| Hello Hello. The Projekt Revolution Tour started like....... 2 weeks ago I think. Anyways, I forgot to update it. Oh well. I got Frat Party at the Pankake Festival. Kick ass dvd. 10 out of 10. I'll post more later. | | |
| Hey wats up fans? Nothing new from LP. but heres something to read. A song meaning from a fan. The song is Numb. Here it is.
This is about children who is sick of living up to the high expectations their parents set for them.
The lyric "Every step that I take is another mistake to you" is about how they feel like they can't do anything to make their parents proud.
"Can't you see that you're smothering me holding too tightly afraid to lose control cause everything that you thought I would be has fallen apart right in front of you" refers to a kid needing a release from his parents' disappointment that he isn't a perfect child.
"All I want to do is be more like me and be less like you" says that the kid wants to be his own person and not have his parents mold him anymore.
"But i know I may end up failing too but I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you" expresses the thoughts that parents need to realize what it was like to be a kid.

| Hey music lovers....... Their isnt any news about Linkin Park rite now. So check back when the projekt revolution starts. It starts on July 23. Tickets are available. I think they are 10 bucks a piece I believe.
Today's is also information. This time its Joe Hahn. He is the DJ of the group. I think thats all he does. Anyways......
Joe's birthdate is 3/15/77
Joe is from Glendale, CA but lives in LA now.
Joe has a split personality called Remy (For those who are slow - this was a joke. He doesn't *really* have a split personality, it's all in good fun. Joe now denies it completely though - he's lying, lol).
Joe or "Remy" talks in the beginning of "Cure for the Itch"
"Mr Hahn" constantly invents things in conversations with new fans who don't know lp very well and will make up things about them that are totally untrue. "So beware" -Brad (He'll make up stuff when talking to old fans as well so don't take everything he says to heart)
Joe gets bored very easily & has a dry sense of humor, so don't get upset if he seems uninterested or he's not receptive to you (the fans). He doesn't really mean it in a bad way. (ie/ leaving the LPU meet and greet table and walking down the line signing people's stuff so he can leave faster)
Joe came up with the concept for the "One Step Closer" video. He also was involved in the directing of every other linkin park video. He's the official video guy for the band.
Joe and Nathan Cox co-directed Static X's video for "Cold".
Joe was into visual arts in high school and also pursued it after.
Joe and Chester both agree the Foo Fighters' "Everlong" is quite possibly one the best songs ever.
Mike (and then Rob,Brad,etc) met Joe in college since Joe went to the Pasadena arts school/college too.
Joe and Mike both majored in illustration. They were both interested in painting and Joe stayed at the college for a year then he got into motion pictures. He worked on Sphere and Phantoms. He worked on monsters in movies.
Joe was born in America, but his parents are Korean which makes him Korean.
Joe says that the valkyrie fighter in robotech is the cartoon character that represents him best because he's so streamlined and cool.
Joe does NOT like NSUCK. (He said it as a joke-see i told you he lies, lol)
Joe did track in high school. | | |
| Ok... I got the wallpaper thing going, everything is going pretty good. Lets hope the my image hosting thingy doesnt like shut off or anything, cause that will really suck. Because I just spent like almost and hour trying to get this image on. I might change it later on though. So yea.

Those are all the tour dates. The Projekt Revolution Tour includes the following artists:
Linkin Park
The Used
KoRn
Less Than Jake
Snoop Dogg
Those are the main bands/people. Their will also be stuff like opening acts and stuff like that. Maybe they will have local bands, local rappers, etc.
I'm going to be posting up information, quotes, etc. of things that Linkin Park uses on tours and stuff like that. Im also probably put like funny pics of the band and stuff like that. Todays is information, and its on Brad Delson. Brad is the guitarist by the way.
'Brad' stands for Bradford.
Brad's birthdate is 12/1/77
Brad is Jewish.
Brad went to Agoura high school.
Brad is from Agoura,CA, but lives in the LA area now.
Brad graduated from UCLA w/ a Bachelor's Degree in Communications. He didn't go onto law school so he could pursue his career in the band.
Brad is not upset about choosing the band over law school because he'd be studying right now instead of playing in a successful band.
Brad and Phoenix were room-mates in college.
Brad calls himself "BIG BAD BRAD" or BBB, that's how he signs his name (BBB)
Brad likes MTV, in particular, The Real World (i hope this is a joke, lol).
Brad is a fan of Britney Spears and the rest of the band is embarrassed of him. (Since some people are dumb, I must clerify this...its most likely that he doesn't like her music as he would never ever want to collaborate with her..he's simply attracted to her like millions of other guys.)
Brad's first instrument was the trumpet.
Brad's first band was the Pricks in 1994
(...which i believe some other members of linkin park or taproot were in..i forgot.)
Brad was also in a band with Rob. It was rock meets rap and funk, they were called 'Relative Degree'. They practiced a lot, played a show then it fell apart.
Brad's defining moment, early in his career, was losing his pants at an industry showcase.
Brad's greatest obsession is sleeping.
Brad would never part w/ his toothbrush.
Brad can't imagine being on the road without all 16 personalities in the band.
Brad didn't want to go to Hooters to celebrate the success of the album because he was a good (innocent) guy who never really did things like that; he suggested bowling; but eventually went with the guys to hooters.
According to Brad,the strangest thing a fan has ever requested was linkin park's pubic hair. Fans in the UK actually brought tape to put it on. He previously said that the strangest request he ever got from a fan was to sign body parts that shouldn't be signed (ie. boobs, which they don't sign anymore,lol).
Every Christmas (or almost every xmas) Brad and his family hold a dinner in an auditorium for the homeless & Mike likes to help out.
Brad had a mullet (in high school/college?) because he was into thrash metal like Guns n roses and Metallica..and the other long hair bands. He tried to grow his hair long but his hair grew out rather then down ..so he tried straightening it w/ a hair dryer which didn't work so he them tried to straighten it w/ chemicals and "it died"...basically his hair didn't look like it was supposed to, it was a mullet instead :)
Brad used to color his hair different colors (ie./ purple) in high school.
Brad was voted Most Unique in his highschool yearbook (see pics pg).
Brad's career highlight so far was hearing "one step closer" on KROQ in LA.
The first time Brad heard 'One Step Closer' on the radio, it wasn't the full song, it was a clip of the song on a radio spot, and linkin park were all in the van together.
Brad got his 1st guitar in (probably) 6th grade.
Brad does a lot of things in his playing that he does to try and define his own sound, one of which is using harmonics. He likes to use harmonics because oftentimes they don't even sound like traditional guitar playing. "With the right effects and the right performance harmonics on, a guitar can sound like a keyboard, or strings, and more rooted in an approach that works well with the hip-hop and electronic influences in our songs."-brad
Brad uses:
Guitars: Paul Reed Smith Standard, Ibanez RB 7-string
Amps: Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, Marshall cabinets
Strings: D'Addario 10-gauge.
For More in depth info on all of Brad's equipment
and playing, go [to the LP Gear] pg.
When Brad has 2 hrs off (from lp stuff) then he tries to find a movie theatre and see whatever he can.
The latest record that Brad bought as of OCT 2000 was Incubus's new record.
In JAN 2001 he was listening to Taproot's 'Gift' and The Roots's 'Illadelph Halflife' a lot.
1st album that made an impression on Brad was Duran Duran's.
Brad's favorite album is Sunny Day Real Estate "Diary."
Brad's musical role model is Chester :)
Brad's guitar heroes are: Dave Matthews, (Brad doesn't go for his tone but his musicality, his playing is ingenious), Stef from the Deftones, Sunny Day Real Estate and other non-guitar driven stuff. Brad prefers to listen to non-metal stuff like Dido rather then rock this way he can draw from a lot of sources and make something special.
If he was anyone on tv he'd be someone of Seinfeld 'cos he's got such a dorky sense of humour.
Brad used to see Incubus play when he "was like in 9th grade at The Whisky" a lot. Rob also actually went to highschool w/ incubus.
Although Brad will NEVER reveal the real reason he wears his headphones on stage he did say this in a shoutweb interview: "I will say that it has something to do with the matrix. Not the movie, the actual matrix and being connected with it. Mr. Hahn has been rubbing off on me. I'm starting to integrate sci-fi humor into my schtick. It probably isn't too popular with a mass audience." LOL, "But I won't give him credit for the headphones. That's all mine."
Brad has a reputation for being pretty anti-social.
Brad played the Family Values Tour 2001 w/ a broken foot. He broke it while filming the video for "In The End" in L.A. The stage set for the video had these little stairways with a ledge. Nathan Cox, who co-directed the video with Joe, wanted him to jump off this 3-5 foot thing and he couldn't land it right so the third time he did land it but he hurt his foot. Then he had to play on it the whole night for 16 hours. His foot healed but then LP played a Camden, New Jersey show and he did something to it. * I have also heard that Brad broke his foot after kicking a steel door (he was frustrated at his effects pedals) // Both of the statements were made by Brad so i don't know which is more accurate * | | |
