Linkin Park dropped their debut album, "Hybrid Theory," in 2000. It was a mix of metal, hip-hop, and electronica, held together by a combination of Mike Shinoda's rap skills and Chester Bennington's powerful lead vocals. In spite of being lumped in with other "nu-metal" bands of the time, Linkin Park set itself apart with its lyrics and unique style. The band quickly gained success — "Hybrid Theory" was declared a best seller by 2001 and has since been certified 12x Platinum. But a lot has gone on behind the scenes for Linkin Park and its members. From the struggle to land a record deal to coping with the devastating loss of their singer, this is the untold truth of Linkin Park.
