Linkin Park's Old Band Computer

2020-08-08

#HybridTheory20 celebration has already started from what we can see on LP's website. It takes us back to, well, the year of 2000! That's right, they have invented a time machine, well sort of ha!

Head out to linkinpark.com and check for yourself, it has been couple of days now so here's a quick wrap up of things that you might have missed:

"READ THIS BEFORE YOU DELETE ANYTHING

Hey here's some more info on what I need your help with on this thing.

I just booted it up for the first time in like 20 years and it's a mess. I'm having a hard time locating the files we need for that thing I told you about, can you help me dig through it and find anything we could use?

Places to start:

1. I tried getting this thing to connect to my old server but no luck, maybe you can figure it out.

2. I think my old email account is still set up on this, maybe a few of them are in there?

3. I have no idea what the passwords are for most of this stuff, I'll keep digging on my end but there's a chance they might just be gone.

GOOD LUCK, YOU'LL NEED IT -m"

New LPU email has been sent:

"LP Street Soldiers,

This year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of HYBRID THEORY. We have some very special things planned throughout the year and want you to be a part of it.

We’re looking for photos, videos, ticket stubs, merch, flyers, souvenirs and anything else you collected from the early days of the band in the late 90’s through the HYBRID THEORY era of 2000-2002. Some great examples include (but are not limited to) live concert footage and photos, pictures of band members and signed goodies from LPU meet and greets.

All you have to do is click here and you will be taken to an upload site and asked to grant rights to Warner Records to use the content.
Please upload by March 16, 2020.
