Being left handed doesnt mean you play guitar left handed.

I know a few people who are left handed but play drums right or guitar or whatever there fancy was.

no comment about the first part
but Chester also use his left hand to sign stuff

[Dr.Biggy]

One Simple Reason to play guitar right handed if you're a lefty is that left-handed-guitars are more expansive than "normal" ones, unless you use your guitar the wrong way round, like Hendrix did

I have a few interesting facts!

1. The band offered free tickets for soldiers and families of soldiers participating in March-April war in Iraq on the Projekt Revolution tour in 2003.
"We need to give something to people who make personal sacrifices for our country. It is therefore postponed tickets in every city we play in so far as to invite military personnel and their families to be able to see our shows for free. Our hope is that in these difficult and challenging times, these guys could find some fun and games "- Brad Delson

2. At the song P5hng Me A*wy from the album Reanimation around 0:42 - 1:00, after turning the sound, Mike sings:
"Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left, then watch it all unwind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown, Eventually break down "x2

3. On the Esaul video, which is on DVD Frat Party At The Pankake Festival, Chester does not have flames tattooed on his hands.

4. Team members agree that, peer2peer network and the Internet as a whole made ​​a significant contribution to the initial popularity of Linkin Park. Because they enabled access to music by a band much wider audience and to do so in an accessible to all interested parties a way.

5. Song No More Sorrow from the album Minutes to Midnight contains part of the original guitar track recorded at The Little Things Give You Away from the same disc. This amendment was proposed by album producer Rick Rubin during the recording disc.

6. Nobody's Listening was the last song recorded for the album Meteora (Street Team members receive promotional discs without this piece.) It was already completed during the mixing entirely in the studio. Then Chester, due to the earlier illness, was then forced to play his vocals.

7. The song "Standing in the Middle", featuring Motion Man (with CD LPU 4.0), was recorded in 2001 as a preparation for the song "Enth E Nd" from the album Reanimation.

8. In the track "The Messenger' for the first time in Linkin Park discography, the band used the word "Love".

I hope that there were no replays: D

Thanks!

[TripleXero]

I don't understand the P5hng Me A*wy fact? And was there A Place For My Head demo that talked about cleaning rooms or something?

[Dexter]

I have a few interesting facts!

Wait, I thought Hit the Floor was the last one in, I read it here in another fact, lol.

[Ginger]

The Xero tape is worth over $1000?

Sorry But these arnt entirely facts if there not entirely true

5. The guitar part for no more sorrow wasnt actually a part of the TLTGYA song at all. Rick Ruban actually said to Brad that he thinks he should use the Ebow on the solo for TLTGYA. Brad didnt feel like it worked so then went and worked on a song Ebow Idea, that later turned into what we now know as NMS.

8. Thats incorrect. Points of Authority is the first song that love was used on. Chester actually said The Messenger in an interview but was incorrect.

Hope that clears up things a little.

Heres a few of my own.

- Mike is known to own more guitars then Brad.
- Brad Delson's Red Custom 24 Paul Reed Smith is one of the only ones ever made without the PRS logo on the headstock.
- Due to Licensing restrictions. Wisdom Justice and Love can no longer be distributed though Linkin Park's DSP's.
- All of the footage shown on the screens behind the band during the Live Performance have been made by a company called 'Ghost Town Media'.
- It is known that the band loves their video games. Halo is one of their favourites.
- Brad Delson is the only member on stage that doesnt use the In Ear Monitoring system. Instead he wears heavy duty headphones to protect his really sensitive hearing.
- Linkin Park have contributed music to so far all three of the Transformer movies. One song which was made JUST FOR THE MOVIE!

You are also wrong, Points of Authority was "You love the way I look at you"

[Pez]

I was actually in the process of editing that exact thing, but then I decided to add a few facts myself. Thats why I took so long correcting myself. haha. Thanks anyway.
