Hybrid Theory
One band featured in Lockout was Hybrid Theory.
While at the dentist office, there was a dental assistant who asked Marc Ostrick what he was working on and he told her about his project, a series on breaking bands. She said her husband was in the music business and Ostrick should speak with him. It turns out that her husband was Jeff Blue. They got together and Blue told him about a new band he had just signed called Hybrid Theory. Ostrock thought they had a great sound and Blue introduced them.[4]
The band was taped on February 24, 2000 while rehearsing material for their first album. The band's rehearsal space at the time was located on Hollywood Boulevard between the intersections of Hollywood Boulevard and Ivar Avenue, and Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. Ostrick's first impression was that they definitely were taking what they were doing seriously, as they rehearsed with a lot of intensity while performing, like it was a real show.
On the series, they are seen playing versions of "Esaul", "Slip" and "Rhinestone". Before releasing their debut effort, the band changed their name to Linkin Park.
Jeff Blue is also featured in one of the episodes, playing a demo CD containing versions of "Untitled" and "Super Xero".
Marc Ostrick spent around 5 hours with the band and about 2.5 hours of footage were filmed. It became a big sought after item among fans. Over $10,000 is wanted by Marc Ostrick for the full raw footage.
