Story of Go Go doll's
The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, New York
HISTORY
[edit]Origins and early music (1986–1993)
The band's original lineup included John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (bass, vocals) and George Tutuska (drums, percussion). In the beginning, Rzeznik would not sing, due to his shyness. Takac and Tutuska had been long-time friends in school and met Rzeznik while he was playing in the band The Beaumonts with Takac's cousin.[5] The trio picked their name from aTrue Detective ad for a toy called a Goo Goo Doll.[6] "We were young and we were a garage band not trying to get a deal. We had a gig that night and needed a name. It's the best we came up with, and for some reason it stuck. If I had had five more minutes, I definitely would have picked a better name," John stated. With Takac as their lead singer, the band released their first album,Goo Goo Dolls in 1987 on Mercenary Records, but was picked up in 1988 by Celluloid Records, a larger record company. They played around Buffalo's underground music circuit opening for punk bands such as SNFU, Dag Nasty, ALL, The Dead Milkmen, Gang Green, Doughboys, and DRI and playing with fellow Buffalo bands. The band released its second album Jed in 1989.[7]
The band released its third album, Hold Me Up, in 1990 and featured Rzeznik as the lead vocalist on five tracks, including the single, "There You Are" – as well as their then concert favorite, Two Days in February. After being embraced by local college radio and punk scenes (including playing such venues as CBGB), the Goo Goo Dolls' third release incorporated elements of heavy metal,pop rock, and punk rock. In 1991, the song "I'm Awake Now" was recorded for the soundtrack of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
Superstar Car Wash, released in 1993, received significant media attention. The critical success and encouraging sales of their last album resulted in a larger budget from Metal Blade Records. The album was partially recorded in Metalworks Studio in Mississauga, Ontario. "We Are the Normal" (the single for which Rzeznik asked frontman Paul Westerberg of The Replacements to write the lyrics) received a major push toward play on college and independent radio, while its video was displayed on MTV's 120 Minutes program. "Fallin' Down" made it onto the 1993 soundtrack of Pauly Shore's hit film Son in Law.
[edit]Mainstream breakthrough and legal issues (1993–1997)
Shortly after recording the band's fifth album A Boy Named Goo, Tutuska was kicked out of the band. The band moved forward from this December 31, 1994 incident, hiring Mike Malinin in 1995, and toured rigorously.
A Boy Named Goo had a catchy rock sound, and became one of most successful alternative rock albums of the mid-1990s. It sold modestly in this time; however, it was not until the release of the single "Name" that the band experienced any viable commercial success. A Boy Named Goo became the first album in Metal Blade history to achieve double-platinum status. This success, however, proved bittersweet, as the band found themselves in a legal battle with Metal Blade records. The band filed suit against Metal Blade, claiming they had not earned any royalties from their album's sales, which was attributed to a "grossly unfair, one-sided and unenforceable contract" which had been signed by the band in 1987.[8] The two sides reached a settlement which had the band signed to the Metal Blade's distributing label, Warner Bros. Records, under which the band released their sixth album, Dizzy Up the Girl, in 1998.[9] The undisputed success of "Name" marked a fundamental change in the band's sound from alt. rock to a more mainstream adult orientated rock (AOR) direction which disappointed many of the original fans of the band. It was "Name" that had made the band popular and they were able to make a guest appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210 and even present an award to Michael Jackson.
[edit]"Iris" and superstardom (1997–2005)
Rzeznik was approached to write a song for the City of Angels soundtrack, and the end product was "Iris". This song propelled the band to stardom, as it stayed on top of Billboard Hot 100 Airplay charts for a record-breaking 18 weeks, and was nominated for three Grammys that year. According to several interviews with Rzeznik, he was experiencing serious bouts of writer's block when he was approached, and was on the verge of quitting the band days before he wrote the song.[10]
"Iris" was included on the triple-platinum Dizzy Up the Girl, and was among top-ten hits "Slide", "Black Balloon", "Broadway", and "Dizzy" from the same album. The new, softer sound garnered legions of new fans, many of whom had not followed the band before their mainstream success. Sadly most of the Goo Goo Dolls concerts feature very few pre 1995 songs, reflecting the band's more mainstream sound, further alienating their older fans. In 2001, the Goos released their first ever compilation CD, What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce. Next, Gutterflower(2002) — the last longplay in spirit of America, with dark lyrical undertones from Rzeznik's divorce — achieved gold certification, producing the hits "Here Is Gone", "Sympathy", and "Big Machine". On July 4, 2004, the band performed a free concert in their hometown of Buffalo, continuing through a deluge of rain that can be seen on the DVD released later that year. The DVD also contained a studio version of the Goo Goo Dolls' cover of "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp. The single reached the top of the Adult Top 40 chart in 2005.
April 13, 1996 and July 4, 2004 were proclaimed "Goo Goo Dolls Day" in their hometown of Buffalo, New York.[citation needed]
[edit]Let Love In (2005–2007)
In 2006, the Goo Goo Dolls marked their 20th anniversary with their new album Let Love In, which included the studio recording of "Give a Little Bit" as well as other top 10 radio singles "Better Days," "Stay With You," and "Let Love In". With their third consecutive single ("Let Love In") from the album, the Goo Goo Dolls hit a record 12 top 10 hits in Adult Top 40 history, beating Matchbox Twenty and Sheryl Crow until Matchbox Twenty's release of Exile on Mainstream and the Goo Goo Dolls' release of "Before It's Too Late" from the Transformers Soundtrack, which left both groups with 13 top 10 hits in the Adult Top 40. Goo Goo Dolls planned to release another single from Let Love In, "Without You Here", as well as a song from the July 2007 Transformers movie called "Before It's Too Late", originally titled "Fiction". To promote the new single, the Goo Goo Dolls performed "Before It's Too Late" at both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 8, 2007, and again at The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 22, 2007.[11] In July 2007 the band discussed their career as a whole and gave a live performance on A&E's Private Sessions. Rzeznik stated that after the release of "Without You Here" and their summer tour with Lifehouse and Colbie Caillat, the band would return to the studio to begin work on their next album, their ninth overall.[citation needed]
On June 27, 2007, the Goo Goo Dolls performed to a sold out crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. The performance premiered on HDNet in high–definition on Sunday, September 30. The entire concert was released as a DVD on the limited edition version of their 2008 release, Vol.2.
The Goo Goo Dolls and the NHL Buffalo Sabres came together to create a video for the Sabres 2007 playoff run. The video was a compilation of shots from the Buffalo area and Sabres players played to the song "Better Days". It was played on jumbotron and at the HSBC Arena before every playoff game.
Though not certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the album is said to have gone Gold by various music sites.[12]
The song "Better Days" was used in the trailer for the 2009 film Love Happens. It was also used in the pilot episode of the CBS TV show, Jericho and in a promo for WGRZ aired during Super Bowl XLVI.
[edit]Greatest Hits albums (2007–2008)
On November 13, 2007, the Goo Goo Dolls released a greatest hits album entitled Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles, which includes a new version of "Name" recorded and mixed by Paul David Hager, and a remix of "Feel the Silence" by Michael Brauer.[13] On August 19, 2008, a second greatest hits album was released entitled Vol.2, which includes b-sides, rarities, and a live performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre from their "Let Love In" tour.
The band performed "Better Days" and "Stay With You" at the halftime of the Detroit Lions' 2007 Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field, which focused on the United Way and the NFL's commitment to youth health and fitness.[14]
[edit]Something for the Rest of Us (2008–2011)
The Goo Goo Dolls announced recording sessions for a new album, on their official website, unrelated to their Volume Two in 2008.[15] In addition, the band performed as part of the O2 Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park in the summer of 2008,[16] at the Miller Lite Rock 'N Racing show at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during qualifying for the 2008 Allstate 400 at the BrickyardNASCAR Sprint Cup Series race,[17] as well as performing a four-show tour across England.
On June 19, 2008 at a ceremony in New York City, the band's singer and principal songwriter John Rzeznik was named that year's recipient of the Hal David Starlight Songwriter Award. Past recipients of the prestigious award include: Rob Thomas, Alicia Keys, John Mayer and John Legend.
On June 12, 2009, the band mentioned on their Facebook page that the producer for their new album was Tim Palmer.[18] On August 15, 2009, Robby Takac posted an update on his Twitter account stating that the recording for the new album had been completed, and the mixing of the album was yet to be done.[19] Then on September 18, 2009, John Rzeznik stated in an interview on Good Day L.A., that the new album had tentatively been titled Something for the Rest of Us.[20]
Something for the Rest of Us was released on August 31, 2010.[21] While the album was full of the pop-rock that has sustained the band for decades, lead singer/guitarist Rzeznik's songwriting took on a more somber, serious tone.[22]
The band performed a live mini concert at the Apple Store in Manhattan, New York on December 2, 2010. The show was recorded and was released in 2011 as a part of Apple's "Live at SoHo" collection which is sold online at the iTunes Store.[23] On January 3, 2011, the band performed the halftime show at the Orange Bowl played between the Stanford Cardinal and the Virginia Tech Hokies. On January 30, 2011, they performed before the start of the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. On February 7, 2011 they performed at the Delta Ballroom in St. John's Newfoundland, beginning their 2011 Canadian tour.
[edit]Magnetic (2011–present)
During an interview with UpVenue on February 16, 2011, Rzeznik confirmed that he was writing new material for a new album: "I've actually been experimenting, in this last week, while we've been out on this tour, just writing lyrics and then figuring out the melodic structures," said Rzeznik. "We can't wait another four years to put another album out; that's just a ridiculous waste of time."[24]
On May 23, 2011, it was announced that the band had recorded a song for the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon called "All That You Are", and was released on the film's soundtrack on June 14, 2011.
In September 2011, "Iris" reached the number three spot in the Top 40 in the UK, 13 years after its original release.
On August 9, 2012, the band announced that they had started recording their tenth studio album.[25] In a column for Japanese Rock magazine InRock, Robby Takac revealed some details about recordings sessions on the new album. The new album is scheduled for an early 2013 release on the Warner Brothers record label. The band will use a few producers like they did on Something for the Rest of Us. In August and September they had various recording sessions with John Shanks at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, LA and in October 2012 with Gregg Wattenberg(Let Love In, Real) at Quad Studios in New York City. More recording sessions were planned with Greg Wells in Los Angeles in November 2012. [26]
On January 18, 2013, the band released the first single off of their next studio album titled "Rebel Beat".[27] The album will be titled Magnetic and is scheduled to be released May 7, 2013.[4]

Go Go Doll's - Iris
And I'd give up forever to touch youCause I know that you feel me somehowYou're the closest to heaven that I'll ever beAnd I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this momentAnd all I can breathe is your lifeCause sooner or later it's overI just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see meCause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't comingOr the moment of truth in your liesWhen everything feels like the moviesYeah you bleed just to know your alive
And I don't want the world to see meCause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
I don't want the world to see meCause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I am

Sejarah Islam di Indonesia - Islam adalah salah satu agama yang memiliki jumlah pengikut terbanyak di dunia. Menurut sumber informasi dari Wikipedia menyebutkan bahwa saat ini pengikut agama Islam telah mencapai lebih dari 1,25 miliar orang yang tersebar di berbagai negara di seluruh dunia.
Sejarah Islam sendiri dimulai semenjak diturunkannya wahyu Allah kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW yang pertama pada tahun 622 di Gua Hira, yaitu tepatnya pada malam lailatul qadar di bulan Ramadhan. Proses penerimaan wahyu oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW sendiri berlangsung selama kurun waktu 23 tahun, yaitu mulai dari semenjak Nabi diutus menjadi Rasul pada usia 40 tahun, hingga beliau wafat pada usia 63 tahun.

Proses penerimaan wahyu oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW sendiri berlangsung selama kurun waktu 23 tahun, yaitu mulai dari semenjak Nabi diutus menjadi Rasul pada usia 40 tahun, hingga beliau wafat pada usia 63 tahun.
Kehidupan 23 tahun Nabi Muhammad setelah dipilih menjadi rasul berlangsung di Makkah selama kurun waktu 13 tahun, sementara 10 tahun sisianya Nabi tinggal di Madinah.
Sejarah Perkembangan Islam
Sejarah perkembangan Islam berlanjut setelah Nabi Muhammad SAW wafat. Berbagai kerajaan Islam bermunculan dan berkembang hingga ke Samudra Atlantik di barat dan Asia Tengah di Timur. kemunculan beberapa kerajaan Islam seperti kerajaan Umayyah, Abbasiyyah, Turki Seljuk, dan Kekhalifahan Ottoman, Kemaharajaan Mughal, India,dan Kesultanan Melaka telah menjadi kerajaaan besar di dunia.
Seiring dengan perkembangan berbagai kerjaan bercorak Islam yang bermunculan, maka seiring itu pula banyak ahli-ahli sains, ahli-ahli filsafat dan sebagainya muncul dari negeri-negeri Islam terutama pada Zaman Emas Islam. Kemunculan para ahli sains dari kerajaan Islam tersebut tidak terlepas dari banyaknya pendirian sekolah-sekolah.
Sejarah Islam di Indonesia
Menelisik sejarah Islam di Indonesia, maka hingga saat ini ada sekitar 6 pendapat tentang masuknya Islam ke Indonesia. Adapun pendapat-pendapat tersebut menyebutkan tahun kedatangan Islam masuk ke Indonesia bervariasi dari abad ke-7 hingga abad ke-13.
Berbagai pendapat-pendapat tentang tahun kedatangan Islam beserta perkembangannya di Indonesia dikemukakan oleh berbagai tokoh dan peneliti. Berikut ini adalah 6 pendapat tentang masuknya Islam ke Indonesia.
Pendapat Pertama
Menurut pendapat Hamka, yaitu salah seorang tokoh Muhammadiyah dan juga mantan ketua MUI periode 1977-1981, menyebutkan bahwa Islam yang masuk dan berkembang di Indonesia berasal dari Jazirah Arab atau bahkan dari Makkah pada abad ke-7. Hamka yang bernama asli Haji Abdul Malik bin Abdil Karim menyatakan pendapat tentang kedangan dan perkembangan Islam di Indonesia berdasarkan fakta bahwa mazhab yang berkembang di Indonesia adalah mazhab Syafi'i.
Menurut Hamka, mahzab Syafi'i berkembang sekaligus dianut oleh penduduk di sekitar Makkah. Selain itu dia juga menyebutkan bahwa fakta tentang yang tidak boleh diabaikan terkait hal ini, yaitu tentang keberadaan orang-orang Arab yang sudah mampu berlayar mencapai Cina pada abad ke-7. Hamka percaya bahwa dalam perjalanan tersebut, para pelayar dari Arab juga sudah mulai singgah di kepulauan Nusantara.
Pendapat Kedua
Seorang pegawai Belanda pada masa pemerintahan kolonial Belanda bernama Poortman menyimpulkan bahwa Islam dibawa dan disebarkan di Indonesia oleh orang-orang Cina yang bermahzab Hanafi.
Kesimpulan tentang sejarah masuknya Islam di Indonesia oleh Poortman tersebut didapatkan dari penelitiannya terhadap naskah Babad Tanah Jawi dan Serat Kanda. Selain dari penelitian dari kedua naskah tersebut dia juga telah melanjutkan penelitian terhadap naskah-naskah kuno Cina yang tersimpan di klenteng-klenteng Cina di Cirebon dan Semarang.
Adapun hasil penelitian dari Poortman tersebut disimpan dengan keterangan 'Uitsluiten voor Dienstgebruik ten Kantore' yang berarti 'Sangat Rahasia Hanya Boleh Digunakan di Kantor'. Hasil penelitian Poortman itu sendiri saat ini telah disimpan di Gedung Arsip Negara Belanda di Den Haag.
Pendapat Ketiga
Seorang penasehat di bidang bahasa-bahasa Timur dan hukum Islam untuk pemerintah kolonial Belanda bernama Snouck Hurgronje yang mengambil pendapat dari Pijnapel, yaitu seorang pakar dari Universitas Leiden, Belanda yang sering meneliti artefak-artefak peninggalan Islam di Indonesia, menyimpulkan bahwa Islam yang masuk ke Indonesia adalah berasal dari Gujarat pada abad ke-12 M. Mereka menempuh jalur perdagangan yang sudah terbentuk antara India dan Nusantara.
Pendapat ini juga dibenarkan oleh J.P. Moquette, yaitu seorang peneliti bentuk nisan kuburan raja-raja pasai, kuburan Sultan Malik Ash-Shalih, dan juga Nisan kuburan Maulana Malik Ibrahim di Gresik, Jawa Timur. Adapun hasil penelitiannya menyimpulkan bahwa Nisan kuburan Maulana Malik Ibrahim di Gresik ternyata memiliki bentuk yang mirip dengan nisan-nisan kuburan yang berada di Cambay, Gurajat.
Pendapat Keempat
S.Q. Fatimi adalah salah seorang yang berpendapat tentang sejarah Islam di Indonesia dan sekaligus menyanggah pendapat kedatangan Islam di Indonesia yang dikemukakan oleh Muquette yang memperkuat pendapat Pijnapel dan Hurgronje. Fatimi berpendapat bahwa nisan-nisan kuburan yang ada di Aceh dan Gresik justru lebih mirip dengan bentuk nisan-nisan dan kuburan yang ada di Benggala, sekitar Bangladesh sekarang.
Lebih lanjut Fatimu juga percaya bahwa pengaruh-pengaruh Islam di Benggala sangat banyak ditemui dalam Islam yang berkembang di Nusantara pada zaman dahulu. Oleh karena itu, Islam yang ada di Indonesia sebenarnya berasal dari Bangladesh.
Pendapat Kelima
G.E. Marrison juga seorang yang pernah mengemukakan pendapat tentang keberadaan masuknya Islam ke Indonesia. Dalam pendapatnya tersebut Marrison juga menyanggah pendapat Moquette, bahkan dia sendiri malah yakin, jika Islam yang datang ke Indonesia berasal dari Pantai Coromandel, India Selatan. Adapun sebagai alasannya adalah karena pada abad ke-13M, Gujarat masih menjadi bagian dari kerajaan Hindu, sementara di Pantai Coromandel, Islam telah berkembang.
Morrison juga memperkirakan bahwa pembawa dan penyebar Islam yang pertama masuk ke Indonesia adalah para Sufi dari India. Para Sufi tersebut menyebarkan Islam di Indonesia dengan pendekatan tasawwuf pada akhir abad ke-13 M, dimana waktu itu terhitung belum lama dari peristiwa penyerbuan Baghdad oleh orang-orang Mongol.
Adapun pernyerbuan yang dimaksud adalah penyerbuan yang memaksa banyak para Sufi keluar dari zawiyah-zawiyah mereka dan melakukan pengembaraan ke luar wilayah Bani Abbasiyah, seperti ke ujung Persia atau bahkan ke India.
Pendapat Keenam
Pendapat keenam tentang masuknya Islam ke Indonesia dikemukakan oleh Hoesein Djajaningrat. Djajaningrat juga dikenal sebagai orang Indonesia pertama yang mempertahankan disertasi di Universitas Leiden, Belanda, pada 1913. Disertasinya tersebut berjudul Critische Beschouwing van de Sadjarah Banten (Pandangan Kritis mengenai Sejarah Banten).
Menurut Djajaningrat, Islam yang masuk ke Indonesia berasal dari Persia. Adapun sebagai alasan Djajaningrat mengemukakan pendapat tersebut adalah berdasarkan peringatan 10 Muharram atau hari Asyura sebagai hari kematian Husein bin Ali bin Abi Thalib yang ada di Indonesia berasal dari perayaan kaum Syiah di Persia. Peringatan 10 Muharram itu lebih dikenal sebagai perayaan Hari Karbala.
Djajaningrat juga meyakini pendapat tersebut, karena pengaruh bahasa Persia juga masih dapat ditemukan dibeberapa tempat di Indonesia. Selain itu keberadaan Syeikh Siti Jenar dan Hamzah Fansuri dalam sejarah Indonesia menandakan adanya pengaruh ajaran wihdatul wujud Al-Hallaj, seorang Sufi ekstrim yang berasal dari Persia.
Kesimpulan
Terlihat berbagai perbedaan pendapat tentang sejarah masuknya Islam ke Indonesia oleh berbagai tokoh dan juga para peneliti. Perbedaan pendapat tersebut terjadi karena dasar-dasar berpikir yang dipakai dalam membangun pendapat.
Pijnapel, Hurgronje, Marrison, Moquette, Fatimi lebih mempercayai bukti-bukti kongret yang masih bisa diyakini secara pasti, bukan perkiraan. Oleh sebab itu pendapat-pendapat mereka dapat dikatakan lebih logis, meski dapat juga menuntut mereka untuk percaya bahwa Islam pertama kali berkembang di Indonesia pada sekitar abad ke-13, yaitu lebih belakangan ketimbang agama Hindu dan Buddha.
Begitu juga dengan pendapat Residen Poortman. Meski pendapatnya tersebut berdasarkan catatan-catatan dari Cina yang tersimpan bertahun-tahun, tetapi masih ada kemungkinan salah tafsir atas pernyataan-pernytaan tertulis yang ada di dalamnya. Selain itu bisa pula ada kemungkinan adanya manipulasi data tanpa sepengetahuan pembaca.
Adapun pendapat Hamka bahkan akan lebih mudah untuk terjerumus ke dalam bentuk syak yang belum tentu bisa dibuktikan kebenarannya. Adapun pendapat yang dikemukakan oleh Hamka hanya berdasarkan pikiran-pikiran pribadi yang tidak ditunjang oleh data sejarah yang kongkret. Oleh demikian maka sangat kecil kemungkinan pendapatnya untuk benar.
Begitupula dengan pendapat Djajaningrat. Bisa jadi persamaan-persamaan yang dikemukakan dalam pendapatnya itu hanya kebetulan-kebetulan yang mirip pada objek.
Akan tetapi, hampir setiap pendapat itu memiliki konsekuensi. Jika seseorang memercayainya suatu pendapat dari pendapat-pendapat itu, maka, bagaimana pun, ia mesti menerima konsekuensi-konsekuensi yang kemungkinan bakalan ada.

Chester Bennington profile
Biography Chester Bennington
Chester was a vocalist in a locally renowned band named Grey Daze and was given a mixtape from a band named Xero by a Zomba Music A&R executive in the latter part of 1998. Xero were searching for a new vocalist in the wake of Xero frontman Mark Wakefield's departure and started giving out demo tapes to try and find a replacement. After listening to the tape and liking what he heard, Chester wrote lyrics and recorded them over the tracks, then sent the tape back to the band. On his 23rd birthday in '99, Chester received a phone call from his Zomba contact saying the band were interested to meet him in person to try out for the lead vocalist spot. Chester flew to Southern California and met the Xero bandmates, then proceeded to completely blow them away in the audition. Not only did he impress the band, his performance also intimidated another vying candidate into leaving before his audition. Chester was a shoe-in for the vocalist spot. The band soon renamed themselves to Hybrid Theory and released their first material recorded with Chester on the Hybrid Theory EP soon afterwards in '99. Hybrid Theory would later change their ]name to Linkin Park.
Bennington is often labeled as the main source of raw emotion found in many of Linkin Park's songs. This stems from a problematic childhood plagued with the divorcing of his parents, sexual molestation, and heavy drug and alcohol abuse. Through writing music, Chester therapeutically released his pent-up frustration and anger. Instead of making the messages of his songs solely about himself, Chester's writing style uses universal emotions and relatable themes instead of situational lyrics to deliver his stories and help others. For this reason, Chester is regarded as a role model for millions of people who can relate to his messages. Chester has also realized his creativity through a number of musical endeavours besides that of Linkin Park. What initially began forming in 2005, ultimately became Chester working alongside Amir Derakh, Brandon Belsky, Elias Andra, and Anthony "Fu" Valcic of Julien-K & Ryan Shuck of Orgy & Julien-K to form the side-project, Dead By Sunrise. The band released their debut album Out Of Ashes on October 13th, 2009, and have played a number of shows in Europe. Chester also performs with his cover band, Bucket of Weenies from time to time too, a band dedicated to performing classic rock hits. B.O.W. is a collaboration of Chester on vocals, Ryan Shuck on guitar, Mike "Cheez" Brown on bass, Mike Rouse on guitar & Sean Dowdell on drums.Chester has also devoted his talents to other projects outside of music, which include his very own clothing line in Ve' Cel, a label comprised of edgy designs aimed at embracing uniqueness and individuality in fashion. Chester also has a creative outlet in his tattoo business, Club Tattoo, which is a part-owned enterprise with long time friends Sean Dowdell and Thora Dowdell. In 2002, Bennington performed a song called "System" off of Queen of the Damned (soundtrack). He provided vocals with rock bands Cyclefly, Mötley Crüe, Latin rock band Santana, and more.
