Information about Xero (rock Band)

Xero (Zero) was the first name for the band Linkin Park, formed in 1996. It included Mark Wakefield, Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon, Joe Hahn, Brad Delson and Dave Farrell.

Band history

Xero was originally called SuperXero, but later revised their name to Xero. They made just one demo tape, which included the songs "Fuse", "Reading My Eyes", "Stick N' Move" and "Rhinestone", which didn't achieve wide recognition. After Mark Wakefield left to become the manager for Taproot the band hired new vocalist Chester Bennington, formerly of the band Grey Daze, and made the Hybrid Theory EP under the band name Hybrid Theory. The band again changed names from Hybrid Theory to Linkin Park at the release of their debut album, which is titled 'Hybrid Theory'. A slightly modified version of the cover was shown in Linkin Park's Papercut Video.

On the Linkin Park debut album Hybrid Theory, the track "Forgotten" contains most of the Xero song Rhinestone, although there is a softer section left out of the Hybrid Theory version, and "Runaway" uses the main riff of Stick N Move. During the 2006 Summer Sonic festival, Linkin Park played "Reading My Eyes" with Chester Bennington. This is notable because it is the first time the band has ever played any Xero Demo song at a live show with Chester, and it is also the first time in ten years that the band played a Xero song at all. This live track is available on Linkin Park Underground 6.0.
