Linkin Park
-je americká skupina z Kalifornie hrajúca Nu metal, čo je heavy metal s prvkami elektroniky, rapu a hip-hopu.,
História skupiny
Ako skupina začínali svoju existenciu v Kalifornii. Mike mu pri jeho 23. narodeninách zavolal že ho berie . A tak sa to začalo. Chester inak pochádza z Phoenixu v Arizone a do skupiny sa dostal tak, že odpovedal na inzerát skupiny vtedy ešte Xero(Super Xero).... Skupina začínala v malom štúdiu v spálni Mika Shinodu, v ktorej s Bradom nahrali v roku 1996 prvý materiál skupiny. Vtedy sa ešte volali Xero. Brad Delson a Mike Shinoda spolu chodili do školy, kde spoznali bubeníka Roba Bourdona. S Joem Hahnom sa Mike zoznámil na Pasadena Art College, kde študoval grafický design. Basista David Farrell bol Bradovym spolubývajúcim na internáte. Spevák Chester Bennington začal robiť nahrávky už ako 16. ročný.
Názov "Linkin Park" vznikol ako skomolenina slovného spojenia Lincoln Park (rak sa náchádza v každom väčšom meste v USA).
Linkin Park debutoval albumom Hybrid Theory (pôvodne to mal byť aj názov skupiny). Piesne z neho boli v remixovanej verzii použité na albume Reanimation. Ich nasledujúci album, napriek tomu, že obsahuje sotva 36 minút materiálu, prijali srdečne fanúšikovia, ako aj kritika. Koncertný album Live in Texas, ktorý vydali v roku 2004 mal ukázať, že skupina nie je výlučne štúdiová, nebol jednoznačne hodnotený. Jedni mu vyčítajú málo originálnu interpretáciu, nezaujímavé dialógy s publikom a komercializáciu. Iní (hlavne fanúšikovia skupiny) obracajú pozornosť na jeho živelnosť a „power“. Skupina má veľa oddaných fanúšikov, ako aj zarytých nepriateľov .

Linkin Park - What I've Done
In this farewell
There is no blood
There is no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done
For what I've done
I'll start again
And whatever thing
May come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done
