Linkin Park’s foundation was anchored by Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon. They was high school friends. After graduating from high school, the three friends began to take their musical interests more seriously. Joe Hahn was recruiting with Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band. That time the name´s band was Xero. In 1996 they began recording and producing songs within Shinoda’s make-shift bedroom studio. The new band failed to land a record deal. Tensions and frustration grew after this. The band's vocalist jumped out searching for other projects. Farrell also leave the band to tour with other bands.
Xero spending a considerable time searching for the vocalist replacement, the vice president of Zomba Music, Jeff blue talked about the Arizona´s vocalist Chester Bennington. Jeff had already spoken about him in 1999. Bennington impressed by his unique style of singing. This has made him stand out among the candidates for the position of vocalist. The band changed its name from Xero to Hybrid Theory. The meeting of the voices of Bennington and Shinoda was crucial to revive the band. They began working on new material. Problems with the name Hybrid Theory (another band already using that name) has made the group's name was again changed. They agreed to play on and homage to Lincoln Park and Santa Monica. Mas esse novo início não foi fácil. O Linkin Park foi rejeitado por muitas gravadoras. Para conseguir ajuda adicional, a banda turned to Jeff Blue. In 1999, Jeff Blue, as vice president of Warner Bros. signed an agreement with the band after three attempts frustrated. The debut album from, Hybrid Theory, was published the following year.
