LINKIN PARK Join METALLICA As Co-Headliners Of Japan's SUMMER SONIC Festival - Mar. 7, 2006
LINKIN PARK have joined METALLICA as the co-headliners of Japan's Summer Sonic festival, set to be held August 12 and August 13 in Tokyo and Osaka, respectively. Also scheduled to appear are AVENGED SEVENFOLD, STONE SOUR, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and 10 YEARS, among others.

For more information, visit www.summersonic.com.

LINKIN PARK announced last month that the band will record their third studio album with Rick Rubin, the world-famous producer known for his work with SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT and the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, among many others.

LINKIN PARK are currently writing and demoing material for their new effort, the band's first full-length studio project since 2003's "Meteora".

Mike Shinoda is currently on the road with his side hip-hop project, FORT MINOR.

Although Chester Bennington had announced plans earlier this year to work on his first solo album, the vocalist told MTV.com that he has delayed that project until 2007 or later to work on the new LINKIN PARK disc.

Co-headliners? Linkin Park are no near the level of Metallica.

...and to all you bashers, this wasn't Metallica's decision.

Hopefully, their time has passed. I had the misfortune of sitting through their whiggerish shenanigans at a festival a few years back. All they were good for was boosting the beer sales for those of us that needed some relief. Total posers.

Yeah just like it wasnt Metallica's decision to take all those nu-metal bands on tour with them a few years back, and just like it wasnt their decision to have all those MTV darlings cover their songs on that whatever the hell tribute show MTV did for Metallica, get over it dude...aand you may want to come with something more then "this want Metallica's decision"

I have never been a fan of METALLICA or there music. But they are really becoming the new front runner up's for becoming nu metal injection.
METALLICA love nu metal bands and rap for god sake. They were good 15 years ago but now they can be in the same genre as nu metal.

Metallica are definitely back in form with St. Anger. I thought they lost it with the loads, but they came back with St. Anger, that album is the definitive metal album of this millenium.

metallica has to be the biggest bunch of idiots in metal today. They've been making bad decisions for over 15 yrs. It's to late for them to ever come back. Stanger was the nail that did it. Well actually you can tell on the black album that they become pussyfied and lose sight of what they really set out to do when they first formed. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ does strange things. Besides, metallica is quite boring to listen to on a technical note. So many bands right now blow them out of the fucking water. Die Lars. Get back in ST Rob.

Think about it peopel. If Linkin Park goes with them then there will be more money more people there and they are more then likely going to walk away with mroe fans at the end of the night. I mean come on how many of you have listend to a band then seen them play with another band and thought hey I like them as well. There is more to the story then what all you read on line your not in the band members head. There could be many of reasons for them to even have Linkin Park play with them. But my money is on that they are trying to take some LP fans for there own. And you know as well as I do that they will......
