News about Chester Bennington

When I heard about Liam's death, memories of the people I knew from my time as an MTV video jockey in the 90s spun through my mind. I'd seen plenty of guys go from being stinky string-pluckers playing in bars to overnight global sensations who made grown men cry. I thought of Kurt Cobain, Scott Weiland, Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Michael Jackson , and, the sweetest of them all to me, Shannon Hoon.

Mike Shinoda has never been to Meteora, the site of stunning rock formations in central Greece dating back 60 million years. However, he discovered those otherworldly terrestrial forms on tour with his band Linkin Park in the early 2000s. “We saw the photograph of the area, and it seemed to be from another planet,” he told MTV News recently. It was so bizarre and new." He may have felt the same at the time. Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park's debut in 2000, became the best-selling album of the year, bringing the California six-piece rap-rock band to international prominence. It eventually became a platinum award-winning vehicle. "If it was today, imagine one minute you're making protests in your parents' house, and the next minute, you've produced an album that's bigger than [Justin] Bieber, Drake, Halsey, and Post Malone," he said. Shinoda was determined to make a good sequel, but the pressure was on to produce a good sequel.

It's been a long lookout for the elusive "bop" to find. Playlists and streaming-service recommendations can only do so much.

This weekly collection does not discriminate by gender and can include almost anything; it's a glimpse at what's on our minds and what sounds good. With the new music, we'll keep it fresh, but we'll still get a few oldies (but goodies) every once in a while. Prepare: The Bop Shop is now open for business.
