Jeff Blue, the vice-president of Zomba Music in March 1999, insisted them to get Bennington. Īfter a long time without a lead singer, Xero added an Arizonan singer named Chester Bennington. Farrell also quit so he could perform in concerts with many bands including his old band, Tasty Snax. Because they did not become successful, Wakefield quit so he could look for other music projects. The band started feeling uncomfortable and angry with each other after they were not able to get a contract from a major music company. Even though they have few materials, the band started recording and making songs in Shinoda's studio in his bedroom in 1996. After high school, they started to get serious in music and added DJ Joe Hahn, bass player Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and singer Mark Wakefield to their band. The band was first made up of three friends from high school, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Rob Bourdon.
