LINKIN PARK Drummer: We Are Not Afraid Of Our Fans

December 14, 2004

Despite frightening events like the shooting of DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott last week, LINKIN PARK drummer Rob Bourdon told Launch Radio Networks that his band is comfortable with meeting their fans up close. "For the most part, our fans are really respectful," he said. "From the very beginning, we've always been very approachable and we used to sell our own merch and that's how we kind of started to have that contact with the fans. We'd sit there and just talk with them and hang out after every show we played, and we had an open relationship which continued to evolve. And I think because of that, it hasn't caused any fans to wanna do crazy things or feel like they have to really get by a bunch of security or do something crazy to meet us."

More than 1,000 fans showed up on Thursday (Dec. 9) for a book signing session by LINKIN PARK at a Best Buy store in the small northern California town of Dublin. The group's 144-page "From the Inside: Linkin Park's Meteora" contains photographs and handwritten notes that document the band's two-year "Meteora" world tour.
