It's been 20 years since
Linkin Park released its landmark sophomore album,
Meteora (
Warner Bros./
Machine Shop). To commemorate its impact, Warner will release a new edition on Friday (4/7). Exhibit space
Beyond the Streets L.A. and local radio personality
Stryker will host an associated livestream Q&A on Monday (4/10) with band members
Mike Shinoda,
Dave “Phoenix” Farrell and
Joe Hahn.
Meteora landed at #1, selling more than 810k copies its first week. Singles included "Somewhere I Belong," "Faint," "Numb," "From the Inside" and "Breaking the Habit." To date, it has sold more than 16m copies worldwide, making it one of the Top 10 bestselling albums of the 21st century. It was certified septuple platinum by the
RIAA in August 2017.
Linkin Park went on to release five more albums, culminating in
One More Light, which arrived in May 2017. Singer
Chester Bennnington died by suicide
roughly two months later.
The Q&A with Shinoda, Farrell and Hahn will stream globally
here via
Facebook,
YouTube and
Twitch. For those able to attend in person, Beyond the Streets L.A. is located at 434 N. La Brea Ave. We'll be the ones getting hauled off by security.
