I remember hearing In The End back in 2000/2001 thinking.... THAT song is awesome.
But as with everything else, when you're only 10 years old, you can't have anything you want - so I kind of let it go back then.
Then about the time Meteora dropped I finally got myself a TV, and I remember the Somewhere I Belong video being on some music program kinda often. I liked the video with all the fire and giant creatures etc. I guess that was what got me into LP.
About that time I also got an MP3 player, and I remember loading it with Meteora and a lot of HT songs also, I was STOKED
