Linkin Park - From the Inside (8 Bit Version)
It's been three years since Chester passed away. Still feels like it just happened recently... Crazy how fast time flies. But, as on every July 20 since 2018, I decided to make a Linkin Park 8 Bit. This time, it's "From the Inside" off their 2003 album "Meteora" (my favorite LP album btw)!

“From the Inside” is Linkin Park’s fourth single and tenth track on their Meteora record.
Dave “Phoenix” Farrell came up with the original guitar idea for this song while recording with Mike Shinoda in the back of the tour bus during the summer of 2002. The song’s 6/8 time signature created an opportunity to juxtapose seemingly disparate rhythms, most apparent in the verses. When it came time to complete the song, the band ran into a challenge: Chester Bennington got sick. Unable to sing during his last week of scheduled recording, Chester was forced to finish his parts in New York, during the start of the mixing process. Down to the wire, the band was left with little margin for error. Fortunately, this song and “Somewhere I Belong” were written and recorded successfully on the third floor of Soundtrack Studios, NYC.
