LINKIN PARK - One Step Closer

One Step Closer by LINKIN PARK Song Info

"One Step Closer" is the debut single by the nu metal band Linkin Park released in 2000 and the second track of their debut album, Hybrid Theory. It is also the song that catapulted the band to stardom, especially towards the rock audience, as well as one of the band's well-known songs. The song reached #79 on the Hot 100 on February 20, 2001. According to the One Step Closer Songfacts, the vocals were recorded in Mike Shinoda's flat one night while an angry neighbor hammered on the wall. He couldn't hear the actual music, just Chester Bennington screaming into the microphone. Until 2007, Linkin Park has closed every concert to date with "One Step Closer", excluding Live 8, their live performance at Summer Sonic. During the 2001 MTV VMA performance of the song, the band had The X-Ecutioners do an extended break before the bridge. This part was somewhat similar to the atmosphere on the remix, with synth parts and faint vocal parts being scratched. From 2003 to 2007, performances of the song include a verse originally sung by Jonathan Davis in the Reanimation remix of the song before the "Shut up when I'm talking to you!" bridge. At the end of the verse, Bennington then repeats the line "Blood is pouring" while the song builds up to the bridge. On occasion, Shinoda sings "Blood is pouring" under Bennington's screaming during this part, as is done by Jonathan Davis on the remix. This is half-done on the performance at 2004's Rock am Ring (in that Shinoda only sings the part during the second half of the bridge) and fully done during a performance during 2003's Projekt Revolution tour, which was recorded and included on the "Faint" single and is available as a bonus track for Reanimation when purchased on iTunes. On the single cover, it is called '"One Step Closer" (Reanimated Live)'. During the 2006 live performances in Japan, the Reanimation bridge was played with the main riff of the song. During the band's 2007 tour, "One Step Closer" became the opening song of Linkin Park's performances, and the Reanimation verse was removed. It also featured a new, extended intro featuring Mike Shinoda on rhythm guitar. In 2008 it became a new extended outro, and sometimes it was performed as the last song.

Still struggling with the loss..

- The Best Nu-Metal Album

This along with Meteora are in my opinion, Linkin Park’s best albums. They’ve aged very well and will probably still be played decades from now. If you want to get into this type of music, or Linkin Park as a band, I think this album would be a good place to start.

- One word

One word AMAZING

- Great album get don't think about it get the album now

Great songs, great band, great music.The best rock album of the 2000s. Buy the album now

- High School Survival Kit

This CD was part of how I survived relentless verbal and emotional bullying in High School. Made me realize other people had experienced my pain and aloneness and gave me some hope that life existed on the other side.

- Chester Forever

Forever my favorite RIP

- Nothing like it

No matter what music you like Linkin Park spoke to you. Just an amazing cd!

- My fav

My first album I ever bought. Here I am 20 years later, and it’s still my favorite. Linkin Park killin it

- Brings me back to my early 20’s

Chester’s vocals on this album are just wicked, the guitars are raw. By far their best album.

- This was the first album i got

This is the best my mom went to the concert Dear chester: You broke my heart but your legend will live on thankyou for givinh me potential to stand up to other pepole you inspired me to do many things and i really wanted to go to only one concert and work my life to go to only one so here lies my message and thanks for the inspiration.

- Best album

Each track good in its way. The album hasn't been top .

- Incredible Album

I love linkin park always and I'm a fan of every album. Huge fan of Chesters vocals and lyrics so deep. This year I planned to see them live front row because I haven't been to any of their shows. I'm so upset I'm never gonna hear Chester singing live. I have attempted suicide a few times and I'm blessed I failed at my attempts, at least for now. I hope God keeps me lifted and I never fall back to the darkness. I spent most my days in dark places, such a dark life. I made it to the light though. Who knows if it was really suicide. Doesn't seem like he would copy the way his friend died, maybe someone killed the both of them.

- Best ever!

I've been a huge fan since they began, and this has some of their best songs on it. I'm so sad that I'll never get another chance to see them perform again!

- RIP

Rest in Paradise Chester!!! You will never be forgotten. Fly high with the angels. Until we meet again.

- Rip

This was my teen years soundtrack and meteora music is really a time keeper I would scream chesters parts in my room wanting to be him so bad first band I fell in love with growing up rest easy Chester thx you for the music hope you at peace 🙏🏽

- ❤️🤦🏻‍♂️❤️🤦🏻‍♂️❤️

Does it get any better than this?

- One of the best albums ever.

I still have the CD from 2000 and I bought the album also for my IPhone. I love Linkin Park so much. RIP Chester. I'm so sad. The world lost a legend and a wonderful human being. I wish I could have seen them in concert at least once. "Points of Authority" and "My December" are my favorite although every song on Hybrid Theory is amazing. Every single fan has to come together and be strong. That's what he would have wanted. ❤️

- I Remember

When this album came out, and place for my head was my favorite song, i loved linkin park's older music, their new stuff not so much, regardless of his choices why, Chester was an extremely talented musician, and the would grows a little darker with him gone.

- Love it

I love it! But it's so sad that a couple of days ago Chester killed him self😭

- Awesomeness

My favorite album with this band. I love "Point of Authority " support their families in this time of sorrow. They get something and you get something in return. RIP Chester. Love y'all.

- Linking park fan
