook for me but I do understand if they thought it didn't fit in the rest of album

[@prabijshrestha]

Linkin park saved my life but it can’t save chester his ownlife 😢😢

[@theorel265]

not sure about that. I think he was killed but I have no proofs, just a big heavy feeling.

[@FlawedOffroad]

I remember rolling up to co-op tapes and records to buy this on release day, my friends thought I was wasting my $. Until they heard it anyway. So crazy to think how long ago that was and how iconic that record would be. I was 16

[@barsthesnowcat]

really professional documentary film!

[@theogofguitar]

Still remember getting it at 10 years old for Christmas…blasting this over THPS2 on the Dreamcast and Perfect Dark multiplayer on N64. I would stay up super late just to catch One Step Closer and the Crawling music video, I even recall recording it on my VCR because it was not in crazy rotation on MTV at the time though radio play was crazy for it. I think I first saw them on the Farmhouse music video countdown with Matt Pinfield and my cousin was like these guys are the NEXT big thing….man what a long wait for Meteora to come out after pretty sure I destroyed my family computer trying to download somewhere I belong early on Kazaa….possibly the most 00s millennial rock status I could make

[@0223Jeremy]

So weird to see what I would have listened to or acted like without this album. It was that instrumental to my childhood

[@ALEN1ful]

So I was the guy that didnt even bother to audition after hearing Chester sing. I told them to pick Chester because he had the best voice I heard in a long time so the world basically owes me. Thats what I would be saying if I was the guy that didnt audition after Chester.

[@blackwavearcade3ms]

The biggest bro / chad "metal" album of all time. Never understood the love this band gets

[@bugs2049]

2:41 I thought this was an edited image of Channing Tatum just to refer to Jeff until he start talkin' 😭😭

[@vb-_-]

Great video. Keep it up!

[@hunterkelley968]

Is Michael Rosenbaum the narrator? Sorry if it says it at the end lol posting this comment midway through the video

[@deonakasuccessjenkins]

One of my fav tracks is runaway...wish they had talked about it in this video

[@derguyderstinkt]

Its a "perfect" one

[@deonakasuccessjenkins]

@derguyderstinkt agreed

[@wanderingsnail6698]

Can you make a video Linkin Park collaboration with Jay Z? Two power houses merging in pure music joy. Thank you.

[@ericjayfederizo3549]

Hybrid theory: my high shool soundtrack

[@drakizta]

I remember my brother buy linkin park cd when we were young. We don't like rap/hiphop back then but linkin park introduce us to listen to eminem too and I become a rock and metal lover 😂

[@Transformers_nerd_stop_motions]

I love this album so much, I recently got it in CD form!

[@zuluzolo7853]

done that shit 20years ago hahah but still props to u to do it today

[@Jamesadamiak]

Is this narrated by Michael Rosenbaum?

[@ethanbezuidenhout4083]

I'm wondering the same thing!

[@meesohonee]

First album I ever purchased with my first check I ever earned.

[@etothez9898]

I want more! This video should’ve been 1 hour. It was captivating, it wants you to immediately explore the band and their music more and hear them with a new perspective. Please do a breakdown of Meteora, it is for me personally one of the greatest if not the greatest album ever made.

[@Box2007XD]

1999 And 2000 Was Legend, trust me

[@kaushikofficial]

I like so many songs in the album, but nothing is universal as "In the end" Give 2 notes of the song to a child in another part of the world, it would be recognized!

[@0223Jeremy]

Honestly I think living things is underrated

[@cherrywavez99]

it was AMAZING and still is! i know all those idiots in high school that loved shouting, "LINKIN PARK SUCKS!!" to me were secretly jamming it all night long.

[@Ains02]

Man, please teach me how to like you 1000x.

[@minatohashiba4978]

“HYBRID THEORY” remember the name future kids

[@theorel265]

It proves that without Chester, LP wouldn't be famous. I say that because some of Emily's fans think she could do it. I think this would be a band among others.

[@nedoneis2324]

I pass my time to say that on some publications, and apparently they wouldnt be signed without Chester, he was the chosen one because of his voice, and they presented him to Xero. And, magic happened ! Even the name Linkin Park is an idea from Chester, Lincoln Park, then Linkin P.

[@theorel265]

@nedoneis2324 Exactly. WE are on the same page. I'm glad to have some guys who don't lose their senses. You're a true fan.

[@TheSoccerseeker]

Grey daze is a great album

[@jbrosupra]

As great and influential hybrid theory is meteora is peak lp

[@idea_music]

"red hat gimmick" lol sounds familiar

[@lanafan4993]

🔊The Best of The Best and the hottest great album✌🏼💿✌🏼4️⃣ EVER L🤩♥️💖❤️E Linkin Park❤️‍🔥🎶 🎧🎵💯🙏🏼Thank you❣️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@itzDrexzyyy]

Love this. You don’t mention it specifically in here but I like how Chester shifted from singing into the distorted vocals we know now just by Mike asking him to sing the part they were doing but more aggressively and the unique Chester sound we all know now was what came out, and he just responded with yes that just do that all the time 😂😂😂 saw that in an interview and it made me chuckle, to think the amazing vocals he had that sound so practiced and fine tuned were only made because he was asked to shout instead of sing one time is just funny, we could’ve ended up with a completely different sound if Mike hadn’t asked him to try that, I’m glad he did, this album was the soundtrack to my teens ❤️🔥

[@GrifTGM]

I think in this process of becoming who they are, they forgot how to make a terrible song

[@bjorndelima]

Crawling was the first song I illegally downloaded 😂

[@robertcarter1608]

PoA and Meteora entirely i can lip sync.

[@lllSCOOPlll]

And then Rick Rubin destroyed the band’s signature sound and style forever.

[@DavidA-xp4ww]

CIA killed Chester

[@deneo222]

I don't like Karaoke Park in 2024.

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

Why does the narrator sound like Rick Rubin 😭

[@adjustmentday]

I’m Rick Rubin obviously.

[@runningrants2763]

❤❤❤

[@_fat_thor_]

Hybrid Theory didn't make Linkin Park rich LOL. You forget that bands take out loans from the label to make their album and they're stuck in a cycle of contracts to pay it back.

[@craigime]

he means it made them popular... which got them rich

[@Mic1904]

You'd agree that Linkin Park today are rich (as far as rock band today go), yes? What exactly do you think started that?

[@VigilanteWilliamson]

​@Mic1904 fair enough but its also important to realize how scummy the industry is and how they under pay artists

[@Laissez-faire402]

You're a lot less likely to stay in debt to the record company once the album sells 10 million copies

[@unnf9971]

I blame the guy who shot Harambe. After harambe died we lost Chris and Chester the next year since then it's tragedy after tragedy.

[@Daedroh]

And now Peanut the Squirrel 😢

[@MrShimitty1]

Now I could be wrong. But at 16:13 that’s not Chester that’s the singer of tribute band of LP “hybrid theory”

[@adjustmentday]

That’s Chester, bud.

[@benndarayta9156]

Yeah they look very similar

[@lucyferina]

And they didn’t do anything nearly as good ever after it.

[@ChiillaHKiillaH]

Meteora? Hello?!

[@theorel265]

hunting party too

[@Zeppenfeldgarden]

It’s also very simple to play on guitar. Most the songs are in Drop D 🤘

[@quietonsetinflunecersedition]

And also shat on them, bc fans can't get past this album. Even if they put out Hybrid Theory in 2024, it would have been considered a sellout. SMH.
