    • A History of Chester Bennington’s Side Projects

    Chester Bennington had a long career in the music industry and became a treasured rock icon before his death Thursday (July 20) of an apparent suicide. Though the singer will largely be remembered for his work in Linkin Park, he also ventured into a great deal of smaller bands and side projects throughout his career, and even had a stint as the frontman for Stone Temple Pilots.

    Take a look at all of Bennington’s musical projects from throughout his career below:

    Sean Dowdell and His Friends?

    Long before Bennington’s major-label signing and debut in Linkin Park, the musician played in a variety of ground-level bands. Bennington’s first gig was singing with the band Sean Dowdell and His Friends?, a short-lived project that released a three-track cassette back in 1993.

    Grey Daze

    Following Bennington’s work in Sean Dowdell and His Friends?, he and Downdell went on to form the grunge band Grey Daze and released a series of albums throughout the ’90s, including Demo, Wake/Me and No Sun Today.

    Linkin Park

    Bennginton left Grey Daze in 1998, eventually finding himself with an audition to be the lead singer of what became Linkin Park. The rest is history, as the band would become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 21st century.

    Dead by Sunrise

    Amidst the success of Linkin Park, Bennington also began working on material for the side project Dead by Sunrise. Though songs like “Morning After” were written in 2001, further material for the project came into fruition during 2005 when the singer was writing for Linkin Park’s third album Minutes to Midnight, inspiring an entirely new project. Though not as massive as Bennington’s primary band, Dead by Sunrise’s “Crawl Back In” hit the Mainstream Rock chart and released music up until 2009.

    • Hybrid Theory

    2000 studio album by Linkin Park

    This article is about the album. For the theory of hybridism, see Hybrid (biology).

    Hybrid Theory is the debut studio album by American rock band Linkin Park, released on October 24, 2000, by Warner Bros. Records. Recorded at NRG Recordings in North Hollywood, California, and produced by Don Gilmore, the album's lyrical themes deal with problems lead vocalist Chester Bennington experienced during his adolescence, including drug abuse and the constant fighting and eventual divorce of his parents. Hybrid Theory takes its title from the previous name of the band as well as the concepts of music theory and combining different styles. It is also the band's only album in which bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell does not play, however, he is credited as a member of the band as well as a songwriter on some of its tracks.

    Four singles were released from Hybrid Theory: "One Step Closer", "In the End", "Crawling" and "Papercut", all of them being responsible for launching Linkin Park into mainstream popularity. While "In the End" was the most successful of the four, all of the singles in the album remain some of the band's most successful songs to date. Although "Runaway", "Points of Authority", and "My December" from the special edition bonus disc album were not released as singles, they were minor hits on alternative rock radio stations thanks to the success of all of the band's singles and the album.

    Generally receiving positive reviews from critics upon its release, Hybrid Theory became a strong commercial success. Peaking at number two on the US Billboard 200, it is certified 12× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also reached the top 10 in 15 other countries and has sold 32 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling debut album since Guns N' Roses's Appetite for Destruction (1987). At the 44th Grammy Awards, it won Best Hard Rock Performance for "
