Like Limp Bizkit and Korn, other bands that studiously and inexplicably avoid using the letter C, Linkin Park rocks and raps about its own sense of alienation, frustration and loneliness over a furious wall of musical fuzz. But what separates Linkin Park from the rest of the rapidly expanding nu-metal field is that the band's six members--Bennington, Hahn, 24, rapper Mike Shinoda, 24, guitarist Brad Delson, 24, bassist Phoenix (just Phoenix, thanks), 24, and drummer Rob Bourdon, 23--inject nearly everything they do (save their songs) with a sweetly humanistic approach. They may scream "Shut up when...
...Shinoda, "the vision was, 'Let's create a hybrid of hip-hop and heavier music and electronic music and try to make it into one sound.' It was pretty crude when we started." So crude that every major label took a pass. Things only got worse when Limp Bizkit, Korn and other fusion groups hit the charts with a similar musical formula.

As the largest quick-serve restaurant corporation in the world, it "has enormously deep pockets and that is a tremendous advantage,'' says Korn Chatikavanij, managing director of Jardine Fleming Thanakom Securities...
...immature as many of the films sound (the festival, not surprisingly, is vehemently endorsed by Korn), much of the humor can be rather clever. And Mike did manage to sneak in some sequences that could even be considered-gasp-tasteful. In "Rejected," you view animated commercials made for the Family Learning Channel that, for obvious reasons, were turned down: "The Ghost of Stephen Foster" displays crisp animation (with Squirrel Nut Zippers music) pleasantly reminiscent of the 1930s, and Pixar's "For the Birds" shows off computer animation at its best...
