LINKIN PARK frontman Chester Bennington joined his friends JULIEN-K on stage at The Roxy in West Hollywood, California Thursday night (April 8) to sing the songs "Maestro" and "Technical Difficulties".

Watch fan-filmed video footage of the performance below.

JULIEN-K is the brainchild of two of the founding members of the platinum-selling group ORGY — Amir Derakh (also ex-ROUGH CUTT) and Ryan Shuck.

The band released its debut full-length LP, "Death To Analog", on March 10 via Metropolis Records. A limited-edition version of the album includes a bonus disc titled "Death To Digital", featuring remixes of album tracks by such electronic luminaries as Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, SHE WANTS REVENGE, Photek, among others.

According to a press release, JULIEN-K "fuses elements of dark electronic club music with styles of modern rock and pop. JULIEN-K fills a void that exists between genres without leaning too heavily in any direction." "Why is there no band that's really rocking my world," asks vocalist Shuck. "Where are the revolutionaries? I haven't seen any bands stirring that up, bringing a new look, a new everything, kids buying guitars because they want to sound like that band. With JULIEN-K that's what I'm going for. I want to start a movement — a new religion."

Joined by drummer Elias Andra and studio collaborator and cohort Brandon Belsky on keyboards and vocals, JULIEN-K pushes the boundaries of what traditional electronic music is supposed to be. "Death to Analog" introduces listeners to a world where technology is fused with artistic expression in a way that has not been attempted before.

Executive-produced by Chester Bennington (LINKIN PARK) and mixed by Tim Palmer (THE CURE, HIM, U2), "Death To Analog" provides a sweeping landscape of musical influences and themes that pull the listener into their world on first listen. From expansive epicness of "Forever" that harkens mid-era DEPECHE MODE coupled with a futuristic center, to the deconstructed quasi-cover of ROMEO VOID's "Nvr Say Nvr", to the swirling synthpop of the first single and video "Kick the Bass", this debut sounds both eternally familiar but completely new and refreshing.

Yeah, I'm surprised this thread isn't mobbed. At least you and I are aware of the new Freddy.

I don't have an unclie and I truly don't know or care otherwise. I find the pirates fascinating and the whole ordeal is extremely entertaining.

Jackie Earle Haley, who recently played Rorschach in Watchmen, will now be wearing the razor glove and trademark red and green sweater.

The film's direct, Samuel Bayer, says of Haley, "Looking at his performance in Watchmen, here's a guy playing a character under a mask yet you feel tremendous empathy for him. And in Nightmare he is going to be under prosthetic make-up. You have to feel something for the character. The greatest villains are multi-dimensional and I think he will bring that to the character."

So, does Bayer think Hayley risks being typecast because of the role?

Bayer says, "It's what you bring to the material. He's a well-rounded actor who will not be stereotyped by this. If anything, he'll be celebrated for it."

Filming is set to begin on May 5th in Chicago.

Ah, my least favorite song by either band. As much as I'd like to go out on a limb for VR here, the KISS Army has other plans. "Rock and Roll All Nite" it is.

I don't understand why we're rooting against the pirates. This pirate resurgence of late has been the most entertaining thing in the news in years.

Bring on the "insensitive" comments. 22

Yeah, I just tried to combine your old polls into one archived thread and ... catastrophe. My apologies.

Henriksen and "Hellworld" for me. I loathe "Freddy vs. Jason" and my opinions on "Resurrection" have been pretty well publicized. "Jason X" was ... fun.
