Fuse; Battle Of The Fans – Linkin Park Second Chance!

So yeah we lost to Shinedown, BUT we can still get back up into the game, if we vote enough to get a second chance. It’s not over yet! Go HERE to check out what I’m talking about. Thanks Charlene for letting me know.

We’re giving one eliminated band the chance to come back to Battle of the Fans to face the top two vote getters in the final round! But there’s a catch: Each day starting Friday, the rockers with the fewest votes at noon and again at 6pm will be dropped from the poll.

MTV; Linkin Park Details Ongoing Recovery Efforts In Haiti

From Dave’s trip to Haiti, MTV conducted an interview with him, check it out.

“I just got back from Haiti last night,” Farrell said on the Los Angeles set of “Iridescent.” “I had gone over there to check on what we had been working on with Music for Relief, in conjunction with the United Nations Foundation. We’ve basically been working to install some solar-powered lighting in some of the camps there … the camp in particular that we visited had 40,000 people … and no electricity.

“So, at night, women and children are very susceptible to violence, rape, all kinds of really awful things, even when they’re doing something as simple as trying to go to use the latrines, the restrooms, et cetera,” Farrell continued. “We’ve been putting solar-powered lighting in strategic areas, and we’ve found that not only has that lowered the crime rate, but it’s given the camps a place where kids can go and play in the evenings, and, in addition to that, we have students studying and reading at the lights at night.”

And though Farrell said that he was “amazed” by the resiliency and spirit of the Haitian people, he realizes that bringing the nation back from the brink is an ongoing process — one that’s going to take a lot longer than most could imagine. But, with his bandmates, the U.N. and his fellow musicians at his side, Farrell is confident that, eventually, Haiti will recover.

“We’ve always felt like music is a very inspiring and uniting force, and with Music for Relief, we’ve always wanted it to be something that’s more,” he said. “It’s not supposed to be ‘Linkin Park for Relief’: It is really supposed to be ‘Music for Relief.’ We’ve always felt that with a united group of people, you can do a lot more than just as individuals.”
