Review: LINKIN PARK Rocks To The Rules During Malaysian Concert
October 16, 2003Joe Lee of Malaysia's E-Media reports that "American nu-metal band LINKIN PARK stamped its mark on Kuala Lumpur last night [October 15], when it played to the biggest concert in the city in recent years in historic Stadium Merdeka.
"The magnitude of the show was not only measured by the turnout of about 20,000 which had gathered by the late afternoon, but also by the current standing of the Southern Californian act as the toast of the genre.
"There were no untoward incidents throughout, with the police making their presence felt, not only for security reasons in view of possible protests over the band's performance here, but also to ensure the smooth flow of traffic in the city.
"When the gates opened at 6.30pm, anticipation had reached fever pitch.
"Local hip-hop outfit TOO PHAT took to the stage for the curtain raiser, and became victims of a crowd anxious for the headlining act. They were booed by several sections of the impatient audience.
"An hour later, after a 30-minute set, and another 30 minutes of fine-tuning equipment onstage, the nu-metal first pin-ups burst on with 'Don't Stay', a track off their current release, 'Meteora'.
"Performing on a minimal stage set-up with a simple blue backdrop bearing the band's name, and little else except for the occasional jungle of equipment and cables, LINKIN PARK rarely paused for a breather as they churned out the crowd pleasers non-stop." Read more.
