Touring
** Any info to add or correct? Email Galoipo@aol.com **

  • According to Chester,their 1st tour was the hardest because they had a tour manager and were on an RV, with no crew. The band had to load everything and take turns driving. Their RV broke down a couple of times as well.

  • When Linkin Park started touring they had different bass players then hired a bass player named Scott who was/is not part of the band. Phoenix is a part of the band.

  • Brad had the most incredible rush/memorable concert experience at Roseland ballroom in NY because there were probably 4,000 people packed into a club and the entire crowd was reacting to their music.

  • The first tour linkin park was on was with "the union underground." The guys from the union underground decided it would be really funny to play pranks on linkin park and Systematic. They didn't really do anything to linkin park but they put live chickens on systematic's stage, and the chickens got caught in the lights and were pooping on the drums, the guitarist couldn't even move anywhere cause there were chickens all over his feet. so linkin park played after systematic and in preparation for their prank - somebody in linkin park "who wouldn't ever usually do something like this" decided to defecate into a trash bag, and if anything at all happened to lp on stage, that person was going to throw it on union underground. Apparently word got around that you shouldn't mess with linkin park. Luckily lp ended up leaving the bag of feces.

  • Linkin Park toured with Papa Roach in December and lp called them "the broken home boys" and papa roach called lp "linkin park rangers"

  • On Lp's Street Soldier Headliner tour here's stuff they were planning on doing but didn't: They were supposed to play some covers. Phoenix wanted to do a Fiona Apple song but he didn't think they could pull off the piano parts. Mr. Hahn was supposed to have some time to show off his skills, which I think they did do at a few shows...? but then stopped.

  • When Lp were on Tour with the Kottonmouth Kings, Corporate Avenger and Rehab, Mike said that it was funny because Rehab had a lot of vulgarity in their set, Corporate Avenger had a song called 'The Bible Is Bullshit' and the Kottonmouth Kings literally smoked a half a pound of weed on stage every night. The memorable experience that Mike had was going and playing downtown Disney World in Orlando with these groups. The Mickey Mouse police came and tried to arrest people.

  • On May 7, 2001 while Lp was doing their concert in Sydney, Australia, the stage floor collapsed. The only thing that saved Lp from collapsing in the floor was the carpet.

  • At the 6-12-01 Ozzfest in Indianapolis, IN Linkin Park dressed up as 80's Rock Stars complete w/leather pants, bandanas, studs, etc. This was their way of dealing with some rough ROCK crowds the first couple shows.

  • At the 7-28-01 Ozzfest in Charlotte, North Carolina, Chester invaded the stage during Papa Roach's set as 'Super-Chester'. He was wearing a towel as a cape and a sleeping/water mask covering his eyes. This took place on Coby Dick's birthday. Of course both Papa Roach and the audience were really amused by this, lol.

  • Coby Dick from Papa Roach had a habit of showing up on stage during Lp's sets at Ozzfest/Off-fest every so often as well.

  • At the 8-9-01 Big Day Off at Jones Beach, NY, Chester came out during Disturbed's set and sang the Pantera song 'Walk' with Disturbed. Disturbed did this song at other Ozzfest/Off-fest dates as well so I'm sure Chester also sang along at some other shows w/ them as well -not all,though.

  • During the Projekt Revolution tour in Fort Worth, TX (2-17-02), during the song 'It's Goin Down' someone threw a small fire cracker into the moshpit. Obviously a stupid and dangerous thing to do, Linkin Park had to stop the show and reprimand the individual. Mike cursed more then he ever had done in a live show before.

  • On the last date of Linkin Park's European tour, Linkin Park played a prank on the Deftones by replacing their water with vodka. This is quite amusing and can be viewed on the Frat Party at the Pankake Festival Dvd.

  • At the Smokeout Festival 2002 (I believe), Joe Hahn joined Pharoahe Monch, on the main stage, for a short set.

  • Projekt Revolution 2003 highlights - Xzibit joined Linkin Park onstage for "Nobody's Listening" and even added his own little rap into it. There was also a guy break dancing during the song. Also at about the Tucson, Az show Joe and Brad began trading places - Joe would take over Brad's guitar while Brad went to the turntables. They also played A.06.

  • D12 and Eminem showed up at the the Projekt Revolution 2002 tour date in Detroit. They rapped a little and later came out to help with "One Step Closer".

     
  • Lp's set for the Summer Sanitarium Tour (2003) consisted of the Meteora artwork (by Delta, Lp) as a background. There were also big screens above the stage that showed parts of their videos during songs as well as closeups of the band, themselves. There were also stairs leading to a high rise in the center/back of the stage.
