Billboard carries the news that Linkin Park have been listening to the likes of Pink Floyd, ELP and King Crimson as reference points in the making of their new album. Producer Rick Rubin has been giving the alt metalers some homework by way of preparation. Check out the full story.
My thanks for this heads up goes to my Linkin Park fan son, Tom. He comments "Does that mean I'll have to listen to King Crimson seriously now, dad?"
He usually rolls his eyes and acts as though he's been mortally wounded whenever he hears KC's melliflous tones emanating from the yellow room. I told him his old dad was hip but he never used to believe me. Thanks to Linkin Park for the smidgen of cred!
