Linkin Park had a previous lead singer. Mark Wakefield. Back when the band was called Xero. Chester, the current lead singer of Linkin Park, was the singer of a band called Grey Daze. Shortly after Chester joined Linkin Park, they changed their name to Hybrid Theory. Then they were going to change their name to Lincoln Park, after the park in Chicago, but couldn't due to legal reasons so they changed it to Linkin Park.
Grey Daze - Drag Xero - Xero (full album) Here's a fair warning... Mark is terrible. The Xero album is this: Rhinestone (The song later turned into 'Forgotten') Reading My Eyes Fuse Stick N Move

Did you know VSauce has 3 channels?
http://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce http://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce2 http://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce3 It is something I guess. Though this is not the full scene, there is a futurama episode that pokes fun at Schrodinger's box theory, where he is being arrested for going 15 miles over the speed of light.

Did you know that Renny Harlin has put Finland references in all his movies? Usually it's a graffiti or a small Finnish flag.

Did you know that there is a banned Nick movie? It's called Cry Baby Lane, and it was only shown twice (once in 2000, another in 2011) before being banned for being too scarey for kids.
I've seen it and, to me, it looks like something you would find on "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?". Not that scarey to a 21 year old but to a 7 year old, I can see it freaking someone out.

I've heard about the movie but I've never seen it nor do I feel like watching it. Can I get a quick rundown on why it is considered so bad?

There is an urben legond about a good twin and a bad twin. When the good twin died he was put in the family grave yard, wile the Evil Twin was put in Cry Baby Lane (TITLE DROP). Well someone switched the bodys and now the two main characters unleash the Evil Twin by mistake. Now the younger brother has to find the Good Twin's grave before the Evil Twin takes over the world. Sound simple enough? The younger brother is almost killed by the Evil twin when he sends a tracker after him. Even the girl the hero like trys to kill him by making a spider bite him. The evil twin is kinda scary for a children's movie. His presence his creepy and you really don't know what he might do Now why is it bad? Well it's a 90's kid's movie. It's goofy and you know what kinda scares are going to happen. Like I said, it feels like "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" since it is a creepy movie made for kids, but it is the only movie I can think of that is a children's horror film. I will say that it is worth a watch just to see a banned Nick movie. From what I could find, many parents allegedly found it to be too graphic and disturbing for their children, which I can believe. I still would like a DVD release just to have it and show people.

When Mettalica's bass guitarist Cliff Burton died in 1986, the band seriously considered replacing him with bassist Les Claypool, who had tried out for the spot. In the end, they decided not to use him...because he was too good of a musician. Seriously, they were afraid his talent would overshadow the rest of the band and make Les look like a freak. Les Claypool would become famous in his own right as lead singer and bass guitarist of the funk metal group Primus, which he was the primary songwriter for. Anyone that has listened to both bands though can only imagine what in the world Metallica would have sounded like with Mr. Claypool.

Hanna Barbara is notorious for characters based on racial stereotypes.
(I find it unfortunate as this kind of ruins some of my childhood) Grape Ape was an African-American stereotype, depicted as being large, strong, but very stupid and intimidating. That, and the grape juice stereotype and all. The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan. Basically, its one of their scooby-doo shows but with a large chinese family. Their dynamic was that 3 kids formed a band and one of them was a mechanical genius. Warner Brothers did it a lot less subtly though. Speedy Gonzales, a mexican stereotype,'s original cartoon, was based around him crossing the US-Mexico border and stealing things, getting past the border guard, Sylvester, to feed lazy stereotype mice.

When washing a film, moviegoers have a tendency to scan left to right...
Now, look at the Pirates of the Caribbeans movies. Kiera Knightly is almost ALWAYS on the right side of the screen, that why people would spend less time staring at her beauty as compared to the ugly pirates, because they would notice the pirates first...
