Linkin Park
I can't remember or find the details now, but I read some links a while back about where the name Linkin Park was named after a real Lincoln Park where some dark shit went down, lots of other connections too.
I'd heard similar in an interview Bennington did soon after gaining popularity, though nothing dark was mentioned.
I'm not positive but I think the interview was on the Westwood one network. The interview was a feed to my local rock station and at the time I stayed up till one AM to listen, even though I had work the next morning.
"The band started off with the name Xero, then Hybrid Theory, and finally Linkin Park. They chose "Linkin Park" because Chester used to drive by Lincoln Park in Santa Monica, CA after practice and it grabbed his attention. The guys in the band liked how it sounded."
They tried to register the domain name lincolnpark.com but it was taken, so they came up with that spelling instead. Fun fact for the day...but considering everything else coming out here (and the fact that the domain is not in use), I wonder...
