Following Meteora's success, the band postponed working on a new studio album for the next several years. Instead, Linkin Park continued to tour and work on many side projects. Bennington appeared on DJ Lethal’s State of the Art and other work with Dead By Sunrise, while Shinoda did work with Depeche Mode.[11] In 2004, the band began to work with Jay-Z in order to produce another remix album, entitled Collision Course. The album, which featured intermixed the lyrics and background tracks from both artists' backgrounds, debuted in November 2004. Shinoda also formed a new band, Fort Minor, as a side project. With the aid of Jay Z, Fort Minor released their debut album, The Rising Tied to critical acclaim.[25][26] On the home front, the band's relationship with Warner Bros. Records was declining rapidly on account of several trust and financial issues.[27] After months of feuding, the band finally negotiated a deal in December 2005.[28]

Additionally, they also participated in numerous charitable events. Linkin Park helped raise money to benefit victims of Hurricane Charley in 2004 and later Hurricane Katrina in 2005.[11] They also helped relief efforts for the 2004 Tsunami victims by staging several charity concerts and setting up an additional fund called "Music for Relief".[29] Most notably, however, the band participated at Live 8, a series of charitable benefit concerts set up to raise global awareness.[30] Alongside Jay-Z, the band performed on Live 8's stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a global audience.[30] The band would later be reunited with Jay-Z at the Grammy Award Ceremony 2006, during which they performed Numb Encore/Yesterday, en route to winning a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.[31] They would later go on to play at the 2006 Summer Sonic music festival, which was hosted by Metallica in Japan.[32]
