Then, they added Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell and Chester Bennington, and changed their name to Hybrid Theory. But they still could not get a contract. So finally they were renamed Linkin Park, in 1999.

The next year, they released the album Hybrid Theory, and became famous.

In 2003, they released Meteora, and became popular world-wide. The title was inspired by "Meteora", a rocky place in Greece.

In 2006, Linkin Park began writing their third studio album, Minutes to Mignight. They released it in 2007.

Now, they have begun working on their fourth studio album, and it should be finished in 2010.

Their songs talk mostly about feelings, like love, hate, fear...
