The conflict between Linkin Park and Kyle Christner arose after a re-release of the debut album ‘Hybrid Theory’ (2002) in 2020. The former bassist has not received any income for this, although he does earn it. That’s what Christner claims in his complaint. “Christner was not paid a cent for his work with Linkin Park and is not credited,” his attorney said. “The defendants benefited from his creative work.”
Christner also claims to have worked on twenty songs on the reissue of ‘Hybrid Theory’. He also had a major role in the song ‘Could Have Been’, a previously unreleased demo track that has been viewed 949,000 times on YouTube. According to the musician, he is “co-creator of many songs on the box set.” He therefore demands that he become co-owner of the copyrights of the songs and receive compensation for his work.
In 1999, Christner was part of the rock band. He was fired when Linkin Park signed a recording contract with Warner Records. But before his departure, he said he played bass guitar on several demo recordings and co-authored several unreleased songs.
