I don't remember the whole playlist but I remember them playing new stuff that ended up coming out shortly after on Meteora and the one song that stuck out clear as a bell was "Somewhere I Belong". I was friggen floored.

That's the first concert I really remember attending, or at least that I remember clear moments from. And that's the moment that stands out from all the rest. We were in the pit and that song just blew everyone away. They played Faint later (also from Meteora and hadn't been released yet) and the roof came off that place. Just incredible energy.

I'll always have a soft spot for Linkin Park even if they pretty much had wrapped up their run by now. And while I respect the hell out of Chester's talent - surely this seemed all but inevitable to people that have ever read about him or listened to his interviews. That man was broken individual and truth be told, fought his demons off longer than I thought he would.

It's a bummer but it's one of those things where I'm more selfishly disappointed than anything. Chester hasn't wanted to be here for a very long time...

Give them credit for progressing from one style to another from each album release when they could have ****ed that angsty nu-metal sound from Hybrid Theory to death a la Nickelback.

I truly can't say I understand mental illnesses and for that I'm probably pretty fortunate. I couldn't imagine a darkness so strong that I felt the only way out was to take my life. I feel like I'd at least try to move away and start fresh long before it ever came to that.

RIP to that dude and, more importantly, I hope his family can pull through this.

Yup, found it - Linkin Park and Korn. I was more excited to see Korn, truth be told. But Linkin Park stole that show and it wasn't close.

March 18th at the Pageant, Meteora came out on March 25, so exactly a week later. Honestly, that's kinda cool. I didn't remember them being quite that close together, I just remember them playing some stuff that was awesome at that concert and by the end of the spring semester they were everywhere.

Hybrid Theory was in my cars CD player forever. I used to listen to it daily.....multiple times a day. Still one of my favorite CDs.

Looks like a spot just opened up for STPs new lead singer.

Bought tickets to Papa Roach, due to Hed PE and Linkin Park being the opening acts (I hated Papa Roach). Hed PE killed it and Linkin Park no-showed due to blowing up (this was immediately after Hybrid Theory release). I was not thrilled, but understood; I wouldn't open for f'ing Papa Roach either.

He left STP in 2015.

I was at that same show! Fell right during spring break at Mizzou so I shot to STL for that before heading back to KC. Actually saw a handful of good shows at the pageant. Back in late 90's and early 00's, not many bands out-performed Korn's live show/energy...but LP wrecked that night.

Is there a list somewhere that is giving you such intensely personal information about millions of people?

He should have been taking Prozac or Xanax. Those prescribed miracles that cure "depression" for 50,000,000+ US citizens really do the trick. Whew! If he only knew where to get drugs.
