* Bobby Benish Benefit Concert Cancelled: Due to unavoidable time constraints of recording the next Linkin Park album, Chester Bennington was forced to postpone the Bobby Benish Benefit concert. The show was originally scheduled for Saturday, September 7 at the Dodge Theatre. Tickets can be refunded at point of purchase. �It�s very unfortunate that we are having to postpone this concert, but our management has pulled everyone back from vacations or other various activities in order to meet our recording obligations. However, I will continue to help Bobby and his family during this difficult time. I�d also like to thank the fans in Phoenix that were willing to support me in this endeavor." commented Chester Bennington.
* With The VMA's fastly approaching and Linkin Park's video for 'In The End' up for three moonmen, the last thing you would expect is criticism over the video. The point of criticism is a whale flying through a desert during many scenes of the video. "It's not like I pulled it out of my ass," Hahn said in his defense. "It made sense to me."

* 'REANIMATION' is almost here. Finally after months of waiting LP fans can finally pick up the long-awaited remix album on July 30th in the US (July 29th internationally). So hit your local record store to pick up a copy, and don't forget members of LPU to wear your tees so you'll be recognized.
* It's become apparent that Linkin Park really dug from their own personal musical tastes to create 'REANIMATION'. Instead of using well-known artists to help in remixing their 8 times platnium debut "Hybrid Theory' they decided to use more underground talent. "We really wanted to reach out to the people we actually listen to, instead of reaching out to the obvious flavors of the month," according to Joe Hahn. For more on this story click here

* Rolling Stone magazine recently has done a review for Linkin Park's upcoming "REANIMATION". The review may not be an LP fan's cup of tea and neither are many of the readers comments; but critics have criticized and complained far more than in this album review. Though it seems the critic needs to stop basing and compairing the entire album on one mainstream song, "In The End",and focus more on the content of the new album by itself. All in all "REANIMATION" has earned 3 stars by Rolling Stone compared to it's predecessor, "Hybrid Theory", which only had earned a 2.5 from the magazine back in 2000. Well if they were wrong once, maybe they're opinions will be wrong again, but we'll have to wait until July 30th to find out. If you want to read the full review than click here.
