Linkin Park Re-signs With Warners Music

[DudeAsInCool]

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27 - Less than eight months after issuing a stinging, public vote of no-confidence in its record company, Warner Music Group, the multiplatinum rap-rock act Linkin Park has signed a lucrative new pact with the recording giant. The six-member Los Angeles band and its management company, the Firm, last week reached a deal with Warner calling for an estimated $15 million advance for the group's next album, executives involved in the contract negotiations said. The pact provides the company's Warner Brothers Records unit with an option for up to five more albums from the band, one more than had been called for in their original deal.

You mean you were all hoping the resigned.

You were all hoping they wouldn't be doing a 50 cent/Linkin Park mash up.

You were hoping they were going back to the suburbs, never to return.

But they've become so numb, they can't feel you there.

wow EC lol

yeah im a Linkin Park fan, and im glad they finally negotiated.

Hey... linkin park was one of the last CD's I purchased... as a gift for my brother... which he left behind... which I then assumed ownership of.

But the whole linkin park/jay z was too much... or not enough... meh, poop.

I like them because they are like Rage Against the Machine or Downset.... if they drank diet coke.

Interesting comparisons, EC.

Which album did you give to your brother? If it was the second studio album, I can understand. I enjoy most of their stuff, though I am a bigger fan of RATM and do enjoy Downset's first album, which was the same one I saw them on tour for. I don't really care what LP does as far as labels, just don't let their next album suck.
