Linkin Park was/is a contrived band assembled by a studio that was originally going to be a backstreet boys clone - confirm/deny?

Deny. I've heard stuff like this, but it doesn't pan out if you look into how they came up.


Also, Shinoda's response on Fort Minor's "Get me Gone"

The dude, he said that, like, when we were making the first Linkin Park record
He was like,
"Yeah you know, I don't know about the rapping like, I don't know... maybe you should just be a rock band."
You know what I mean, like, trying to change us
like they signed us as an act like what we sound like and then he's like
"Oh I don't know maybe you should just play keyboard"

Before the first song that you heard me on
There were people already tryin' to get me gone
Tellin' me to quit rapping
"Just play the keys"
That my band had a singer
They didn't need me
But my band had my back
So we did the tracks
Put out the album and the talk went flat
It was funny at first but then the humour faded
When some magazines printed that our label made us
We were to be good to be true
Some were saying ghost writers were writin' all that we do
So we had to disprove it
We spelled it out to the detail how we do it when we're making this music
After that I made it a rule
I only do e-mail responses to print interviews
Because these people love to put a twist to your words
To infer that you said something [censored] absurd.

PS- Why the [censored] is he singing on this new CD? I don't even know what to think if they play these songs in concert, I might fall asleep. I like Linkin Park for gym music, this is like falling asleep music on some songs.

My gf walked into the room and asked who it was playing, when I said LP, she said "Did they grow vaginas since the last CD?"
