Shinoda's piano figure under Bennington's chorus took nu metal to number two, and the RIAA finally certified it diamond.

Twelve weeks atop the modern rock chart, and Bennington turning somebody else's expectations into a chorus millions shouted back.

Bassist Tobin Esperance wrote that riff on a piano, and Shaddix built a nu-metal standard about despair over it.

Lee wrote it at nineteen, the label insisted on a male voice, and David Campbell's string section did the rest.

Funk metal aimed at a Bad-era Jackson hit; he vetted the video himself and asked for scenes reshot.
