Mitchell Peters, L.A.

Linkin Park has unveiled the track list for "Road To Revolution," a double-disc CD/DVD of the rock act performing in at England's Milton Keynes National Bowl during the European leg of the 2008 Projekt Revolution tour. The set is due Nov. 25 via Machine Shop Recordings/Warner Bros.

The 18-track "Road To Revolution" was recorded on June 29 at the 65,000-capacity Milton Keynes National Bowl. The concert was attended by nearly 55,000 fans, the biggest crowd in Projekt Revolution's six-year history, according to the band.

"We've played more than two hundred Projekt Rev shows to hundreds of thousands of fans, and while each of those gigs has been special, the Milton Keynes show has been one of the most memorable," Linkin Park co-lead singer Chester Bennington said in a statement.

"Road To Revolution" follows the Linkin Park's 2007 release "Minutes to Midnight," which has sold 2.6 million copies in the United States. The set debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200.

In related news, Linkin Park recently called off a handful of benefit concerts in China, which were scheduled through late October. The announcement was made via a posting on linkinpark.com, stating that frontman Chester Bennington had injured his back and couldn't travel or perform.

The moment is burned into the mind of Roadrunner Records president Jonas Nachsin.

It was 1999, and his label had convinced Ozzfest organizers to put its newly signed band, Slipknot, on the festival's second stage.

Curious to see the band in action before its debut album dropped, Nachsin took a drive to New Jersey, where Ozzfest was playing at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. While hard rock acts Black Sabbath, Slayer, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, Deftones and Godsmack attracted the masses, then-unknown Slipknot took the side stage before a respectable audience of about 200.

And then, Slipknot ripped into its set.

"People were running down the hill," Nachsin recalls. "They heard this cacophonous noise in the background and decided that they literally needed to run and go see what was going on. Those moments are incredibly rare, not just in hard rock or metal, but in music in general."
