BENNINGTON: ‘LINKIN PARK WERE SPURRED ON BY REJECTION’
LINKIN PARK frontman CHESTER BENNINGTON was determined not give up on the band - even when they were rejected by record labels over 50 times.
The singer lead the group - then known as Hybrid Theory - into numerous showcase gigs for label executives and were turned every time.
The rockers were eventually signed to the Warner Brothers label in 2000 and Bennington, 31, insists he is glad he didn’t give up on his musical dream.
He says, "We played over 50 showcases for label guys and we got turned down multiple times. It was tough.
"I was f**king miserable. The only thing keeping me going was knowing that we had something special going on. I knew this was the one." (LR/RWK/) WENN - FIFTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 23 JANUARY 2008
