Ecorazzi.com that has daily green gossip. They slammed LP for the green Projekt Revolution tour for having trash everywhere after the show and how people weren’t putting correct recyclables in the right bins or possibly throwing them into regular garbage cans. Mike had the time to reply to the article and give a defense for the tour. Read more at: http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=4282

Linkin Park’s outreach project, Music for Relief, is helping Southern California recover from the devastating wildfires. The band has contributed $50,000 to Direct Relief International, a Santa Barbara nonprofit that has been providing medical supplies to victims, and the donation was matched by SanDisk Corporation, a flash-data-storage-card company.

“The wildfires are an unfathomable tragedy,” LP bassist Dave “Phoenix” Farrell said in a statement. “Being able to help victims of a natural disaster like the wildfires is exactly why Music for Relief was founded.”

The band is also encouraging fans to make their own contributions through the Music for Relief Web site - MusicForRelief.org/donate.

The powerhouse frontman touring Australia on a double bill with Linkin Park knows all about the inner workings of a band riding a giant wave of success. Chris Cornell was at the centre of the grunge tsunami in the 1990s as the voice of Soundgarden and later helped propel the crunching Audioslave. But now he prefers to go it alone.

Despite breaking his arm early in Linkin Park’s set in Melbourne, Australia (Oct. 15), Chester managed to finish the entire concert before heading to the hospital. Chester suffered the break while attempting his trademark monkey jump from high atop Linkin Park’s stage when his foot got caught in the stairs and sent him plummeting backwards, falling awkwardly on his arm.The injury, which occurred around the third or fourth song of the set, did not deter Chester from performing onwards and finishing the concert for his adorning fans, despite severe swelling and excruciating pain (which undoubtedly lent more power to his screams). Fans in attendance were aware of the injury and were highly appreciative of Chester’s perseverance and selflessness. As they say in the entertainment industry: the show must go on. Video footage about the accident, including Chester receiving first aid behind the set and performing with a limp arm in tow, is at LinkinPark.com

LP was apart of Live Earth and had a rocking performance. The CD/DVD package for Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis will be released on November 20th. It’ll also feature performances by Black Eyed Peas, the Foo Fighters, Kelly Clarkson, Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, John Mayer, and more. The perfect stocking stuffer!
