Surprisingly, not many people who have heard Link Park’s music realise that the music is centred around depression and the struggles that come with it. However, for me, while I always preferred the heavier side – it was lyrics that connected me to the band. This angered most Linkin Park fans because they believe that Linkin Park should always be the hard hitting heavy band that they were in the beginning. Throughout the years and numerous albums they moved style towards alternative pop music. Linkin Park is an alternative band that originally started as a mix of rap and rock/metal. I still have this guitar and love it to this day. Mine was a special edition SE Custom 24 fret with Bird Inlays. My guitar was the same brand as the lead guitarist of Linkin Park, a PRS. In fact, Linkin Park is the only reason I owned a guitar. I’m such a massive Linkin Park fan that I learnt every song from Hybrid Theory to Minutes to Midnight on guitar. Although this was the best day of my life, the anticipation for this day started all the way back in May of the same year.įor those of you who don’t know, I am a massive Linkin Park fan and have been since I was 13. The best day of my life was August 11th, 2012. However, as I got older and less (or more?) of a cynic I started to realise that it’s more of a reason to look forward because the next “best day of your life” could be around the corner. Living in one moment of life just continuing to hope that one day life will match that high you had for 12 hours, but it never does. I always thought the idea of having “a best day” as being a bit of a cliche and sad.

They were the best days of my life
