Without these people, this site either wouldn't exist at all, or it wouldn't provide the level of content that it does today...THANK YOU!
Linkin Park - For being the inspiration behind the site. For being the soundtrack to my teens, twenties, and beyond. For introducing me to the countless wonderful people I've met through this community, including my wife! For being kind enough to autograph, personalize, and send me one of Brad's STAGE-USED GUITARS (this still blows my mind) for no reason other than thinking I have a cool website. For everything. R.I.P. Chester!
Sean Paden - For your years of friendship and words of wisdom. For the opportunity to work with GGP. For being the single biggest source of information relevant to this website. For cultivating badass guitar tones at a decade's worth of Linkin Park shows. You tower head and shoulders above many other people I've met in the industry, both physically and metaphorically!
Ben Young - For filling some big shoes as Brad's guitar tech after Sean's 11-year tenure with the band ended, and for filling some even bigger shoes as fill-in guitarist extraordinaire on several occasions when Brad wasn't available (bonus shout-out for doing the same in your current gig with Fall Out Boy)! We may not have interacted much outside of the occasional comment volley on Instagram, but you've been a great source of information over the years.
Ethan Mates - For being, in my opinion, the unsung hero of most of Linkin Park's studio albums, and for frequently posting photos from the studio over the years.
Mark Terrell and Dmitry Merkulov (LPLive) - For hosting my guitar tabs for the better part of a decade, and for being incredibly supportive of all my projects over the years.
Derek Oswald (The Linkin Park Association) - For convincing me to start doing guitar tabs in the first place and sending me on this crazy journey, and for serving as the host for my guitar tabs in the early years.
Jonas Breunig - For constantly giving me heads-ups about guitar-related stuff I may have missed.
Alvaro Caro - For being the guy who knows everything about the stuff that I don't. Seriously, if I'm the guru of the band's guitar-related stuff, you're the equivalent drums/keys/DJ guy. I think you're as crazy as everyone else probably thinks I am, and I mean that in the best way.
Oktavia Palgunadi - For over 20 (!) years of friendship dating back to my earliest days on the linkinpark.com forums in 2003, and for sending me a TON of guitar photos during this site's infancy. I believe most or all of them have been replaced with higher-quality images by now, but you still had a VERY big hand in getting this site off the ground!
Brennan Percy and Sergey Iv (LPCatalog) - For being a valuable (if unexpected) source of information on occasion. The scope of your website is very different from that of mine, but the amount of work you've put into it is nothing short of phenomenal. One of these days I'll get around to registering my collection with you guys...
Drew Gadsby - For going out of your way to get guitar photos/videos for me while following the band around North America on tour, and for that epic time you and Leah crashed at my house during Projekt Revolution in 2008.
Thomas Eger (BlackChester Photography) - For being one of my biggest supporters, and for being an excellent live concert photographer whose work has helped me out on numerous occasions.
Ana Alcocer and Zara Penrice (Mike Shinoda Clan) - For being my go-to source for live concert photos for many years. Your content has helped me a ton, and I think I speak on behalf of a lot of Linkin Park fans when I say your website is tremendously missed.
Square/Weebly - For hosting my website! I tried out several different providers leading up to the shutdown of Webs, and the editor on here was the easiest one for me to figure out by a mile. I thought rebuilding a 16-year-old website from scratch would be a massive pain, but things have gone way more smoothly than I ever could have expected.
Vistaprint/Webs/Freewebs - For hosting my website from its launch in October of 2007 all the way up until the Webs brand was finally discontinued in September of 2023. While the lack of customer support in later years was a source of numerous headaches, the fact that I stuck around until the service was literally closed down shows how useful of a product your platform was for me.
Imgur - For coming through for me when Photobucket lost their damn minds and decided to start charging people $400 a year just to link to their own images. I'm still getting emails from Photobucket begging me to reactivate my account 6 years later, LOL.
Everyone Else - To my YouTube subscribers/viewers, to my followers on my various social media accounts, to all the friends and acquaintances I've made over the last 20 years in the Linkin Park community...you're the reason I'm still here doing this in my mid-30's. Thank you.
