People, entertainment, Comics & Movie Reviews Linkin Park rocks The Pageant Band delivers solid performance in rare club appearance

J e r e m y H o u s e w r ig h t

L if e s t y l e E d it o r

At times when good rock music is hard to come by, no one seems to be doing it better than Linkin Park. The group visited The Pageant in St. Louis Tuesday in support of its new album “Meteora”, which will hit stores Tuesday, March 25. The band will be trying to duplicate the success of its first album “Hybrid Theory”, which topped the music industry in 2001 with over nine million sold. If the fan turnout for the performance Tuesday evening was any indication, the album is sure to be a chart-topper. The concert at The Pageant Tuesday evening was one of only 11 small venue appearances by the band. Linkin Park has gotten so big, so fast it can rarely play in an intimate setting anymore. Lead singer Chester Bennington told the sold-out crowd of 2,000 he loved playing small venues because he could see the faces of fans. He also mentioned how he felt about the band’s success. “It just keeps getting bigger,” Bennington told the crowd. “It just won’t stop growing.” The crowd, consisting of many fan club members, seemed to take every word he and guitarist/singer Mike Shinoda said to heart. The members of the band’s fan club got first crack at tickets when they were released just two weeks ago. The band took the stage at 9 p.m. to fans chanting its name. The crowd was at times so loud it was hard to hear Bennington’s vocals. Linkin Park played five songs off its upcoming album, including the new single Band members Mike Shinoda, left, and Chester Bennington, right, perform at “Somewhere I Belong.” the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year. In addition to the new material, the band performed such hits as “Papercut”, “Points of Authority” and “Crawling.” After walking offstage at the end of its 65-minute set, the band returned for a 10- minute encore performance of a new track and its biggest hit, “One Step Closer.” As the show ended, the band members shook hands with fans near the stage and tossed drum sticks and water bottles into the crowd, which had stood for nearly three hours jammed into the hot concert floor of The Pageant. Bennington thanked the fans for making Linkin Park one of the most popular bands in the past two years. “You guys are why we exist,” Bennington said. We wouldn’t be here without our fans, everybody in here is the sh*t.” While some rock fans wish the rap-metal genre would just fade away, Linkin Park and the band’s fans refuse to let it die.

I mean, I was all ready to go and everything, but then ... my iguana puked.” 1 Another poor excuse is, “I had to miss class because my cat was having kittens, and one was a breech birth.” The all-time worst excuse might just be, “My dog ate my homework.” SIUE professor Franklin Akers almost had that happen to him once. “I was at home grading papers for Mass Communications 202.
